Campuses No Longer Off-Limits to ICE

The Trump administration cleared the way for immigration enforcement officers to take action on campuses, sowing fear among undocumented students. Higher ed leaders are struggling with how to respond. #HigherEd #EDUSky #AcademicSky bit.ly/4hnSgDy

Elon Musk and DOGE are now publicly targeting Lutheran groups for cuts.

Among those listed: Global Refuge (formerly LIRS), one of 6 faith-based groups that have long helped the govt resettle refugees.

Not clear why Musk contends this funding, which is longstanding and well known, is "illegal."

From the reports I've read, the USAID people were following the law, preventing DOGE from viewing classified material they didn't have clearance to see.

Musk calling this criminal" means that Musk thinks the law is what he says it is.
Update: USAID is now being called "a criminal organization" by Elon Musk after USAID officials tried to refuse DOGE access and were put on leave. "Time for it to die," he says.

So the govt will shut down and my brother in the army won't get paid but congress will. How brave of them. I'm sure Musk won't come after you in the primary if you ever disagree with him.

Have fought United multiple times, and have won each time (so much time and effort). This year, after a reversal of what we were quoted for the birth of my child, they backed down after we took it all the way to the state AG and the BBB. "Oops just kidding you were right". Again. Maddening.
