And yet the Trump administration is killing higher education in the name of antisemitism. I guess they figure the Hitler-loving, Nazi kind isn't really a problem.

Klippenstein: To what extent it’s going to activate what are called Joint Terrorism Task Forces?

The military is really limited in terms of what they can do.

But these Joint Terrorism Task Forces don’t have those limitations. They can do and go places the military can’t.

Himes: You know, it's the Pete Hegseth insecurity that requires a constant marination in testosterone and fraternity-boy macho bullshit that, at the end of the day, would be funny if it weren't both lethal and counterproductive to actually dealing with the nation's drug problem.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

Ticketing a lawful permanent resident for not carrying their papers is unnecessary and doesn't make our cities safer.

We will continue to push back against the Trump administration's cruel attempts to stoke fear in immigrant communities.

ICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: ‘It’s not fair…I’m a resident’

Under federal law, registered foreign nationals must carry proof of registration with them at all times. But prior to a second Trump administration, it was rarely enforced.
