ICE Just Bet Your Freedom on a Racial Profile
The Supreme Court handed down a decision in September that should terrify anyone who thinks showing an ID means they belong here. In Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo, the Court's conservative majority allowed federal immigration agents to resume raids across Los Angeles after a lower court tried to stop them from targeting people based on race, language, workplace, and location alone. The Fourth Amendment requires reasonable suspicion before law enforcement can detain you. That means

Stripping a War Hero's Pension for Daring to Speak
Senator Mark Kelly, the combat-tested Navy captain turned Arizona senator, has launched a blistering 46-page federal lawsuit against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Pentagon, exposing what can only be described as a brazen, vindictive power grab by the Trump administration. This isn't justice—it's a political hit job, a chilling warning shot fired across the bow of any veteran or lawmaker daring to speak truth to power. In a move reeking of authoritarian overreach, Heg

How Trump’s ICE War Turns Paper “Warrants” into Weapons Against U.S. Citizens
Minnesota is living the future that so many Americans still think could never happen here. The president of the United States has singled out one state on his social media megaphone and promised a “day of reckoning and retribution,” even as his immigration agents tear through neighborhoods with paperwork that looks like a warrant but is not. In Minneapolis, people are learning the hard way that the difference between a judge’s signature and an ICE form can be the difference b

The Traumatic Little Boy Inside Stephen Miller
Stephen Miller is the man who looks like every mall Santa’s lawyer, if that lawyer’s specialty was getting kids deported for crying in line. He is best known not for one bad policy or one ugly soundbite, but for a sustained, years‑long crusade to turn the immigration system into a weapon, especially against Latino families who dared to believe that “land of opportunity” was a promise and not a legally unenforceable slogan. He is the human embodiment of the “Do Not Enter” sign

In Congress, Swear Words Matter More Than Dead Mothers
Representative Jasmine Crockett stood during a House Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday and let it rip. "It is so hard to sit here sometimes because I didn't come to Congress to write laws or to do things that are hurting people," Crockett said. "I'm asking if there's any decency or heart or courage on that side of the aisle. The fact that a woman was killed, she was shot in her head, and y'all are pretending like nothing happened." The Texas Democrat wasn't finished. "I re

Texas Surrenders 18 Million Voter Records to Federal Government Without a Fight
Texas handed over the personal information of every registered voter in the state to the Trump administration's Justice Department on December 23. Dates of birth, driver's license numbers, and partial Social Security numbers for 18.4 million Texans now sit in federal files. Secretary of State Jane Nelson's office confirmed the transfer last week, framing compliance as routine cooperation rather than capitulation. Twenty-three states have been sued by the Justice Department fo

A Reality Check For A Country On Edge
Minnesota is standing in that classic fault line right now, where the state line meets the federal boot, and a governor is quietly getting his Guard ready, not for a hurricane or a blizzard, but for Washington’s own agents on his streets. That alone tells you how far this immigration “crackdown” has gone off the rails, and how willing this administration is to turn blue states and brown bodies into props in a national show of force. In south Minneapolis, ICE didn’t just show

Federal Agent Kills Minneapolis Woman During Immigration Raid
ICE claimed thirty-two lives in 2025, the agency's highest death toll in over twenty years. Seven days into 2026, another civilian is dead. A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot a 37-year-old woman in the head Wednesday morning in south Minneapolis. She died hours later at a local hospital. The woman has been identified by family as Renee Nicole Good. Federal officials claim self-defense. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara says otherwise. That discrepancy i
