Fact check: To attack Harris, Trump falsely describes new stats on immigrants and homicide | CNN Politics

Former President Donald Trump is wildly distorting new statistics on immigration and crime to attack Vice President Kamala Harris.

Facts First: Trump’s claims are false in two big ways. First, the statistics he was referring to are not specifically about people who entered the country during the Biden-Harris administration. Rather, those statistics are about noncitizens who entered the country under any administration, including Trump’s; were convicted of a crime at some point, usually in the US after their arrival; and are now living in the US while being listed on Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s “non-detained docket” — where some have been listed for years, including while Trump was president, because their country of citizenship won’t let the US deport them back there. Second, that ICE “non-detained” list includes people who are still serving jail and prison sentences for their crimes; they are on the list because they are not being held in immigration detention in particular.

indigenous peoples' day: don't just acknowledge land

it's indigenous peoples' day in many places around the united states, including my hometown of seattle! if you live in the u.s., please make this a day where you don't just symbolically acknowledge indigenous people, but support them materially with reparations and other forms of concrete support.

for seattleites and or others nearby who live on the lands of the duwamish tribe, past and present (or anyone else who wants to support the duwamish):

PAY RENT (aka reparations) to the duwamish tribe

SIGN THE PETITION for federal recognition of the tribe and call on your elected officials to support

ENDORSE the petition for federal recognition if you can speak on behalf of an organization, allied tribe, or elected official

VISIT the duwamish longhouse and cultural center in person if you are local (they have events as well)

SHOP at the longhouse or their online store

ACKNOWLEDGE THE LAND but make sure to include links to the real rent website and/or actions people can take so that your land acknowledgment isn't empty

EDUCATE YOURSELF about the tribe's past and present, their fight for federal recognition and lawsuit, their environmental justice work, and more

SPREAD THE WORD - you can use artwork and flyers they've developed for advocacy purposes

if you live somewhere else, find out whose land you live on, and then look into how you can take similar actions to support indigenous people and tribes in your area.

don't let you acknowledgment of indigenous peoples' day be passive. do what you can to uplift the self-determination of indigenous peoples like the duwamish tribe!
