The number of ways this is disgraceful behavior from the Secretary of Defense is...a lot.

Service members do have a duty to refuse illegal orders

All Americans have a 1st Amendment right to say that out loud.

Stephen Miller said the Chicago building was “filled with TdA terrorists.”

DOJ prosecutors have not filed criminal charges or shown evidence that anyone arrested in the raid belonged to the Tren de Aragua gang.

In Saturday morning’s @propublica.org newsletter, Melissa Sanchez wrote about her recent story on an immigration raid on a Chicago apt building.

She was able to locate and speak with detained and deported people who experienced it. Here’s what they told her: www.propublica.org/article/chic...
