The firefighter, whose name has not been made public, has lived in the US for 19 years after arriving with his family at the age of four. He received a U-visa certification from the US attorney's office in Oregon in 2017 and submitted his U-visa application with US Citizenship and Immigration Services the following year. The U-visa program was established by Congress to protect victims of serious crimes who assist federal investigators, and the man has been waiting since 2018 for the immigration agency to decide on his application, according to Stephen Manning, a lawyer with Innovation Law Lab, a Portland-based nonprofit representing the firefighter. Another homeland security policy says agents cannot detain people who are receiving or have applied for victim-based immigration benefits, his lawyer said.

Democratic leaders need to pushback. I hope if he sends them to Illinois that Pritzker has NG arrested for breaking the law. Pritzker already said that he has not asked for them, therefore Trump is breaking the law. There is NO civil unrest in Chicago. That MF and his lies about our crime rate 🤬

Yes, in most cases, the president sending the National Guard into a state without the governors consent or request is illegal because it violates state law and the constitutional role of governors, who control their state's National Guard units under normal circumstances. The only exception is under the Insurrection Act, which allows the president to deploy federal forces, including federally activated National Guard troops, to suppress civil disorder or enforce federal law without a governor's consent, provided there is a clear federal necessity. e Why the President Cannot Send the National Guard Without Consent State Authority: The National Guard is a state military force until it is federalized. State governors are empowered by law to order their state's National Guard to duty under normal circumstances. Violation of State Sovereignty: Deploying troops into a state without the governor's request or approval is considered an abuse of power that undermines state sovereignty and the mission of service members. No Broad Statutory Authority: There is no broad statutory authority for the president to federalize a state's National Guard to police local crime against the wishes of the state's governor. e

Trump says Intel CEO agreed to give U.S. government $10 billion. Trump implies it’s an equity stake. The irony of his criticism of Democratic-Socialists as communists when, if this is true, its actual government takeover of private industry.

This is what happens when a-holes in power forget history...they repeat it. 😡🤬 "The facility, which once imprisoned people considered 'enemy aliens,' is a chilling reminder of a dark past."

Confederate statues are “history” but a rainbow crosswalk dedicated to victims of a mass shooting is “political.”

Yes. Collapsing all fed law enforcement into one undifferentiated, untrained, masked force. "Agents said they worried the changes would transform the FBI from an investigative agency focused on national security into something more akin to a federal police force..." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/u...

Someone needs to tell the lying uneducated racist in the WH that slavery WAS bad. His interest in wanting to white wash history isn't surprising ... but damn, it's offensive. 😡🤬 www.newsweek.com/white-house-...

I agree!! They teamed up w/ GOP Charles Munger and Common Cause, another org. I USED TO respect until they were part of the 'don't question election results' crowd in the last election. It's soooo disappointing to see how far the groups have fallen. I bet they have their butter knives out.

Completely agree with Newsom on this. It's an all-hands-on-deck moment for our democracy! Right wing/middle-of-the-road groups/politicians are trying to spin this in CA by downplaying what Trump did in TX & playing the both sides argument. Don't fall for it! Until TX changes, CA must be all in!

From perplexity.ai - What would the economic impact of deporting 55 million visa holders be on the US?

So much for being a nation of immigrants. If all 55M were deported, look forward to: a collapsing labor market; shrinking GDP (by 2.6-6.8%); devastating decrease in tax base; higher food/housing costs, plus other consequences. apnews.com/article/trum...

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?
