Immigration is at the forefront of current events.  The constant change in our political environment has created an atmosphere of fear based on the lack of knowledge about the legitimacy of identifying ICE agents.  Now there are a few concerns with the issue at hand: 1. Although it was a false claim of ICE agents, we do not know for sure who is and who isn't ICE agents, and they have been terrorizing citizens and immigrants during this administration.   Therefore, erring on the side of safety was the best course of action to protect my constituents. 2.  Contrary to the statements of Pope Leo XIV and Archbishop Grob, as recently as October 5th, 2025 at the Jubilee of Migrants and the Jubilee of Missions, Catholic Memorial chose to terminate Alderman Rico Camacho, disregarding the Catholic doctrine that has been set forth 3.  Brian Dorrow, Ceo at SRU (Secure Resources Unlimited) and husband of elected official and sitting judge Jennifer Dorrow, informed Alderman Rico Camacho that he would "escalate" the situation in a phone conversation regarding the post and subsequent apology. Over a situation that created minimal risk to his employees, per his statements to The Waukesha Freeman. 4. The post Alderman Camacho made was as a private citizen as the City Attorney verified with his office.   5. It was based on a public concern due to the political climate on immigration in the United States; especially, since the violence is in Chicago which is near to the city.  Which causes concern again about retaliating based on a whi 6. Alderman Camacho is unaware of how the school was materially disrupted due to the Facebook post.

The NBA’s partnership with Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates stands in direct contradiction to the league’s values of social justice and equality. The UAE has been accused of funding and arming forces responsible for the genocide in Sudan. Fans are calling on the NBA to end this deal immediately and stand with the people of Sudan.

SB 2420 expands state surveillance powers and undermines the confidentiality of personal communications and online activity. Texans should not have to sacrifice privacy to participate in public life or express their views freely. This bill sets a dangerous precedent for government overreach and violates the spirit of constitutional protections guaranteed under both the U.S. and Texas Constitutions.

Every citizen of the United States should sign this petition. This petition is a reminder to our elected leaders to uphold their oaths of office and not play political games with the American People. The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land, everyone should read it. This document is the foundation of the United States Government, it literally defines the government, it's powers and duties. Checks and balances between the branches of government are extremely important, they protect the integrity of our nation. Without these checks the nation goes into a constitutional crisis, which is extremely dangerous to our freedoms and democracy. The founders who wrote the United States Constitution trusted the branches to uphold and defend the Supreme law of the Land, that is why they all are required to take the oath of office: President of the United States oath "... protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" All other elected/appointed to an offices oath "...I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic..." Please take a moment and sign this petition and help remind our elected officials of their oath of office. Let us protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. 

1. Protecting Veterans and Staff: The Phoenix VA Police Department is responsible for security at a facility serving veterans. When the internal environment is toxic, discriminatory, and focused on retaliation, the officers' ability to perform their duty—protecting veterans, staff, and the facility—is severely compromised. 2. Upholding Federal Law: The petition directly addresses the finding that PVAPD created a racially hostile work environment in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Department of Veterans Affairs has a mandatory legal and ethical obligation to ensure its workplaces comply with federal anti-discrimination laws. 3. Exposing a Cover-Up: The most critical element is the allegation of Leadership Deception and Denial. When leadership actively denies substantiated federal findings, it represents a profound failure of accountability, suggesting that the misconduct is being enabled and protected from the top down. This destroys internal morale and external trust. 4. Stopping Retaliation: The document highlights the tactic of labeling truth-tellers as "disgruntled employees." If employees are punished for reporting illegal activity, misconduct becomes normalized, and the systems meant to ensure fairness (like EEO) become useless. 5. Demanding Systemic Change: The petition is not asking for a small fix; it demands Federal Intervention, an Independent Investigation, and External Oversight. This signifies that the problem is systemic and requires intervention from the highest levels of the VA and federal government to be resolved.

