BIG NEWS: ACLU-PA has filed a lawsuit against the Bucks County Sheriff for unlawfully collaborating with ICE through the 287(g) agreement β€” and we’re proud to stand as a litigant in this case.

We’re standing up for justice β€” and we’re not backing down.

We stand in strong opposition to the 287(g) agreement β€” a policy that endangers immigrant communities & fuels racial profiling. It turns local law enforcement into an extension of ICE, eroding trust and safety. Let’s protect our neighbors, not criminalize them. #Stop287g #SolidarityNotSurveillance

FBI agents express shock and dismay over naming of right-wing podcaster to No. 2 post Dan Bongino β€” who once called the FBI β€œirredeemably corrupt”— suggested on his podcast Monday that he was prepared to step out of his role as a MAGA warrior.

β€œI didn’t sleep and I want to pack my desk today,” one said.

"Does it matter that he supported the Oathkeepers?" a retired agent said.

"We now have two conspiracy theorists and election deniers running our premier law enforcement and intelligence agency," a former official said.

Karen Downer has been fighting racism locally since she was a child in pre-civil rights Bucks County-back when the local Klan was burning crosses in Linconia where she grew up. She recently stepped down as @naacpbucks.bsky.social President & spoke with us on The Signal.
