Solitary confinement is inhumane and part of a larger pattern of systemic abuse against people in ICE detention — this torturous practice must end.

More immigrants are being locked up alone. And the practice is growing.

Solitary confinement in ICE detention: "The more data that is released the worse we realize it is," researcher says.

On the first day of school for kids in DC, federal agents in unmarked cars are intimidating families at child care centers.

No one should have to live in this kind of fear.

Trump deployed the National Guard and mine-resistant vehicles to clean up DC crime. Now one crashed into a civilian's SUV. The metaphor writes itself. Our latest on the militarized occupation of Washington:

Trump's military occupation of DC crashes into reality—literally

Armored vehicles running red lights, feds busting residents for pot. All coming to a city near you.

Alligator Alcatraz is cruel and destructive to immigrants, their families, our communities, and our national soul.

It is also destructive to the land and water, plants, animals, fish, and birds near it.

The courts recognize that second group as worth saving, but not the first group.

I am horrified to learn that Muhammad Zahid Chaudhry was detained by ICE during a scheduled immigration appointment. While we’re still waiting for details, it’s not lost on me that Zahid and Melissa have been outspoken in their advocacy for Palestinian people.

Trump doesn't care about crime in D.C. — which is at a 30-year low. He's creating another fake "emergency" in an attempt to show force. If he actually cared about keeping the city safe, he wouldn't have stoked insurrectionists to attack the Capitol on Jan 6. Hello?

Two things can be true:

1) The President has legal authority over the D.C. police and the D.C. National Guard that he doesn't have *anywhere else* in the country; &

2) Even if this doesn't set a legal precedent, it sets an ominous *political* precedent for pretextually overriding local government.

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.

President Trump is seizing control over DC police in a baseless act of political theater.

It's time to make Washington, DC a state to protect the rights of everyone who lives in our nation's capital.
