How ICE defies judges’ orders to release detainees, step by step A POLITICO review of hundreds of cases brought by ICE detainees shows a pattern of noncompliance that has frustrated judges across the country.

Detain, delay, defy.

A POLITICO review of hundreds of detention cases shows a pattern: ICE slow-walks or outright defies judges’ orders to release people.

A step-by-step look into how the Trump administration’s noncompliance plays outπŸ‘‡

Half a billion dollars to build concentration camps seems like it should be a MAJOR headline.

Reminder that this is a *friendly* question from a GOP Senator β€” and Lutnick still fumbles it all!

I will never get over how the Trump admin is almost universally the least curious people you could appoint to public life.

A Foreign Policy Worse Than Regime Change The world is threatened by the president’s self-absorption and incoherence.

Donald Trump’s incoherent foreign policy has made the bygone days of β€œregime change” look restrained and strategic by comparison, John Bolton argues:

ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, monthslong expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

ICE's Masks Are All a Lie Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America β€” and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.

And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

The masks are justified by a lie. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

SWALWELL: How many ICE agents have been fired for their conduct under their leadership?

An act is only a crime if the government decides to prosecute it.

Lying to Congress is no longer a crime.

Kidnapping people without a warrant or even identifying oneself is no longer a crime.

Killing Americans who are exercising their 1st and 2nd Amendment rights is not a crime when ICE does it.

This is from last week, but worth noting because district judges outright saying they don't believe the government will compy with court orders is not something you should ever have to see.

Dozens of Kids Entered Foster Care After Immigration Agents Detained Their Parents States are taking custody of kids separated from their parents in Trump's push for mass deportations. No one knows exactly how many.

At least 32 children of immigrants entered foster care over the past year after their parents were detained or deported, officials in seven states told NOTUS.

That includes four toddlers ages 1 to 3 in Vermont, all of whom spent at least three months in custody...

Trump cabinet member ensnared in Epstein scandal Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said his relationship with Epstein was "absolutely done" after a single meeting in 2005. The Epstein files tell a much different story.

1. Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has been caught brazenly lying about his relationship with Epstein.

In October, Lutnick claimed his relationship with Epstein was "absolutely done" after a single meeting in 2005.

That is absolutely false.

Numbers are down across the board. All the key metrics - earnings, spending, job growth etc.

You’re seeing companies take preemptive measures e.g. Amazon layoffs

AI hype cannot prop up the markets forever.

When that bubble pops, the markets will have no choice but to confront reality.
