Hoping these federal agents are held accountable, breaking the law should have real consequences. A federal judge has ruled that federal immigration agents illegally arrested more than two dozen people.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

DC is the only place in the contiguous United States where US Citizens have no representation. That needs to be fixed. Give them the representation they are entitled to as citizens of the United States. #DCStatehood

A new Trump administration memo would have immense consequences for one key group: 25% of all federal employees are US military veterans. Republicans are putting the financial security of hundreds of thousands of veterans and their families at risk.

Scoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay

Our forebearers fought and died on battlefields to protect our right to free speech from tyrants. This right is so central to the Constitution we vowed to protect that it is enshrined in the very first amendment. You will NEVER take our freedom of speech away on our watch.

Donald Trump has declared this to be a warzone. Maybe our memories are hazy, but any veterans out there remember inflatable animal costumes dancing during combat operations during OIF or OEF?

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."
