Investigators say there are undisclosed detention sites scattered around Colorado, hidden in plain sight between strip malls and office parks.

Secret detention centers. In the United States.

Trump administration subpoenaing Arizona 2020 voting records, as Trump pushes to consolidate election power The administration has also obtained records from Fulton County, Georgia, as Trump continues to focus on the 2020 election he lost.

I have been saying this for too long now: Trump knows the GOP is about to lose bigly in November and will stop at nothing to rig the elections, as he's done before.

Do not be fooled simply because they are doing it openly and notoriously. We’re not going to let it happen. tinyurl.com/mrxb6ya9

Trump’s handpicked prosecutors are going to keep getting rejected by federal judges. Unless the president starts appointing them legally, every federal prosecution is going to be in jeopardy. trib.al/zURnUfL

β€œThe subpoena was issued in recent days to the Arizona State Senate, which oversaw a sprawling but partisan audit of the vote result that was ordered by Senate Republicans in Maricopa County in the months after Donald J. Trump lost to Joseph R. Biden Jr.”

Most of the world despises us, and none of our allies respect Trump. But our enemies love him. He is easy to use, easy to fool, and easy to play. Just offer bribes and public praise and he'll do whatever you want.

Court Blocks Attempt to Gut Right to Appeal Immigration Cases The court upheld a pause on a Trump administration rule that would have gutted people's right to appeal decisions by immigration court judges.

unless a majority of the Board of Immigration Appeals voted to revive them within just 10 days, a change that would have fast-tracked mass deportations.

A win! A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from gutting the appeals process for migrants facing deportation stopping a planned overhaul that would have automatically thrown out all appeals

With all these options remaining, why does the fate of thousands of criminal prosecutions in this District potentially rest on the legitimacy of an unprecedented
and byzantine leadership structure? The Government tells us: the President doesn’t
like that he cannot simply appoint whomever he wants. Notwithstanding the chaos that pervades criminal prosecutions in this District, and without regard to the
possibility that scores of dangerous criminals could have their cases dismissed or convictions eventually reversed, β€œthe [E]xecutive branch, at least right now, is not
prepared to . . . use [the legal] options.

Judge Brann’s blistering opinion warns that β€œscores of dangerous criminals” can have their convictions reversed if Trump insists on illegal appointments.

Alexander Butterfield, Nixon aide who disclosed Watergate tapes, dies at 99 Alexander Butterfield, the White House aide who inadvertently hastened Richard Nixon's resignation over the Watergate scandal when he revealed that the president had bugged the Oval Office and Cabinet Room and routinely recorded his conversations, has died. He was 99.

So after Taco Trump bails out of his Iran War, is he going to count it as one of the wars he supposedly ended?

So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.

Trump can walk away from this β€œlittle excursion” as he now calls it, but I have a feeling that Iran isn’t going to let bygones be bygones for a few more decades.

Border Patrol now targeting legal immigrants for 'carry your papers' law Border Patrol in southern Arizona cited more than 100 people for not carrying their immigration documents in 2025 as part of Trump administration efforts to revive decades-old immigration laws.

Federal agents in southwest Arizona are now ticketing legal immigrants for not carrying their documents under a 1952 law that’s been rarely enforced for decades. Among those cited are a Canadian green card holder walking to breakfast and an international student at a truck stop.

The GΓ‘mez-CuΓ©llar family has been released. We are taking them now to reunite with their son Antonio.

When I returned to the Dilley trailer prison today, I brought my colleagues in Congress to meet with the children and families and to bear witness to their stories.

A government, who in broad daylight, murders its own citizens on camera, wouldn't hesitate giving the order to send a tomahawk cruise missile into a girls school in Iran – and then retreat behind 'the fog of war'.

A president who rapes little girls in his own country will not hesitate to fire missiles at them in another country.
