I have obtained new nonpublic data from ICE that shows that 2/3 of the people it had booked into detention facilities this fiscal year had no criminal convictions at all. Less than 7% have violent convictions. Most convictions were for immigration, traffic, and vice offenses.

Immigration is what made America great. If they want to “make America great again” they should understand this.

Secretary Noem loves dressing up in costume and pretending like everything is reality TV, but the fact of the matter is Senator Padilla clearly identified himself and should not have been thrown to the ground and detained. Even Corey Lewandowski knows that.

Arresting a 17-year-old on his way to volleyball practice, here since age 5, or a Missouri mom of three at a routine check-in after 20 years in the U.S.—this isn't justice, it's cruelty. And, yes, ICE agents should be ashamed of themselves.

I know it's hard for the Trump Administration to apologize for its unlawful deportation schemes. Trust me, I get it. I too have a toddler who tells me she didn't eat the cookies when having her face covered in chocolate.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

The American public understands the difference between being deported and being sent to a foreign prison. Right now, a mass murderer in a maximum security American prison has more rights than the people being sent to CECOT for a lifetime sentence.

The Social Security Administration is now wrongly informing some SSI recipients they are no longer receiving benefits. This comes as agency cuts have led to repeated website crashes and overwhelmed phone lines. This is what DOGE's "efficiency" looks like.

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down. Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

If Trump & Musk have suffered an unprecedented number of judicial injunctions, it is because they have committed an unprecedented number of illegal actions. We don’t have rogue district judges, we have a rogue president violating the Constitution & breaking the law every day. Watch my statement:

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.
