We watched more than 50 hours of dashcam and bodycam footage taken from the first night of the ICE sweeps in Nashville in May. During one arrest, an agent finds an immigrant's ID and notes he's a manager at a Mexican restaurant.

“The guacamole is never going to taste the same,” the agent laughs.

I spoke with 18 people who've known Florida Republican Congressman Cory Mills. Nearly everyone, I found, dislikes him.

As one Army veteran who served with Mills put it, “I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire."

Veterans accuse him of stolen valor. His international arms company is deep in debt. He had a restraining order placed on him last year. And he's widely disliked.

Some had Shirley, others had Obama, but, Jesse was the beacon for so many of my generation, teaching us early on that perseverance has no limits and hope plus action are two of the greatest forces for change. Thank you, Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. May you rest in eternal peace and power.

ICE's collaboration with local cops has helped it deport immigrants—but that very collaboration could also make it more vulnerable to civil rights lawsuits.

A really important piece: The government brought a Blackhawk helicopter into Chicago for... a few immigrants squatting in an apartment...and then called everyone terrorists with no evidence
DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover.

New documents show the real story behind the raid was to target alleged squatters — with the landlord's blessing.
