“The prize represents a triumph for the University of California system; Clarke remains at the University of California, Berkeley, and Devoret and Martinis are at the University of California, Santa Barbara. (Devoret also holds a position at Yale University.)”

One trademark of the second Trump administration is the open and seething contempt that his Cabinet officials have for Congress. They don't see elected officials or their oversight function as legitimate.

Broadview police chief accuses ICE agents of making false 911 calls

October 2, 2025 / 10:25 PM CDT / CBS Chicago

Broadview village officials sent a strong message to the feds this week. They do not want U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operating its detention center in their town.

On Thursday, Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills said ICE agents are draining the resources of his department and the community by making false 911 calls.

Body camera video footage obtained by the CBS News Chicago Investigators shows several Broadview officers responding to a 911 call claiming someone was tampering with a gate at the ICE detention facility.

The gate in question is where ICE takes detained immigrants for processing, but when police arrived, all they found was two people and a camera. A CBS News Chicago photographer was filming the exterior of the building, with a CBS security guard by his side.

The 911 call from an ICE agent claimed someone was tampering with the gate.

But now he’s refusing to do the same for Democratic representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

Interesting use of the passive voice you've got there, CNN..
Angry goose meme where in the first panel the goose says "“Adults and children alike were pulled from their Chicago apartments" then in the second panel the goose is chasing the person angrily saying "WHO PULLED THEM, CNN?".
