Donald Trump is supposed to be the guy that's concerned about crime In every FBI field office and we just got this 25-45% of the agents that used to work on counterrorism, cyber-crime, counter-espionage, they've all been taken off those duties and assigned to immigration. HOLY COW: Sen. Mark Warner just revealed Trump's DOJ pulled up to 45% of FBI agents off counter-terrorism and CHILD RAPE AND EXPLOITATION cases to reassign them to immigration. Trump's priorities aren't America First. They're predators first.
"We have all seen the power of parents connecting together to care for everyone's children and to keep each other safe," the group says in a statement on Instagram. "We know that community is the key to holding our government agencies accountable for their actions. We cannot continue to let our government traumatize children, neighbors, teachers, laborers, and anyone else in our community who is now on constant high alert."
The lawyers say the initiative by the Trump administration, which was seemingly paused in August but could start up again in the future, denied due process: Immigrants with long-paused cases can be hard to track down, and attorneys have not always been informed of the motions in time to challenge them in court. The old cases involve many who sought visas based on a special status: one for juveniles abandoned or abused and the second specifically for crime victims.
Ever since the Trump immigration raids began in Los Angeles in June, local leaders and community activists have criticized agents for sometimes making it difficult to identify them as federal law enforcement officials or refusing to identify themselves at all. Now, an unexpected new group has expressed its own concerns: the FBI. Citing a string of incidents in which masked criminals posing as immigration officers robbed and kidnapped victims, the FBI recently issued a memo suggesting agents clearly identify themselves while they're in the field.

"I refused to go largely in solidarity with the countries who Trump targeted for visa exclusions," said Murakami Wood, a criminology professor at the University of Ottawa. "This time ... it's even worse. It's not specific countries [being targeted], but we're seeing people being arbitrarily arrested and taken off the streets, deportations, people being arrested in transit."
Carmen's abusive husband came home drunk one night last summer. He pounded and kicked the door. He threatened to kill her as her young son watched in horror. She called police, eventually obtaining a restraining order. Months later he returned and beat her again. Police came again and he was eventually deported. Thinking she finally escaped his cruelty, Carmen applied for what is known as a U-Visa.
But if successful they could also fulfill a long-running administration goal of employing America's military to aid in the mass deportation of immigrants without legal status, according to an NPR review of past comments from Trump and his allies. It's a move that would stray significantly from past federal use of the Guard, challenging laws that dictate how the U.S. military can be used domestically.

If all goes well, this will be the last time I am the news and you can instead count on me to bring you some uncompromising journalism as the latest addition to the Mercury's news team. You may be familiar with my work at Street Roots, where I worked as a staff reporter for the past few years. I'll say, despite the risk of turning this into a cover letter, I learned a lot about reporting on housing and homelessness there,
"We've gotten more testimonials. I'm starting to now see 'Leaving MAGA' signs popping up on billboards, overpasses, and [at] No Kings protests," said Rich Logis, a Catholic ex-Trump supporter who founded a group called Leaving MAGA. Catch up quick: Images of federal agents grabbing U.S. citizens or unauthorized immigrants who were picking up children from school have jolted some evangelicals who backed Trump in 2024.
When ICE and other federal agencies operate without transparency, and when they use local property as staging grounds, that fear multiplies in our communities. It erodes the trust we've worked so hard to build," Ortiz said. "This is what local leadership looks like. When the federal government chooses fear, we choose community. When others look away, we act.
DHS sent me to the border to see the separations for myself to try to make me more compassionate but it didn't work, she told MSNBC's Jacob Soboroff in 2018, according to his book on the border policy, Separated. The book also quotes Miller saying she didn't expect to change her mind: My family and colleagues told me that when I have kids I'll think about family separation differently. But I don't think so.
The department posted the clip because Bovino was ordered to appear in court before U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis on Tuesday, after he was recently caught on camera pelting a can of tear gas at protesters. Judge Ellis basically gave Bovino a curfew, ruling that he now has to appear in her courtroom every day at 6 p.m. to explain what the fuck is happening with border control in Chicago. Before he could comply on Wednesday, though, an appeals court blocked the order.
The Republican-led US Senate has passed a measure that would terminate Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs on Brazilian imports, including coffee, beef and other products, in a rare bipartisan show of opposition to the president's trade war.

In a video shared on TikTok in September, a masked man in a tactical vest runs across a street in Chicago toward a Ford SUV.
