ICE is arresting husbands & wives at their final green card interviews
They’re going to the immigration meeting to complete the final step in the legal process and leaving in handcuffs
One man had to take his crying infant from his wife’s arms as ICE forcibly detained her
This is cruel entrapment

Tag yourself, I'm "Factor Fexcectorn" (sounds like a minor Thomas Pynchon character)
Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

It's terrible to feel like your kids are unsafe. Imagine if there was a vanload of 'roid-raging gun-wielding thugs in riot gear tear-gassing their Halloween parade and raiding schools and daycares and dragging teachers and parents away in front of them. Do you feel bad for those kids, Katie Miller?

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

God I want to see a million “Dems demanding new leadership” articles today, I want it to be a narrative Schumer can’t escape
Democrats are demanding new leadership after Schumer failed to stop a GOP-backed funding deal that doesn't guarantee continued health care subsidies. Progressives like Ro Khanna blasted him for giving in and warned premiums could soar as a result.
Democrats Call for New Leadership After Schumer Caves on “Terrible” GOP Deal
“If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing … what will you fight for?” said Ro Khanna.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

When there is no ballistic evidence, no damage from gunfire, no injuries, & DHS isn’t providing video evidence of the claim from their agents that someone fired shots, then I am going to call bullshit based on the 2 months of fabricated stories by federal officials that have been debunked by videos.
This is the most comprehensive reporting released on the DHS-alleged shooting so far. Read the entire story (reminder: reporters don't usually choose headlines).
For folks asking if it's true an ICE agent was shot: no, that is a verifiably false rumor. No injuries. A lot else remains in question.

If the pattern follows B-18 here in LA, DHS is clearing out Broadview to hide the human rights abuses.
The magistrate will visit an empty facility.
And three days later DHS will have it packed again.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Photo sent to me from a faith leader on the ground outside the Broadview ICE detention center this morning shows several buses now parked outside the facility.
This, the leader says, is an unusual occurrence.
Also: a magistrate is set to visit the facility next week.

As best as we can tell this morning—after terrorizing Back of the Yards, Border Patrol rolled through Cicero again (reports of potential abductions at the Metra station there, unclear on time, also vehicles seen at Cermak & Cicero) and then quickly up to this Home Depot at Cicero and Armitage:
a large border patrol presence around 10 a.m. outside a home depot in chicago's belmont cragin neighborhood.
photo + video posted to social media show multiple masked agents approaching a person on a street corner and later forcing someone to the ground.
looks like at least 2 people were detained.

jesus christ man, we can’t ever get used to this and normalize it.
A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.
