Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime.
The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.
In case you're wondering...
it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans.
And nobody has been fired...
Don't stop talking about SignalGate
Will you look at that?

I could barely sit straight one month postpartum and Rep. Brittany Pettersen (CO-7) flew across the country and dressed up (probably wore heels too?!) to go vote NO on this terrible budget resolution
He was here on VACATION. He is not a criminal. He wasn't here trying to steal anything.
And he was still targeted by ICE.
His name was Juan Jairo Coronilla Duran.
Over 73,000 people are currently in ICE custody, the most ever...
But that's not the only shocking number:
- There has been a 2,450% increase in the number of people with no criminal record being held in ICE detention on any given day.
Jeanette Vizguerra has lived in the U.S. for 30 years. She’s a mom, a community leader, and one of TIME Magazine’s 100 most influential people.
And now, ICE has detained her without warning because she’s a powerful voice for immigrants.

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE. Jimmy Kimmel is coming back, but there’s a bigger picture here.
Nexstar and Sinclair own the most local ABC stations in the country. Both are waiting on FCC approvals for business deals that could shape their future.
THIS is what leadership looks like
President Biden: “The federal government will pay for 100% of costs for several LA wildfire relief efforts for 180 days… things like debris and hazard material removal, temporary shelters, first responders' salaries, all necessary measures…”

Catelin Drey just flipped a Trump +11 Iowa Senate seat!
Democrats have now overperformed in 37 out of 38 elections so far this year.
The FBI is arresting Judges now?
In Milwaukee, Judge Hannah Dugan reportedly used her chambers to shield someone from being taken by ICE.
Multiple witnesses say ICE showed up to the courtroom without a warrant, and it’s still unclear if they ever had one.
Call ☎️ (202) 224-3121 and say something like this
“Hi, I’m calling to ask Senator [NAME] to vote NO on the nomination of Emil Bove to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. He’s shown he doesn’t respect court orders, and that disqualifies him from being a judge. Thank you.”
While you and I are worried about our healthcare premiums going up, the cuts to Medicaid that will force so many rural hospitals to close, making sure that those serving our country get paid...
Republican Senators are going to a LUXURY GOLF RESORT for a fundraiser during the Government Shutdown
Yesterday at the White House I met @hcrichardson.bsky.social and I got so excited I forgot how to speak.
She politely asked me “do you have a name?”
And I only said “yes” 🫣🤣
(After a few seconds I did recover)
It's not left or right.
It's right or wrong.
Let's get in Good Trouble.
Thank you @booker.senate.gov
You gave us 25 hours and 5 minutes of FIRE ❤️🔥
Federal law says you MUST carry your immigration documents at all times.
So what happens when ICE takes them and won't give them back? You're trapped.
Legally required to carry papers that the government is holding hostage.
This is happening right now in Minnesota, and it's spreading.
YESSS!! @booker.senate.gov just broke the record!!!
Let’s remind everyone that the last Senator who spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes did so to stop the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
The last time someone spoke for over 24 hours on the Senate floor was to stop Black Americans’ right to vote.
Illinois State Senator Karina Villa ran (in HEELS!!)around a West Chicago neighborhood on Sept 15th, warning residents to stay indoors while agents were in the area.
🚨BREAKING! Democrats won two special elections today in Virginia and will keep control of the state’s House of Delegates and Senate.
If you’re proud of what you’re doing in office, you meet with your voters and talk about it.
But if you know your party is helping destroy the country… you hide. 🐔

Colombia buys more from the U.S. than the U.S. buys from Colombia.
So, if that idiot adds tariffs to things, Colombia will buy less from the U.S. farmers because it’ll become way too expensive.
Colombia buys a lot of corn and animal feed from the U.S.
House Republicans just voted to let presidents break the law, and to block courts from stopping them. (H.R 1526)
Yep. They voted on a bill that would ban nationwide court orders, even when the government is violating our rights. (Final tally was 218-214) 🧵
