Sotomayor Condemns Trump Regime’s Racial Profiling, and Protesters Boo ICE Away in Rochester

Plus, an Epstein petition nears congressional threshold

As Trump unleashes more chaos on the world, I’m glad to have great news to share with you today. I hope it gives you some relief, even if just for a moment.

Here at The Dworkin Report, we dismantle Trump’s propaganda, while mobilizing the resistance and building for the future. So if you believe in independent journalism that fights back, please join us as a paid subscriber today:

SOTOMAYOR ROCKS

Justice Sonia Sotomayor got a standing ovation on Stephen Colbert’s show this week. It came after Colbert read out Sotomayor’s fiery dissent to the Supreme Court decision that allows the Trump regime to racially profile:

“We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish and appears to work in a low-wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our Constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.”

KEEP PUSHING BACK

A protest erupted in a Rochester, NY neighborhood this week, when folks discovered that ICE was trying to arrest people nearby. After federal agents took one person into custody, two men climbed onto a roof, and refused to come down.

The protesters pushed back until ICE and their caravan left, with boos and cheers coming from the crowd as they drove away. The two men who went onto the roof were not taken into custody.

A Border Patrol vehicle appeared to have its tires slashed at the protest. But Assemblyman Harry Bronson made it clear: “So one rogue person slashed a tire? Let’s not let that miss what this really is about, which is an attack on our democracy.”

WALKINSHAW SWORN IN

After his landslide special election win, James Walkinshaw was sworn into the House yesterday. This means the petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files only needs one more signature. Democrats could get there later this month, if they capture a win in Arizona’s special election.

AMBASSADOR FIRED OVER EPSTEIN

Britain’s now-former Ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson, has been fired over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Photos of Mandelson with Epstein, along with other documents, were recently turned over to the US House.

Mandelson warned that “a lot of traffic, correspondence” between him and Epstein will come out, saying: “They're going to be embarrassing.”

THE SIGNATURE

The Democratic National Committee is running a campaign with a mobile billboard in DC to call out Trump’s Epstein scandal. It features quotes from the infamous birthday letter that Trump swears he never signed.

Dem Rep. Jared Moskowitz made a great point about Trump’s excuse for the birthday letter, stating: “So you're telling me someone 22 years ago ... forged his signature when he was a Democrat, and somehow this person knew he would become a Republican and become president 22 years later?” Yeah, it doesn’t add up.

While Dem Rep. Dan Goldman made it crystal clear: “Trump is in the Epstein files. So now all of a sudden the Republicans who were so aggressively intent on releasing the Epstein files are quiet.”

We can’t let Trump and his regime get away with this cover-up. Which is why we’re pressuring lawmakers every day, flooding their phone lines and inboxes with our massive Contact Congress campaign.
