A wide grin was plastered on Marimar Martinez’s face Thursday as she thanked her attorneys outside an Illinois courtroom and told reporters, “I’m just blessed. I’m happy.”

Text SIGN POOEAG to 50409 — I am writing to remind you of a basic and indisputable point of law: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has no legal authority whatsoever to detain, arrest, or hold United States citizens for immigration enforcement purposes. ICE’s jurisdiction is strictly limited to the enforcement of federal immigration laws, which by definition apply only to non-citizens. The detention of U.S. citizens by ICE—whether through negligence, reckless disregard, or willful abuse of power—is unlawful and a direct violation of constitutional rights, including the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. Any detention of a U.S. citizen by ICE constitutes an illegal seizure. It exposes the federal government to civil liability and represents a profound failure of oversight by Congress. When this occurs, it is not a “mistake” to be brushed aside—it is a breakdown of the rule of law. As my elected representative, you have a sworn duty to uphold the Constitution and to provide oversight of federal agencies operating under your authority. That duty includes ensuring ICE complies with the law, implementing meaningful accountability when violations occur, and taking immediate corrective action when Americans’ rights are infringed. Silence or inaction in the face of unconstitutional conduct is not neutrality—it is complicity. I expect you to publicly reaffirm that ICE may not detain U.S. citizens and to take concrete steps to ensure this prohibition is enforced. The Constitution is not optional. Neither is your responsibility to defend it.

The number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits increased marginally last week, suggesting the labor market likely maintained a steady pace of job growth in January.

Text SIGN PFXEHK to 50409 — Secretary Noem said that ICE agents were doing exactly what they were trained to do. If shooting citizens is what they have been trained to do they should not be allowed on US streets. Keep ICE out of our cities. No more shootings!
