There is ample evidence that Trump and Vance made false claims about Springfield’s Haitian community which sparked widespread threats of violence and endangered the city’s residents. Prosecutor Driscoll has a responsibility to pursue charges against them as he would if any other person were to inflict open, notorious, and serious crimes on the people and government in Springfield.

BREAKING: This week it was revealed that Texas Troopers severely violated the human rights of migrants seeking safety in the U.S. by denying them drinking water & literally pushing them back into the Rio Grande. This inhumane treatment was ordered by TX. Governor Abbot as a continuation of his administration’s anti-immigrant project Operation Lonestar by working closely with ICE & CBP to detain, abuse, and deport immigrants. In addition to his stunts of bussing of migrants out to other states, his administration has now installed razor wire barriers in the water of the Rio Grande that injure and make crossing much more dangerous. People including children, pregnant women, and babies have suffered serious injury & death as a result of these cruel tactics employed by Gov. Abbot’s administration. President Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas must act now to stop these human rights violations and provide relief to those who have suffered under TX Gov. Abbot’s abuse! They must investigate this and put an end to this abuse NOW! ADD YOUR NAME to demand President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas investigate and correct the treatment of migrants at our borders and offer relief to those who have suffered from Governor Abbott's actions!

The plight of immigrant visa applicants continues as the government's focus on processing tourist visas and other non-immigrant visas takes precedence over family reunification. This shift in priorities contradicts the core principles of American immigration policies, which emphasize family unity and the importance of keeping families together. As a result, many deserving individuals and families find themselves caught in a frustrating bureaucratic loop, experiencing prolonged separation from their loved ones. The consequences of this issue extend beyond emotional distress, impacting various aspects of their lives. Financial strain, strained relationships, and disrupted educational opportunities are just a few of the numerous challenges immigrant families face. Moreover, this approach undermines the essence of diversity and inclusion that the United States has long celebrated, as it erects unnecessary barriers for those seeking to contribute to society and establish a stable life within the country.

As a result of the Trump administration, our country has become more divided and divisive; we have lost integrity around the world; the right to vote has been restricted; free and fair elections are being challenged without evidence and our institutions are being infiltrated by those who fabricate conspiracy theories. These are only a few risks before us and they cannot be condoned if we want to save our Democracy. Failure to prosecute, convict and impose the strictest sentence under the law will compromise our democracy, promote increased corruption in our politics and send a clear message that we no longer have separate branches of government. As recently stated by Senator Cheney, "We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation."

Gov. Kristi Noem used private funds to send the South Dakota National Guard to the border. That makes them military for hire: mercenaries. Further, welcoming people fleeing persecution at the point of a gun isn't the America I want to live in. Joe Biden is the commander-in-chief of every state's National Guard. His authority supersedes any governors'. Biden can nationalize the South Dakota National Guard, bring them back from their border deployment, and end the mercenary precedent set by Gov. Noem. In 1954, Eisenhower nationalized the Arkansas National Guard during the "Little Rock Nine" Crisis. In 1963, JFK nationalized the Alabama National Guard during the "standoff at the school door" crisis. Biden can do the same with your support.

The Dream Act introduced in 2018 expired at the end of the 116th Congress, but the problems facing dreamers still need the attention of Congress. Dreamers still need protection and a path to citizenship in the only country they have ever known. DACA has been helpful, but Trump's attempts to shut it down showed us the danger of leaving the fate of the dreamers subject to the whim of any future president.

This is important because no asylum seeker should be deprived of their liberty without due process of law. Currently, asylum seekers who come to our border and present themselves at a Port of Entry are not eligible for a bond hearing. There is therefore no judicial review, or checks-and-balances, to what ICE decides. This goes against our country's fundamental notions of justice and democracy.

There can be no true justice in America until there is actions coupled with the apologies for the North America slave trade.

We should not have a defeated President naming a Justice for life in the last few months of his term. McConnell blocked Obama’s Garland appointment in Obama’s last YEAR.

It affects all aspects of our lives. Women's rights concerning their own bodies, and many other key issues.

In February of 2016 you said “ The American people should have a voice in the selection of their new Supreme Court Justice.” We believe you should stuck to the same standard now

The regulation change announced by ICE on July 6 is unnecessary, unfair, and dangerous for the students affected by it. It bars students from re-entering the US, or threatens with deportation those who already are here, if they are attending a university that is only offering online courses due to COVID-19. This restriction has multiple unacceptable aspects: 1. It is unnecessary. ICE's role is to protect the United States against people who wish to enter illegally or with malicious intent. Students with a valid student visa do NOT meet this definition. 2. It is impractical. As the impact of coronavirus changes rapidly in various states and counties, universities are likely to rapidly change their teaching mode, starting or stopping in-person teaching from time to time. The regulation would force students to stay away when the courses are all online, allow them to come back when the courses are in-person or hybrid, send them away again if there is a reversal, etc. 3. It is costly. Many of the affected foreign students do not have the financial means to pay for extra airplane tickets home during the times when the regulation would ban them from the U.S. 4. It is dangerous. Putting those students on long international flights during the pandemic is dangerous to their health. It could arguably cause the death of several of them. 5. It is unfair. Some of these students would be back home in hostile conditions, or in a place where Internet is non-existent or of poor quality, or in family lodgings that are inconvenient for distance learning. Therefore they would not be in a position to continue their studies. The U.S. has granted these students visas to study in this country. This contributes to the reputation of this country as the world leader in higher education and research. The regulation changed announced by ICE on July 6 defeats this purpose. It is onerous, unfair, impractical, and unnecessary. It couldn't be better written if the motivation was actually xenophobia rather than the purported goal of protecting the U.S., which it does not achieve. This regulation change must be rescinded.
