These are the types of people the Governor and my Democrat colleagues would prevent from being deported. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Buckle up for this one. NEW: ICE Boston has arrested a Guatemalan illegal alien charged w/ multiple counts of aggravated & forcible child rape in MA after ICE says their detainer request was ignored by the Essex County Superior Court due to sanctuary policy & he was released into the community on bail. ICE found and arrested him in Framingham, MA, and he remains in federal custody. ICE statement: “Jose Fernando-Perez has been charged with some horrific crimes against a minor in our commonwealth,” said ICE Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. “He is exactly the type of alien we are targeting with our ‘worst first’ policy. He posed a significant danger to the children of Massachusetts, and we will not tolerate such a threat to our community. ICE Boston will continue to prioritize the safety of our public by arresting and removing egregious alien offenders from our New England communities.” Full ICE release:

The Assembly Committee on Health, Aging, and Long-Term Care met to hear testimony on AB 12, AB 8, AB 23, and AB 11 today. Thanks to all who braved the snow to come testify on these pieces of legislation.

Wisconsin has a surplus not because spending has lagged — it has risen steadily — but because the government’s take has soared.

UPDATE: I’m told the victim was a US citizen who was found tied up in his own basement with his head bashed in in an apparent home invasion robbery. Today, ICE confirmed my reporting below that the arrested suspect is an illegal alien caught & released at the border in 2022.

HAPPY to support @RepDonovan and good officers in Milwaukee! ⬇️
According to the Milwaukee Police Association, Officer Daering's promotion denial was unanimously reversed. This is a small, but crucial victory for the morale of the rank and file officers in Milwaukee. Thank you to my colleagues who supported our letter to the Milwaukee FPC.

It's National Wear Red Day, so I'm concluding my week the way I started it! I wore red and stood with my colleagues and staff from both sides of the aisle in concert with American Heart Association - Wisconsin to remind you that heart disease remains the top killer in our nation. Take care and learn more at #GoRedForWomen #WearRedDay #HeartMonth

Get on board, @wiaawi!
IT'S OFFICIAL: The NCAA changed its gender eligibility policies to ban all biological males from women's sports shortly after President Donald Trump signed the "No Men in Women's Sports" order.

Thank you for @GreuelLauren's excellent testimony. I believe it greatly clarified why this bill is so necessary.
Parents should be able to see what their kids are being taught in schools. You’d think this simple principle wouldn’t need to be enforced with a law, but many parents have been denied access. AB5 from @RepDittrich and others would ensure that never happens again.

Sweet mother of pearl! If you want to know why our kids' school assessments are such a mess and so needlessly complicated, just listen to DPI at today's hearing!

The continuing debacle at MPS hurts EVERY student and school district in Wisconsin. Only 5% of their black students were proficient in reading in the latest national test scores. This is positively heartbreaking and MUST be turned around. I continue to work with my colleagues to accomplish just that.

This is what happens when adults who hold different points of view have a civil conversation rather than calling each other pejoratives, digging in, and hurling insults. Thank you, @ReformingGovt! We need more of this.

@PaulaYScanlan Paula, I have amplified your story around my state and district. A woman who has suffered assault should NEVER have to share women's spaces with a biological male!
