Thank you to everyone sharing this story. We can only presume this agent will return to Chicago soon. Quite a lot that had to be left out for brevity's sake, but of note: he has repeatedly called the agents working with him "my guys," definitely indicating he's some kind of team lead.

New: We pieced together dozens of violent incidents from the ICE agents seen in viral videos from Virginia this week. They've roamed across multiple states, but are most often working in Chicago. We also verified the identity of Martin Lagunas, the fed who pointed his gun at a woman on Monday:

We’re going to defeat Trump’s election sabotage with preparation and people power. More than 30,000 Americans are organizing to build the nationwide infrastructure we need to respond to attacks on voting rights in every community. Let’s get to work: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

BREAKING: Over 140 of our brave neighbors are on hunger strike inside the Northwest concentration camp. We stand with them and their families to demand an end to Trump’s cruel and deadly ICE agenda. FREE THEM ALL.

Reporter: Family members of service members are concerned about conditions on the LIncoln. Trump: No they’re not. Reporter: Has the deployment gone on too long? Trump: No. Not nearly long enough.

The newly confirmed Attorney General of the United States is speaking at a political rally in support of the Republican candidate for New York governor. I’m pretty certain that the previous time in modern DOJ history (say the last hundred years) that something like that has happened is…..NEVER.

We’re training 100,000 Americans across the US to protect the vote like never before.

Our Constitution requires that "all persons" be given equal protection of the laws. Legal action should not be motivated by race or ancestry, even if another reason is used as a pretext. Done by the president and allowed by SCOTUS, which refused to enforce equal protection in the Muslim ban case.

Ryan Enos@ryanenos.bsky.social · 3d ago

These are people who legally entered this country and now, because of ancestry and a conspiracy theory pushed by an aspiring politician, are being pursued by the government and fitted with special monitoring devices. This should remind of the darkest events in history.

CBP can do this thanks to the REAL ID Act of 2005, which authorized the DHS Secretary to "waive all laws" (yes, ALL laws) that the Secretary deems interfere with the expeditious construction of border walls. Seriously. It's a bad authority that should be nixed. www.sierraclub.org/borderlands/...

Urge your members of Congress to do everything in their power to end Trump’s war of choice: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

Under Trump and RFK Jr., measles cases have hit a 35-year high, whooping cough has resurged, & Americans are increasingly dying from preventable diseases. Their latest decision to upend the childhood immunization schedule will only make our kids sicker & must be immediately reversed.

I joined my Democratic colleagues in calling on the Government Accountability Office to conduct a full, transparent accounting of Trump’s ballroom boondoggle. The American taxpayer has a right to know how much of their hard-earned money is going toward the President’s vanity projects.

Trump is so dangerously out of his depth that Iran is talking about dragging this war out until he leaves office. Two more years of this shit is not an option.

If he's really grateful, he'd grow a spine. But no, he will literally say anything to downplay the war and suck up to Trump's ego while our warriors pay the price. Hegseth is incompetent and must be fired.

Republicans Against Trumpism@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social · 4d ago

Pete Hegseth rejected reports of worsening conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, including a sailor going overboard and declining crew mental health, calling the reports “completely misrepresented.”

Trump is playing politics with our children’s health. Vaccines save lives. Doctors and scientists know it. Parents know it. The White House should stop spreading fear and start following the science.

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 7d ago

BREAKING: President Trump to sign an executive order calling for spacing out childhood shots, among other changes to vaccine recommendations.

Moldy showers. Food shortages. Poor hygiene. 5,000 U.S. service members have been stuck on the USS Lincoln for nine months, with no end in sight. Trump promised to end America’s endless wars—not start another one. We need to bring our troops home and end this pointless war.

Moldy showers and no soap: Military families are outraged by conditions on USS Lincoln

The aircraft carrier's long deployment in the Iran war is raising concerns that the sailors and Marines on board are facing poor conditions, low supplies and fatigue.

Kinda chic to fight for working people.

Nope! Under no circumstances can DHS be trusted with electric shock gloves and the power to inflict "sudden" death!

ICE plans to give officers gloves that can deliver electric shocks

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers may soon be outfitted with gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks that are intended to gain compliance from combative individuals.

A ballroom over basic needs. A helipad over affordable healthcare. Families in my district struggle to obtain these while this administration wants to spend $900 million of YOUR taxpayer money on White House renovations. That tells you everything about Trump's priorities.

The regime is spending your tax dollars to make Trump's deadly ICE machine bigger and more brutal. In July, nearly 51,000 people were taken from their homes, workplaces, and communities. And now, ICE is planning to spend up to $20 MILLION on gloves built to deliver painful electric shocks.
