JUDGE REFUSES TO SILENCE WORKERS
 |
VA Secretary Doug Collins tried to terminate the union contract covering more than 320,000 VA workers. On Friday, a federal judge blocked that from happening.
US District Judge Melissa DuBose issued a preliminary injunction ordering Collins to reinstate the collective bargaining agreement. Nurses. Caretakers. Doctors.
The termination, Judge DuBose wrote, “seems substantially motivated by the Plaintiffs’ history and frequency of vocally opposing changes to labor policies.”
AFGE National President Everett Kelley said: “No one can retaliate against workers for standing up for their rights.”
The judge just proved him right.
DEPORTATION WAREHOUSE STOPPED COLD
 |
On Wednesday, a federal judge blocked the regime from moving forward with its planned $215 million immigration detention warehouse in a small Maryland town.
Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown argued that DHS and ICE “disregarded federal law” to fast-track the project. There was no environmental review, no public comment, and no consultation with the state. The plan was to pack 1,500 people into a Williamsport warehouse.
“DHS purchased this facility while keeping the state and the public in the dark,” Brown said. “We will not let DHS and ICE rush through the proper legal process in their haste to ramp up deportations.”
The regime bought a warehouse and called it a detention center. Maryland fought back. Construction is stopped.
ICE IS LOSING IN COURT
 |
ICE lied. They told the public there were no arrest quotas. Then Innovation Law Lab took them to court and forced them to testify under oath.
The truth came out—eight arrests per day per team. Warrantless. No probable cause. Just numbers to hit.
“I made as many arrests as I could,” one agent testified.
Federal courts have now shut down warrantless ICE arrests in Colorado, DC, and Oregon. Innovation Law Lab’s Stephen Manning said: “The law is an impediment to the quotas.” And it’s working.
A COMMUNITY BLOCKS THE MACHINE
 |
A community in Monterey Park, California, packed a city council meeting that went past midnight on March 4. With 5,300 petition signatures in hand, they forced a unanimous vote to place a permanent citywide ban on data centers on the June ballot.
The developer threatened a lawsuit. The council didn’t blink.
The Dworkin Report helps steer this kind of resistance every day, driving more than 657,000 messages to Congress and running one of the biggest social media operations against Trump ever.

I have two questions for you today.
Are there examples in your community of people showing up and making change?
What do you think of ICE agents admitting under oath that they have arrest quotas?
🚨TWO URGENT ACTIONS TODAY: Trump's UNHINGED DHS pick—Markwayne Mullin—confirmation hearing tentatively set for next week! He defends ICE fatally shooting citizens, backs expelling US-born kids, objected to 2020 election results.
Tell your Senators: BLOCK this nomination! https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-your-senators-oppose-markwayne-mullin-for-dhs-secretary/
And tell your Reps to support Pam Bondi's impeachment: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-impeach-attorney-general-pam-bondi/
A FEW INFORMED COMMENTS AMONG MANY:
Now we have the receipts and ICE admitting to their crimes under oath. And we’re going to be using them to demand a huge refund come November!
Amen!! I’m all for refunds! But they can’t refund the profound, ongoing irreversible damage to the environment. The dead soldiers. The dead U.S. citizens. The dead Iranian citizens. The little girls trump bombed to death in school. The permanent damage to America’s international reputation and trustworthiness.
I want justice! I want each and every member of trump’s fan club put on PUBLIC trial and locked up or worse for what they’ve done in just one year… and this has to happen NOW, because we can’t survive another three years of this.
Well said, Wis. Would like to add that we can't refund the immeasurable trauma and life-altering brutalization of people and their families who are just trying to build better lives by this reprehensible regime.
You are absolutely correct! And the trauma he has caused ALL of us on this planet - financially, psychologically, mentally, emotionally, literally. Once he’s gone, I pray that we’ll all be wiser, stronger, kinder and more accepting SURVIVORS.
It’s appalling: every life trump touches becomes a story of survival. Or, most tragically, not surviving. From the children he raped to the nation he betrayed to the world and planet he plundered.
Yes, you've hit on the really important part. That WE LEARN FROM THIS AND DO BETTER GOING FORWARD FOR ALL PEOPLE (or as I like to say, all living things not just humans).
Didn't DOGE promise a $2000 refund from all the "waste, fraud, abuse" last year? I'm still waiting on that one, too!
I think it's very important that ICE officers are admitting they've been told to indiscriminately hit arrest numbers without warrants or cause. The more people who talk, the more the truth about the cruelty of this regime comes out. The tide is beginning to turn, but it needs to turn faster.
Change is happening and We the people need to stand strong and not back down.
ICE GESTAPO ABUSE should not require a JUDGE and ALL INVOLVED ELECTED OFFICIALS to abide by COMMON SENSE, RESPONSIBLE ACTION and HUMAN DECENCY!
This is not political, but it is! This if from MASSACHUSETTS CONGRESSWOMAN LORI TRAHAN regarding the ICE GESTAPO arrest of a 14 YEAR OLD
Last night, I learned that a 14-year-old girl in Marlborough – a child with no criminal history – had been detained by federal immigration agents from the Department of Homeland Security.
As a mother of a 15- and 11-year-old, I was furious. And I got to work.
I got in touch with the young girl’s attorney to see how we could help, and I immediately demanded her release. What became clear was that this wasn’t an immigration action – it was an attempt to target a child so that federal agents could smoke out her father who they wanted to arrest.
This isn’t the first time we've seen this playbook. Two months ago, ICE detained five-year-old Liam Ramos in Minnesota – a little boy in a blue bunny hat with a Spiderman backpack – under similar circumstances. A federal judge ordered his release and called the ordeal “cruel” and “bereft of human decency.” The country was horrified.
Now, it was happening again. Here in Massachusetts. In our district.
By coordinating with our state and local partners, we demanded answers and pushed for her release through every available channel. I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, Marlborough Mayor Christian Dumais, and State Representative Danielle Gregoire – all of whom were instrumental in this process and committed to protecting our community.
Thanks to those efforts and the tireless work of the girl’s attorney, a federal judge issued an order this afternoon that she be returned to Massachusetts and reunited with her family.
This is the right outcome. It could not have come soon enough.
But I want to be direct with you: this should never have happened in the first place.
The fact that it took a federal court order to return a child to her family is a damning indictment of DHS policy. And it raises serious questions that demand answers:
What directives are being issued to federal agents authorizing the detention of minors?
Who approved this?
What is DHS doing to ensure it never happens again?
We were fortunate this case moved quickly. The next family may not be so lucky. That’s why I won’t stop pushing for the accountability and oversight this community – and every family in America – deserves.
This cannot become the new normal.
Sincerely,
Lori Trahan
Member of Congress
