In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Please watch PM Carney's speech. Powerful, and in my view as a political scholar, 100% accurate. We must stop living within the lie.

Starmer slams Trump:

"Trump deployed words on Chagos yesterday that were different to his previous words of welcome and support when I met him in the White House... for the express purpose of putting pressure on me and Britain in relation to my values and principles on the future of Greenland."

Donald Trump has unveiled his controversial “Gaza Board of Peace”. Many of the invited leaders are known for human rights abuses, crushing dissent and undermining democracy globally. The invited leaders lack credibility and the board has no legitimacy.

Stephen Murrell has a welll timed court hearing 20feb26.
It should be remembered that Murrell was an employee of the SNP, he is accused of defrauding his employers i.e. we the members of the SNP but as usual the media will twist it to anti-SNP, anti-independence rhetoric.
