A new edition of my book, DEAR AMERICA, has been released, with an updated introduction and an epilogue I wrote earlier this year that focuses on two things: the change in my own immigration status; and the need to fight the mis and disinformation that defines so much of the

We are not “coming out.” We are letting you in. #NationalComingOutDay

New: In an interview days before his Dreamforce conference comes to town, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he would support Donald Trump sending National Guard troops to San Francisco. And he said Trump is doing “a great job.”

ICE isn’t just doing immigration enforcement, it is now firmly in the content creation business. @Carrasquillo on the ramped up, increasingly belligerent, propaganda effort around deportations. https://t.co/XZDJoQrltz

We documented ~50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself. https://t.co/PpVBCMOFal
