A 1-year-old girl was pepper-sprayed through the window of a moving vehicle by ICE agents in Chicago. She was briefly hospitalized.
The dad said a masked agent pointed pepper-spray at a Sam's parking lot when they were hit.

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

Last night, the president of the MAGA right’s leading think tank welcomed an open Nazi into his political coalition.
The Nazi in question here, podcaster Nick Fuentes, has described Hitler as “really fucking cool” and said “perfidious Jews” must “be given the death penalty” after “we take power.”
