"More than 20 members of Congress are demanding answers from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and homeland security officials after the Guardian revealed the VA is compiling a report on all non-US citizens 'employed by or affiliated with' the government agency that will then be shared with other federal agencies, including immigration authorities."

"Support for Trump’s immigration policies have dropped across nearly every demographic over the first year of Trump’s second term. Today, only 43% of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing handling immigration, a decrease of 5 percentage points since March 2025. Notably, the steepest decline in approval over the past year—11 points—comes from political independents. ...
The data shows that Americans overwhelmingly reject Trump’s mass deportation policies."

"Amid immigration raids in Louisiana, dozens gathered at a New Orleans church for a candlelight vigil, praying for both those detained and for law enforcement officials.
The Dec. 9 service was held at Holy Name of Jesus Church in New Orleans, located on the campus of Loyola University.
Jesuit Fr. Mark Thibodeaux, the parish's pastor, welcomed attendees to the 'solemn occasion' of prayer 'for refugees and immigrants.'"

"Even if Trumpism fails, America is fundamentally changed. We have always told ourselves 'it can’t happen here.' But it now has — and we can never look at our country the same again. Trump has made American daily life coarser, more rude, and less welcoming to others. We have seen fundamental tears this year in the civic fabric of our country and communities."

"Plenty of American CEOs have proven themselves to be quite morally flexible; plenty of them appear willing to pay once-unthinkable bribes if it helps their business, even unconstitutional export taxes! …
That fundamental cowardice and weakness stands in sharp contrast to the many Americans who have bravely stood up at an individual level…."

Never this year has Donald Trump looked as weak as he did yesterday."

"Americans are seeing what it looks like when you send masked people out to pick people off the street in vans and take them away and ship them to foreign torture prisons, right? And this is not what they had in mind."

Isn't one of the ways the other guys wins in Civ is when you don't give a shit about any of the things that cause tourism and more people from your civ travel to other civs than people from other civs come to yours? Pretty sure I've been barreling towards a science victory and been totally out-cultured by someone like Lautaro.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Good morning! I’m currently at Beaverton High School in OR where a mass student walk out has just started to demand a proactive ICE protocol for their school and district.
Students say that similar walkouts were planned at multiple other high schools, including Aloha, Sunset, Southridge & more.
One students says they want the district to collaborate with neighboring districts that have implemented more proactive plans, and to coordinate community response plans for when there are reports of ice activity on/nearby school grounds.
Other schools in neighboring districts have connected with rapid response networks. Students say that there are already teams like this organized in the area and ready to work together
"...In 2022, the Biden administration directed ICE officers to consider U.S. military service when deciding whether to pursue removal, allowing exemptions for veterans without serious criminal histories.
But an internal ICE memo obtained by 11Alive Investigates shows that directive was rescinded in April of this year.
The memo preserves certain protections for active-duty service members, but leaves others vulnerable. In fact, the new directive explicitly states, "an honorable discharge does not prevent an alien from being subject to immigration enforcement."

"65-year-old Wade said he spent his first 12 days at Stewart Detention Center sleeping on a makeshift bed on the ground, a result of overcrowding.
"We don't have any bunk space," he said. "We're given what we call boats, and those are placed on the floor with a two-inch mat."
He also said there are only two working urinals for his entire pod of 80 people.
"There's sewage water flowing on the ground," he said.
He served his country; now it's 'turning its back': Georgia veteran stuck in ICE detention after policy shift
Godfrey Wade is a wartime U.S. Army veteran who served overseas and received commendations upon his honorable discharge. Now he's set for deportation.
"...
Shortly after he arrived in the United States, Wade enlisted in the United States Army, 7th Infantry Division, beginning in Aschaffenburg, Germany. He earned commendations for good conduct and wartime service.
After his honorable discharge, he built a wide-ranging career and earned multiple college degrees. He's worked as a master tailor, fashion designer, tennis coach, and chef. He was working at the Georgia Capitol Café before he was detained.
