Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Data suggests separations are now happening all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment

"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.

At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

Videos verified by The New York Times show the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday was holding a phone, not a gun, before the agents took him to the ground and shot him. At least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

So the “everyone should be armed” second amendment crowd is using the fact the a man was armed (maybe) as justification?

Is this right?

Conservatives who once railed against federal agents now applaud them
Since Ruby Ridge and Waco, some right-wing populists had excoriated federal law enforcement. Now those agents are being deployed by their allies.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.

Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

These US citizens were let go, but their car window was broken and they were injured. Insanity.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.

That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.

Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

BREAKING: The House passed a bill renewing ICE and CBP's already record-high budget — with no strings attached.

The Senate must reject this bill and rein in ICE’s abuses in our communities.

Referring to his keynote address at the World Economic Forum, Trump told the audience that sometimes “you need a dictator.” To be clear, this is the President of the United Staes telling the world (including us) that we need a dictator, and HE is that dictator.
