ICE officers arrested 54-year-old Julio Noriega and moved him into a van before he could explain himself, he said.
He spent several hours in an ICE processing center before officers checked his wallet and realized he is a U.S. citizen.

While we all prepare - a reminder that a resource needed from your community is childcare. It doesn’t have to mean you are responsible for kids, entertainment is a huge help as well! An easier, but no less crucial, way for the disabled in our communities to help the community they build.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

The U.S. winter virus season is in full force, and by one measure is the most intense in 15 years.
U.S. facing most intense flu season in at least 15 years
One indicator of flu activity is the percentage of doctor’s office visits driven by flu-like symptoms. Last week, that number was clearly higher than the peak of any winter flu season since 2009-2010.

The Trump administration, along with Elon Musk’s staffers, has jeopardized the security of the C.I.A. by making employee names public—a move both illegal and dangerous. Current officials confirmed that the C.I.A. sent employee names to the OPM, complying with an executive order signed by Trump.
