I hear the ICE pigs had their tires slashed in Pasadena, then the tow truck service showed up to repair ICE's tires but the crowd convinced the tow truck driver to turn around, so ICE was out there trying to inflate their tires and duct tape them to escape after the hotel asked them to leave.

Never forget that the same man who called the January 6th insurrection a “beautiful day of love” and refused to lift a finger for 187 minutes to stop the horror unleashed on our Capitol has deployed the National Guard to intervene in Los Angeles to “address the lawlessness in California.”

ICE arrested former Afghan Nat'l Army soldier—our ally against Taliban—at his home in TX. He entered legally and atty says he has no criminal record. Was applying for asylum. Appears to be casualty of Trump decision de-documenting legal Afghan immigrants www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

Yunseo Chung, the Columbia student and green-card holder who has been in hiding since ICE tried to disappear her in March, wins sweeping order preventing her arrest and detention. She becomes the first of these pro-Palestinian advocates to circumvent the Trump administration policy to deport them.

Second half of immigration court hearings have begun at 55 Monroe in Chicago. We can't film inside or are kicked out. Before lunch, we watched ICE take a half dozen people into custody after DHS dismissed their cases. It's happening in courthouses all over, including NYC at this exact moment.
