The Trump administration’s crackdown on legal immigration is making it tougher for doctors, engineers, professors and artists to get permission to work and live in the U.S.

For foreign professionals, the crackdown has meant new levels of anguish and fear.

New from 404 Media: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. Spoke to people briefed on plans. This isn't licensed PIs/bounty hunters. These are just former police/military; members of public

"Something doesn't sound right"

A flight plan has now been filed for ICE Air deportation flight OAE 3787, indicating that after refueling in Baltimore, the aircraft will continue on to Jasionka, Poland, near the Ukraine border. It is highly likely it is the reported flight of Ukrainians to Poland.
An ICE Air deportation flight (OAE3787) departed Phoenix, AZ at 14:45 EST and is en route to Baltimore, MD for refueling. It is still very early to confirm but this is possibly the reported deportation flight to Poland carrying Ukrainian nationals. We will be closely monitoring.

The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) has been lying to locals about US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations at Hanscom Air Field.

Emails between Massport and an airfield operator at Hanscom show Massport has gotten advanced notice of ICE flights out of Hanscom. Massport has repeatedly denied getting such notice when asked.

Massport covers up ICE activity at Hanscom airfield. See our story at lexingtonalarm.org oversight bodies asked Massport specifically about ICE flights. They denied any knowledge.

Two weeks before they got an official email with the subject “ICE charter flights”. What is Massport hiding.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

7/ What Epstein *also* said—which was misreported by the Post—is that to his knowledge Trump never received a *massage* from an Epstein employee. This isn’t the same thing as saying Trump never slept with an Epstein employee or touched one inappropriately, let alone never committed any child abuse.
