They claimed there was no funding during the shutdown to continue the Oath Ceremonies to allow these immigrants who were, by definition, doing it “the right way,” and yet, ICE, which unambiguously has targeted and abused people who are in the legal process, continues to operate at full capacity.

Just learned those whose Citizenship Oath Ceremonies were canceled because of the shutdown (meaning they already passed their interview), are now subject to further vetting, including random home visits from officials. They claim they want people to do it “the right way” but remove all those routes.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Trump is appealing the judicial order to pay full SNAP benefits by tomorrow.
He’s spending tax payer dollars going back to court to try and avoid giving folks money they are legally owed.
He’s starving 42 million people because to him they are leverage.
It’s enraging.

That's murder.
ICE deported him anyways.
They literally put a man who was at death’s door on a plane to Costa Rica.
Doctors there found he had encephalopathy, rhabdomyolysis and the inability to eat on his own.
What happened to him in ICE custody to cause this?
He died a few weeks after deportation:

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit
Defense says that the officer's testimony was "very questionable" because he said the sandwich both exploded in spray of mustard and onions and also landed in its wrapper on the ground.
