𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚🚨 51st(actually the 52nd+) person dies because of #ICELawlessness, torture & neglect this year. On 8/1, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, just 41, died in ICE detention after being brutalized & denied medication by Trump's immigration thugs. It's being done in our name with our taxpayer dollars.

Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"
