They were there to demand the release of college student Ximena Arias-Cristóbal from ICE detention, who was “mistakenly” arrested in Dalton, Georgia. Police alleged she made a wrong turn—problem is, they pulled over the wrong vehicle. The city dropped the charges, but they had already turned Ximena over to ICE. Her family will continue to join protests outside of Greene’s office until Ximena is released. There’s a bond hearing on Tuesday, and we’ll be watching closely. In a surprising 7-2 decision, The Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump regime from deporting a group of Venezuelan immigrants using the Alien Enemies Act. The court ruled that the Trump regime failed to provide due process, sending the case back to the appeals court for further review of due process requirements. Fmr. US Ambassador Bridget Brink penned a scathing op-ed titled: “I was U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. I resigned because of Trump's foreign policy.” Brink left her role in early April, after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky slammed a weak US embassy response to a brutal Russian attack. Brink wrote: “The policy since the beginning of the Trump administration has been to put pressure on the victim, Ukraine, rather than on the aggressor, Russia … Peace at any price is not peace at all—it is appeasement.” Yes, it is. Trump suffered a big, beautiful loss on his bloated budget bill, with 5 Republicans joining all Democrats to block it from advancing out of committee. They’re planning on meeting again no later than Monday. This gives them time to cook up some backroom deals to try and push this garbage through. What an abomination. As of now, Republicans don’t have the votes to pass the legislation. So we're ramping up our public pressure against the bill. Let’s keep making calls, sending letters, and doing everything we can to make our voices heard. Ranking Member of the House Budget Cmte., Dem Rep. Brendan Boyle summed it up perfectly: “It is the biggest tax cut for billionaires in American history, paid for by throwing 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare coverage … Even conservative GOP Sen. Josh Hawley called it ‘morally wrong.’ I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Josh Hawley is right.” And Dem Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hit the nail on the head: “Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who ‘deserve’ it ... But that's not what's happening. Why? Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.” Trump and his Republican Party are doing everything they can to steal our healthcare, and to harm our country in every way possible.
