Not a single human being has ever said this

ICE notified sheriff of 46 ‘targets’ for planned arrests at Downtown courthouses last year, emails show Emails from ICE to the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office show how often the immigration enforcement agency sought ‘targets’ at the County Courthouse and Pittsburgh Municipal Court.

“ICE has been seen seizing victims and witnesses of crimes who were summoned to court – which has the problematic impact of deterring victims, witnesses and defendants from seeking assistance from the police and the legal system,” he said.

Trump has cut legal immigration more than illegal immigration, as I predicted. While illegal entries have fallen, they continued a prior trend, falling more before he came back. Meanwhile, Trump has drastically cut legal entries, reversing the prior upward trend. www.cato.org/blog/trump-h...

Donald Trump’s abuse of power and threats of a war crime and the destruction of the Iranian people merit the President’s removal from office. Congress should return to Washington at once to put a stop to this and bring our troops home.

The current 12-game Jeopardy champion works at an affordable housing finance agency in NJ, and shamed New York for not building more housing:
"NJ's doing really well, we're ahead of NY, CT, PA. If you're from one of those states, shame on you, build more housing."

Chart showing Average Daily ICE Arrests by Criminal Record, 7-Day Rolling Average, October 1, 2024 to March 5, 2026. The data shows that arrests of people with any prior conviction or any pending charge fluctuated between 300-400 a day from June 2025 to March 2026, never spiking much below or above that. By March, arrests of that group had fallen from 380 a day in June 2025 to around 300 a day in March 2025 Arrests of people with any pending charge have fluctuated between 250 and 375 a day. In June 2025 it was around 300 a day. As of March 2026, it is also around 300 a day. By contrast, arrests of people with no criminal record spiked to nearly 600 a day during the Los Angeles operation, and have consistently been above 350. Arrests of this group were above 500 a day from the start of Operation Midway Blitz in September through January. As of March 5, they had fallen to just over 400 a day.

The data we are getting out of ICE now conclusively destroys their "worst of the worst" narrative. Since the Los Angeles raids began in June last year, there has been a massive expansion of ICE arrests against people with no criminal record, while arrests of others remained flat.

An original Nashville sit-in member, along with Diane Nash, James Bevel, and John Lewis. Trained in non-violence by James Lawson. At age 21, he signed a will before the Freedom Rides, knowing he could die.

May his soul be at peace, and may we all have such courage in the face of oppression.

Think sales tax: "A single curbside parking space, roughly 20 feet long, can support 2 dining tables seating about 8 people total. If each diner spends a modest $30 and tables turn twice per evening, that space generates roughly $480 per night, or about $144,000 per year in gross restaurant revenue"

No, ICE isn’t ‘retreating.’ It’s loading up to invade your town. | Will Bunch A much-hyped ICE pullback from Minneapolis is a blip in a looming nationwide surge of arrests, concentration camps.

While MLPS was a victory, moral and tangibly, for ICE resisters, don't call it 'a retreat.' The dystopia is just getting started

Thousands of new agents. 150 new offices in every state. And the nationwide gulag archipelago. The fight has just begun
