ICE crackdown imperils Afghans who aided U.S. war effort, lawyers say Advocates fear President Donald Trumpโ€™s ambitious deportation plan jeopardizes Afghan interpreters and other allies who worked for U.S. troops during the war.

Two former Afghan interpreters for U.S. forces face deportation despite following immigration processes, according to attorneys for the men.

ICE has detained multiple U.S. citizens under new rules.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation Iโ€™ve seen. It โ€˜s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Connecticut AG William Tong just declared war on Trumpโ€™s $6.8B education cutsโ€”and every governor should follow his lead. This isnโ€™t a budget tweak. Itโ€™s an attack on kids, teachers, and families. We need to fight like our schoolsโ€”and our democracyโ€”depend on it. #ClassroomsNotCuts

And if Newsom has to take it to voters in a Special election soon, he can add secession to the question! Avoid the coming US default crisis and get ahead of it. We need to get out of this failing Union. Calexit.

Dems are tired of Republicans playing dirty while we worry about rules.

One way to fight fire w/fire: redraw CAโ€™s congressional maps to send more Dems to DC.

Personally, Iโ€™d rather see a special electionโ€” let voters decide.

Largely ignored in a small market, this week's federal indictment of 9 anti-ICE protesters in Washington state, including a former council president, shows how far the Trump regime will go to crush dissent

Meanwhile, multiple men have been arrested for impersonating ICE agents and raping women. Stephen Miller has nothing to say about that. Because he and his boss (a rapist himself) only care about sexual assault when it allows them to demonize immigrants.

An Irish tourist ended up in a U.S. federal prison leasing beds to ICE.

He says it was worse than immigration detention. Filthy mattresses. Bloodstained clothes. One roll of toilet paper a week. Rotten food with bones in it.

This is how America treats people. Less than human.

Rightly or wrongly, California is the symbolic heart of the U.S. #Resistance.

It's why we're the 1st state they deployed NG and Marines. They're now detaining traveling American citizens who live here.

It's designed to break our spirit. And thus, that of opposition.
