Armed with signs that read “Fight Ignorance not Immigrants” and “The only ICE I like is in my Horchata,” nearly 300 people gathered Saturday to protest recent immigration actions in front of East Chicago's City Hall.

“ICE kidnapped a community member here,” reads one. “Never forget/no nos olvidamos,” says another.

The signs have appeared across some of D.C.’s heavily immigrant neighborhoods where federal immigration arrests have escalated.

Signs popping up around D.C. note: ‘ICE kidnapping happened here’

The signs range in style and mark numerous locations where people have been taken by federal agents.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

It's seriously infuriating how national media is bothsidesing Portland. There's a major (award winning!) airport here which you can fly nonstop to from every city in the country.

SEND A FUCKING REPORTER AND RENT THEM A CAR!!!

Rural emergency hospitals draw more federal funds to rural hospitals if they reduce or eliminate inpatient services and focus on emergency and outpatient treatment. Five Arkansas hospitals have made this trade since September 2023.

Trading inpatient care for more federal money works for some, not all rural Arkansas hospitals | Arkansas Advocate

Rural hospital administrators consider patient volume and the needs of the communities they serve when deciding whether to pursue new federal funding streams.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

“Portland…and I…every day. Every day, I see videos and it’s just…fires. There’s burning, fire…lava, there’s lava and volcanoes. It’s so…and there are men fighting with light sabers. Portland. It’s…men, swinging on ropes and smacking each other with light sabers. And you say who lives this way?”

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

This post initially freaked me out. Very poor word choice. The Qataris are NOT building a base here. They've been accepted for training (like many other nations) on our base in Mountain Home Idaho. Sounds like it means additional construction on the base? www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth...

Linnerd @pnw4me.bsky.social · 1d

I'm not a fan, but it's a really poor choice of words/framing. Qatari pilots will be trained at our Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho. Perhaps some construction will be required, but Qatari is not building their own independent base. www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth...

Hegseth announces Qatar will build air force facility at U.S. base in Idaho

The move is a sign of increasingly close ties between the U.S. and Qatar.

Thank you. Poor choice of words. There will be no base built for the Quataris. They are being hosted at our Mountain Home Base in Idaho. We host Singapore there as well. thehill.com/policy/defen...

Linnerd @pnw4me.bsky.social · 1d

this is not quite accurate. They are not building a base here. Though I'm angry about this, the move is to host Qatari airforce for training at the Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho. We already host the Singapore at that base. thehill.com/policy/defen...
