This weekend, three men in Evanston hugged their families goodbye to look for work at Home Depot but were attacked by ICE before they could return home.

Two were abducted, one is petrified of leaving the home.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

An honor to receive the endorsement of

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

Sadists. Truly sick people.

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

1. Last night, John Oliver destroyed Bari Weiss and specifically called out her inaccurate and targeted coverage of transgender people.

It's the latest of several shows Oliver has done in defense of trans people.

Weiss at CBS is a disaster for trans people.
