No more roving, masked ICE or CBP agents in our cities. Until there are real reforms—IDs on, body cams on, warrants required, independent investigations—I will oppose ICE and DHS funding. Period.

YouTube video by Lawyer Oyer PSA: How FBI and DHS can access your phone or email account

It turns out it’s shockingly easy for the FBI or the Department of Homeland Security to get into your phone or your email account, even if you’ve committed no crime and done nothing wrong. I’m sharing two stories that are cautionary tales for all of us. Please share. youtube.com/shorts/hZtNj...

Illinois’ Republican candidates for governor push crime as top issue despite data showing declines The Republican race for governor features a paradoxical narrative in which candidates loyal to President Trump are campaigning against a crime wave he says no longer exists.

Analysing One Federal Agent’s Use of Less-Lethal Launcher in Minneapolis After the fatal shooting of Renee Good, Border Patrol agent "EZ-17" was filmed shooting less-lethal munitions at protesters five times in five minutes.

Here’s another Bellingcat series on an agent using “less lethal” munitions.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Republicans need to take a stand. This is an assault on the Constitution.

You can’t call yourself a defender of liberty if you won’t defend it when it counts.

STATEMENT REGARDING DETENTION OF STANDING ROCK SIOUX TRIBE MEMBER IN MINNESOTA JANUARY 24, 2026 I was notified today, January 24, 2026, that a Standing Rock Sioux Tribe member has been detained by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state of Minnesota. Tribal leadership is actively working to locate the individual, gather accurate information, and coordinate with the appropriate authorities to secure their release. At this time, details surrounding the detention remain limited. I urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information while this matter is being reviewed. Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will continue to advocate for the protection of our citizen's rights and will provide updates as appropriate.

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month.

Statement from Standing Rock:

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue.

Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.
