Immigration Attorney Eric Lee visited the largest detention facility for children in America this week.
What he captured from outside of the walls will turn your blood cold.
You hear children screaming "Let us out! Let us out!" over and over.

It is an insurrection and Trump is leading it.
It's not an “insurrection” when lethal force is coming from the government.
I feel like I should not have to say this. But I have to say it.

I'm glad my friend Maxwell is okay.
But violence begets violence. The man who attacked him yelled "we are going to deport you and your kind" before punching Maxwell in the face.
There are consequences for the way Trump is normalizing and excusing violence.

Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.
