ZOHRAN: “TBH, I don’t think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery— to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION/day to kill ppl in Iran & Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”

I was proud to stand with CASA, Senator Will Smith, Latino Caucus Chair Martinez, the ACLU of Maryland, the Office of the Public Defender and others today during the press conference in support of banning 287g agreements in Maryland.
