ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

DEM LEADERSHIP: That's fantastic.

Starmer's government is ripping up the rulebook on protest to protect Israel – from classing protests as 'terrorism' to banning repeat marches and fining universities that allow student to demonstrate

The President’s authorities under Article II are limited to responding to an armed attack/the threat of one and do not apply here.

These continued strikes — 27 killed to date — risk getting the U.S. into a full fledged war.
