It's not about what this country can or canโ€™t afford. Itโ€™s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

50+: Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130: Agents also can arrest U.S. citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20: Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

When the Supreme Court recently allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldnโ€™t be concerned because agents will โ€œpromptly let the individual go.โ€

For these Americans, that wasnโ€™t true: https://propub.li/47aawMD

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. Iโ€™m sorry we have to live through this.

pretty weird how there's always billion dollars just lying around whenever ICE needs concentration camps but there's never any money when children need healthcare or a simple school lunch. oh well just one of those things I guess

A U.S. citizen who was arrested for filming an ICE raid at Home Depot is suing the federal government for $1 millionโ€” and I hope he gets every penny.

THISโ€ผ๏ธ When being transported, Garcia heard agents boasting about how many โ€˜bodiesโ€™ they had gotten that day and saw them celebrate with high fives.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now theyโ€™ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

๐Ÿ“Œ A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.

If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

NEW: Crowd now growing at the Capitol where Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are staging a sit-in on the steps.

Is this building into something?
