Agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter in a massive show of force.
Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building.
But after the cameras were gone, federal prosecutors did not charge anyone.

Some 600 immigrant kids were sent to federal custody by ICE in 2025.
A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.
Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn.

Here's what I can say—
I don't have any confidence the Trump Administration has a realistic plan.
America is strongest when we have friends and allies around the world, not when we try to extort other countries.

Hard to turn a guy into white MLK when "white MLK" is inherently racist and when the white MLK spent his career being grotesquely racist on camera, including literally talking shit about MLK.
Maybe even harder when his widow spends much of her time thrumming with slightly-contained glee.

The US already has extensive unlimited military access to Greenland under long-standing treaty arrangements with Denmark. Trump’s rhetoric implies a need to secure access that already exists, misleading Americans by framing alliance-based cooperation as territorial control.
