NEW: Mayor Wu has been one of the faces of pushback to Trump's ICE demands.
But a police grant the city is re-applying for is sparking concerns about helping immigration enforcement: not just due to new strings DHS is imposing, but also due to how a fusion center called BRIC is already working.
As immigration agents have escalated their tactics, US citizens, many of them Latino men, have been stopped and in some cases taken into custody by law enforcement officers. Allison, Jenny and I took a closer look at the encounters. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/u...

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

“And on a personal note… I strongly believe that the loss of local newspapers is an underdiscussed blow to our communities. With this comic, I hope to make readers consider that, as well as how we got here and how scary it is that nothing has effectively replaced what we once had.”
