Internet pro tip! Sometimes people will make wry observations about current events without specifically naming the event or linking to a complete explanation. While this may be alarming, responding "huh?" will not solve the problem

To clarify, ORR is the parent agency for all detention facilities that hold unaccompanied immigrant kids in the US, separate from their refugee work. Trump changed the rules for families to get their kids out of detention, making it nearly impossible, so this family is in trouble. This is awful.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

She was tackled by ICE on her way to work & is now suing Trump’s government. This outrageous stuff is happening across Chicago. Thanks to vigilant residents who capture it on video as happened here, the rest of us can see how out of control ICE truly is.
www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/14/w...

Debbie Brockman, a WGN-TV producer violently arrested by ICE Friday morning in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of Chicago, has retained an attorney and intends to "pursue all legal avenues available" to hold federal authorities accountable, according to a news release Tuesday.
Brockman and her legal team
"adamantly deny" allegations that she assaulted federal officers during an immigration enforcement action, according to the release. They assert she was simply walking to the bus stop on her way to work when she was attacked by Border Patrol agents.

So much wrong with it, but one of the problems with these attacks on boats in the Caribbean is that the announcement doesn’t come from a government agency, it comes from the social media app owned by the president.

Stop with the supplements. They're not regulated, and most don't do for you what you think they do.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 11h

A number of popular protein supplements contain levels of lead that could pose health concerns, according to a new report that tested samples of 23 powders and shakes.

Report Finds Lead in Naked Protein Powders and Other Popular Brands

Experts said the levels were not high enough to cause immediate harm, but raised the risk of long-term health effects.

In a WIN for Indiana students, a federal court denies the state's request to dismiss a pro-voting lawsuit challenging a ban on the use of student IDs for voting. The court said pro-voting groups have reasonably shown that the law was motivated by unconstitutional intentional age discrimination.
