ICE seems to be out of control, and our Ohio senators seem to be supporting them. Time to change out one of our current senators next fall. @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social for the decent working people of Ohio.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

Yes, while they are making up bogeyman stories about peaceful protestors, their actions actually make the country less secure due to all of the distractions and chaos initiated by the administration. Also, release the #TrumpEpsteinFiles

Instead of working to reopen the government and lower health care costs, House Republicans are taking their FOURTH week of vacation.

Probably not a real smart move by Duffy to fire air traffic controllers when the FAA is already short air traffic controllers. Maybe the GOP could just keep healthcare funding for the 17 million that will currently lose it under the huge ugly bill, and then reopen the government?

Good work from @chicago.suntimes.com on how ICE is breaking Illinois law.

Federal immigration officers wear masks and no name tags. Now some are driving cars without license plates.

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.
