One of the most odious episodes of the first Trump administration was family separation, ripping kids from migrant parents (and in some cases losing them). Now family separation is back, @propublica reports: www.propublica.org/article/ice-...
ICE Sent 600 Immigrant Kids to Detention in Federal Shelters This Year. It’s a New Record.
Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border. New data suggests separations are happening all over the count...

ICE in 2025 reminds me of secret police thugs in some dictatorships I've reported in. Take this incident in Rhode Island in which ICE misidentified a target at a courthouse and threatened to smash the windows of a judge's car when she intervened. www.wpri.com/news/local-n...

This is an extraordinary thread. Please read every word.
THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

If SNAP math is hurting your brain today, this is shows why USDA's 50% cut to maximum SNAP benefits translates into a much deeper cut to average benefits.
Only households receiving the maximum benefit will see a 50% cut under USDA's plan – and everyone else gets cut more deeply.
Only households receiving the maximum benefit will see a 50% cut under USDA's plan – and everyone else gets cut more deeply.
So the range of outcomes is
- 50 percent of benefits
- less than 50 percent of benefits
- no benefits at all
