Tennessee Wants to Let Schools Ban Immigrant Kids, Threatening to β€œEnd Public Education as We Know It” A Tennessee bill would take the right to education away from undocumented children. The Heritage Foundation is pushing it in other states.

Literally everything the Heritage Foundation suggests is nauseating

β€œThe state’s proposed β€œtrigger laws,” …are direct challenges to Plyler v. Doe, a narrowly decided 1982 Supreme Court case that enshrined the right to a free K–12 public education regardless of immigration status.”

🧡 2/2 TX Rep Monica De La Cruz (R) isn’t stepping up to help a family that’s here documented & following the rules

Antonio, a HS SR, the state’s 1st chair trumpet player, is sitting in the Raymondville detention center & his parents & brothers are in the Dilley Center

They’re kids, not criminals

There is no doubt the regime is corrupt, but it's also a certainty that it isn't why we're there.

What is this Shields of America thing? Except that Barbie now heads it instead of ICE. If she's in charging of wiping out groups of people, I have no doubt she will be successful.

One crazy dynamic that's developing is that Trump's need to demand "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER" probably provides an opening for the more bloodthirsty advisers to manipulate him by telling him more involvement is necessary to achieve the decisive victory he has blundered into promising

How State and Local Leaders Are Responding to ICE: Your Questions Answered How are states restricting ICE activity? Can local prosecutors charge federal officers? How can local leaders prepare for ICE deployments? We provide answers about local responses to the immigration crackdown.

Are you wondering if your police department is coordinating with ICE?

Our research editor Ethan Corey explains how to find out. Many local agencies have visible contracts to hold detainees for ICE, but other forms of cooperation are more subtle.

According to him, under normal circumstances, about 100 ships pass through the strait daily - roughly 50 in each direction. Around two-thirds are tankers carrying oil, petroleum products, and LNG, while the rest are cargo ships transporting coal, iron ore, and grain.

However, since the start of hostilities on February 28, traffic has sharply declined to nearly zero and has remained at this level for more than a week.

Leavitt explains that when Trump demands Iran's "unconditional surrender," he's actually demanding something far short of unconditional surrender

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

None of them matter. He leaves destruction in his wake and calls it all great, the best it's ever been. However it happens, the arson needs contained so all the fires can be put out. 3/

This is akin to trying to extinguish a massive fire while the arson runs around pouring more gasoline in various locations so that it's impossible to stop. It's all fire & to the arson it's all under control as long as it keeps burning out of control. Trans lives, Iranian lives, Black lives, etc 2/

Saying something is "just" a distraction from another thing doesn't give the thing the justice it deserves. While some things are more personal to others (such as trans issues) and others affect a greater number of people (economic troubles) they all point to an abusive man who needs removed. 1/

Yesterday, the Indiana Senate passed a bill to completely eliminate requirements...

The Indiana House and Senate have both passed a bill to completely eliminate requirements for businesses to document the employment of child workers.

If this bill becomes law it would enable employers to hide child labor violations, according to @epi.org.

She is not unjustly blamed. Maybe she didn't molest children, but she chose to take this position and cover up for him and others. She is also corrupt and blames others for her own wrongdoing.
