Republicans gave ICE an extra $75 billion – and they’re using that money to hire trigger-happy agents who don’t have nearly enough training. But more training isn’t the answer. ICE is out of control and needs full-scale overhaul.

ICE officer training is 'deficient' and 'broken,' former agency lawyer tells congressional forum

The Department of Homeland Security is rapidly scaling up the number of deportation officers, raising concerns that it will sacrifice proper screening and training of applicants.

The Pentagon’s move to bring Grok into its classified systems, while pressuring Anthropic to drop key safeguards, is deeply alarming. Undermining AI safety and civil liberties protections could cause large-scale harm. We can’t let this happen.

Musk's xAI and Pentagon reach deal to use Grok in classified systems

I didn’t go, but I did listen. Donald Trump lied during his State of the Union speech more times than I could count. I mean, at one point, he literally said “the roaring economy is roaring like never before.” Look around, Don.

Border Patrol left a nearly blind refugee for dead, miles from his home. They’re responsible for Shah Alam’s death and they should be held responsible.

Near-blind refugee found dead in Buffalo after release by US Border Patrol

A nearly blind refugee from Myanmar missing since his release from a Buffalo jail into the custody of U.S. Border Patrol has been found dead on a downtown street, city authorities said on Wednesday.

Last year, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the World Health Organization. But now, he wants to spend $2 billion just to recreate the systems and services the WHO already provides for a fraction of that cost. Trump should just admit he made a mistake.

After blasting WHO costs, Trump officials propose more expensive alternative

HHS proposes spending $2 billion a year to re-create systems the U.S. accessed through the WHO at a fraction of the cost, according to officials briefed on the matter.

ICE is killing people – at times through deadly force, but also by denying vital medication in detention centers, scaring patients away from hospitals, arresting family members who serve as caregivers, and causing immeasurable harm to mental health.

This White House cover-up needs to end. It’s not that complicated: we need to release all the files and hold everyone – whether they’re a president or a prince – accountable.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

I visited Clairemont High and met with Jeffrey Thomas, who leads the College, Career Technical Education (CCTE) Pathway Program at SDUSD and is an active member of AFSA Local 134. It was so great to see how impactful his work with CCTE programs is for students in our district!

The Trump Administration continues to try to censor and erase history and science from our public spaces, including national parks, because it makes them uncomfortable. Shows you who the real snowflakes are.

Groups sue over Trump effort to ‘erase’ history, science in national parks

The coalition behind the lawsuit argues the alterations, or potential changes, at various parks undermine their very purpose to educate and enlighten Americans.

10-year-olds should be focused on making friends, learning, and playing – not fearing where to hide if ICE comes. ICE isn’t going after criminals or doing normal immigration enforcement; they’re terrorizing our communities and children.

ICE has kids who are US citizens fearful for their classmates and searching online for the ‘safest places to live’ | CNN

CNN spoke with families whose children were born in the United States and have become afraid of ICE. They shared how the national immigration debate is impacting them.

ICE is arresting countless neighbors, coworkers, parents, and family members with no criminal records. Trump is tearing communities apart and making all of us less safe. When this Administration says they’re going after “the worst of the worst,” it’s a lie.

Trump’s Deportation Stats Depend on Those With No Criminal History

If that pattern were to stop, the Trump Administration’s deportation stats would likely plummet.

After Republicans killed the ACA health care tax credits last year, people like Natalie Richards (a 37 year old single mom in Texas) are now in impossible positions. They can’t afford health care and the medicines they need to live.

A single mom's ACA premium jumped from $3 to $164. Now she's skipping her medications.

Natalie Richards, 37, said her health insurance premium skyrocketed when enhanced ACA subsidies expired. She can no longer afford her medications.

Just since October, courts have ruled more than 4,400 times that the Trump Administration is detaining immigrants illegally. They aren’t “enforcing” immigration law – they’re breaking it, in horrific and violent ways.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.

The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

Don’t forget that in 2024, Trump asked Big Oil for $1 billion in campaign donations. His recent billion dollar handout to the coal industry and this move to gut greenhouse gas emission regulations are part of a corrupt deal.

Trump repeals U.S. government’s power to regulate climate

The Environmental Protection Agency finishes the repeal of the “endangerment finding,” a landmark legal opinion underpinning policies regulating climate change.

ICE wants to operate “like Amazon Prime, for human beings” so they're buying up warehouses for mass detention. That’s sickening, and it's even more reason to claw back the no-strings-attached billions of dollars that Republicans gave to ICE.

ICE holds people in disgusting conditions. Now it’s turning warehouses into camps | Moira Donegan

The Trump administration has bought warehouses across the US that could hold thousands. But resistance is growing

As San Diego recovers from yesterday’s storm and prepares for more incoming rain, here’s a reminder on how to report damage to the city and county. Stay safe, everyone.
