Local and State Police Can Investigate Federal Agents, But Rarely Do It doesn’t happen often, but local law enforcement can arrest and charge federal agents. Legal experts say there’s a moral obligation to at least try to hold federal immigration officers accountable w...

β€œUnfortunately, because Congress is not taking any steps to rein ICE officers in, there really is no option other than states protecting their constituents’ rights," said Joanna Schwartz, a law professor at UCLA.

Meanwhile, why would the ATTORNEY GENERAL complain about a hearing where Democrats did not ask her about the DOW? (Do any of them know their job responsibilities?)

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactionsβ€”not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

James Comer spent every day for 2 years and millions of US taxpayer dollars trying to link Joe Biden to Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014, but has zero interest in UAE putting $500 million into Trump’s crypto company then getting advanced AI chips from the US.

Present this as a hypothetical to your police dept.
"What they gonna do if they come for you!?"
Are they gonna respond to unconstitutional behavior in your community?

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the β€œgorgeous mosaic” we call home.

Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

Proportional representation, explained With proportional representation, parties don't win before elections even begin. And they can't manipulate the system to their advantage.

Washington Post - It is not responsible journalism to pretend this delegation is a "U.S. delegation." Representing the President and representing the United States are not necessarily one and the same.

"special envoys" is an official sounding name for people who represent his business interests, NOT the USA's nation-state interests and responsibilities. They are NOT state department DIPLOMATS.

16-year-old American Mohammed Ibrahim has been released after over 9 months in an Israeli prison without trial.

I was relieved to hear from his family today and to know that he’s safe and where he belongs β€” with his family.

Trump said gangs invaded this city. Voters booted the officials who agreed. Liberals who won in Aurora, Colorado, say voters were focused on affordability, trash and other local issues.

Aurora, Colorado, saw a political shift as progressive candidates won city council seats, ousting conservative incumbents who focused on anti-immigrant rhetoric.

The election results reflect a broader national trend of Democratic gains.
