New at @theunpopulist.net: I sat down with @joshchafetz.bsky.social to talk through what Congress can and should do about... *gestures broadly* all this, including if Dems retake one or both houses. Subpoenas, appropriations, impeachments, and Article I galore.

This 20 year old citizen, Mobashir was tackled, brutalized & abducted by #ICE.
"I felt like I was getting assaulted. I was getting kidnapped. And that’s exactly what it was,” he said.
He poses this question: If this #ICELawlessness is happening on camera, what's happening off camera?

The Trump admin is again attempting to dismantle legal protections for migrant children that jeopardize their health.
These same protections were designed to prevent what we’re seeing: hundreds of kids held alone in inhumane conditions for prolonged periods.
This is a new low, even for Noem’s DHS.

A Dec. 1 report from ICE indicated that about 400 immigrant children were held in custody for more than the 20-day limit during the reporting period from August to September. Legal advocates say the government is failing to safeguard children.