In the dead of night, armed federal agents in military fatigues raided a Chicago apartment building, breaking down doors and pulling hundreds of people — many of them children — from their homes, where agents detained them, zip-tied, for hours. Across the city, agents have been indiscriminately teargassing crowds of people, despite court orders. This is the horrifying reality of Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE). These military-style raids aren’t making our communities safer. Families are afraid to go outside, with increased reports of people keeping their kids out of school, skipping medical appointments, and staying home from work. Some members of Congress are already calling for an end to ICE’s reign of terror and introducing legislation to protect immigrants. But we need to build and strengthen a majority of lawmakers willing to take action in response to the horrors we’re witnessing to end these raids and keep people safe. The most effective way to do that? A massive wave of public pressure from constituents like you.  

Across the country and here in Oregon, immigrants are being torn from their families and locked in detention centers where they face inhumane conditions, lack of food, medical care, and basic dignity. These cages aren’t about safety; they're about control, profit, and criminalizing our communities. We demand the immediate release of Daniel, a loved and valued member of our community, and an end to the cruel and unjust system that continues to detain immigrants across the state. Immigrants are the backbone of Oregon. They are our teachers, healthcare workers, caregivers, and essential workers contributing millions to our economy and enriching every part of our society. This isn’t just about one person. It’s about dignity, justice, and freedom for all. This demand is backed by a growing coalition of organizations that stand united in calling for Daniel’s immediate release and an end to inhumane immigrant detention: Organizations  • Latinos Unidos Siempre (LUS) • La Resistencia  • American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) • Centro de servicios para campesinos  • PCUN • Capaces • International migrants alliance (IMA) These groups represent communities across Oregon and beyond, including immigrant rights advocates, faith leaders, healthcare professionals, educators, and human rights defenders.

This petition is important in order to get the school to start taking action by   1.  Hosting assemblies or informational sessions to educate students and families on their rights and what to do in case of an emergency. 2.  Creating safe spaces on campus for students who feel anxious, unsafe, or need support. 3.  Providing online learning options (Zoom or Google Meet) for students whose families are afraid to send them to school. 4.  Issuing a public statement of solidarity affirming that Reavis is a safe and welcoming place for all students and families, regardless of immigration status.

Every generation faces a moment when silence is betrayal — this is ours. No Kings is a declaration that the people are the power. Can you take 1 (one) minute to sign on to our message to Leader Thune and Speaker Johnson: 👑 Our communities deserve more than fear, silence, and billion-dollar bailouts for the powerful. We deserve safety, dignity, and to be heard. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.  When we rise together, no king, no tyrant, and no dictator can silence us.

In 1890, U.S. troops descended on the Lakota people at Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. What followed was not a “battle” — it was a massacre. An estimated 250 people were slaughtered. More than half were women and children. Many were killed as they fled, gunned down long after officers had ordered soldiers to stop shooting. Shamefully, 19 soldiers involved in this atrocity were awarded the nation’s highest honor for valor, the Medal of Honor. Congress and then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin worked together to review whether to rescind those medals, in light of the soldiers’ horrific actions. Now, Trump’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just doubled down on honoring the perpetrators of the massacre. “We’re making it clear [the soldiers] deserve those medals. This decision is now final, and their place in our nation’s history is no longer up for debate.” Unfortunately for Hegseth, that’s not entirely up to him. Congress has the power to act where the Pentagon refuses — by legislating the rescission of medals awarded to soldiers involved in the Wounded Knee massacre. We’re going to push them to do just that by passing the Remove the Stain Act introduced by Senator Elizabeth Warren (S.1915) and Representative Jill Tokuda (H.R.3609). With enough people speaking out, we can push Congress to take this decision out of Hegseth’s hands and finally deliver justice.

“Sign and share this petition to show that the majority of our community stands for inclusion, love, and equality, and that we will not be canceled. Together, we will make Pride happen. ”

The current building 1930 Beach Street is restricted to be inspected for Inhumane practices by Illinois Congressional Leaders. Chicago Sun-Times reports, “U.S. Sens. Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin, both Illinois Democrats, on Friday requested a tour of the Broadview ICE facility that has drawn heated protest for weeks, but they were denied entry,(2025, Armentrout). If ICE occupies the current 5000 square foot building and has DENIED entry for routine inspections, how much more would a 200,000 square ft building occupied by ICE would be even worst to inspect. Armentrout, M., (2025, October, 10).  Illinois Democrats call for investigation of Chicago ICE raids. https://chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/2025/10/10/ice-investigation-chicago-illinois-congressional-democrats-robin-kelly
