We are alarmed but not surprised that the administration’s goons accosted and handcuffed a sitting U.S. senator at a press conference in L.A. today, given federal agents’ ongoing, reprehensible and inhumane treatment of immigrant Californians.

Good news: A federal court barred Border Patrol from stopping and arresting people using practices that violate the Constitution. We shouldn't have to live our lives in fear of being stopped by ICE. @ufw.bsky.social @aclu.org @aclu-norcal.bsky.social @sdicaclu.bsky.social
