A sad update to the story of the 13-year-old Massachusetts boy who was abducted by ICE: He is choosing to self-deport to Brazil because even if he were to win his asylum case, his lawyer says it's possible he could still remain incarcerated.

Family will seek 'voluntary departure' for Everett boy detained by ICE

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Imagine being 17, your little brother by your side, begging to speak to your dad as he’s dragged away. You may never see him again. And this is every day. Soul shattering, nightmarish stuff, never to be forgiven.

A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

My bf bought me a digital audio player as an early christmas present and… i didn’t realize how much the combo of streaming+bluetooth degrades audio quality. It’s crazy! Also my itunes library was SO insane right before i switched to spotify. I caught the tail end of the great music blog wave

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.

While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:
