Maria Greeley is a U.S. citizen who was detained by ICE and told her passport “isn’t real” and that she “doesn’t look like” her last name.

What do they think an American should look like?

This racial profiling happens every day under Trump’s lawless regime. It’s un-American.

US citizen says ICE detained her, said her passport "isn't real"

Maria Greeley was reportedly detained by agents, despite carrying documentation proving her citizenship.

Because Republicans are on vacation, we haven’t gotten any sort of classified briefings, rationale from the Administration, or intel on if innocent people have been killed by Trump's boat strikes.

We need to have oversight done by Congress.

Trump and his cronies say they want to take down MS-13, but behind closed doors they're conspiring with Bukele to hide evidence of his government's collusion with MS-13—all so he can imprison individuals disappeared from the US in violation of their due process rights.

Shameful.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

“This is not about drugs, it’s not about Venezuela, it’s not about anything else but this new assertion by the president that the U.S. military will kill anyone he points at, for any reason he deems sufficient.”

Very true and very scary comment by Tom Nichols.

Graphic from Pete Buttigieg that reads "The job market is getting worse.

Prices and costs are up - not down as Trump promised would happen from "day one."

Americans' everyday lives are very obviously not better than they were a year ago.

And that’s why the President has become so strikingly unpopular."

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.”

Tonight marks a milestone for all of us at the PBS News Hour. On this day 50 years ago, we aired our first broadcast. The show had a different name, but the same mission to deliver thoughtful & trustworthy journalism. Half a century later, we're still at it & guided by the same principles & mission.

More people marched today than at any time in the history of the United States.

For @nytimes.com, it was the 6th most important story.

They are making sure that those in power do not see what they do not want to see.

This is not what we were brought up to think of as journalism.
