Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

US teen Mohammed Ibrahim released from Israeli prison after nine months Advocates say the 16-year-old's health had been in decline since his arrest in February for allegedly throwing rocks.

The same Senator who help Kilmar Abrego Garcia get released for CECOT in El Salvador helped get Palestinian-American teen, Mohammed Ibrahim, get released from a brutal Israeli prison after being wrongly imprisoned.

Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov !!! Sen Van Hollen is a man of words AND actions!

⭕️ Sen. Chris Van Hollen credited for key role in release of U.S. teen from Israeli detention

Palestinian-American child Mohammed Ibrahim, 16, was freed today after nine months of Israeli imprisonment without charge. Journalist Jasper Nathaniel, who has been a major advocate for and reported extensively on the teen’s release, says Sen. Chris Van Hollen and his staff β€œfought hard for this, including behind the scenes.”

Van Hollen has also applied sustained pressure across a series of human-rights   cases and foreign-policy issues in the past year:

β–ͺ️ He flew to El Salvador in mid-April 2025 after Trump’s DHS illegally deported Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia, intervening directly to gain access and press for his lawful return. Garcia was subsequently brought back to the United States.

β–ͺ️ He has co-led legislation to block U.S. arms sales to the UAE over its support for Sudan’s genocidal Rapid Support Forces.

β–ͺ️ He publicly pressed for oversight of Trump’s UAE-linked crypto dealings in May 2025, warning of foreign-influence risks and conflicts of interest.

β–ͺ️ He was also among the only senators sharply critical of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation scheme (that led to mass killings of Palestinians) and the organization’s lack of transparency β€” part of the sustained scrutiny the organization faced before its recent shutdown.

β–ͺ️ During a summer delegation trip to Israel, the West Bank, Jordan and Egypt, Van Hollen urged action to curb settler violence, expand humanitarian access to Gaza, and enforce U.S. human-rights conditions tied to security assistance to Israel.

16-year-old American Mohammed Ibrahim has been released after over 9 months in an Israeli prison without trial.

I was relieved to hear from his family today and to know that he’s safe and where he belongs β€” with his family.

Let me help the corporate media with some questions for Trump regime: Did the shooter have any contact with the Trump regime? When is the last time CIA spoke to shooter? When is last time CIA paid shooter? And the big one: RELEASE his entire asylum application approved by Trump regime in April!

The Witkoff-Ushakov call was leaked. It was leaked by someone in the intelligence community. Wherever you are, I salute you. For that to happen, there must be grave, deep concern for what is happening. There is a Russian operation controlling our foreign policy.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone β€” period.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent β€” but is it working?

Viola Fletcher, Oldest Survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Dies at 111

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

More Evidence Submitted to Dismiss the Charges Against Kilmar Abrego Friday night, we learned that the DOJ lied about the door being closed to Costa Rica. Mr. Abrego's lawyers feel that's enough to immediately dismiss on vindictive and selective prosecution grounds.

NEW: Mr. Abrego's lawyers believe that the lies DOJ told in the civil case warrant immediate dismissal in his criminal case. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/more-evide...

Seriously, @RepJenKiggans (R-VA02) and @RobWittman (R-VA01), what are you even doing there? You'd do a LOT more for your country if you just resigned, immediately, vs. staying in the US House and being worse than worthless. bluevirginia.us/2025/11/mond... h/t @JakeSherman

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

He’s scrambling.

Zohran Mamdani walked into the Oval Office with strength, without betraying his own values or beliefs, and had trump eating out of his hand, defending and praising him, even saying it's OK to call him a fascist.

Gave up nothing.
Gained respect.
