This story is wild. As far as I can tell from the body camera clips I watched, the footage shows MPD special operations strategizing their forcible entry into private property without a warrant, based on the say-so of a political appointee with nothing more than a stack of print outs.

Estefany RodrΓ­guez, a journalist for a Spanish-language outlet, was covering immigration raids. The next day, agents arrested her without a warrant.

BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noem’s effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.

Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.

Haiti TPS is safe for now.

Border Patrol is detaining another US citizen and lying about it.

She’s part of a group of citizens and green card holders who have been disappeared after their travel plans were disrupted.

This bears repeating.

Dr. Casey Means is not eligible for the position as Surgeon General. The position requires experience in public health programs & entry into regular corps. She has done neither.

You can take action by sending a letter to your senator.

Update from Reed Showalter, who's at Broadview

"The Cook County Sheriff claims that they searched the facility and that Naqvi is not there. They also have no record that her phone is there. But there has been no actual search for her phone within the Broadview ICE Detention Center."

Afzul said her sister and her five coworkers were returning from Turkey after a work trip to India was canceled. She traveled to Bulgaria and Austria before flying back to Chicago on Thursday

CBP detained her for "irregular travel history," Afzul said.

Imagine being a US service member - or a member of a military family - in harm’s way right now thanks to Trump, and watching him refuse to answer a reporter's question about Russia helping Iran kill Americans because they dared to ask during a college sports roundtable on the sixth day of the war.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

PM Meloni: Italy will not enter into a direct conflict against Iran. Our absolute priority is de-escalation and peace, not fueling a regional fire that would be devastating for everyone. The air bases on our territory are used for logistics and support, not as launch platforms for offensive actions

How a State Domestic Terrorism Law Has Boosted the White House’s Texas β€˜Antifa’ Crackdown This article is part of TPM’s ongoing β€œCreating the Enemy Within” project,...

As the Trump administration pushes to bring anti-Trump activists up on terrorism charges, it’s finding that Texas has already cleared a path. State prosecutors are using a 2023 anti-terrorism law to investigate and charge what the Trump administration has deemed an β€œAntifa cell.”

These are war crimes, violations of the Geneva Conventions.

Increasingly I think we should turn the whole Trump cabinet over to the ICC to be tried at The Hague.

LA City Council’s City President Marqueece Harris-Dawson says he has been pulled over four times while a member of the council; the most recent was this week. He missed a committee meeting because of the stop, according to him.

Among the questions: β€œhow do you have this vehicle,” according to him.

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship The Geneva Conventions say nations have a duty to β€œtake all possible measures” to help rescue victims of shipwrecks. A U.S. submarine left that to Sri Lanka.

β€œThe 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”

US senator seeks perjury investigation into Kristi Noem over DHS spending Senator Richard Blumenthal alleges the ousted DHS secretary lied to Congress about the agency’s contracts

"Her firing doesn’t absolve her or relieve her of potential liability for perjury,” he said. β€œWe are going to pursue an investigation of the evidence that she lied, because it relates to corruption in the administration.”
