We have, after all, been warned over and over that organizations like ICE have been wanting to vastly expand their online operations, using the same vastly expanded budget that recently saw them purchase a new $7.3 million fleet of (Canadian made) armored vehicles. The online expansion of ICE, meanwhile, is not just in the name of locating more groups of undocumented immigrants to target, but also to compile sprawling digital enemies lists, creating databases of those who have expressed anti-ICE sentiment.
What does that actually look like? I guess I'm just having a hard time picturing, and I think a lot of people will have a hard time picturing what that looks like for a police officer to intervene in with federal, you know, immigration enforcement and what that would entail, what it would look like, Daniels said on Saturday after reading O'Hara's comment.
When you see SRG agents clearing the street, clearing the way for trucks, let's be clear, the words for that are facilitating ICE deportations. That is a violation of New York City sanctuary law, and it's not tolerable. It is not the job of the NYPD to facilitate the deportations of our neighbors, Lander charged. I really do want to ask the NYPD to remember who you're sworn to protect and serve, and it is the people of New York City.
Cold Arctic air from the north is firmly in charge of the UK's weather, bringing the first notable cold snap of this autumn and giving an early taste of winter weather. As a result, winter hazards are likely through the next few days, with snow and ice a particular hazard, and the coldest conditions likely on Wednesday and Thursday. Wintry showers will affect areas exposed to the brisk northerly wind, in particular Northern Ireland, southwest Wales, southwest England, northeast England and across the northern half of Scotland.
Chaofeng Ye, a Queens resident, was arrested in Pennsylvania back in January for alleged credit card fraud.

Entrepreneur Frederick Tudor started sending ice from American bodies of water all around the world in the 1800s. It was seen as a luxury to be able to afford and cool or preserve your food and beverages with ice. When Tudor still had leftover ice from his export business, he'd give it to American taverns, who popped chunks of it into drinks. People loved how refreshing those chilly drinks were, and then wanted to buy ice from Tudor - a genius marketing plan.
Driving the news: Almost half of ICE's field office directors are being shifted out of their roles in an effort to ramp up immigration enforcement. They will be replaced with leaders from other parts of the Department of Homeland Security, including Border Patrol, which has been assisting ICE in its operations in Los Angeles and Chicago. Zoom in: The Washington Examiner first reported the leadership shakeup on Monday, which included removing ICE's top staff in Portland, Denver, San Diego, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
The senators' letter cites an AP investigation this month that revealed several examples of ICE using the device on people - sometimes for hours - on deportation flights dating to 2020. Van Hollen was joined by U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Alex Padilla of California, Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, and six others. The WRAP is the subject of several federal lawsuits likening incorrect usage of the device to punishment and even torture.

We're establishing a misconduct tracker to systematically document abuse and civil rights violations by this administration - including cases where ICE has detained U.S. citizens and violated federal law, The tracker documents unconstitutional actions after they occur - it is not a live location tool. Creating this kind of investigatory record is routine and essential in any oversight inquiry.
