The Trump administration’s efforts to deport foreign students who espoused pro-Palestinian views under a little-used foreign policy provision have no obvious legal parallel, according to recent testimony from four veteran immigration agents.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

This should worry everyone!

“The documents reveal the Trump administration has authorized every single law enforcement officer in the country, including traffic cops, to engage in immigrant roundups explicitly outside due process,”

If you didn’t appreciate or understand the Superbowl Halftime show then you weren’t the target audience.
What’s wild to me is all these people loudly (again) announcing their racism by saying they didn’t “understand” a word he was saying.

Russian military intelligence (GRU) ran a campaign to intimidate and silence Russia’s critics in Estonia.

Targets included the interior minister, who was surveilled, and whose family car’s windows were smashed near his home.

This is important! 🧵👇

You’d think people would be out on the streets, a la Georgia/Romania, protesting the possibility of losing veteran’s benefits, social security, Medicare/Medicaid etc but everybody is just shrugging…American apathy is interesting to watch

Scott Jennings is despicable.
Jennings: Have it my friend, you’re the expert. You act like one.

This should terrify every American. It doesn’t matter where you stand on immigration. Using our military as a domestic law enforcement tool at mass scale will destroy its core purpose, turn the American people against them, and damage the institution for decades.

If Trump wants to deport undocumented migrants, they will still need a hearing before an immigration judge.

The next available final hearing date, based on current backlog of 1,478,623 asylum cases pending, is in 2029—after Trump has left office.

They haven’t though this through. Shocking.

Opinion | I vetted Pete Hegseth for Team Trump in 2016. He wasn't qualified then — and still isn't.
The Fox News personality represents an empty vessel that sounds and acts tough on TV. It’s not hard to imagine what about that appeals to Donald Trump.
