ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Trump says the US is in "armed conflict" with drug cartels.

Meanwhile, his DOJ is disbanding a task force that took on cartels.

Trump doesn't care about stopping drug trafficking — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

This is a power grab.

More than 1 in 4 unemployed workers have been out of work for at least 6 months. Nearly a million people could be pushed into poverty by Trump’s tariffs.

Meanwhile, Trump and Republicans have gutted the social safety net.

He is creating the perfect storm of economic misery.

If Israel can get away with this — executing a lethal drone strike on aid workers thousands of kilometers from its borders in international waters — then no ally of Palestine, anywhere, is safe. The Flotilla strike was an attack on solidarity itself.

Federal Judge Strikes Down Trump’s Use of Alien Enemies Act to Deport Venezuelans

The ruling, which is limited to the Southern District of Texas, prohibited the administration from using the wartime law because the president’s claims about a Venezuelan gang do not add up to an “invasion.”
