Republican incumbents were wiped out in Whittier, CA amid backlash to ICE activity, as Democrats flipped the mayor’s office and both council seats on the ballot by 30+ point margins.
Democrat James Becerra, who has called for a more resistant stance toward ICE, led the sweep.

Speaker Johnson must immediately reconvene the House to vote on a war powers resolution. It’s beyond clear we are at war. The Speaker's legacy will be that he made Congress so irrelevant that a president can threaten to wipe out a civilization while Congress is on vacation.

One of the most important jobs the embassies do is rendering assistance to Americans abroad. This is unforgivable in an instance where the problem was created by an administration that clearly made no advance efforts to provide the predictably-needed aid to Americans.

If you only invoke the Second Amendment after children are murdered in their schools, but defend the government when it claims someone deserved to be executed for being legally armed, then you do not believe in the Second Amendment

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.
Alex and tens of thousands of Minnesotans have boldly defended their neighbors against the murderous occupation of an American city by the federal government. I am enraged and heartbroken for Alex, his family, Minneapolis, and America.

If ICE was not in Minneapolis right now, the city would be peaceful. People would be living their lives. The city would be safe.
The fact that ICE’s presence is the cause of the chaos shows this isn’t about public safety, it’s about terrorizing the people.

Something @Timodc just said on our livestream strikes me as entirely true: This man, this ICU nurse, was killed for the free exercise of his 1st and 2nd amendment rights.

.@icegov YOU ARE COWARDS. You are all absolute, pathetic, untrained, unprofessional COWARDS. Todd Lyons and the rest of you not only need to be defunded, you need to be PROSECUTED.

Trump said his agents were going to deport the "worst of the worst."
Instead, his private police force is killing American citizens.

If there was ever a moment for libertarians and conservatives to step up and join the rest of us, we’re in it.
Americans have to unite and stop this descent from a freedom-loving nation into the kind of place where masked, militarized government agents are sent to politically noncompliant areas to roam the streets, terrorize civilians, and deploy violence with impunity.

You're seeing what's happening on American streets.
This is a police state.
Speak up.
Show up.
Use your rights — peacefully.

They shot Renee Good in the face.
They kidnapped Liam Ramos.
They just executed a man on the street.
Unmask them. Prosecute them. No more secret police.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
