This is despicable. At least 11 people have now died in ICE custody in the past 10 months.
I was the first Member of Congress to say we need to #AbolishICE & I still believe we do. Under Trump’s direction, they have completely lost all legitimacy.

This episode makes clear the toxic culture that permeates @CBP. Humiliating migrants for entertainment is sickening & clearly an abuse of power. These CBP agents & supervisors that knowingly permitted this abusive behavior need to be held accountable.

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wishing everyone a wonderful time with family and friends. Today we celebrate our founders and thank those who have fought to protect our unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There is more that unites us than divides us! pic.twitter.com/abXzm5BmsG

Trump has zero idea who Lincoln was or what he stood for — and tomorrow’s ridiculous stunt is all the proof anyone should need to realize what a fraud he is.

I couldn’t agree more: “the display of tanks near the Lincoln Memorial is just a bitter & expensive absurdity compared with the co-option of Lincoln’s temple for the personal aggrandizement of a man who celebrates political violence.”

What a despicable, insensitive thing to say about refugees fleeing violence. He has no humanity, and as I have said from day one, is completely unfit to be president. pic.twitter.com/Vy3lTg5fal

55 years ago this week, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed into law — a major step toward freedom & justice for all Americans.
We cannot grow weary in the fight against injustice & oppression. As #MLK said, we must continue to “remind America of the fierce urgency of now.” pic.twitter.com/7lpvZKN5CG

This is beyond the pale & deeply upsetting. @CBP @DHSOIG @DHSgov we want answers & consequences.
If these agents are openly threatening Members of Congress & laughing when refugees die, how are they treating children & families behind closed doors??? Shame on them! twitter.com/propublica/sta…

Mr Trump — stop using our troops as props for your political rally. Shame on you! July 4th should not be politicized or militarized. We are all Americans. What’s wrong with you?

In the 1950s, Mr. Cousy took a very public stance against racism at a time when many prominent white Americans were complicit or silent.
He is truly an American hero & I join all of Massachusetts in wishing him congratulations!

In 2014 & 2017 I led the Massachusetts Congressional Delegation in a letter to The @WhiteHouse recommending that Mr. Cousy receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Here’s the letter we sent in 2017: pic.twitter.com/ZOqoNRItkj

Great news in honor of a great man! As one of the best point guards to ever play in the @NBA, Mr. Cousy’s true greatness was found off the basketball court: in his humanity.
