For many families, the Trump administration’s efforts to restrict birthright citizenship have turned what should've been the happiest moments — the birth of a new child — into a time of stress and uncertainty.

We won't back down from defending the 14th Amendment.

Immigrant Parents Confront Fear, Uncertainty Over Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Threats

Families share how Trump’s threat to end birthright citizenship turned moments of joy into doubt about their children’s futures.

The warrantless arrests of 11 immigrant restaurant workers in Liberty earlier this year violated a 2022 consent decree, a federal judge ruled. The arrests of the workers at El Potro Mexican Café in February were among the first in the KC area to draw widespread media attention.

That's two Chicago journalists feds have arrested (that I know of) in the last few weeks.

We're less than 24 hours out from federal judge Sara Ellis entering a restraining order that was supposed to protect journalists, among others, from abuse by federal agents.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.
