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.

Here’s how we should all be reporting on the spurious claims from these agencies that have repeatedly been caught in lies and exaggerations:
Border patrol chief reprimanded for lying claims shots were fired at immigration officers in Chicago
Gregory Bovino was called out by a judge only two days earlier for lying about being assaulted by a protester

It’s crucial to keep emphasizing that these EOs were lawless. There was never a plausible argument they were constitutional. This administration has nothing but contempt for the constitution and the rule of law.

I must stress also the folly of treating this as ANY form of "marketplace of ideas" debate. Because RFK Jr. already lost that debate. Andrew Wakefield, his buddy, already lost that debate. Decades ago, at this point. And instead of admitting defeat, they turned over the game board.
It’s not a difference of opinion. It’s not a nuanced scientific debate.
What RFK Jr. is doing is ushering in the complete destruction of US public health infrastructure.

The idea that education is intended for girls and disadvantages boys is beyond ridiculous. Look at the history of education and how girls and women were prevented from accessing it. Girls are still penalized today for showing too many inches of skin because it’s a “distraction” to the boys

There are definitely areas for improvement with the United States system for allowable food additives, and the best way to fix it would be to strengthen the FDA by increasing scientific funding & regulatory authority, not by gutting everything including basic guardrails like meat and milk inspection
