Congress allocated $150M for America's 250th. Trump got more money from defense contractors & other corporate interests, used it all to make the holiday about himself, & STILL wants $10M more from taxpayers. This wasn’t America's birthday party. It was Trump's, & you're paying for the cake.

OUTRAGEOUS! DHS officers in Portland detained an Indigenous activist wearing the MMIW handprint outside the ICE facility. Suppressing peaceful demonstrators exposes the deep disregard for native lives. Indigenous sovereignty and human rights cannot be silenced.

Protesters confronted Benjamin Netanyahu’s motorcade, waving Palestinian flags and calling for his arrest, as the Israeli PM arrived in Washington for talks with US President Donald Trump.

At Tacoma’s ICE detention center, those who have reported assaults have been ignored, evidence is dismissed, and GEO Group is allowed to investigate itself. This isn’t justice. It’s a system that is built to protect abuse and silence victims. ICE and GEO Group must be held accountable.

What happens when there’s an assault in Tacoma’s ICE detention center?

This week, we tell you more about the investigative process, why advocates say it often goes awry, and about the Tacoma Police Department’s role.
