Wonder why that is.

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Warning: video is hard to watch

TAPPER: They're asking for voter roll information after the death of Alex Pretti. What was it like to see that letter?

SIMON: It was really deeply disturbing. Literally hours after the second killing of a citizen in Minneapolis by ICE agents, there's this ransom note

At the very least, Congress must disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, remove agentsโ€™ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits, and slash its funding. The Senate has the chance to rein in ICE this week.

Keep calling: (202) 224-3121

Christopher Steele warned us in his book, Unredacted, before the election that โ€œIt is more important than ever that Western intelligence continues fully to investigate what influence our greatest adversaryโ€”Vladimir Putinโ€™s Russiaโ€”may have over Trump now.โ€

Update: At least three other high-ranking officials in CDC have also resigned.

โ€œI am not able to serve in this role any longer because of the ongoing weaponization of public health,โ€ one of the officials said in a note to staff.

Agents detain student at gunpoint near school; safe zones to be expanded around LAUSD campuses Amid immigration enforcement, city and school officials will set up "safe zones" monitored by LAPD and community volunteers to protect undocumented families when school resumes at LAUSD.

Los Angeles school district police, staff and volunteers will form protective perimeters around at least 100 schools to help ensure safe passage of children โ€” an announcement that came on a day that immigration agents drew their guns on a student with disabilities. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Epstein once said regarding Trump: โ€œIโ€™m a pervert, but Iโ€™m not stupid.โ€ He suggested that Trump would seek revenge if he answered the question.

Alabama immigration advocate detained by ICE in traffic stop, family says: โ€˜Just heartbreaking and discouragingโ€™ "Her detainment is not only legally questionable โ€” it is morally wrong," a petition demanding her release reads.

In Alabama, another horrible ICE detention storyโ€” pulled over for going 1 mile over the speed limit and then put into detention, a woman who earned a masters degree and has become a beloved community advocate. Not a criminal. Someone who contributes to America. www.al.com/news/2025/08...

t took six months for a Trump official to be politely forced by a journalist to admit live on air what everyone - including every economist - knows to be true (but which Trump keeps lying about): tariffs are paid in the US by US importers.

What an indictment of our media.
