ICE is slamming far northern Illinois for a second day in a row. Rapid responders in Rockford say federal agents detained a group of roofing workers this morning—eight men all the way from Minnesota. Volunteers are currently trying to locate their families. From a local immigration attorney:

Sprayed plates like on this vehicle currently parked at the Radisson on Bell School Road in Rockford are illegal. FLOCK can't read ICE's sprayed plates but can read law-abiding drivers' plates.

Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn’t leave a paper trail. 

“It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express,” she wrote on Signal, according to messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “Please.”

Underneath is a screenshot of a text. First text is a link to an American Express instructions PDF. Next text says: "You can just send it here. It won't show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express that's all that will show." Final text: "Please."

Former FBI agents subpoenaed before grand jury in the grand conspiracy probe re-submit to Judge Cannon their stricken request for clarification about how her gag order on Jack Smith's Vol 2 impacts their testimony. This time they attach 1.5-page certificate said to be req'd under a local rule.
CERTIFICATE OF CONFERENCE
In accordance with S.D. Fla. L. R. 88.9(a), counsel for Plaintiffs certify that they have
conferred with all parties relevant to this motion in a good faith effort to resolve the issues
identified in the motion without court intervention. To the extent Local Rule 88.9 addresses parties
against which the underlying criminal case has been dismissed, the positions of the three original
defendants in the above-captioned case are included here.
The United States Government. As described in the foregoing motion, undersigned
counsel attempted on multiple occasions to seek resolution short of court intervention. On August 28, 2026, counsel relayed general concerns related to Volume II disclosures to the government via video conference. Later that same day, the government responded via email to those concerns by
asserting that its "work does not disturb [the] Order." On September 4, 2026, undersigned counsel sent detailed concerns to government counsel via letter correspondence. On September 11, 2026,
having received no substantive response to the concerns raised in the letter correspondence,
undersigned counsel requested "the government's position for why the relief sought is/is not
needed" to include in this filing. On September 17, 2026, the government responded that
"Iplerhaps the best course of action is to simply file whatever relief you and your team deem appropriate. We will answer accordingly." On September 21, upon a request for clarification as to whether the government opposes, objects, or does not object to the relief sought, the government
responded that it "take[s] no position on your filing and will respond accordingly."
Donald J. Trump. On October 1, 2026, counsel for former defendant Donald J. Trump ...Donald J. Trump. On October 1, 2026, counsel for former defendant Donald J. Trump
stated that she can confirm on behalf of President Trump that we oppose the motion."
Carlos DeOliveira. On October 2, 2026, counsel for former defendant Carlos DeOliveira
asked that undersigned "note my opposition on behalf of Mr. DeOliveira."
Waltine Nauta. On October 5, 2026, counsel for Mr. Nauta indicated through counsel for Mr. DeOliveira that he opposes the motion. Specifically, counsel for Mr. DeOliveira provided a
response on behalf of all three defendants related to the filing of a response. Upon a request for
clarification, counsel for Mr. DeOliveira confirmed this meant Mr. Nauta joined the other two
defendants in their objection.
On October 5, 2026, counsel for Mr: DeOliveira indicated on behalf of all three
defendants—in an email on which counsel for all three defendants were copied—that they wish to
"reserve our right to file a response."
