In St. Paul, Minnesota, federal immigration agents detained U.S. citizen ChongLy Thao at gunpoint in his home without a warrant, leading him outside in his underwear in freezing temperatures.

Although the Department of Homeland Security claims they were searching for sex offenders, Thao and his family deny this and are planning a civil rights lawsuit.

Greenland Leader Tells People to Prepare for Possible Invasion is an incredibly disturbing situation, even to consider. The very idea of the US contemplating an invasion of a NATO ally, especially one like Greenland, is frankly appalling. It raises serious questions about the checks and balances within the US government and why more people aren’t taking decisive action. It’s a stark reminder of the potential consequences when leadership appears to be acting with impunity.
The potential invasion scenario is playing out against the backdrop of a deeply polarized nation. The political landscape is fractured, and the reactions to such a prospect seem to vary wildly, often along partisan lines.… Continue reading
According to AP News, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., declined to temporarily block the Trump administration’s new policy requiring a week’s notice before congressional visits to immigration detention facilities.
