ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

There's no amount of water-carrying for Trump that can shield you from a humiliating end. Kristi Noem defended the regime to the point where she went on TV to disparage two people who were shot and killed by federal agents for no reason and this is the thanks she gets. Good riddance!

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

What happens when ICE detains you? Columbia court interpreter found out when her brother was taken. We’ve seen videos of ICE detaining people across the country β€” but what happens after? We spoke with two families about their experiences.

Trump voters' loved ones getting detained by ICE is pretty routine now unfortunately, but this story also has an incredible detail: This woman's brother was detained during Trump's first term too. And they all voted for him again. www.postandcourier.com/columbia/new... me.

It disrespected Jordan and Lindo, who were forced to absorb the ugliest word in Black history in front of a crowd and cameras. It exposed Davidson β€” and, by extension, the Tourette’s community β€” to a tidal wave of backlash rooted in misunderstanding. It handed bad-faith actors a weapon to swing at both Black viewers and disabled people.
