Sherrilyn Ifill & ACLU lawyer Cecillia Wang hug outside the Supreme Court after Wang argued the case against Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship

3 kids hold red signs saying “Protect Birthright citizenship” and the 14th Amendment speaks for itself.” A crowd stands behind them in front of the Supreme Court.

We couldn’t have hoped for a better advocate than @aclu.org National Director Cecillia Wang today in the SCOTUS, arguing against Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship. If there’s any fairness left, this wil be a big win for democracy, citizenship, & the integrity of the 14th Amendment.

Federal agents shoot person in Minnesota, governor says Minneapolis officials said they are investigating.

“Minnesota has had it. This is sickening,” [Gov. Walz] said in a post on X. “The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.”

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.
