This 10 year old boy was chased down by ICE in South Jersey. I am beyond outraged, both as an American and as a father to two boys.
Our system is broken. The first step to fix it is for ICE to leave our state.

A 10-year-old boy recounted fleeing Thursday morning as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation began near his school bus stop in Lindenwold, New Jersey, saying, "We all were scared."

The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, but the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely.

“A grave risk of fatalities.”
that’s warning FAA gave to Pentagon about using anti-drone laser near flights
Then Pentagon and CBP used it anyway — without telling FAA.
The new requires coordination with FAA, but a top official decided to…ignore that.

This is LITERALLY just taking Mike Johnson’s lie and presenting it as fact.
Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.
