“A federal agent fired shots through the driver’s side window”.

Sound familiar?

That’s exactly how Renee Nicole Good was killed.

This 23 year old lost his life and ICE’s involvement was covered up for a year.

They’re killing people and hiding the evidence.
Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek
While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

People are cherry-picking Jasmine Crockett’s Israel votes to fit a narrative. Look at her record and the pattern is obvious.

She voted against Israel-only standalone bills, and for broader packages that combined Israel aid with humanitarian funding and wider government spending.

America gave up kings 250 years ago and adopted a system in which “no one is above the law.”

But presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.

Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.

Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.

The legacy of the John Roberts Supreme Court.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.
