  5. It’s no coincidence that ICE has targeted its ‘Citizens Academy’ pilot program in Chicago. We are the nation’s first sanctuary city and have a proud welcoming community that will not tolerate another tactic to normalize the criminalization of immigrants.

  6. The idea of setting a program to train people on how to arrest immigrants (’s Citizens Academy) is always reprehensible and immoral, but to do it in the middle of a pandemic shows a new level of total disregard for people’s lives by the Trump administration.

  7. This is a disgusting program that would encourage racial profiling and violence. And why wasn’t Congress informed about this before its rollout?

    . on the relationship between the U.S. & Mexican presidents: "Pres. Trump has insulted and attacked Mexico & Mexican Americans for years now. It's hard to believe that Pres. Lopez Obrador is falling for it... It seems that both of them had a need for a distraction"

  13. Today, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of employment discrimination. Personal beliefs should not stand in the way of people’s access to healthcare. Employers and universities who say they care about equality, should protect access to birth control now.

  19. Un crimen deleznable. Una mujer de 20 años sirviendo a su país no merecía una muerte así; tampoco una investigación tan lenta luego de su desaparición. Al decir , exijimos transparencia en su caso y en todas las Fuerzas Armadas que no protegen a sus soldados.

  20. A 20-year-old woman serving her country didn’t deserve to die this way, nor she deserved the slow official investigation that followed her disappearance. As we demand , we challenge the deep-rooted culture of silence and corruption in the armed forces as well.

  21. Vanessa deserves justice. Her family deserves to know what happened exactly. Those who protect our country deserve to be protected. The best way to celebrate today is acknowledging our racist history as a country, committing ourselves to do our part to change it & taking action.
