NEWS: The Trump Admin issued a decision that paves the way for DACA holders to be issued deportation orders.

4 ICE agents hold woman detainee down—force her to sign deportation documents against her will. Agents held her down on table hitting her with their knees—physically pry her hand open to put fingerprint on forms. Then taken to "punishment cell" and left in freezing conditions with air conditioning blowing full blast. This happened just 2 days after her lawyer filed a formal petition in court challenging her continued immigration detention. Nicole Aracely Yanez Velez has been detained for over 2 years—despite claiming to have Convention Against Torture protection. She is currently locked up at the El Paso Service Processing Center in Texas.

This is outrageous. Even @POTUS’ former @NOAA Chief Scientist is sounding the alarm. Tornado warnings were delayed last week in Kansas, and THIS MORNING, the administration did it again. Kansans deserve answers because their safety is on the line.

Heads up #KC

Masked, armed, untrained federal agents are aggressively arresting Ohioans – without warrants - to meet Trump’s arbitrary quota of 3,000 immigration arrests/day. We urge the court to issue a class wide preliminary injunction to halt this practice. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/03/26/law…

🚨BREAKING The Trump administration is preparing to strip citizenship from 100 to 200 Americans per month. From 1990 to 2017 — 27 years — the US filed 305 total denaturalization cases. The new quota exceeds that in a single year. The DOJ memo includes a catch-all clause — “any other case the Civil Division determines sufficiently important.” A law professor says this language could be used to target perceived political opponents. The White House already floated investigating Mayor Zohran Mamdani. 25 million naturalized Americans are now provisional citizens.

🚨BREAKING: Republicans have BLOCKED our subpoena of Stephen Miller and Tom Homan. 

House Republicans continue to shield the architects of Trump’s Mass Deportation agenda from accountability.

Sen. Schumer after Republicans pass $140,000,000,000 for ICE funding instead of affordability measures: "Republicans showed the American people where they stand. Not for families struggling with the high cost of childcare, groceries, gasoline, electricity. But for pumping $140 billion toward rogue agencies."

🚨SEN. ELIZABETH WARREN EXPOSES THE TRUMP RX SCAM: Trump pitched “Trump Rx” as a cheaper “600% reduction.” REALITY: Protonix is $200 on Trump Rx. The SAME drug (pantoprazole) is $16 at Costco. That’s not savings, that’s a RIPOFF!
