We agree with Murad Awawdeh of @thenyic.bsky.social who said: "Whether it’s family members attending court, community members offering court watch support, or journalists exercising their constitutional right to document events, ICE has shown a blatant disregard for human dignity and safety."

ICE brutalizing journalists is nothing short of an act of political violence and an assault on the free press.

We strongly condemn these cowardly actions by masked agents.

David Smith’s first order of business after purchasing The Baltimore Sun was to disparage the newspaper’s dedicated staff at an all-hands meeting.

Since then, his company has sought to silence any criticism from the union.

We get it, David: You can dish it, but you certainly can’t take it.

Mario Guevara has been detained away from his family for over 100 days. He could be deported at any moment.

Opinion | My father is a journalist. The Trump administration is about to deport him.
