House Democrats grilled the heads of ICE, CBP and USCIS at a hearing Tuesday over their role in the Trump administration’s brutal campaign to carry out mass deportations. “These three directors are responsible for what we are seeing around the country, whether it’s in detention, whether it’s in the streets or even in the courts,” says Illinois Congressmember Delia Ramirez, who is calling for her fellow Democrats to suspend funding for the Department of Homeland Security unless Republicans agree to their demands to rein in federal immigration agents. We play excerpts from Ramirez and other representatives’ remarks about the killings of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, the deaths of immigrants in ICE custody and the fear and terror experienced by civilians confronted daily by masked federal agents. “This is more than authoritarianism. This is a de facto dictatorship,” says Texas Congressmember Al Green, who also spoke at the hearing.

The recent threats by the government spokesperson to a journalist, stating that they would face the consequences of the Law for a clarifying question, cause concern. Is this the Greece of Europe?

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." These words attributed to Voltaire succinctly encapsulate the catalytic role of the Enlightenment in the evolution of modern democracies. Voltaire (1694-1778) fought centuries ago for freedom of speech. And today, in the country that gave birth to Democracy, a government spokesperson threatens a journalist that they will face the consequences of the Law for a clarifying question posed in relation to the tragic shipwreck off Chios, which resulted in the loss of 15 lives. Why?
