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.

Peace in Gaza, however temporary, is obviously a massive relief, however it happened. But Trump's rewriting of history and all the fluffing from other leaders is hard to take. Good for him if his unique brand of corruption and threats led to something positive but this worship is too much.
