@ConMijente Sindy was reunited with her baby Gretshell Juliet late last night at the San Francisco airport.

BREAKING: We call on Congress to refuse funding the "smart wall" for border surveillance.

Tech like facial recognition, algorithmic risk assessment, & biometrics should not be used to surveil immigrants.

medium.com/@fightfortheft…

#NoSurveillanceWall
Technologies deployed at the border to target travelers, journalists, and immigrant families inevitably end up in our major cities targeting low income communities, religious minorities, & political activists. This is a slippery slope and we can't be complicit.#NoSurveillanceWall
Tech deployed at the border is used as a testing ground before they use it to target the whole country.

"the border" consists of 100 miles inside the country, that's two-thirds already.

There's s no justifiable reason for increased spending on border security. We're paying $700 a day per child to house them in inhumane facilities. Tell Democrats on the Conference Committee, #Not1Dollar for family separation and detention! Let's cut, not increase funding for DHS.
@RepRoybalAllard @RepBarbaraLee @RepPeteAguilar @RepCuellar @RepDavidEPrice @Alyssa_Milano @IlhanMN @RashidaTlaib Since January 2010, at least 83 people died following an encounter with U.S. border agents.

Now think about it, how can we in good faith give more money to @cbp until they get their act together?
This is the same agency who were responsible for 8 y/old Felipe and 7 y/old Jakelin who both died in their custody over the holidays:

Thank you @AOC, @IlhanMN, @AyannaPressley and @RashidaTlaib for pushing the Democratic party on the right direction on this issue. DHS does not need more money and Trump can't continue to get away with his fear mongering tactics. #DecriminalizeMigration

@AOC @IlhanMN @AyannaPressley @RashidaTlaib "A Republican controlled Congress has already sharply increased DHS spending without clear justification."
@AOC @IlhanMN @AyannaPressley @RashidaTlaib "We have seen rampant spending on detention facilities for young children - reports indicate DHS is paying for for-profit prison companies upwards of $700 a day to house children in inhumane facilities."

A fined example how intricate these webs are -- and how many players are involved. It takes makes me think of @patton6966 call for patience -- pulling the string on one of these threads may unravel another which is not quite ready for disclosure.
Please take the time to read.
As you read, keep in mind, this is just one example of how one shenanigan has multiple players, some of which are involved in other shenanigans.
For example, when discussing the 1MBD scandal, there were some connections to this with former Flakey Flake from AZ. That connection, Rio Tinto, a Rothschild family holding.

So, a little bit more news about the Gilets Jaunes and the people attempting to highjacked what originated as a grassroot, plural movement for better standards of living.
On December 8, a Donbass flag appeared in the streets of Paris.
Weird?
Oh, wait -It's just the beginning.

Incl. an event organised by the former head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation's think tank.
He went to Donbass to be the French voice of Kremlin disinfo.

Please take the time to read: The Five-Year-Old Who Was Detained at the Border and Persuaded to Sign Away Her Rights, by Sarah Stillman - a few thoughts from me to follow... newyorker.com/news/news-desk… via @NewYorker
The first thing to note is that the separation from a child from her grandmother upon arrival to the U.S. is that it appears to have taken place after the president supposedly ordered the forceful separations stopped...
A second thing to note is that the implementation of these separation policies requires the joint cooperation of both DHS & HHS - Secretaries Nielsen and Azar at the top, and the many deputies who work under their chain of command...

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Please make the time to read this, and then call your Senators.
A key paragraph.
Also, I know there have been a significant number of questions regarding why this letter wasn't made available. From her lawyer.

Senator @LindseyGrahamSC wore a purple tie today. While using polite old boy southern language to perform anesthesia-free new asshole surgery on a bunch of partisan traitortwats.
I know he’s seemed offsides of late-Fear not. Graham is FULLY onboard w COTUS
Let’s parse his words, shall we?
First Impression: Grassley: red sweater vest. DiFi blue power suit.
Graham: PURPLE TIE.
Very #RefusePolarization. Much symbolism.
