Local Electeds must step up, and engage. We cannot sit ideally by and let things happen in our community. Today, I put my and my families security on the line. What are YOU willing to sacrifice for democracy in America? 🇺🇸 🇲🇽
I identified myself and my position, and asked what was going on. I confirmed they are looking to place a 7,500 bed facility in this or a similar building in the area from the agents.
As I was observing, from my truck at a taxpayer subsidized facility; I was swarmed by ice agents. They attempted to threaten to have me arrested for trespassing if I didn’t leave; however they blocked me in both the front and rear of my truck. I refused to get out until a supervisor came over.
Folks, I shared the below video in nearly the moments it happened:
I was informed that ICE/DHS was touring a potential “mega detention facility” in south #KansasCity and decided to stop by.
Coconino County Treasurer Sarah Benatar is making history by running for second vice president of NACo, aiming to amplify the voices of rural counties in national discussions.

I was told an estimate of 2k people spread up and down metcalf today from 80th to at least 103rd by organizers. The pride many folks shared with me, was a calling that they were called to stand up against this authoritarian administration and lawless gestapo agency.
Honored to stand with them!
#KansasCity if this private facility opens then WE will see more ICE activity in town. Without these available beds, there’s limited engagement simply due to space!
We can not let this facility open!
This was a fun crowd and I can’t wait to be back on campus!

Despite receiving thousands upon thousands of messages from constituents urging them to reject Kash Patel’s nomination as FBI director, senators beholden to Trump just confirmed Patel, with bipartisan opposition.
🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.
REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Share these and not rumors please!
SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Don’t give them an inch. Nothing.
Oppose the Trump agenda.
Haha, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the County and truly enjoy engaging with my peers across the country to bring in new ideas to @JacksonCountyMO Beyond needing better leadership at the County I am comfortable here for a bit, but who knows what the future holds. ;)
Truly an honor to visit the White House and get to catch up with President Biden. We talked about the #KansasCity Chiefs and the future of our country. I am forever grateful for his leadership and for the many invitations from he and Dr. Biden to America’s home.

I will not compromise the community’s needs for new offices executive and assessment office suites. The community is still recovering from the pandemic & they deserved these funds years ago.
I do believe at least one of my colleagues will see there is a path other than to run the clock out.
“Boulos is a friend of Suleiman Frangieh, a Christian ally of Hezbollah and its candidate for Lebanon’s presidency”
Imagine if Biden had appointed as MidEast adviser a guy with connections to Hezbollah: the GOP and Fox would have lost their minds!
A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.
