Do Not Fund DHS or ICE Until They Are Dismantled and Rebuilt Text SIGN PDPGSA to 50409 — Congress is now negotiating funding for the Department of Homeland Security under a short-term extension. This decision must be treated as a line in the sand. DHS — and especially Immigration and Customs Enforcement — must not receive further funding until these agencies are dismantled and rebuilt under clear constitutional, legal, and operational standards. Recent events make continued funding indefensible. Federal courts are now repeatedly intervening to stop DHS from acting unlawfully. This week, U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes halted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian immigrants, finding it substantially likely that DHS ignored statutory criteria and relied on ideology rather than facts and law. Congress created TPS specifically to prevent this kind of abuse — and DHS violated it anyway. At the same time, DHS enforcement has spiraled into open constitutional crisis. Masked federal agents conduct raids without judicial warrants. U.S. citizens and lawful residents have been illegally detained. People have been shot and killed by federal agents in public spaces. Families have been torn apart. Children have been jailed. Oversight has failed, and accountability is absent. The killings of civilians such as Renee Good and Alex Pretti are not anomalies; they are symptoms of an agency that operates with impunity. Investigations stall. Agents remain protected. Courts are ignored. This is not a failure of “training” or “messaging.” It is a structural breakdown. The system is now visibly collapsing under the weight of its own illegality. In Minnesota, a federal judge recently reprimanded the Department of Justice after ICE repeatedly ignored court orders to release unlawfully detained individuals. A federal prosecutor testified that forcing ICE to comply with basic judicial orders has required nonstop work in an already depleted office, describing a system so strained that compliance itself has become a crisis. Waves of resignations from U.S. Attorney’s Offices reflect the same reality: enforcing the law is becoming impossible when agencies refuse to follow it. Congress cannot continue funding agencies that defy courts, disregard statutes, and deploy armed agents who kill civilians without consequence. Short-term funding extensions and promises of incremental reform have not restrained this behavior — they have normalized it. The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse for a reason. That power exists to stop executive abuse when other checks fail. This is that moment. Congress must refuse to fund DHS and ICE in their current form. Funding should resume only after these agencies are dismantled and rebuilt with enforceable limits, judicial oversight, transparent identification, lawful procedures, and real accountability. A shutdown will be disruptive. But permanently financing lawlessness is far worse. Do not fund illegality. Do not reward violence. Use the budget to force real change.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

Evanston food drive overwhelms 'in the best possible way' as SNAP recipients face uncertainty Many waited more than an hour to drop off bags of groceries during a food drive at Evanston Township High School.

Chicagoland going for MVP:

“This is beyond anyone’s wildest imagination in the best possible way,” Khan said. “It’s overwhelmingly amazing, and we just want to make sure we get food to people who need it the most.”

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a threat to the health and wellbeing of every American. A United States Secretary of Health and Human Services is tasked with protecting the public health of our country and its people. At yesterday’s hearing, he chose to do the opposite: to dismiss science, mislead the public, sideline experts and sow confusion. None of us will be spared the pain he is inflicting. It doesn’t matter how rich or powerful you are or what state you live in— the heartbreak of watching a loved one fall ill knows no borders. The challenges before us—from disease outbreaks to mental health crises—demand moral clarity, scientific expertise, and leadership rooted in fact. Those values are not present in the Secretary’s office. He must resign.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution.

This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.
