🚨 Read this Chicago Tribune investigative piece. Please.

This ICE agent - charged with DUI - told arresting officers he was driving back his hotel after working at the detention center.

Driving through our suburbs. 😡
An Oak Brook police bodycam video obtained by the Tribune through an open records request captures the early morning Oct. 26, 2025 arrest of Guillermo J. Diaz-Torres, an off-duty ICE agent from Albuquerque, N. M., who was charged with DUl after he crashed a rented 2025 Kia Telluride into a row o tall hedges in the west suburban town. Police allege Diaz-Torres had fallen asleep at an intersection, then crashed the car after a Westmont police officer attempted to wake him. Operation Midway Blitz - the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's mass deportation effort in the Chicago area - was launched in honor of a young suburban woman who was killed by a man accused of driving drunk while being in the country without the legal paperwork.

The value of the anatomically correct Lego set we built during the 2021 inauguration probably just went up a bit 🥺

We did major work at the White House. But what people often don't understand is that when you do a historic restoration, you can't just do whatever you want. You work alongside the fine-arts commission and are obliged to create a replica of the past, as close as humanly possible. It's a historic institution, not a showhouse. -Iris Apfel (“[Apfel] collaborated on several interior design and restoration projects, including work with the White House during the terms of nine American presidents: Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Clinton.” https://magazine.luxus-plus.com/en/a-short-history-of-luxury-portrait-of-iris-apfel-through-100-years-of-style/)
