This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Can’t wait for Alito to explain why you have a right to pray at midfield on public school property but should be shot in the head with “less” lethal ammo when you do it in front of an immigration detention facility

Why won’t Speaker Johnson allow Bondi to testify in the House Judiciary Committee?

The American people deserve transparency, and we should not be covering up disgraceful and dangerous crimes.

There is no one in the Eastern District of Virginia willing to prosecute the Comey BS case. So the corrupt tRump DOJ had to bring in prosecutors from another district.

More reporting about how that ICE raid in South Shore might have been as much about evicting all the residents of the building for Wells Fargo as it was to kidnap migrants without due process.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.
