🚨BREAKING: DHS agents are now illegally arresting U.S. citizens at airports… and trafficking them across state lines. A 28-year-old U.S. citizen, Sunny Naqvi, was detained by DHS, for 43 hours, after landing at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. She wasn’t charged with a crime, and she wasn’t accused of doing anything illegal… Agents reportedly detained her over what they called a “curious travel history.” Even though Sunny was born in Illinois…they still disappeared her. After being held for about 30 hours inside the airport, agents secretly moved Sunny to an ICE detention facility in Broadview, Illinois. While this was happening, federal agents repeatedly told her family she was NOT in custody, even though her phone location showed she was inside the facility. Then it gets worse. According to witnesses, agents asked for Sunny’s phone number so they could “look for her phone.” Minutes later, the phone was opened, her messages were read, and the device was shut off, cutting off the family’s ability to track her. After that, agents transported the U.S. citizen across state lines, to another detention facility in Dodge County, Wisconsin. And then she was eventually released early Saturday morning… in a random state, alone. Her phone was dead, and she had no transportation. So, a U.S. citizen detained by the federal government had to hitchhike to a hotel, just to be able to reunite with her family. And this is what people need to understand… When federal agents can detain U.S. citizens without charges… lie to families about their custody, search personal phones, and secretly transport people across state lines… That puts every single American in danger. Because they can do it to anyone.

@LeakinYours @mddems We will continue hooting and hollering because we, in no way, shape, or form want this in MD.

All that hooting and hollering from @mddems + @Progressive_MD to play in Maryland voter’s faces. When will Maryland discover that these contracts don’t appear over night and your Maryland leadership invited them? #MDPolitics #MDGA26

ICE is rounding up thousands of people with no criminal record and throwing them into concentration camps where conditions are so bad that people are committing suicide while the guards bet on who kills themselves next

Tonight, Ramadan begins for our Muslim neighbors here in Montgomery County and around the world. There are more than 30,000 Muslims in the County, making it the fourth-largest Muslim population in the U.S. To all who observe Ramadan, have an easy and meaningful fast.

Our communities our safer when we don’t have to live in fear. Thank you, Governor Wes Moore for signing new legislation that bans agreements between local law enforcement and ICE. #abolishice cnsmaryland.org/2026/02/17/mar…

Thanks to years of sustained organizing, nearly half a million workers unionized in 2025! In the face of relentless attacks on our jobs, our rights and our freedoms, working people are turning to the labor movement to fight back. aflcio.org/press/releases…

In his last speech, Dr. King reminded us that the greatness of America is the right to protest for rights. His words are as relevant today as they were then. In the face of authoritarianism, we'll always remain active, engaged, and relentless in our pursuit of justice.

Dr. King reminded us that justice delayed is justice denied. Today, we recommit to building a Maryland shaped by courage, compassion, and community-led change. #MLKDay

Two birthdays. Two days apart. One shared legacy of courage. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born January 15. Muhammad Ali was born January 17. Both used their platforms to challenge racism, reject injustice, and demand dignity for Black people at home and around the world. How do you uphold the legacy they left? #MLKDAY #MuhammadAli

BREAKING: Manufacturing jobs have plummeted under Trump's tariffs—this is not putting America first.

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street.”
