Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it upβ€”because the cameras weren’t rolling.

What we need is for the active duty Generals to honor their oath to the Constitution. Never before in modern times have we so desperately needed them to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to bear true faith and allegiance to it."

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

🚨 β€œThey put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

"They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'"

Watson said trucks and military-style vans were used to separate parents from their children. Other neighbors said agents destroyed property to get in the building.

"They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down," said witness Darrell Ballard. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."

β€œFuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use β€œreasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

The death of the premature baby born after their mother contracted measles highlights the danger of more and more people refusing vaccines.

An individual is contagious 4 days before the rash appears.

Imagine a child with measles at a daycare full of babies too young to be vaccinated.

Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER In another incident caught on video Friday, federal agents inside a car randomly threw tear gas into a Logan Square street while people β€” including a 2-year-old β€” were outside nearby.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

I know that America is not a Christian nation because if it were, we’d welcome immigrants, there’d be a job of foot washer at the boarder, Citizens United wouldn’t exist, the rich would be chased, the hungry would be fed, the homeless housed. Truth would be spoken to power. The last would be first.

BREAKING: A federal judge says there is a realistic likelihood that the prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was driven by vindictive motives β€” reflected in the public statements of Bondi, Blanche, Noem et al.

He has ordered discovery on the question.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Flag burning is protected speech, and even how the military retires old flags. An executive order can’t invent crimes, meaning this is just more bullshit.

Shooting involving federal agents in Brighton Park under investigation According to the Department of Homeland Security, a woman allegedly "boxed in" federal authorities, who opened fire.

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon.

There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified.

This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.
