The dominoes are falling in place, but we must keep up the pressure!

Tell Congress that impeaching Kristi Noem is just the beginning, and we expect them to get behind it now:

Missed this a few days ago:

Two U.S. citizens grabbed by ICE say there were cells reserved for Americans.

Also, they weren’t given medical attention or allowed to go to the bathroom.

This Douthat column suggests there's some softer version of mass deportations out there, but again, there isn't. The violence and brutality are of necessity embedded in the policy agenda itself, as I try to argue (see piece and thread below):

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

It’s hard to overstate the destructive impact of Trump invading and taking over Greenland. It would end NATO, destroy our relationships with virtually every NATO country and lead to the further unraveling of the many economic benefits that now accrue to the US as the world abandons Trump’s America.

Trump has lost ~10% in approval in his first year, to ~41%. Obviously the least committed supporters flake off first, so it this pace probably won't continue. But if he declines at half this rate until Nov. 2026, he'd be at ~37%. That would lead to a wave election, and the Senate would be in play.

The State Dep't Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs today posted that detaining people "for 'liking' posts online shows how paranoid [an] illegitimate" regime is, referring to "political prisoners."

On Friday, a fed'l judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit over State taking similar actions in the U.S.
Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs & © @WHAAsstSecty Detaining Nicaraguans for "liking" posts online shows how paranoid the illegitimate Murillo and Ortega regime is. We demand the unconditional release of all political prisoners— no exceptions, no house arrest, no new arrests. Freedom means ending the regime's cycle of repression. #LibertadYa 11:23 AM • Jan 17, 2026 • 91.6K Views Plaintiffs Stanford Daily Publishing Corporation, along with Jane Doe and John Doe, noncitizen students holding F-1 visas issued by the United States, filed an amended complaint alleging claims under the First and Fifth Amendments against Marco Rubio, in his official capacity as Secretary of State, and Kristi Noem, in her official capacity as Secretary of Homeland Security (together, the "Government"). First Am. Compl., ECF No. 65 ("FAC"). Jane Doe and John Doe allege that since March 2025, the Government has changed its immigration policy and pattern of enforcement, namely arresting, detaining, and deporting students with F-1 visas when those students voice opinions that express support or empathy for Palestinian people or are critical of Israel's actions regarding Palestine or the conflict in Gaza. Because Jane Doe and John Doe fear that the Government will revoke their visas and deport them for expressing views that the Government may now deem "anti-American or anti-Israel," Jane Doe and John Doe have self-censored. FAC I2. They have stopped exercising their First Amendment rights when it comes to the subject of Israel and Palestine, including publishing commentary online. They have also changed their social media practices and have avoided wearing clothing that indicates a pro-Palestinian view. Similarly, Stanford Daily Publishing ("Stanford Daily"), the parent company of campus newspaper The Stanford Daily, fears for its student journalists. Noncitizen student-journalists who hold valid F-1 visas - and are therefore lawfully present in the United States - are asking Stanford Daily to take down their previously published articles about Israel and Palestine. And although they have already expended considerable effort investigating and writing new articles about the Israel-Palestine conflict, noncitizen student-journalists are choosing not to publish those articles because they are afraid the Government will revoke their visas and deport them. In their amended complaint, Plaintiffs point to the news of Mahmoud Khalil, Rümeysa Öztürk, Mohsen Mahdawi, and other students lawfully in the United States who expressed opinions about Israel and Palestine; the Government then arrested, detained, and transferred those students to immigration jails. Plaintiffs quote public statements by Secretary of State Rubio and the President, including comments he made prior to being elected, warning noncitizens that they will be deported if they express similar views. Plaintiffs argue that the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA") (8 U.S.C. §§ 1182(a)(3)(C)(iii), 1227(a)(4)(C)(i) and § 1201(i)) that the Government relies on for its authority to cancel student visas and initiate deportation proceedings, are facially unconstitutional. Plaintiffs bring eight claims under the First and Fifth Amendments for declaratory and injunctive relief. See FAC. The Government now moves to dismiss Plaintiffs' complaint solely for lack of standing. Mot. to Dismiss, ECF No. 66. The matter is fully briefed, and the Court held a hearing on January 6, 2026. ECF Nos. 66, 67, and 68. The Court DENIES the Government's motion to dismiss.
