Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm' Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."

ICE arrested Chicago alderperson-Jessie Fuentes inside a hospital emergency room—simply for asking to see a warrant for a man they detained.
