We've said it before and nine federal courts have made it clear as well — you have the right to film ICE. EFF has joined 12 other free speech organizations calling on the Trump Administration to stop spreading the false claim that it is "illegal" to record ICE agents. ncac.org/news/free-e...

Even a doomed-to-fail impeachment effort offers Democrats some distinct advantages. Remember: Democrats are in a content-creation war with the Trump regime.
