"ICE agents have kidnapped a 5-year-old child to use him as “bait” to arrest his parents. The child and his father are now in a detention center in Texas, although no one knows their exact whereabouts. They were in America legally."

Seriously, what can we do about the fascist now loose upon America?

We’re in a far more dangerous and violent stage of Trump’s regime. What should we do to stop it?

^{Robert Reich}

"This is only the latest cruel outrage I’ve heard about. All this is being done in our name — the United States of America — with our authority, our tax dollars, and, seemingly, our acquiescence."

"A family-commissioned autopsy found that Renee Good was shot three times—including a fatal head wound—by an officer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during a Minneapolis encounter, sharply contradicting federal claims of self-defense from the Department of Homeland Security and prompting an ongoing investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation amid criticism from state and local leaders."

Important Update: ICE Begins Detaining Children and Using Them as "Bait" to Detain Family Members as Constitutional Concerns Emerge

Good morning, everyone.

^{Aaron Parnas (The Parnas Perspective)}

"Federal immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to forcibly enter people’s homes without a judge’s warrant, according to an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo obtained by The Associated Press, marking a sharp reversal of longstanding guidance meant to respect constitutional limits on government searches."

"This [i.e., ICE breaking into homes without a valid warrant] is a deeply disturbing development and one we’ll be following closely. It is such a departure from established Fourth Amendment rules that it’s perilously close to open disregard for constitutional rights."

ICE Says It Doesn't Need A Judicial Warrant

It’s been a long time since we took a night off.

^{Joyce Vance (Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance)}

"Vance is visiting the Twin Cities today, and they’ve launched a new operation in Maine. For in their collective madness this will to power, this need to feel their boot on our neck, their seizing of Gaza and Venezuela - all of it has become the central project of the regime. It is not about what is good for the country. It is about more and more power and control."

Appeasement Never Works, Only Strength - Lessons From An Ugly Week (New Video, Analysis)

"The recent death of a detainee [Geraldo Lunas Campos] at an immigrant detention camp in Texas has been officially deemed a homicide, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday by the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner."

“'Based on the investigative and examination findings, it is my opinion that the cause of death is asphyxia due to neck and torso compression,' Adam C. Gonzalez, deputy medical examiner for El Paso County, said in the report. 'The manner of death is homicide.'”

"Lunas Campos died of asphyxiation after guards put pressure on his neck and chest during an altercation during which Lunas Campos asked for his medication. Two detainees testified that they saw guards choking Lunas Campos, who repeatedly told them he couldn’t breathe. The Trump administration has since tried to deport the two witnesses."

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this morning, a visibly exhausted president of the United States of America rambled in angry free association in a speech before the world’s leaders.

"Trump’s approval on immigration has dropped to 44% approve / 53% disapprove (net -9), and his deportation policy is at 42% / 54% (net -12). Border security remains his only positive issue at 50% / 46% (net +4). Trump’s numbers on all three have declined since our last poll in October, 2025."

New poll: Trump loses ground on immigration; Dems lead 2026 House vote by 8 points

The new Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll finds Democrats start 2026 with their biggest lead yet on the 2026 House vote, while Trump approval sinks on immigration, deportations, and public safety

^{G. Elliott Morris (Strength In Numbers)}

“New research concludes the Trump administration’s policies will reduce legal immigration to the United States by 33% to 50% over four years. Restricting Americans’ ability to sponsor their closest family members will be the administration’s primary way to lower legal immigration."

A blockbuster whistleblower complaint reveals the secret internal ICE memo behind the brutal forced home entries we are seeing.

"It suggests a conspiracy within ICE leadership to deprive people of their civil rights—all while hiding the evidence, in the form of a written departmental memo, purporting to authorize the conduct."

"Push the narrative, especially the narrative not just of the horrors, which is important for people to view, but also the narrative and the actions on the side of the people who are standing with and for each other, who are pitching in for their neighbors, who are actually standing up mutual aid and street by street, block by block ICE watches. We also need to be telling the story of the good people, the heroes."
