“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

remember, they changed the laws to make people criminals. They're talking about changing the laws to be able to deport you and me.
BREAKING NEWS: In a shocking statement, Karoline Leavitt confirms the Trump Administration is taking steps on a pathway to deport AMERICAN CITIZENS to El Salvador. This is absolutely insane.

In addition to the tragic loss of life, gun violence costs Texas $121B, with taxpayers covering nearly $4B—a crisis we can’t afford. Today, I met with Angela Ferrell-Zabala of @MomsDemand & @Everytown for the Texas Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence’s Advocacy Day to discuss solutions to address gun violence. Enough is enough. Let’s #RaiseTheAge to purchase assault weapons to 21 in honor of the 21 @LivesRobbed. #EndGunViolence #TxLege

Fact check this guy. He's the kind of guy to pee on you and tell you it's raining. Mexico is intercepting asylum seekers inside Mexico -- and setting up checkpoints inside Mexico -- and asylum seekers were asking for asylum from Mexico. They don't make it to the border

Meanwhile he's giving out millions in our taxpayer dollars to private jails and private security contractors. These guys are deporting the taxpayers and rewarding the leeches

Let's talk about audacity today, specifically the audacity of the nation's largest private prison firm GEO Group, which is preparing to collect a windfall from Trump's election. From wild exec statements to indefensible legal stances, GEO's audacity has reached new levels. 🧵

I hear comparisons between present day and 1930s Germany, were there really this many alarms going off about Hitler? reuters.com/article/us-usa-t… – at Fiji

I have to wonder if people in Germany in the late 1920s/early 30s watching politics felt the same way I do now #howisthishappening

Ah, freedom! Thanks Operation Lone Star -- if it weren't for the billions of dollars spent on your sham operation, the people of Eagle Pass would be celebrating Independence Day in Shelby Park. – at Eagle Pass, TX

Well this is interesting. I wonder how many of these mayors are on board mayorsmigrationcouncil.org/ – at Laredo, TX
Scoop: The White House is reaching out to mayors who represent cities along the US southern border to potentially join Biden when he announces a border executive order, sources tell me + @cdechalus. The administration is preparing to announce the order as early as Tuesday.

From the bottom of my Eagle Pass heart, thank you! – at Eagle Pass, TX
NEW: @JoaquinCastroTX & I are leading 30 other members of Congress in urging federal agencies to NOT participate in Texas' Operation Lone Star & similar programs. Under the Constitution, only the federal government can create & enforce immigration laws.

The freedom to protest is integral to our democracy. UT Austin students have a First Amendment right to freely express their political opinions — without threats of arrest and violence. If you or someone you know needs legal support, call the Austin Lawyers Guild: 512-817-4254
