Inflation ticks up to 2.8% in November as consumer spending jumps 0.5%, federal data show. Stubborn price growth likely forces the Fed to hold interest rates steady next week, complicating policy pivot despite cooling labor market. Voters, however, say government numbers are too low, untrustworthy.

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
