CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

The Trump administration is ending Temporary Protected Status for roughly 350,000 Haitians. The aging care industry is expected to lose many workers as a result.

there are so many gutting stories, but this one is hitting me extra hard. just imagining wael tarabishi slowly dying without his dad there to care for him because he was jailed by ICE makes me…i don’t have words. this country is disgusting.

It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

going into people's houses without a warrant. applying for a warrant to investigate a person they already killed. just wild fucking frontiers in 4th amendment law
"...from a civil rights probe to an investigation into a suspected assault on an officer, the people said. A federal magistrate judge rejected that warrant, noting that Good was already dead and could not be considered a suspect for a warrant."

Gerrymandering would be far less of an issue if Democrats had bothered to show up for state and local elections over the past 40 years
FPTP as it is in the US is hurting the country because of
1. Gerrymandering meaning you only have to appeal to one party in most seats
2. The primary system which selects for the most extreme candidates from both parties and means most of our reps
Are elected by 10% of the pop of their districts

NEW: I was one of 3 reporters granted access to the convening of 600+ clergy in Minneapolis this week.

It was a striking show of solidarity with MN clergy resisting ICE, but heralded something else: the emergence of a vast, faith-based network trained to resist ICE. religionnews.com/2026/01/23/i...

Another illegal assault by ICE. We have the tape
ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.

Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

Can anybody tell us just what gives ICE the authority to break open the window of a car? They certainly have no warrant. They are not looking or a specific person. They aren's brown skinned, or speaking a foreign language.

WHAT MAKES THIS LEGAL??????

Why has this NEVER been legal before ever?

Inasmuch as every strain of trumpism is a reflection of the man himself, worth remembering that he is a compulsive, insatiable rapist. His happiest years were spent competitively acquiring and assaulting underage and unwilling women; transgressive domination is the only thing that gratifies him
the strangest thing about trumpism as an ideology, in all its strains, is its total rejection of any theory of legitimacy

This is essentially what governments did in the late 1900s and early 2000s with respect to Nazis. Whether you were a lowly concentration camp guard or in Hitler's inner circle, if there was evidence you were a Nazi, it was straight to jail with your walker.

It worked.
Maybe instead of identifying specific ICE agents who do particularly heinous things, we could just penalize everyone who was on payroll at the agency starting by a certain date.
