More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

We also discussed my roots being deep here in Colorado. This is the home my husband and I chose almost 30 years ago and the only home my kids have ever known. It’s where my family, friends, and those I love who need real representation are. It’s why I’m running.

MTG slams the Trump administration for bailing out Argentina:

“Americans are getting decimated by the high cost of living and skyrocketing insurance costs… Tell me how it’s ‘America First’ to bail out a foreign country with $20 or even $40 BILLION in taxpayer dollars.”

These aren’t “kids,” JD.
A screenshot of an X.com post by @BulwarkOnline , The Bulwark, posted 7 hours ago, quoting JD Vance on public outrage over an "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do." The post includes a video still from "Real America's Voice" featuring JD Vance, Vice President of the United States, speaking at a podium with an American flag in the background, alongside the "Charlie Kirk" logo.

When the Supreme Court recently allowed immigration agents in the Los Angeles area to take race into consideration during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn't be concerned. "If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States," Kavanaugh wrote, "they promptly let the individual go." But that is far from the reality many citizens have experienced. Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They've had their necks kneeled on. They've been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. One of those women had already had the door of her home blown off while Department of

Popok: It was no more complicated than that, everybody. It was $50,000 shoved into a restaurant takeout bag.

Popok breaks down the simplicity of the Tom Homan scandal. No offshore accounts or complex schemes, just cash posing as a payoff.

Bondi on Fox:
"People protesting immigration enforcement raids were members of what she described as “organized crime” syndicates.

“They are no different than [notoriously violent El Salvadorean gang] MS-13,” she said.

can you imagine? The AG of the US equates peaceful protest w/ organized crime.
