A report by Reuters found that courts ruled ICE illegally jailed people more than 4,400 times. The Trump administration's unlawful, anti-immigrant rampage must be checked. Tell Congress at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks- to hold the line and rein in ICE's abuses now.

@democrats.org I better see EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT voting against DHS funding. And then y'all better get out on the streets with the rest of America because it's time to stop writing "strongly worded letters" and DO SOMETHING. Stop letting your constituents die while you wring your hands.
So it's okay to protest in Iran but not in the United States? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/w...

If it has to be secret, chances are it's because you're violating someone's rights.
As we’ve reported before, ICE facilities are rife with human rights violations. Now, the Department of Homeland Security is trying to hide them, formally requiring members of Congress and their staff to give seven days’ notice before visiting immigration detention centers.
Gee, I wonder why. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

This would allow doctors to refuse care based on "reason for seeking care – including allegations of rape and sexual assault – current or past political party affiliation or political activity, and personal behavior such as alcohol or marijuana use". www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Language was REMOVED from VA hospital guidelines requiring healthcare professionals care for vets regardless of their politics/marital status, & allowing doctors & other medical staff to be barred from working at VA hospitals based on same parameters. WTF? 1/2 www.murray.senate.gov/trump-admini...

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.
Whoa! NYC mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Brad Lander seemingly arrested at the NYC immigration court while attending to escort someone attending their hearing.
