Kash Patel threatens to sue over bombshell report detailing claims of excessive drinking and other concerning conduct

FBI Director Kash Patel has threatened to sue over bombshell claims reported in a magazine profile that the Trump administration official is deeply paranoid about being fired and often drinks to excess, alarming officials at the law enforcement agency and beyond. The alleged conduct, which Patel has called “false reporting,” has left officials alarmed about what would happen if the FBI was needed in a national crisis such as a terror attack. “That’s what keeps me up at night,” one unnamed official told The Atlantic, which published the claims Friday evening. The piece details a host of concerning incidents and allegations. On April 10, according to the magazine, the director flew into a paranoid “freak-out” when faced with a technical issue with a computer system. The report claims Patel thought it was a sign he was being fired and he began calling aides and allies in a panic.



Iran closes strait of Hormuz again ‘until US lifts blockade’
Iranian officials say they have reversed the reopening of the strait of Hormuz and reimposed restrictions on the vital shipping lane after the US said it would not end its blockade of Iranian ports. A UK maritime agency reported that Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) ships had fired at a tanker as it attempted to pass through the strait on Saturday. Reuters reported that an Indian-flagged vessel carrying crude oil had also been attacked while in the waterway. Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya joint military command said on Saturday that Tehran had restored the strait to its “previous status” and was now “under strict management and control by the armed forces”. Iran said the restrictions would remain if Washington did not “ensure full freedom of navigation for vessels travelling from Iran to destinations and from destinations to Iran”.

Union ironworker takes on Big Lie-pushing MAGA radical in battle for critical House seat

Brian Poindexter for Congress: Brian Poindexter is a union worker and city councilman who has worked hard his entire life in machine shops, on construction sites, driving trucks, and serving his neighbors. He’s the perfect candidate to win over the working-class voters of Ohio’s 7th district, which is currently represented by a Republican who has spent his two terms in office towing the MAGA party line — and racking up a slew of nasty allegations, including domestic violence. Will you chip in to to help jump-start Brian’s campaign and help Democrats pick up this vital and winnable House seat?


Iran negotiator or private investor? Raskin launches investigation into Jared Kushner
House Judiciary Democrats are launching a new investigation into President Donald Trump’s son-in-law — and Iran ceasefire negotiator — Jared Kushner, citing his “glaring and incurable conflict of interest.” In a letter obtained first by MS NOW, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., writes that Kushner’s dual roles as Trump administration peace envoy and leader of a private equity firm have “been haunting American foreign policy since President Trump returned to Washington in 2025,” with the Iran war only compounding concerns that Kushner’s financial work could distort his priorities. “Your client Saudi Arabia,” Raskin writes, “wants to see a continuation and escalation of President Trump’s Iran war, but the American people have an interest in minimizing the loss of American lives and treasure in this conflict.” “To whom do your professional obligations and fiduciary duties belong?” Raskin asks in the letter, which was sent to Kushner, his firm, and the State Department on Thursday.

Take Action: Don't let Trump bring back the draft!


Armed off-duty cop tried to incite violence at ICE protest at school
A police official in Arizona has been placed on administrative leave after showing up armed to a student-led protest and provoking an altercation that led to the arrest of a teenage girl. The officer told fellow police who arrived on the scene that he attended the students’ immigration rights protest with the intent of acting as an agent provocateur, according to a news report. Dusten Mullen, a sergeant with the Phoenix Police Department, has been suspended with pay pending an internal review of his conduct at a protest at Hamilton High School in Chandler, Arizona, on January 30, according to Phoenix Police Chief Matthew Giordano. “My plan is legitimately to just let them all assault me and you guys arrest them all and I’ll keep it on film,” Mullen said, according to a police report obtained by the local TV news site. “I also have other people filming from a distance.”

Deaths of migrants in ICE custody hit record high under Trump
The number of immigrants who have died while in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody has reached an all-time high this fiscal year. Twenty-nine people have died in ICE custody since October, the start of the federal government's fiscal year, already surpassing 2004's toll of 28, the previous record, according to government data. The most recent death was of 27-year-old Aled Damien Carbonell-Betancourt, a Cuban man held in ICE custody in Miami, Florida. According to an initial report released by ICE on the evening of April 16, Carbonell-Betancourt was found unresponsive in his cell on the morning of April 12. The report lists the cause of death as a "presumed suicide," but the official cause remains under investigation.

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-de... A new report finds the number of people in ICE detention has nearly doubled in Trump's first year back in office, driven by indiscriminate arrest policies that have locked up more and more people without criminal records, "an unprecedented situation for immigration detention." We break down the numbers with Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, which published the report. Reichlin-Melnick explains that ICE's annual budget has approximately quintupled, even as 2025 marked the agency's deadliest year so far. Four more people have already died in detention in just the first two weeks of 2026. "Crucially, all of this has been slower than they wanted," he adds. "Their hope was to have over 100,000 people in detention by today; they've hit 70,000."

MIDDLEBORO REVIEW AND SO ON



We’re demanding ICE accountability every day―because ICE’s abuses are ongoing and vicious.

Last year was the deadliest year for people in ICE custody in more than two decades.1 And after an ICE officer killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, people organized more than 1,200 rallies and vigils across the country―including outside of the notorious ICE black site detention camp known as Alligator Alcatraz in the Florida Everglades.

For months, our allies at The Workers Circle have been organizing a weekly Sunday vigil outside of Alligator Alcatraz, bringing hope, light, and song to those detained inside in inhumane conditions.

Relatives of detained individuals have come to the vigils, to be as close to their loved ones as they can. Ninety-year-olds with walkers and wheelchairs come every weekend. Everyday people, activists, and faith leaders come week after week to shine a spotlight on ICE’s abuses.

In order to keep up the momentum, The Workers Circle has been renting buses every weekend, bringing people from across the state of Florida. And after ICE’s killing of Renee Good, they rented four buses, bringing people to the Everglades from Miami, Ft. Myers, and beyond.  

Hold ICE accountable and let ICE’s detainees know that we will not look away. Help fund weekly vigil buses to Alligator Alcatraz by splitting a donation between the Coalition on Human Needs and The Workers Circle today.

SPLIT A DONATION

Alligator Alcatraz Vigil

ICE claims to be arresting violent criminals, but according to a report from the Cato Institute, of the tens of thousands of people currently in ICE detention centers, more than 73% have no criminal convictions.2 In fact, ICE is arresting more people with traffic violations than people with violent criminal convictions.

CHN is helping people send hundreds of thousands of messages to Congress to rein in ICE, as well as promoting rallies and now supporting the Alligator Alcatraz vigils.

We will not be silent in the face of ICE’s ongoing abuses. Help send more vigil buses to Alligator Alcatraz by splitting a donation between the Coalition on Human Needs and The Workers Circle today.
