Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.
They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

ICE agents arrest Alderperson Jessie L. Fuentes (26th Ward of Chicago city council) after she questions them on whether they have a signed judicial warrant to arrest a person at Humboldt Park Hospital.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

A protest against the visit of US vice-president J.D. Vance has been staged in Charlbury, the Oxfordshire town closest to his holiday venue of Dean. The demonstration, organised by the Stop Trump Coalition and local residents, featured placards such as “Cotswold childless cat ladies say go home”.

“After reviewing the files, Bondi and Patel ordered FBI agents to black out every mention of Trump. Why? If Trump only pops up occasionally as an innocent bystander, why the blackout if the mentions? If Trump did nothing concerning, why not just release the files?”
