Bad News First

The news can be overwhelming, but it can also inform, inspire, and focus our engagement. Let’s gird our loins and take a quick peek.

But Here's the
Good News!

Encouraging developments don’t always make the headlines, But good news can provide us with hope and momentum, so let's take heart!
  1. Senate Democrats stood their ground and refused to authorize funding for Homeland Security in the absence of ICE reforms, most likely triggering a partial government shutdown.

  2. Immigration advisor Tom Homan announced the conclusion of Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota and National Guard troops were withdrawn from Chicago, Portland, and Los Angeles.

  3. A federal judge in Minnesota issued a scathing and detailed order finding overwhelming evidence that ICE unconstitutionally infringed on detainees’ right to counsel, while a judge in the district court for Washington DC ruled that the administration must facilitate the return of more than 100 Venezuelan immigrants wrongfully deported to El Salvador.
