Marina Lopez spent nearly seven months in ICE custody after her arrest in Chicago in June.

On Christmas Eve, Lopez, from Guatemala, finally returned home. She was released after the federal government failed to provide a reason or evidence justifying her detention.

In directing her release, the judge wrote that “the government admits it has no record of why (Marina’s) supervision was revoked and makes no effort to explain why she is now detained.”

The mother said her strength to endure more than 200 days in detention came from her local church and her children’s choir group, which rallied around them during that time.

Her story is one of faith, resistance, and community during the Trump era.

Every year as temps drop, pet ducks are left in local parks to fend for themselves when owners can’t take care of their growing needs.

But domestic ducks have been bred not to fly and can’t forage on their own — so being dumped is like a death sentence. https://t.co/poJTsoPpJs

When the Nance family was harassed and attacked by a white mob in 1979, the owners of Bridgeport Restaurant wouldn't let them in for refuge.

Now, the family has taken over the Bridgeport Restaurant space and opened their own diner. An incredibly story from @CPLHouse

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker just endorsed Kamala Harris for president.

The endorsement from Pritzker, one of the most viable potential Democratic candidates left, further clears the way for Harris. He said it's time to shatter the "highest & hardest of glass ceilings." Statement:
