Passionate writing here about these dangerous times: “America is not the plot you own or the ancestry you claim; it is what you are and what you strive to become. Citizenship is not about where you live in America or how long you’ve lived in America. It is about how you live in America.”

“Is purging America of immigrants so crucial that in the process you must unmake America itself? Or is this how you intend to denaturalize me — by turning the country I joined into one I cannot recognize?” our columnist Carlos Lozada writes.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

One hour and 45 minutes of incoherent, self-aggrandizing nonsense. The wheels are off the cart. And finally reporters are giving it to us straight.
President Trump made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room to mark his first year in office, delivering a rambling, unfiltered monologue that previewed a second year shaped by few constraints.
