White words on a black background read:

50+ 
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. 

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isnโ€™t.

This is what I found.

An interesting point raised elsewhere: these boats that the United States is striking don't appear to have the fuel capacity/storage capacity to even reach American shores.

The Earth from space at the Autumnal Equinox. The shadow line goes exactly from pole to pole. This only happens twice a year (also at the Vernal Equinox in March)

Calling it now: almost all the coming crackdown on progressive groups will be focused on those that provide funding, resources, research, knowledge, or assistance of other kinds to Democratic candidates, voters, and institutions focused on winning the midterm elections.

An authoritarian crackdown.

Spencer Kuvin, Epstein's victims' lawyer, says the FBI interviewed 40+ girls, some just 14, and prepared a 54-count indictment. Then came the secret plea deal that let Epstein walk. Those interviews are in the files. Kuvin says Alan Dershowitz scoured the girls' MySpace pages to smear them as liars.

Soybeans are collapsing because China isnโ€™t buying them. The farm economy is in deep trouble. Because of our needless trade war that we are clearly losing.

Newsmax has settled with Dominion and will pay them 67 million dollars for defaming them over claims their voting machines were switching votes. Lying losers.
