Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

“We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

According to the diocese, the priest was legally working here. Now, he’s in ICE detention: www.ncronline.org/news/texas-e...

Nvidia, the computing giant that became the world’s first $5 trillion company, is powering ICE's investigative division, according to federal records reviewed by The Intercept.

Only about a third of the Trump interview aired on "60 Minutes." CBS has published the transcript of the complete interview here —> www.cbsnews.com/news/read-fu...

It’s even more lopsided when it comes to a military invasion of Venezuela: 55% opposed vs. 15% support. Even more Republicans oppose rather than support invasion.

US citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents children would be coming to get bus, lawyers say

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

Absolutely shameful abuse of state power. Video in link. Protestors were there after ICE picked up a man and two kids on their way to school.

The people on the right getting mad at Tucker Carlson for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his podcast don’t seem to have gotten mad at all at Donald Trump for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at his home for dinner. Funny that.

Side note: Threats of military action notwithstanding, worth noting that any Christians fleeing religious persecution in Nigeria could not, at present, enter the U.S. as refugees, as the U.S. refugee program has been almost entirely frozen by Trump for months — save for Afrikaners from South Africa.

The way he pours his tea just screams, “alpha male.”

A local news report said immigration agents were seen wearing Halloween masks in L.A.
When asked about the report, a DHS spokeswoman said, “Happy Halloween!”

A scoop that I’m not happy to report:

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

“We now have an open target on us.”

Anti-fascists are recalibrating how they protest in response to Donald Trump's crackdown on dissent following the killing of Charlie Kirk.

This would be horrible for WB studios.

Netflix has an abysmal batting avg on movies. Can you name any classic Netflix films?

This would also hasten the death of theaters, with Netflix’s 2 week release windows before streaming.

Horrible idea.
