I just witnessed an active duty Air Force
major arrested on the steps of the Capitol Building, just minutes after he told me that he expected to be arrested for his peaceful protest against the Trump administration. ✊ The true criminals are, and always have been, Trump and his treasonous administration.

At prosecutor Jack Smith's senate hearing, Eric Schmitt accused him of lying about where he's been. But the senator had his facts wrong, and Cory Booker had heard enough.

The Justice Department is going to see sanctions and consequences for their criminal tampering in the Broadview Six case! We all know there was no crime by the protesters and the ICE agents were the aggressors. Now Judge April Perry is demanding they turn over evidence for investigation.

ICE is full of overly aggressive men. Watch this protester describe being shoved by an armed man who towered over her. There is no excuse. ICE agents need consequences for criminal behavior.

Community members from across the Chicagoland area gathered outside the ICE detention facility for a protest and candlelight vigil marking one year since the community mobilized against Operation Midway Blitz. The gathering honored immigrants affected by federal immigration enforcement and remembered the families torn apart during recent ICE operations. Speakers reflected on the past year, sharing personal stories of the ongoing federal immigration operations and their impact on families and communities. At the facility’s entrance, organizers created a makeshift memorial of more than 200 handmade tombstones, each representing a person who died in U.S. immigration custody or during an encounter with ICE. Together, the memorial and vigil transformed the facility’s entrance into a solemn site of remembrance and collective mourning.

He spoke at a press conference about the civil lawsuit he filed a lawsuit against Adam Saracco, the ICE agent who recently pleaded guilty to battery for his attack against Held last December.

Chicago Council of Lawyers has continued to advocate for accountability, due process, and adherence to the rule of law in connection with federal immigration enforcement activities.

The MAGA government has made Donald Trump billions, but for the rest of us, things haven't gotten "greater." 60% of Americans think the economy is "unfair" and they're right - it's rigged!
