SCOOP — ICE employees received an email yesterday telling them the agency's warrantless arrest policy had been rescinded. It's likely part of the Trump administration's efforts to further loosen enforcement restrictions to meet the new quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day.

My report:
ICE agents get green light to make unjustified warrantless arrests
The agency announced an accountability policy has been rescinded.

Trump is unleashing economic chaos as he gears up to pass giant tax cuts for the richest Americans.

But don't worry, he's got it all under control — he's heading to Miami to play golf.

“When you meet those dying children and look into their eyes and hold their hands and feel faint heartbeats flutter, you can’t bear the gleeful laughter. You see children just like your own and hang your head in shame.”

Absolutely devastating but important read about the cuts to foreign aid.
Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Meet Peter, Achol and Evan, ages 10, 8 and 5. The reckless actions of the world's richest men are killing the world's poorest kids www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True. (Gift Article)
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

And this is why you should fight this kidnapping tooth and nail regardless of whether you agree with Mahmoud.
NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.

The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.

No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

President Trump said he would have had a “very nasty life” if he lost the presidential election, a surprisingly public acknowledgment that his legal challenges could have consumed his life and brought jail time.

The president’s remarks were a surprisingly public acknowledgment that he had campaigned for his freedom as much as for the White House itself.

Really don’t know what to tell people as someone who has written and spoken about the far right and authoritarianism and is in the academic side of this that we crossed the rubicon tonight when Trump declared he and the AG are the sole arbitrators of law.
