This is totally underreported. Trump is not just going after "illegals." He's going after people who were here legally, by changing their status.
These are people who entered the US the right way, and never broke a law. Now they are subject to Trump's whim, his ICE goons, and inhuman detention.

Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas.
Remember: these are people who entered the country legally.
Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

A criminal PARTY. Republicans could stop the kidnapping, imprisonment, and torture of people any time they want with congressional orders. They could stop the consolidation of media empires to hide the truth. Instead they choose to allow it. We are the bad guys because of them.
It’s the year 2025 and Americans have to watch a bootlegged international version of a news program because it was censored here in our country to protect a criminal president.

In all these cases, it's his own insecurity that's driving it.
Why does Trump want Greenland? “National security.”
Why should Trump’s ballroom vanity project proceed? “National security.”
Why is Trump killing the wind energy industry? “National security.”
Why does Trump hate the New York Times? “National security.”
The pattern is ... not subtle.

ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

What's wrong with this effing picture? Everything.
In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing."
The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care.

"Huge" my left tit. Less than one percent released measured by gigabyte, and that's not accounting for the massive redacted material counted as "released."
The media continues to fail us, to downplay the seriousness of the situation, refusing to acknowledge how corrupt the cover-up of this whole episode is.
Washington Post's new headline is still wrong.
1. The release was not "huge."
2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files.
3, No mention of extensive redactions.
