The American people and members of Congress are standing up stronger against the tactics that the Trump administration is forcing ICE to use in immigration raids.
On Saturday, ICE detained seven workers at the Optima Car Wash in Newington, CT. No local officials were notified, and no details have been made available about who these men and women are.”
Rep. Larson responded, “ This is not Germany. That's the SS in the Gestapo. This is the United States of America. Unmask yourselves.”

This triggered the sensitive Trump White House, which posted a clip of Larson and described him as sick and unhinged.
Rep. Larson responded to the White House attack by saying, “Sick? You know what’s sick, [Mr. President] — stormtroopers in Newington. Children terrified. Families destroyed. You turned American neighborhoods into hunting grounds. I stand up for the people I’m sworn to serve. Maybe the President should too.”
Larson is a co-sponsor of the No Secret Police Act, which would require ICE to identify themselves and bar them from wearing masks.
House Democrats have been much more aggressive in the fight back against Trump than many Democrats in the Senate. Rep. Larson’s fight back and comments bothered the Trump White House, because they don’t want to be compared to Nazis.
The administration knows that their immigration policy is unpopular, and they have no rebuttal to those who stand up against them except to personally attack them for not wanting to see people who have committed no crime rounded up by masked, unidentified individuals.
People need to fight back the way Rep. Larson did. Don’t pull any punches, be loud, and denounce what you are seeing.
Trump’s presidency is failing. The American people can push it over the edge by being unyielding in their rejection.

If they don't want to be called "Nazi's" they need to stop acting like them! Why isn't every Democratic elected official calling them out in the same way?
Damn Right, CT. Rep. John Larson, THIS IS AMERICA IN 2025 NOT NAZI GERMANY IN THE 1930’s. Our Nation is A GOVERNMENT OF LAWS ENSHRINED IN THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND BILL OF RIGHTS PASSED BY OUR FOUNDERS ALMOST 250 YEARS AGO. OUR ANCESTORS DIED FOR THESE TWO DOCUMENTS THROUGH THE WARS THEY FOUGHT AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET AN “ORANGE SKINNED FASCIST “ AND HIS LACKEYS TAKE THEM AWAY !
