Hageman cuts short Casper town hall after contentious exchanges over ICE killings - WyoFile The congresswoman faced questions about the shootings of Alex Pretti and Renée Good, saying she'd have to see a completed investigation, drawing shouts and insults.

'Hageman then gathered her folders, waved goodbye to the audience and exited the stage through a side door while people booed and one man shouted “coward” and “chickenshit.”'

GOP Rep. Harriet Hageman - of WYOMING - was booed out of her town hall last night.

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill gave Trump $190 billion for DHS, including $75 billion for ICE and $65 billion for CBP.

That's money Republicans stripped from rural hospitals and helping people afford health care.

Congress should claw it back and put serious restraints on DHS.

In this Minnesota special election last night, the Republican's vote share (4%) was just 33% of Trump's 2024 vote share (13%). That's the lowest ratio for R/(last Pres R) we have on record going back to 2017! 1/3

Opinion | Assume this loutocracy is lying about ICE until proven otherwise Kristi Noem isn’t the only reason millions of Americans increasingly distrust the deportation mania.

"Today, it is more than prudent, it is good citizenship to assume that everything ICE says, and everything the administration says in support of its deportation mania, is untrue until proved to be otherwise."

DECLARATION OF CARLOS ALEXANDER OSORTO
I, Carlos Alexander Osorto, declare the following based on my personal knowledge:
1. I make this declaration from my personal knowledge and if called to testify to these facts I could and would do so competently.
2. My name is Carlos Alexander Osorto. I am 50 years old. I am Hispanic.
3. I havelived in Pasadena, California for about 14 years. I am a day laborer. I work in construction. I have built homes all over Los Angeles. I am a proud grandfather to seven U.S. citizen grandchildren, ages 2-13, including two step-grandchildren.
4. On June 18, 2025 around 5:50 A.M., I was sitting on a bench at the Metro stop in front of Winchell's Donuts near the corner of Orange Grove Boulevard and Los Robles Avenue in Pasadena, CA waiting to be picked up for a construction job. I was with a few co-workers. We were drinking coffee and things were calm.
5. Suddenly, my coworker said to me, "those cars seem strange." I looked up and saw four unmarked, regular sedans with tinted windows and no license plates had pulled up in front of and surrounding us. They came up quickly and really scared me. At that moment, the car doors swung open and at least four men in masks and civilian clothes with guns strapped to their legs started running at us. One of the men had a large gun. They did not identify themselves; they just started running. None of them had visible badges, just a vest.
I was terrified. I didn't know who the men were and I was afraid they would
hurt me. It felt like mercenaries, like a kidnapping. For weeks, I had seen videos and heard stories of these things happening all around Los Angeles. ... 
I got up and tried to run. I heard the men yelling "stop!" but they still did not identify themselves as immigration or any type of law enforcement officers. Soon, one of the men caught up to me. He pointed what looked like a gun, but I think it was a taser, over my heart and yelled "stop or I'll use it!" I stopped immediately.

He pointed what looked like a gun, but I think it was a taser, over my heart and yelled "stop or I'll use it!" I stopped immediately.

He handcuffed me without asking any questions, or identifying himself, and took me back to the bench. My coworkers were already in handcuffs when I got back.
7. We were each put in a different car. The men droveus two blocks over to a CVS parking lot, which was empty at that time. They removed us from the cars. All of the officers had guns and tasers strapped to their legs. One had a big gun, like you would have in war, and he held it in front of his chest. It was very intimidating.
8. One of the men asked me if I had papers. I said no. This was the first time I was asked for my immigration papers. I was already handcuffed, but they chained me in three places: my feet, my waist, and my wrists. Then they put me back in the car and drove me to a jail. I was never informed that there was any warrant for my arrest.
9. When we arrived at the jail, the men who arrested us put on their jackets and uniform that said police. Officers took my fingerprints and photo. They asked me lots of questions and got mad when I did not want to answer.
10. The jail was already really full. Some people had been there for days. The officers kept yelling "No water! No food! No medicine!" when people would ask for help. I was held there for two days and then they moved us. I was shackled again at my feet, waist and wrists and moved to Adelanto, where I am currently detained.
11. At Adelanto I am held in a cell with three other men. There is one toilet in the room that we have to share with no privacy. I am afraid for my safety here. I saw a man fall and hit his head. We told the officers, but they told us just to leave him there and that he did not need medical care. Another man was banging his head against the wall repeatedly because he was in so much pain from a toothache, but the officers said there was nothing they could do about it.
