Leading members of Congress reject “invasion” Executive Order as “an attack on the separation of powers.” Anti-immigrant bigotry is a cudgel of authoritarianism. We must continue to name these attacks and confront them.

White nationalist groups like White Lives Matter Montana are pushing people to use ICE’s tip line to target immigrants & rights orgs. WSC’s Freddy Cruz: “It’s like weaponizing a gov’t agency to intimidate.” This isn’t public safety — it’s harassment. buff.ly/9j3eB3V
