MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Wilmer Chavarria is a proud U.S. citizen and school superintendent. He was detained by CBP while at the airport and denied his due process rights.
His phone was searched, his husband berated, and his future threatened. He did NOTHING wrong. This is unacceptable.

The Trump administration’s deployment of troops was a deliberate attempt to create disorder in our city. Our National Guard should support public safety, not be used against the people of Los Angeles. Today, the court ruled in favor of the people of Los Angeles over the misuse of power.

Donald Trump diverted these brave men and women from their vital public safety operations and deployed them against the very communities they took an oath to serve.
Today’s ruling is unmistakably clear: the federalization of the California National Guard must end.

Masked immigration authorities were recorded on video following a woman back to her Louisiana home during what the Department of Homeland Security is calling a “targeted immigration enforcement operation.”
