No so funny now is it JD? Newsome was right to close I-5. The Trump admin is reckless, stupid, dangerous.

Over 70% of people arrested by ICE have no criminal conviction. Now, they are literally going after peaceful grandmothers. This shameful act is harming our communities. I demand the release of Harjit Kaur.

Harjit Kaur is a 73-yr old grandmother who first to the U.S. in 1992 and has faithfully reported to ICE for the past 13 yrs. Even though there has never been any violations and though she has serious health issues, ICE has detained her. She lives in my county.😡

Proud of everyone who stood for Harjit Kaur—a 73-year-old grandmother to her family & community.

Trump promised to go after the “worst of the worst.”

Instead, ICE detained a 73-year-old woman who’s checked in every 6 months for 13 years. We’ll keep fighting for her.

It’s unacceptable that ICE forcibly took Harjit Kaur, a 73-year-old grandmother with no record, from her community. 

She does not deserve detention and should be allowed to return to her family.

I’ll keep doing everything I can to support Ms. Kaur and her family.
