Miami Herald: IL Governor Threatens to Charge Agents — DHS Responds
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has repeatedly criticized federal immigration enforcement, suggesting state prosecutors may investigate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents for alleged misconduct under the Trump administration. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have condemned his remarks, arguing they endanger federal personnel. Pritzker noted that Illinois and local prosecutors are reviewing possible legal action related to raids in immigrant communities.
Pritzker said, “These people should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration for the things that they did because the statute of limitations won’t have run.”Civil rights groups claim some operations involve racial profiling and have damaged trust with law enforcement. Pritzker stated, “The tables will turn someday.”
Pritzker added, “These people should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration for the things that they did because the statute of limitations won’t have run.”
Pritzker said, “They’re taking away people’s rights, you know, by not identifying themselves; they’re coming in with masks on. They’re coming in with unidentified vehicles.” He added, “Now, they’re acting like a bunch of thugs and taking away people’s free speech rights.”
Pritzker stated, “These are all things that need to be taken up again by an inspector general or somebody investigating at the federal level because they have immunity at the state level, but we’re looking at how we might be able to hold them responsible despite the fact of federal immunity.”

Biloxi Sun Herald: U.S. Navy Admiral Retires Early Amid Cartel Strikes
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has announced that U.S. Southern Command commander Admiral Alvin Holsey will retire at the end of the year after serving less than a year in the post. Lawmakers have criticized the decision, citing alleged legal and oversight concerns related to an expanded U.S. campaign of strikes in the Caribbean. A White House authorization reportedly permitting covert CIA lethal operations in Venezuela has also sparked controversy.
Holsey said, “It’s been an honor to serve our nation, the American people and support and defend the Constitution for over 37 years.” He added, “Serving as your commander and deputy for the past 34 months has been a tremendous honor.”

He should stay and refuse to carry out the illegal orders coming from Trump and Hegseth. Otherwise we will end up with a military run by war criminals and nincompoops.
Idaho Statesman: Idahoans rally against Trump. He responds with another crude tactic | Opinion
Looking across a sea of people at the rally, many of whom carried signs depicting their disdain for Trump, I was reminded of how America has turned on those least able to defend themselves as they take low-paying and often dangerous jobs American don’t want. A sign carried by a protester: “Inasmuch As Ye Have Done It Unto The Least Of My Brethren, Ye Have Done It Unto Me.” Jesus sends a message to evangelicals, white Christian nationalists and anyone who uses the Bible as a guidepost of the good life, but ignores one of the fundamental precepts of Christ’s teachings.
Another sign at the rally said it all. “First, They Come for the Immigrants,” a reminder that Trump starts with indefensible minority groups like Latinos. Then he goes after universities and free speech, a fundamental guarantee in the Bill of Rights. And then he goes after law firms who represented clients in Trump’s vengeful line of fire. And then he prosecutes those who prosecuted him.
Where will it all stop? Who’s next? We may not know the answers, but last Saturday proved that Idaho may be called a Red state, but there are plenty of blue-blooded Idahoans who won’t take Trump and his Idaho lackeys sitting down. They are not about to let him destroy our democratic way of life without making their case for “making America good again,” as one sign at the rally read.
As far as what’s next, I hope it’s more rallies as we head toward the 2026 midterm elections — our most immediate hope to stop the madness of Trump and a Republican Party gone rogue.

The Hill: Opinion: Chicago Police, ICE and the fraying of the thin blue line
In the dispatch logs, federal agents reported they were boxed in by 10 vehicles, under attack and requested urgent backup. In response, the Chicago Police Chief of Patrol can be heard on dispatch recordings ordered: “No units will respond.”
Let that sink in: A law enforcement officer, in mortal danger, was denied assistance, not because there was no aid available, but because of a command decision not to send help.

Kudo to the Chicago PD for giving the ICE pigs the support that they deserved — NONE!
The ICE pigs (and Border Patrol) need to stand down and get the f*ck out of Chicago and other cities.
