Senator Chris Murphy shared a harrowing account of two families detained while following legal asylum procedures in the U.S. Both families, with young children, were taken into custody during routine check-ins despite complying with all legal requirements. The children, detained over a month during the holiday season, experienced significant trauma. One child referred to the detention center as “the ugly place,” contrasting it with his home in San Antonio. Another child suffered from an untreated ear infection. Murphy criticized Donald Trump’s immigration policy, stating, “Donald Trump says that he’s going after the worst of the worst... No, he’s not.” He emphasized the policy’s impact on innocent families and children, calling it “fundamentally un-American” and “inhumane.” Murphy plans to meet with community providers and observe court proceedings to further understand the situation. #ImmigrationPolicy #AsylumSeekers #FamilyDetention #HumanRights #ChrisMurphy #ChildTrauma #USImmigration #InhumaneTreatment #LegalAsylum #DetentionCenters #HumanityMatters #ImmigrationReform—I just left a meeting with two families that just got released from detention. Two families with little kids who were traumatized for no reason. Two families that came here legally and played by the rules and it didn’t matter because Trump isn’t obeying the law.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Christ on a cracker — these seemingly hostile drones only missed Zelensky’s plane because he was unexpectedly early www.thejournal.ie/drones-dubli...

Democrats fought for you in the house and senate today, but they didn’t do it alone. Thanks to people following @indivisible.org & joining together to call our reps, Democrats showed strength & patriotism thanks to being emboldened & cheered on by their constituents. Keep calling! Spread the word!

Check list of actions House and Senate Democrats did to fight the Trump Agenda on Feb 6, 2025 from @Davidhogg111 from X (formerly Twitter).

This OPM penetration by Musk' goons has illegally compromised the personal info of millions of current and retired Federal employees. It's a data breach that the Russians and Chinese could only dream of. Where is all that data now?

Musk's penetration off the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) data bases represents a massive illegal data breach. This is outrageous and deserves a forceful response by congressional Democrats and the public.
