Our people showed up in court. ICE showed up with handcuffs. The Trump-Vance admin’s unlawful courthouse arrest scheme puts lives in danger and violates the Constitution. Amazing work @DemocracyFwd for holding them accountable in court.

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump-Vance administration to stop ICE's arrests of noncitizens at immigration courthouses. This admin is stripping people of their due process rights in order to expedite deportations. It’s unlawful and unconstitutional.

Unless you're in the top 1%, the “Big, Beautiful Bill” probably hurts more than it helps. It adds trillions to the debt by cutting essential programs. Just to hand more wealth to those who need it the least?!? That’s bad fiscal policy and immoral. whyy.org/articles/big-b…
