As you can see, these ICE agents are pointing guns at innocent individuals, no warrants, no explanations, just fear and intimidation. These raids in my district are absolutely vile. Masked and armed like a militia, they’re terrorizing families and destroying any sense of safety

ICE detains Green Card holder—he was visiting his son in U.S. Air Force stationed in Japan. He has been a legal permanent resident since 1967—his wife, 4 children & 6 grandchildren are all U.S. citizens. Legally immigrated as a teen—had no problem renewing his Green Card twice

Trump’s plan: call legal immigrants “illegal,” strip their status, then deport them. Over 1 million people now face removal—not because they broke the law, but because he changed the rules. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/t…

66-year-old Victor Avila—a green card holder since 1967—was detained by ICE at SFO after visiting his U.S. Airman son in Japan. Despite a decades-long life in the U.S., he’s now been transferred to ICE detention near Bakersfield. His family is fighting back.

ICE agent points gun directly at the head of innocent civilian—just for taking picture of his license plate. He drew his gun with one hand—while fumbling to open the car door with the other. The "agent" did not seem to be aware someone else was already recording his vehicle.

ICE now claims power to block Congress from unannounced visits & bars any verbal or physical contact with detainees without approval. Lawmakers say migrants — and even U.S. citizens — are being held without lawyers, without oversight. What don’t they want us to see? 🔗

ICE agents showed up at Dodger Stadium this morning — and were turned away at the gate. The team denied them access to the parking lot, sparking fan outrage and raising questions as LA’s Latino community reels from immigration raids. Game still on tonight. ktla.com/news/local-new…

Not “dangerous criminals” — but dads at carwashes, moms outside schools, workers at Home Depot. ICE raids caught on video across LA & beyond show arrests of individuals who are not threats, but neighbors. The most powerful weapon now? Relentless exposure. nytimes.com/2025/06/13/opi…

BREAKING: ICE is “burning through cash so quickly that the agency charged with arresting, detaining and removing unauthorized immigrants could run out of money next month,” according to Axios. Oh no! How are they going to afford to chase immigrants down with masked men?

How are we okay with masked agents jumping out of unmarked vans, tackling people off the street, no badges, no names, no accountability? This is happening on our watch. (Video: Krassenstein)

BREAKING: “No one should fear being jailed for speaking out in this country.” – Khalil’s attorney And yet Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia activist and legal U.S. resident, spent 3+ months in detention for protesting genocide. He’s finally free. But this should never have happened.
