Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

I voted HELL NO on Republicans' DHS funding bill. They want to pour billions of taxpayer dollars into ICE—an agency that LIED about targeting "the worst of the worst" and instead targets people with no criminal record. ICE is the worst of the worst. We need to abolish ICE.

Great to see former Vice President Kamala Harris during her visit to Memphis last week. I was proud to support her candidacy and appreciated that she toured the National Civil Rights Museum.

Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialJan 22(source)

ICE should be abolished. Kristi Noem should be impeached. She promised to go after the "worst of worst". She hasn’t. 75% of people they're apprehending have NO criminal record. ICE seems to be the worst of the worst. Minimal training, minimal standards.

Members of Congress should not be trading stocks while serving in office. It’s an obvious conflict, and any real ban should apply to Presidents and Supreme Court Justices as well. Republicans don't want to allow a vote on that kind of bill. So today I signed a discharge petition to force one.

COLLINS: Does it include the US having ownership of Greenland? TRUMP: It's a long term deal. It's the ultimate long term deal COLLINS: How long is it? TRUMP: Infinite. There is no time limit. It's a deal that's forever.

Nearly 60 Percent of Tennessee ICE Arrests Involve People with no Convictions - Memphis Flyer

Newly released government data undermines Trump’s ‘worst of the worst’ narrative. Meantime, ICE is arresting numbers of children, too.

ICE is on the rocks.Needs less ice. Make it neat.

I care and I love the game but the president should do nothing about making it like a national game that has no competition from other football games . The networks pick their games and competition let people watch what they wanna watch. That's what America's about.

Dr. King taught that injustice is measured by how those in power treat people with the least protection. On this MLK Day, that test is clear. Targeting vulnerable families with raids and deportations, responding to protest with deadly violence, and attacking health care and SNAP is a moral failure.

Trump wants Greenland to be part of his legacy expanding USA landmass as Jefferson did w Louisiana Purchase( for good reasons) and James K Polk did w Texas and SW environs to Oregon.In essence EGO!

We cannot accept a DHS Secretary who lets federal agents shoot an American citizen and walk away without accountability. I’ve called for Kristi Noem’s immediate resignation and have joined the effort to impeach her. ICE is out of control & irreparable—it’s time to uproot this agency and start again.

Breaking News: Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan said that federal prosecutors are investigating her after she urged service members to resist illegal orders.

We’ve all seen the video. An ICE officer shot Renee Good as she tried to drive away—then agents rendered no aid and left the scene. And instead of accountability the Trump admin smeared her as a domestic terrorist. This demands consequences. Noem has to resign, and I'm calling for her impeachment.
