ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

Trump wants to use millions in national park entry fees to fund his vanity projects — including a $1.6M fireworks show and a $5M White House helipad. This comes after he made huge cuts to the NPS budget. We should be preserving our national treasures for future generations, not neglecting them.

If you weaponize the DOJ to intimidate elected officials, that’s not “politics.” It’s a federal crime. Retaliatory investigations violate civil‑rights and obstruction laws. Anyone turning law enforcement into a threat is advertising their own liability.
