Holy shit. ICE has detained Mayor Baraka. This is a chilling attack on dissent 🚨🚨🚨
Alina Habba tells Fox News that Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested and is being held in a secret location right now.

Martha MacCallum: "Where is he being held?"

Habba: 'I'm not going to speak to that right now. He's obviously in New Jersey."

JUST NOW at the @SenWarren town hall in NASHVILLE: “How can kids help things get better?” ❤️

@MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty wont do town halls because they can’t face these tough questions. So Senator Warren is.

Unbelievable.

DOJ fired a lawyer for acknowledging that an illegal deportation may in fact have been illegal.

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st.

He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses."

They didn't show him a warrant.

They didn't give him paperwork.

And he's now suing.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

This isn't going to get the attention of Columbia, but it's at least as bad: the University of Maine is having its funding cut off because the governor of Maine dared to challenge Trump.
I'm appalled by the USDA's decision to pause funding to the University of Maine System.
