In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

The video makes clear that Alex Pretti was not holding a weapon in the lead-up to the shooting, or when federal agents forcefully took him to the ground
Video contradicts Trump administration account of Minneapolis killing
Once again, DHS appears to be lying.

.Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov now let's bring him home!
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Thank you! Let's keep putting holds on this insanity in the White House.
I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination.

He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech.

Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin.

So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

Dear Media,

🗞️ A felon defying court orders to return people he has disappeared is illegal, anti-American, and against EVERYTHING millions of people have laid their lives down to protect in this country.

🗞️START FUCKING REPORTING IT THIS WAY AND GIVE THIS HORROR THE WEIGHT IT DESERVES.

America does NOT take American citizens, shave their heads, separate them from their families, throw them into prisons in other countries, enslave them, and let them be unaccounted for —dead or alive.

We do NOT allow the Trump admin to human traffic in slavery or to repeat Nazi Germany!!!

Jeffrey Goldberg and Pete Hegseth. One takes DOD protocols seriously:

Goldberg:

—Did not disclose sensitive information; and
—Left the chat when clear he was on chain (errantly) w/classified plans

We’ve asked Pee Wee amateurs to play in big leagues. Expect (a lot) more unforced errors.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.
