It was not a Million MAGA on the streets of DC today, but it would be catastrophic to not take what happened today seriously. This is a beginning, not the end. We're witnessing the initial coalescing of a wide range of far-right forces into mass opposition.

A burning cross is not a prank. It is not a misunderstanding. It is one of the most recognizable symbols of racial terror in American history. For generations, burning crosses were used to intimidate, threaten, and instill fear in Black communities. Seeing one set ablaze in a public park in 2026 is disturbing and unacceptable. Hate cannot be normalized, excused, or ignored. Those responsible must be identified and held accountable.

Neither ICE nor HHS went through normal channels to request information.
Amica Center for Justice: ICE's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and US Health and Human Services (HHS) tried to access offices of DC nonprofits that provide legal services to immigrant children in what the groups are calling "intimidation tactics." amicacenter.org/press-releas…
