Way to go, Lehigh County Pennsylvania! 👏👏👏 Keep up the pressure. The Republican party has no civilized solutions for immigration so like the buffoons they are, they resort to mindless violence. I hope the momentum is shifting. And Sarah McBride! THANK YOU for those beautiful words. 💙
ICE is the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in the U.S., and they can't pay a measly $115K rent bill that they've racked up over the past 3 years? Okay, not only do they have untrained agents, but they also apparently have lousy accountants.
They wanted to hire jack-booted thugs. That is not a bug; it's a feature.
When we get to the bottom of this, I believe we will find that there is a big overlap between J6 insurrectionists that Trump pardoned on Day 1 and the newly hired ICE agents.
Shame, but she has no capacity for shame. A woman who shot her own dog. Who serves on behalf of a man with no capacity for shame. I think that says it all!
Not only that, Noem has been involved in a romantic relationship with the equally shameless Corey Lewandowski. Frankly, I don’t know what they see in each other, and Noem looks like a cougar chasing the much younger Lewandowski.
I think Bill Clinton's statement was much better than Obama's. From the Hill:
In a statement Sunday, the Democratic former president fiercely condemned the “horrible scenes” in Minneapolis “that I never thought would take place in America.”
“People, including children, have been seized from their homes, workplaces, and the street by masked federal agents. Peaceful protesters and citizens exercising their constitutional right to observe and document law enforcement have been arrested, beaten, teargassed, and most searingly, in the cases of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, shot and killed,” Clinton continued, referring to two 37-year-old Minneapolis residents who were shot and killed this month by federal officers.
“All of this is unacceptable and should have been avoided,” he continued.
Clinton then knocked the Trump administration for the way it has responded to the shootings.
“To make matters even worse, at every turn, the people in charge have lied to us, told us not to believe what we’ve seen with our own eyes, and pushed increasingly aggressive and antagonistic tactics, including impeding investigations by local authorities,” Clinton said.
The Department of Homeland Security has defended the shooting, saying the agent fired “defensive shots” at Pretti, who had a gun that was recovered by federal authorities. Pretti, an intensive care nurse at a Veterans Affairs hospital, was licensed to carry the firearm.
Others dispute that version of events and accuse the agent of acting with excessive force, pointing to video footage showing Pretti holding his phone, not a gun, to record the law enforcement operation before the incident escalated.
Clinton urged the public to use the current moment to reclaim American democracy and not give up the fundamental freedoms that belong to the people.
“Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back,” Clinton wrote.
“It is up to all of us who believe in the promise of American democracy to stand up, speak out, and show that our nation still belongs to We the People,” he continued.
Not a penny for ICE. They are killing us. I commend the voices speaking out and pushing back but what we need now is for Congress to act. NO MORE MONEY!
Re ICE’s eviction: my only question is why they incurred such a lengthy non-payment period before eviction? Re what’s ailing Trump: far too many conditions to enumerate in a brief reply.
Having been born and raised in Allentown, PA (Lehigh county)....and having family that works FOR the county, I am particularly proud of the old home town.!
So far, two MURDERS have been committed in Minnesota by Federal Agents. MURDER is a crime. The MURDERERS must be held to account. The Nazi’s in Germany committed murders. THE ONLY difference between the murders by the Nazi’s and the murders committed by Federal Agents in Minnesota, all of which were committed in plain sight, is that the Nazi’s did not lie about the murders they committed. Trump, Miller, Bondi, Noem, Blanche, Patel are all lying about the murders that were committed.
I’m happy to hear that ICE is being evicted. I hope other states will follow suit. Trump has multiple health issues and the media should be calling this out much more aggressively.
Our two main actions today:

I've sent my letters! Senator Cantwell's form still doesn't allow Dr. as a prefix! Minor point I know.
Great. Now every single county in America needs to follow suit.
I LOVE what the folks in Lehigh, PA did! THANK YOU for sharing.
And I think the press really needs to go after trump's obviously failing health, in a big way.

Best headline I’ve seen in a long time
Yes.
I hadn’t heard about ICE getting evicted but I’m glad they did!
ICE is the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in the U.S., and they can't pay a measly $115K rent bill that they've racked up over the past 3 years? Okay, not only do they have untrained agents, but they also apparently have lousy accountants.
They’re actually better funded than many military for an entire countries!
Quite true. So you think they'd be able to have decent training and be able to recruit the cream of the crop, not the dregs.
They wanted to hire jack-booted thugs. That is not a bug; it's a feature.
When we get to the bottom of this, I believe we will find that there is a big overlap between J6 insurrectionists that Trump pardoned on Day 1 and the newly hired ICE agents.
But nothing much for social services that actually help people instead of killing them.
But were they always so well funded or is this a recent development? Clearly they were delinquent in paying their bills before the 2024 election.
Classic rump. Don't pay peons.
Accountants?? How about a Dear Leader who is known for stiffing his workers?
You are right. Ultimately the blame belongs at the top.
In colloquial terms, of course, because he's clearly the bottom of the barrel.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
⬆️"Okay, not only do they have untrained agents, but they also apparently have lousy accountants."
It could be the money was diverted into somebody's pocket or else they were just following the DJT playbook!
Ooh—the corruption keeps growing!
Too buying costumes for Kristy Nohm and propaganda action films.
Who gave her the Rolex she flashed outside of CECOT?
Shame, but she has no capacity for shame. A woman who shot her own dog. Who serves on behalf of a man with no capacity for shame. I think that says it all!
Not only that, Noem has been involved in a romantic relationship with the equally shameless Corey Lewandowski. Frankly, I don’t know what they see in each other, and Noem looks like a cougar chasing the much younger Lewandowski.
I also found the dog killing appalling.
Three years? They should have been evicted long ago.
Type 2 diabetes, congestive heart failure, drug addiction (stimulants), Alzheimer’s, psychopathy…. Any and all of the above.
Thanks, Scott, for all you do!❤️🤍💙
First of all, I think evicting ICE is epic! Are they behind on lease payments in other states? Evict them!
Also, Prez-nit ShitForBrains is "fitter" than Obama? They should do a sit-up and pull-up contest!

Great question Allyson, local officials can't provide me with answers as to why
just that it was administrative issue

Charge them interest on that overdue rent and property damage if necessary. Trumpstein files retention is the correct prognosis. Great news, Scott!
The felon is far healthier than President Obama?🤣😆😂😅😆. That’s just ludicrous.
LOL absolutely Linda!
