JUST IN: Columbia student Ellie Aghayeva has been released after agents allegedly used false pretenses to enter her dorm. Mamdani says he raised her case with Trump today. Agents reportedly claimed they were searching for a missing person, without a judicial warrant.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Trump lies like he breathes. But you knew that. Anyway, this article lists some recent lies. www.cbc.ca/news/world/d...

Representative Pat Ryan speaking in tiny Chester, NY where hundreds gathered to let Trump, Noem and the other fascists know that we will not let an ICE detention warehouse in our community. Stay away from our neighbors. He's reminding us that Noem has to go. And that's just the beginning.

Thousands protest ICE. NY, CT Rivers freeze in solidarity.

Chester, NY is a tiny town in farm country where ICE has proposed converting a vacant warehouse into a concentration camp. Tonight hundreds of people turned out in 12-degree (F) weather to protest. Thanks to organizers and to Congressman Pat Ryan for braving the cold to stand in solidarity.

Did Hudson, NY show up for the national #IceOut protest in the teeth of a -10-25 windchill warning? Why yes we did. And if my phone hadn’t frozen I could show you the sign carried by the seven-year-old that said ICE NO LOVE YES Dangerous to cry when it’s minus zero. I’m the one on the right.

Here's a protest against proposed ICE facility in the village of Chester, NY where it is currently a balmy 14 degrees. #ICEOUT

The anti-ICE/CBP rally in Chicago's Daley Plaza has grown significantly in just the last half hour. The crowd is spilling out into street; I'd say there's over a thousand people here at this point.

The rally has taken the street, heading east toward Lake Michigan. The marchers are carrying a huge banner that reads, "Defend Democracy It's time for a general strike!"

Trump’s Republicans are doing everything they told us the Democrats would do. Every accusation is a confession.

Lady Gaga condemned ICE during her concert in Tokyo on January 29th. She delivered a passionate, heartfelt speech about the agency targeting children and families all across America, saying her heart was aching for those affected by federal immigration raids. She dedicated this song to them. 💔💔

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was murdered today....by I.C.E. agents..

Of course!💙

Five years ago today, Trump summoned a mob to Washington, DC for a “protest” on Jan. 6, 2021, tweeting: “Be there, will be wild!” Rightwing extremists began planning for violence almost immediately. www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

Pretty crazy, it’s all about attention…

These habeas cases have absolutely flooded court dockets all over the country — I’ve regularly added more than 100 per day to my tracker — with exasperated judges pleading for binding guidance from the appeals courts that still could be weeks/months away. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Trump’s poll numbers are like Lindsey Halligan, they’re on the skids.

How much for Trump’s “free airplane” to remodel it to his gold standard? It won’t be ready until the end of his term. Will Trump put that expensive airplane in a museum of just keep it?

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org
