Obviously DHS is afraid of something or some things. Otherwise they would welcome oversight inspections instead of hiding from them.

I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.  As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

I’m talking to Democrats and Republicans in the Senate every day, but the House is critical to solving this shutdown too. Mike Johnson needs to get House Republicans back to Washington so we can actually work together to stop health care costs from rising dramatically.

As evening fell on the site of an ICE abduction at Lincoln and Foster, a lone protester held a vigil.

If you want to understand why the ICE facility in Portland is such a hotbed of protest, this story is all the context you need...

"They disappeared her." This story from @timdickinson.bsky.social is so upsetting. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Donald Trump's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) disappeared an immigrant mom living in Portland and her four U.S. citizen children.

@wgntv.com did an excellent job on the segment– carefully done, not exploitative.

It's never possible to get a full picture of violent events instantly. Later interviews + video will show what happened. And, WGN house policy to protect identities is appropriate.

Most important: no charges brought.

Seems Trump is repaying the oil and gas industries for the $1 billion he demanded they give to his campaign.

Another likely reason Trump was snubbed for the Nobel Prize … his threats to attack Denmark and Venezuela and Panama and Greenland and Brazil.
