CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, thatโ€™s a felony.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

CBS: โ€œBroadview (IL) Police Chief Thomas Mills said that ICE agents at the detention facility have called 911 to report several incidents that turned out to be false. Mills said ICE agents are draining the resources of his department and the community by making false 911 calls.โ€

๐Ÿšจ ICE said Marimar Martinez โ€œrammed their vehicles.โ€

Bodycam footage says otherwise.

It shows an ICE agent ram his own vehicle into hers, sneer โ€œDo something, bitch,โ€ and then shoot her.

We can never believe anything ICE accuses anyone of.

Union sues Education Department over manipulation of workers' email messages NBC News previously reported that department employees found their nonpartisan out-of-office messages were automatically changed to ones criticizing Democrats for the shutdown.

The Trump-Vance admin is using the civil service to push a political agenda โ€“ now going as far as to manipulate emails, in blatant violation of the First Amendment.

We are urging the court to act immediately to stop this flagrant unlawfulness.

Sure, the law says that furloughed workers have to be compensated for their pay.
Apparently, Trump views that law as unenforceable.
If he refuses to pay them, he could spend the money on more gold decor.

I guess I shouldn't be *surprised* but it is making my head spin that the feds have shot two people, with live rounds, killing one of them, in Chicagoland in recent weeks, and in both cases they were very clearly found to be lying about what happened, and essentially nothing is happening about it.
