Today I testified on behalf of @immcouncil in front of House Homeland's Border Security and Enforcement subcommittee. I testified about how Trump's diversion of thousands of law enforcement officers to mass deportation work is making us less safe. Watch my opening statement here.

Many of the literal Founders of this country voted against making English the official language of the nation in the late 18th century.

Get it? The joke is that we might kill some totally innocent people! Haha that’s funny, right?

A sitting member of Congress calls for the deportation of a bishop who asked Trump to show mercy to those in the country who are afraid. We are in a dark moment in this country and have abandoned our founding principles. God have mercy on us.

The person giving this sermon should be added to the deportation list.

Trump: "We could've won every war, but we really chose to be very politically correct, or wokey."

It would be an egregious violation of the Constitution's First Amendment to attempt to punish someone for advising another person of their rights under the law.

This is bad. ICE just told students here on student visas that if their school is going online-only this fall, the students must depart the United States and cannot remain through the fall semester. ice.gov/news/releases/…

Quick look at what inside a detainment tent looks like here at Alligator Alcatraz.

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

The White House just got this wrong in a press release. Embarrassing.

Chicago will be saved, and this FBI will continue to crush violent crime there, and all around the country. Heading to the Windy City now.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the top prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia. lawfaremedia.org/article/anna--…

This story is WILD. Trump sent Seal Team 6 into North Korea to plant a listening device. The operation went sideways within minutes, when a fishing boat was unexpectedly at the landing site. Seal Team 6 killed everyone on board, sunk the bodies, and fled. Congress was never told.

In 2019, on Trump’s orders, a @USNavy SEAL Team snuck into North Korea to try to plant a device to monitor Kim Jong-un’s communications. A wild story about how the mission went wrong, leaving unarmed North Koreans dead, but no listening device in place. nytimes.com/2025/09/05/us/…
