Ihre Papiere, bitte! Trump's secret police gave a Rogers Park man a $130 ticket for not having his papers on his person when he was stopped. They rounded him up last week and eventually let him go, but not without a fine that legal experts widely believe is unlawful.

ICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: ‘It’s not fair…I’m a resident’

Under federal law, registered foreign nationals must carry proof of registration with them at all times. But prior to a second Trump administration, it was rarely enforced.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did.

A single section hidden deep in the bill quietly neuters the courts. It’s that serious.🔥👇

🚨 Prop 50 is on the ballot! It’s how California fights back against trump’s rigged maps. A YES vote means fairer representation, 5 flipped House seats, and a stand for democracy through 2023. Don’t let MAGA steal Congress again—#VoteYesOnProp50

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Israeli settlers continue to wage war on Palestinians in the West Bank and elsewhere. They are breaking into people's homes, stealing their stuff, trashing their homes and sometimes kidnapping and killing people. This is happening NOW. People should know this.

“I think it’s tacky; it’s weird to have something like this in Anaheim,” said Ashley, an Orange County native. “It’s giving big-brother vibes.”

“That’s so fucking lame,” said Xavier, an LA resident, looking at the Border Patrol-branded bullfighter on my phone. “Every person in that arena knows someone affected by the raids.”
