This is the truth. Republicans need to stop the lies and negotiate in good faith to get the government open. People are suffering.

White House official inadvertently reveals plans to send elite army unit to Portland Anthony Salisbury displayed chat about deployment of 82nd airborne division on cellphone while in Minnesota

Oh look, another White House Signal scandal.

This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat.

Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

outside the detention/“processing” facility in broadview, illinois:

a crowd of protesters, some of whom showed up before 5 am, is heckling ice agents arriving to work.

a few minutes ago, special response team agents came out to push protesters away from the driveway. pepper balls already flying.
