Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

WATCH LIVE: Democratic lawmakers hold forum with whistleblower on ICE constitutional violations YouTube video by PBS NewsHour

An ICE whistleblower is testifying right now at a congressional forum. His claims are that the agency is "Lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits.

Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.

OOF: MAGA Senator’s Tweet Went So Wrong So Fast That He Had To Delete It Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) pulled the message after it didn't land the way he had hoped.

I’m sorry please correct me if I’m insane and wrong…

but is this newsom saying he “fell prey” to not being “culturally normal” because he was supportive of same sex marriage?

love when democrats talk about kitchen table issues as if trans people and immigrants don’t have kitchen tables 🙃

I Asked My 'Libertarian' Friend A Question About Trump. His Response Told Me Everything I Needed To Know. "Zach was still sending me occasional texts like nothing had changed. Ignoring him wasn’t enough for me anymore."

"There’s enough information available to all of us now that ignorance is no longer a valid defense. If you can watch what’s happening... and still support the people responsible for all of it, that’s endorsement."

Scoop: DNC officials working on secret report found Gaza stance cost Harris votes The DNC's research on what went wrong in 2024 has been under lock and key since party leaders decided to hide it from the public.

Top Democratic officials who worked on the party's secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support bc of the Biden administration's instance on backing the genocide in Gaza, Axios has learned.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care.

Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting.

He never returned to her that day.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.
