End her inhumane detention and bring her home!"

- Austin American Statesman editorial board on the latest ICE shooting:
"ICE agents are empowered to remove people who are not in the country legally. That is not a license to shoot them."
...
"Federal agents who enforce the law are not above it. They cannot shoot a person and then refuse to provide basic information about what happened. ICE must provide full transparency about this incident, starting with preserving and promptly releasing any video and radio communications to the fullest extent allowed under law.
A full, independent investigation — alarmingly absent in other ICE-related shootings — is essential here. The Texas Rangers must have a role. So must the Austin Police Department’s Special Investigations Unit, which examines officer-involved shootings and ultimately answers to the residents of this city."
(Rachel shares the Austin American-Statesman)
- The Crypto Industry Aims to Crush One of Democrats’ Top Senate Candidates — Angry after the defeat of a major crypto bill last week, the industry is planning to spend $30 million against Sherrod Brown in Ohio.
