ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Fetterman is basically a reactionary now: there is no real effort to explain why Mullin - a buffoon who spent the week insisting we are not at war with Iran - is qualified. Trump nominated Mullin, and that’s good enough for him.

I was forced to watch TV news when I had breakfast in a diner recently and I strongly resonated with the sentiment that being an intelligent person in America today is like being awake during a surgery.

don’t mean to be legally normie but I think reading these court orders about ICE abuses to Kristi Noem’s face, while recording her empty responses in the Congressional record, is worth doing

Lou Holtz was fired as head coach at Arkansas because he kept taping campaign ads for Jesse Helms.

He was too racist for Arkansas. In 1983.

Ok so kudos to whomever put this together and it will bend your fucking mind. Epstein live texting with a Rep while Cohen is being questioned. This is WILD. Shows how much power/influence he has and why it matters. Also, he's putting the screws to Trump in this case, yeah? Very interesting
