George Retes is an American citizen and veteran who was unjustly pepper-sprayed, arrested, and imprisoned for three days by ICE.

Yet he won't be intimidated by this lawless administration. He's speaking up and telling his story as part of a new $250k @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social campaign. 👇

This would be news to the Coast Guard that's been conducting interdictions on go-fasts as of a day or two ago......just like they've been doing the whole time we've been blowing up fishing boats

Shocking footage out of Minneapolis emerges as activists on the ground report ICE is pulling people out of their cars simply because they look Somali:

The Trump administration's plan to increase ICE's presence in Minneapolis and St. Paul has sparked concerns among local leaders and residents. Critics argue it amounts to racial profiling, violating d...

The thing about this. The dismissal of “air conditioned offices”. Is that Pete Hegseth never went to airborne school. Never went to air assault. Never attempted a ranger tab. Never served as a company commander.

These are uncomfortable, non-air conditioned gates that every infantry officer passes.
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?

HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.

If your naturalization case is or will be put on hold by this, especially after the interview, go see an immigration lawyer now.

Naturalization is not discretionary, and federal judges have a unique role in deciding delayed naturalization cases.
The Trump admin has paused all immigration and naturalization processes for people from one of the 19 travel ban countries; including Cuba and Venezuela.

Even people who fully passed the citizenship exam are having their cases put on hold, just inches from the finish line.
Scoop: The Trump administration has paused all immigration applications filed by people from 19 countries banned from travel to the United States earlier this year, halting green card and U.S. citizenship processing for broad swaths of people.

More coming soon.

I am sorry but every time Joe Biden closed his eyes in a meeting it was a 36-hour international news story, and the media consensus is that they didn't cover it enough!
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

This person who openly advocates war crimes, who lobbied for pardons for war criminals, and repeatedly disdains the laws and ethics of war, the one we confirmed as Secretary of Defense, turns out to have done war crimes. Shocking!
