The sheriff excoriated the agents for their conduct, saying the arrest had changed his mind about the federal government’s immigration actions. “We’re being told one story, which is totally different than what’s occurring or what occurred [Wednesday] night,” Joyce said, noting that the recruit had passed the county’s application process to qualify as a corrections […]

The change would only happen by getting past the DNC’s rules and bylaws committee, then the majority of the committee’s 450 members, and then state Democratic parties.

I’m not the first person to be wildly charmed by spas (though, as with everything, Uproxx was riding this cultural wave early). Done well, they’re just such a perfect combination of health-meets-fun and relaxation-meets-vibezzzzzzzzzzz. But in becoming a spa connoisseur (spa-nnoisseur?), I’ve seen a lot of bricks. Sometimes they’re too quiet. Others, they don’t feel […]

Source: Mathieu Lewis-Rolland / Getty At this point, it should be clear to the Trump administration that it has a police brutality problem over at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Unfortunately but unsurprisingly, the DHS is too busy lying and vilifying victims to justify the aggressive and often violent behavior of its ICE agents — […]

Johnson chuckled. “The president uses social media to make a point. You can argue he’s probably the most effective person who’s ever used social media for that. He is using satire to make a point,” Johnson replied. “He is not calling for the murder of his political opponents, and that’s what these people are doing.” […]

So, how many members of the Venezuelan gang did they catch in the controversial September raid? DHS says that, of the 37 individuals arrested that night, agents got ahold of “just one ‘verified’ Tren de Aragua member,” MSNBC reported this week.

I don’t know Portland well, but I’ve visited there twice, the most recent visit just a few months ago. I stayed in a hotel along the Willamette River maybe three-quarters of a mile south of downtown. On a tasty Saturday afternoon, I walked along the river through a lovely riverfront park, cut over to Chapman […]

The point is not that there are zero examples of leftist protesters getting violent—as the Times notes, a handful of leftists are getting prosecuted for just that. Rather, it’s that none of this remotely matches what Trump and MAGA are conjuring into being. The word “provocateur” doesn’t do justice to any of this—and we don’t […]

The actual threat to people in cities like Los Angeles, Portland, and Chicago comes from the Trump administration, as it attempts to turn the military and federal law enforcement into the president’s personal enforcers. Trump’s lies about this project—and his broader project of mass deportation—are not meant to sound convincing; they are tools for getting […]

Sargent: Just to wrap this up, the judge also issued a strong denunciation of Trump that I’d like to quote: “This is a nation of constitutional law, not martial law.” AG, that’s what’s at stake here, I think. Do you expect this to go to the Supreme Court and how do you predict the Supreme […]
