Rep. Omar: you’re wrong. Sanctions are ESSENTIAL in this war as they target the elite economy. It is the Russian state not sanctions which hurt the Russian people. I write this as a scholar of Russia and war with 40 years experience on the ground and many friends there.

This is effectively a pro-Putin, pro-Kremlin, pro-Russia, pro-Russian genocidal war on Ukraine speech. This is effectively a speech whose entire intent is to support the Kremlin.

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Two stories from Monday highlight the inhumane way the Trump administration's immigration enforcement operates — including the racist ways it inevitably targets U.S. citizens and those with legal status. Tribune: www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c... AP: apnews.com/article/immi...

Chicago woman dragged out of her car after colliding with ICE demands accountability
Dayanne Figueroa, a U.S. citizen, stands in her mother's backyard in Northlake on Oct. 26,
2025. An unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa's car as the agents tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. (Eileen
T. Meslar/Chicago Tribune)

Five families interviewed by The Associated Press said officers zip-tied children as young as 11. They said an 8-year-old boy got glass in his mouth as he screamed while officers broke his car window. Several children were separated from family members for hours.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, whose agency oversees Border Patrol and ICE, denied that children were zip-tied. FBI spokesperson Sandra Barker initially said no restraints or rubber bullets were used on children but later amended that statement, replacing "children" with "young children."

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine. My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”
