It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.
Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.
Sunny is free. We are so glad that she is with family and on the way home. Sunny and her 5 coworkers were taken to Broadview and then moved to Juneau, Wisconsin where they were finally released from ICE custody. We were lied to the entire time about her location. DHS needs to answer for this.
We double tapped a school full of girls.
This was done in our name. And there will, of course, be horrible cosequences. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...
There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

The Jan 6 plaque has finally been hung at the U.S. Capitol
Happened at 4am
Happened three years late due to politicized foot dragging
this is explicitly genocidal
The front page of The National. The headline reads: THIS IS THE HUMAN COST. The photo stretches across the front and back pages of the paper and is the aerial view of 100 freshly dug graves for the murdered schoolgirls of Minab, Iran
NEW: US & Israeli have bombed a 4th school.
Shahid Hamedane School in Tehran was hit today, following schools hit in Minab and Parand, Iran.
And The National in Scotland seems to be the only newspaper in the Western world giving these war crimes appropriate coverage.
Tomorrow’s front page👇
Excuse the bad language, but this is where we are at right now:
SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:
So you don't heave a missile into an elementary school, then fire a second missile into the school to finish off the survivors is why a professional military engages in dumb, politically correct rules of engagement. But no, American exceptionalism > 175 schoolgirls.
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
Democrats have flipped 27 seats since Trump was elected.
Republicans have flipped 0.
US military official: "I think it's safe to say there's no plan for a wave of new Middle Eastern refugees to the US"
The girls’ school in Iran, where 165 people were killed by an apparent US-Israeli attack, was hit with two strikes, with the second missile killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a slain child have told Middle East Eye.
NEW: A Democratic candidate in the primary in Eric Swalwell’s district raised $2M in the first two weeks of her campaign from unknown donors.
Rakhi Israni’s personal political donations have gone to over 10 MAGA and far right candidates including Laura Loomer.

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.
Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

Powerful MAGA
JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."
She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!
Context:
This, as a harbinger of Republican plans to suppress voting at the November mid-terms, is well worth a read.

Same here in Texas.
The air quotes around “Mr Lewandowski is your ‘special advisor,’ correct?” are brilliant. That’s my Norwich neighbor! But facts of this blatant and massive heist are stomach curdling.
Hi! I’m Juno- hating that Trump put us at war but hoping that you all will save my life! I’m 5- landlord didn’t want pets and now I’m here 2b euthanized bc I’m not a good shelter pet! I need an East coast foster! It’s free 2foster me! Free 2repost me! nycacc.app/browse/247081
A woman’s ex boyfriend, who is a cop, threatens to shoot her
Women are at the highest risk for being killed when they try to leave a relationship.
She calls 911 for help & the Police Chief WARNS the boyfriend instead.
Boyfriend opened fire on her car
We aren’t angry enough.
3. In a dissenting opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who is joined by Justice Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, says that the Supreme Court's "101-word unexplained order can be summarized in just 7: 'Rules for thee, but not for me.' "

What to say. You don’t need to be an expert. You don’t need to write a legal brief. A few sentences in your own words carry weight. But if you want to make your comment as effective as possible, here are the points that matter most: Demand additional alternatives. The BLM has only proposed two: do nothing or maximize logging. Insist they analyze alternatives that increase harvest modestly while maintaining meaningful protections for old-growth, listed species, water quality, and recreation. Challenge the fire argument. The BLM claims increased logging will reduce wildfire risk. The science says the opposite for industrial clearcutting and plantation management. Say so. Raise the streamside buffers. Twenty-five-foot buffers are a joke for protecting endangered salmon and steelhead. The agency knows this. Call it out.
Defend the ACECs. The BLM is required to reevaluate all existing Areas of Critical Environmental Concern in the planning area. That’s over 100 designated areas. If you’ve visited any of them, say so. If they matter to you, say so. Name the places you care about. Valley of the Giants. Mary’s Peak. Alsea Falls. The Sandy River. The North Fork Clackamas. The Upper Molalla. Personal connections to specific places carry real weight in NEPA proceedings. Demand public meetings. The BLM has said it doesn’t intend to hold any. That’s unacceptable for a decision of this magnitude. Tell them.

Trump returned to the WH and admired new statues installed in the Rose Garden, but won’t answer a reporter’s question about the three U.S. troops who died in combat.
Reporter: “What’s your message to the families of the service members who were killed?”
Trump: walks away.
Priorities noted.
“The Constitution requires a vote, and your Representative needs to be on record as opposing or supporting this war."
