Donald Trump and ICE in charge of thousands of children’s well-being
Screengrab from article. Text reads: Since the day he took office Donald Trump has been going out of his way to endanger migrant children and leave them at risk of falling into horrific cycles of trafficking and other abuse,” Wyden said. “I’m extremely concerned that the new ICE detention facility planned for construction in Louisiana will be another black box location for the Trump administration to disappear migrant children with no oversight and no accountability.”

Congressman Troy Carter of Louisiana’s Second District told the Queen Zone in a statement: “I agree with Senator Wyden’s concerns

There’s no ICE surge coming to “sanctuary cities” ICE is actually pulling back officers and limiting traffic stops, meaning they have to go a lot slower They’ve been juicing their numbers for months using different means like insane amounts of arrests on sitting ducks in GOP trifecta states

ICE is still doing damage control after their infamous traffic stop murders Despite all their bombastic rhetoric, ICE is in fact restricting personnel doing traffic stops - why? Bc it’s hurting Republicans Probably why ICE agents are hanging out in business parking lots in Oregon

In the US, DHS and ICE are trying to crush brown and black people and drive them out of the country. They say it openly. They boast. They revel in it. “Self deport”. “Re-migrate”. “Leave”. The U.S.’ “closest” “allies” are trying to do the same thing to the indigenous people in their region

In the USA our most liberal, educated, and enlightened socioeconomic elite has perpetrated many a mass killing, over hundreds of years In observing, criticizing, and funding other mass killings conducted by faraway societies, we have the opportunity to address patterns in our own society

I’ve seen NAZA. It is not about Gaza or even about IDF rules of engagement. It is 100% a film about Israeli society. It is about how the most liberal, educated and enlightened socioeconomic elites among us could carry out such mass killing, some even while being well aware of it.

“At the sentencing hearing Wednesday in Portland, Niño-Moncada, 33, his voice shaking with emotion, told U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut that he loved the US and Americans “in comparison with my experiences in Venezuela.”” M. Bernstein on Luis Niño Moncada: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2026/0...
Screenshot of text from article : At the sentencing hearing Wednesday in Portland, Niño-Moncada, 33, his voice shaking with emotion, told U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut that he loved the United States and Americans “in comparison with my experiences in Venezuela.”

“When the incident happened with the agents, I thought I was going to be killed,” he said through a Spanish interpreter. “I was more frightened than I had ever been before.”

He said he was scared that his passenger, his girlfriend Yorlenys Zambrano-Contreras, who was shot in the chest, was going to die. He also said that recovering from his wounds in jail was “terrifying.”

“While I am struggling to process my feelings about being shot, I am also grateful for all the support I have received. Despite my experiences, I still love this country and the people in it,” he said.

Immergut accepted the negotiated sentence.Screenshot from article showing photo of Luis in red shirt at a restaurant. Text: Luis Niño-Moncada was shot in the upper left arm and grazed in the chest as he rammed his truck in reverse into an unoccupied federal rental car, a black Hyundai Sonata, in the lot of Adventist Health Medical Office 3 building at 10201 S.E. Main St. on Jan. 8. Six Border Patrol agents had surrounded the truck in the lot after following it for several miles.Defense court exhibit

💌 ✅ NYTimes recaps major SCOTUS decision to PROTECT vote by mail for critical midterms Coast to coast rejoicing from Republican and Democrat Secretaries of State who administer elections www.nytimes.com/live/2026/09... From Oregon’s Secretary of State Tobias Read:
From Anna griffin quoting Read:
“Tobias Read, the secretary of state of Oregon who oversees mail-in balloting in the place that pioneered it, said he was grateful for the ruling. “I think the Supreme Court has better things to do than explain the Constitution to the president, but I’m glad they did,” he said. Read said he anticipated high turnout this fall and is confident the court will uphold mail balloting in the future. “The real question is how many times does this president have to lose before he gets the hint,” said Read, a Democrat.
