Restaurant owner gives free meals to active military during shutdown—now ICE is forcing her to deport.
She owns Tacos El Fluffy with her son—a U.S. Navy veteran.
Her work visa has been revoked—forced to self deport by end of month.
Son announced that he will have to close the restaurant for now.

This is the kind of forceful intrusion into people’s lives that government should PROTECT us from.
Rights are unalienable, and are not gifts from government.
How does deporting a mom who had legal status for years make us safer?
The Trump administration should reverse course.

NEW: U.S. Military Archbishop Timothy Broglio, long viewed as a conservative ally, has condemned Trump’s extrajudicial strikes on drug cartels as “illegal and immoral.”
It’s his second public rebuke of Trump in two months — and a sign of a shifting Church under Pope Leo XIV.

Whether it's Trump murdering those accused of transporting drugs or Obama drone striking non-combatants, murder is wrong no matter who is in office.

Not like it would be justified if they were drug smugglers, but I think it hasn't gotten enough focus that a boat with 11 people onboard heading from Venezuela to Trinidad was almost certainly migrants. These were probably, at least for some of them, people fleeing Maduro. That's who they murdered.
