Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

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've lived downtown for nearly two decades. It's truly a mystery why locals are hesitant to come to a place with drunk, bigoted tourists, no places to sit, constant police surveillance and, sometimes, pepper balls if the cops don't like the look of your group. Just a total enigma. #avlgov

Ana, like many immigrant women farmworkers, has faced discrimination on the job — including threats of deportation.

Her message to other immigrant farmworkers is clear: Do not be afraid. When we raise our voices, anything is possible.

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.

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in
