Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The mysterious disappearance of hundreds of immigrants detained at Alligator Alcatraz Lawyers and family members report that they have been unable to locate the inmates at the infamous Florida prison after they disappeared from the ICE database

ICE refuses to promptly share locations of those previously detained at Alligator Alcatraz with legal counsel or loved ones.

This isn’t just cruel — it undermines their constitutional right to due process.

Cantwell, Northwest business owners denounce import taxes as Supreme Court prepares to consider Trump's tariff authority WASHINGTON – Sen. Maria Cantwell and small business owners from the Northwest spoke in front of the Supreme Court on Thursday to highlight how President Donald Trump’s signature trade policy has hurt ...

Small businesses deserve stability and certainty, and I want to fight every day until they get it. The Supreme Court must end these tariffs. The President must follow the law. Small businesses must be repaid for the illegal tariffs.

"I wish you would speak more clearly. Give it to me again."

He obviously knew what he was saying but wanted to humiliate her.

Good morning! I’m at the Broadview Detention Facility in Chicago, Illinois. Several dozen protesters are here protesting against the ramp up in federal deportation raids in the Chicago area. Things are testy already, several attempted arrests from DHS.

Sheinbaum: I didn’t say this in the meeting, Prime Minister Carney, but I’m saying it right now. We celebrate the constant growth of Canadian tourism in Mexico. We truly celebrate it because we have an increasingly growing number of families and visitors choosing Mexico as their tourist destination.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

General Mark Milley is a Great American

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.

This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

Trump to a female reporter who tries to ask him about his plans for Memphis: "Quiet. You're really obnoxious ... I'm not gonna talk to you until I call on you."

ICE continues to assault us.

We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

I stand with PBS.

I stand with NPR.

I stand with Stephen Colbert.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

I stand with the First Amendment.

PERIOD.*

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Hillary Clinton reacts to Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension | CNN Politics CNN’s Fareed Zakaria asks former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about Jimmy Kimmel’s show being pulled from ABC’s air. Watch Fareed Zakaria GPS on Sunday at 10aET/PT.

In America, we defend free speech in terrible times.

We defend free speech even when it’s offensive.

We defend free speech.

Alex Acosta KNEW what Epstein did to those girls, that or he chose to be willfully ignorant. The Oversight Committee found his testimony completely dishonest. He lost all credibility, refused to answer questions with any clarity, and if I had to take a wild guess, he is guilty of perjury.

Video shows Salvadoran man being detained by ICE in Malden The wife of a Salvadoran man says he was violently taken into custody by immigration officials on his way to work in Malden, Massachusetts, on Wednesday morning.

ICE is targeting community members with no criminal record. Agents are sitting outside of churches and schools. Driving unmarked vans and breaking car windows.

These violent ICE arrests don't make us safer — they intentionally stoke fear and tear communities apart.

Pete Buttigieg WARNS America:

“They didn't stop at the law firms. They didn't stop at the Universities. They didn't even stop at the comedians. They are NOT going to stop until they have TOTAL POWER!."

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
