🔔FYI: Leo Garcia Venegas is an American citizen. He frames houses in Baldwin County, Alabama.

Since the spring of 2025 he has been detained three times by federal agents, twice at job sites they entered without a warrant, once in his own driveway after they followed him home.
Each time he held out an Alabama REAL ID.

Each time it wasn't enough.

Here is the part that should stop you: at a hearing this year, a Homeland Security official testified that agents do not treat REAL ID as reliable proof that someone is legally present.
DHS administers the REAL ID program. The government spent years telling Americans to go get one.

A federal judge has now refused to throw his case out, so it moves forward.

This isn't a disagreement about immigration policy.
It's a question about whether a badge lets someone walk onto private property without a warrant and demand you prove you belong in your own country.

What would you have done if you were Leo, standing in your driveway with your ID in your hand?

🚨 Remember this: In 2000, Epstein’s house manager, Alfredo Rodriguez, compiled a list of victims and brought it to a lawyer.

The lawyer contacted the FBI.

The FBI ran a “sting.”

No traffickers arrested.
No victims interviewed.
No investigation.

Instead, Rodriguez was prosecuted for “stolen property.”

He went to prison. And died there.

The whistleblower paid the price. The predator walked free.

That’s the system.

A truly remarkable video.

Jamie Raskin tells US Attorney General Pam Bondi the truth: "You turned the people's Department of Justice into Trump's instrument of revenge."

His list of facts against the US government is staggering.

It is a dictatorship.

🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol are now pistol-whipping 16-year-olds and smashing their heads into the curb.

In the video, an agent illegally tries to detain an unaccompanied minor, in Long Beach, California.

The child has his hands in the air.

An agent runs up and hits him in the head with a pistol. Then two agents tackle him and force his head down against the curb.

After the child is already on the ground, pinned by two armed adults, another agent brings out a K9, for what reason exactly?

Then one agent puts his knee on the child’s neck while another handcuffs him, even though he’s not resisting at all.

Unaccompanied minors are supposed to be handled through child-welfare procedures, not slammed into concrete by armed agents.

Using a gun as a weapon is deadly force. You don’t get to use deadly force on a child who is standing still with his hands up. And putting a knee on someone’s neck while they’re restrained is a textbook violation of use-of-force rules and basic constitutional rights.

ICE/Border Patrol agents are brutalizing people for sport, they are executing people because they can, trafficking children, and if they aren’t stopped no one will be safe.

🚨THIS RIGHT HERE: JB Pritzker just dropped a bomb, saying that Trump’s infiltration of U.S. cities is part of his aim to stop the election in Nov 2026.

Pritzker, who's Jewish, compared it to how the Nazis came to power in Germany: "Donald Trump is just following that playbook."

Chris Madel, a Minneapolis lawyer, says he's ending his Republican campaign for governor of Minnesota following the death of Alex Pretti.

"I cannot support the national Republicans' stated retribution on the citizens of our state."

"Operation Metro Surge has expanded far beyond its stated focus on true public safety threat."

"United States citizens, particularly those of color, live in fear. United States citizens are carrying papers to prove their citizenship. That's wrong."

BREAKING: A letter from Alex Pretti’s Final Nursing Student:

“I was Alex Pretti’s final nursing student. He was my friend and my nursing mentor. For the past four months, I stood shoulder to shoulder with him during my capstone preceptorship at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. There he trained me to care for the sickest of the sick as an ICU nurse. He taught me how to care for arterial and central lines, the intricacies of managing multiple IVs filled with lifesaving solutions, and how to watch over every heartbeat, every breath, and every flicker of life, ready to act the moment they wavered. Techniques intended to heal.

Alex carried patience, compassion and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure shining through during those unbearable final moments captured on camera.

It does not surprise me that his final words were, “Are you okay?” Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well.

Alex believed strongly in the Second Amendment and in the rights rooted in our Constitution and its amendments. He spoke out for justice and peace whenever he could, not only out of obligation, but out of a belief that we are more connected than divided, and that communication would bring us together.

I want his family to know his legacy lives on. I am a better nurse because of the wisdom and skills he instilled in me. I carry his light with me into every room, letting it guide and steady my hands as I heal and care for those in need.

Please honor my friend by standing up for peace, preferably with a cup of black coffee in hand and a couple of pieces of candy in your pocket, just as he would. He would remind you that caring for others is hard work, and we must do whatever it takes to get through the long shifts. Step outside with your dog, breathe in the world, hike or bike as he loved to do, and let yourself find peace in the quiet moments within nature. Stand up for justice and speak with those whose views differ from your own. Hold your beliefs with strength, but always extend love outward, even in the face of adversity.

Take one step, no matter how small, to help heal our world. Through these acts, carry his light forward in his name. Let his legacy continue to heal.”

Families are getting notices that their health care premiums will go up by hundreds of dollars a month. Some will be priced out of coverage entirely.

Americans across the country are counting on us to lower health care costs.

Democrats are fighting for every one of them.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

Health care costs for 22 million Americans are about to skyrocket.

Food assistance for 42 million Americans hangs in the balance.

Trump doesn't give a shit.

ICE agents just snatched a Journalist & were Speeding away when they hit a woman’s vehicle that was going to work & doing nothing wrong! They almost left the scene after slamming into her,but then snatched her out of her car at gunpoint and took her with them! 🤬

[Eboni Russell @_Russell_00]

I live in Chicago… I live a block over from Cicero. ICE visited my home yesterday. ICE didn’t knock. ICE tried to forcefully open my window. ICE opened my screen and asked me to sign papers. I AM an American Citizen. Born on U.S. soil. ICE forcefully tried to enter my home! WAKE UP AMERICA!

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

Do you all realize Trump has destroyed our rights? DHS can break down your door in the middle of the night, with no warrant, trash your apartment and all your belongings, zip tie you, zip tie your children and drag you all out into the street naked, throw you into a van, imprison you for as long as they feel like it with no lawyer, no calls, nothing. It doesn’t matter that you are a citizen. They act with near total impunity.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

As a parent, aunt, uncle, grandparent, human being—if you don’t feel for this young woman and see the injustice here, you’re dead inside.

Deported to Guatemala. She’s an honor student, a track star. She doesn’t even speak Spanish. And this isn’t the worst story out there, not by a long shot.

She had no idea where she was going when they deported her. That’s how cruel and broken this system is.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

[Adam Klasfeld @KlasfeldReports]

"No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates. ... Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

This isn’t paranoia. This is precedent.

Unchecked power isn’t theoretical anymore—it’s structural.

And if we don’t act like the warning is real, we’ll wake up one day to find the guardrails were gone long before the crash.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🔥 Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is not mincing words:

“The Court’s decision to permit the Executive to violate the Constitution with respect to anyone who has not yet sued is an existential threat to the rule of law.”

She’s sounding the alarm, loud and clear.

If a president can trample the Constitution until someone sues and wins, then justice becomes a waiting game and power becomes unchecked.

“If this country is going to persist as a Nation of laws and not men, the Judiciary has no choice but to deny it.”

That’s not just a dissent.
It’s a warning. And we’d be fools not to listen.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

WATCH: “She keeps looking for her mom and doesn’t want the bottle.”

A mom married to a 🇺🇸 citizen with a legal family petition was grabbed by Trump’s Gestapo at her immigration appointment and taken from her husband and baby.

Every veteran should be furious!

This guy was going through the asylum process the “right way.” Give how he helped our troops fight to Taliban, he was almost certainly going to win his case and get a green card.

Now Trump’s ICE has thrown him in jail, all to meet QUOTAS.
