Chicago launched a program last year that lets police file felony gun charges without getting a prosecutor’s approval. Two of the police officers who have overseen many cases under this program have 59 misconduct complaints between them.
New Chicago Prosecutor Empowers Police to File More Charges Without Review
In a predominantly Black area of Chicago, police can now directly file gun charges without a prosecutor’s approval. The new program rolls back a process that serves to check misconduct.

Please call your senators and tell them to demand rescission of the ICE/CBP funding under the BBB.
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

GENERAL STRIKE it is. This bullshit isn't going to end until money makes it. It took one day for MN companies to fold and at least tepidly resist Trump.
It's amazing what happens when the highly leveraged can't make their payments. Obviously congress will not save us.

There are many rumors going around about a large operation targeting Haitians in Springfield whose TPS is going to be stripped from them next week; we do not know if they are true, but the community is preparing nonetheless.
Notably, expect court decisions ASAP in pending cases to save TPS.

Adam Schiff is still acting like the threat is a *future* problem.

![Behind the scenes: Democrats are gripped by their fears that President Trump may eventually invoke the Insurrection Act — which would allow him to deploy the U.S. military against citizens on U.S. soil — to crack down on protests across the country.
Led by Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), a working group of over a dozen Senate Democrats has been meeting for months to prepare for that possibility, a source told Axios.
The group, which has included participation from Schumer's office, is preparing a response that would include coordinated messaging, floor action in the Senate and support for legal efforts.
Dems "must not be caught flat-footed if [Trump] takes such an extreme step to deploy troops to police our streets," Schiff said in a statement.
The bottom line: Democrats have also rejected overtures to cut a deal that secures their desired DHS changes via executive action.
To Democrats, given their lack of trust in the White House, that approach is a nonstarter.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4usmserhjqkvhldgedfjb3jw/bafkreig5cprnrjtee6la4ttp63idtmnrfxdloc5mokbiq4i3x2cvra75fu@jpeg)

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”
