The administration may not be willing to admit it but I’ve seen our police officers cooperate with ICE myself.

Our police should not be weaponized against our communities. That’s why I introduced a bill to restrict cooperation between MPD and ICE.
Lawmaker questions about immigrant arrests go unanswered by D.C. police
The interim chief assured the D.C. Council that police are not working with ICE, but didn’t respond to many specific questions that council members had asked.

I am thrilled that after two years of negotiating we finally have a contract that our members could accept. This document will be a foundation on which we can build a more equitable, flexible and stronger workplace.

Yesterday, after killing Renee Good, armed federal agents went to a high school and tackled people, handcuffed workers, and teargassed bystanders. Schools are now closed district-wide because ICE and border patrol have created such a dangerous environment

I have seen three videos now, all of them contradict Tricia's statement. And every single journalist who interacts with her knows that she lies all the time in ways that can be proven, which should also be stated in the piece.
the nyt says that no version of events in minneapolis can be "verified independently." but that's not true! there are multiple videos proving that the ICE version of events is a total lie. maybe the nyt can, y'know, watch one of them? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

NEW: Publishers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announce they are shutting down the newspaper on May 3, 2026.

Hours ago, the Supreme Court of the US declined to extend a stay on a court order for the paper to pay its journalists following the end of a 3-year strike.

This company wasted who knows how much money to pay a lawyer who clerked for Alito to try and vacate our victory and even that didn’t get it done. Shocking that the workers are right again. Shocking!
Post-Gazette, when you can’t even get Alito and this Supreme Court on your side, it’s over. Give us our health insurance back and just hand that CBA back at the same time. 🫳🎤
