As our attention is distracted by war, ICE is detaining US citizens at O'Hare and shipping them off to undisclosed prisons.
Seemingly because they have foreign-sounding names and had visited the Middle East.
They've now been released, but this is outrageous.
The Justice Department forced the Florida Bar to drop its probe. The Florida Bar said today it is no longer investigating former Justice Department attorney Lindsey Halligan, reversing an earlier statement that a review was underway
Trump's DOJ launched investigations and prosecutions against his political opponents, often following direct threats from the president himself on social media. A multi-story banner of his face now hangs on the Justice Department building.
It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.
Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.
Scapegoated her, the fish rots from the head down
Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I don’t know how this could happen.
Nashville Noticias staffer Estefany Rodríguez was detained by ICE in South Nashville on Wednesday morning. There was no warrant for her arrest. Her attorneys have filed an emergency petition in federal court seeking a writ of habeas corpus, or an immediate review of whether or not her detention is legal. Rodríguez, who was in the car with her husband — a U.S. citizen — has been following all the legal steps to citizenship. In her job, Rodríguez has reported several stories that hold ICE accountable, and it’s unclear whether her detention was retaliation. As of Thursday afternoon, she was in Alabama en route to an ICE processing center in Louisiana.
Something I don’t think can be emphasized enough is how fast ICE is shipping the people they detain off to another state. “Move fast and break things” but for people in potentially life or death situations. nashvillebanner.com/2026/03/05/j...

"Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces...
Russia has passed Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships and aircraft...
'It does seem like it’s a pretty comprehensive effort,'" an official said.

Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”
Is that code for complete douchebag
“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“
A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

A little reported fact is that the Iranian frigate destroyed 2000 miles from the combat zone was carrying ZERO AMMUNITION (a condition of the exercise it was invited to participate in).
The ship was, by any definition, defenceless.
Much like the 80+ sailors left to drown.
Infamy.
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday.
Damas came to the U.S. from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custody—the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Center—he died from complications from a tooth infection.
A tooth infection.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

A photo of a blue Global X plane seen from a distance with a bus and five white vans in front of it.
FORTY-SEVEN NEIGHBORS shackled and loaded onto this Global X ICE flight today at Baltimore’s BWI.
There are four ICE flights a week now taking our Maryland neighbors to detention centers down South.
You have to watch this.
The measles outbreaks we are seeing are not “routine”.
These people genuinely want to see kids get sick. They do not care about their daughter’s baby or their neighbor’s kid with cancer.
No. They must be right and they will contort themselves in any manner they need in order to defend their lies.
An aerial photo shows three diggers excavating the ground for graves. More than 65 graves are already dug. Those not yet dug are marked out by chalk.
Not a single US newspaper will publish this photo. No news channel will broadcast it.
The graves are being prepared for more than 80 young children killed in the US/Israeli strike on the school in Minab, Iran on Saturday.

This is a 1200-word column abt Trump's makebelieve negotiations, and it doesn't mention either Kushner or Witkoff.
New reports are more than 100 Iranian schoolgirls are dead after Israeli & US bombs hit their school as classes began.
These fascists want you to believe they are the good guys for mass murdering Iranian children.
They were children. In school. And now they’re dead because of Trump & Netanyahu.
If Trump wants to destroy Iran he just needs to go there and be their president for a year. 🔄
