What the hell is going on? This is horrifying and UN-AMERICAN. No one should fear being violently attacked by their own government. This is not how professional law enforcement officers are trained to behave. ICE must be held accountable. No badge puts you above the law.
A U.S. citizen was hospitalized with serious injuries after federal immigration agents reportedly used a Taser on him during a violent detention in Long Beach on Saturday, sparking outrage among neighbors and local elected officials. ktla.com/news/local-news/us-…

JUST IN: I’m demanding Trump READS THE CONSTITUTION. 

His DOJ and FBI have NO right intimidating election officials, demanding private voter information, or interfering with how states run their elections.

Our election will remain FREE AND FAIR, the people will decide the result. Not Trump. VOTE BY NOVEMBER 3!

First, they offer no evidence to try to block 20,000 ballots from being counted. Now, the Trump Administration is threatening California election officials with criminal investigations without any legal basis. The Constitution gives states the authority to administer elections — not Donald Trump. California won’t be bullied, and every eligible voter has the right to vote and have their vote counted.
NEWS — The Justice Department warned California election officials that processing ballots from voters it identifies as likely noncitizens could expose them to criminal investigation, per the AP. The warning follows DOJ’s lawsuit seeking to block counting about 20,000 ballots.

UNCOVERED: A Trump White House adviser helped push Sable Offshore Oil Company’s dangerous California pipeline project close to a National Park and National Marine Sanctuary. Then she turned around and took a top job at the SAME company. That’s corrupt as hell. I’m demanding answers.

NEW: Trump’s DOJ is trying to force California to block mail-in ballots less than 19 DAYS before Election Day. This is a blatant attempt to interfere in our elections and undermine our right to vote. I’ll fight this ILLEGAL overreach every step of the way.

Trump's been running the same scam his entire life: rip people off and pocket the profits, no matter the cost. Now he’s doing that by putting our troops at risk while we struggle to pay our bills. We see right through the grift. And we’re not buying it. END THE WAR NOW.
Trump: And the Iran war will end very soon. It’s going to end very soon. As soon as I want it to end, it’ll end
