Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Sunday called Chicago "a war zone," defending the Trump administration's deployment of federal forces

According to the complaint, agents at construction sites in Alabama targeted workers "who looked Latino" while leaving others on site unchallenged

The report show one in five U.S. Marshals and FBI agents, roughly half of DEA agents, over two-thirds of ATF personnel, and nearly 90% of HSI staff supported ICE at points this year

The case marks one of the first federal prosecutions tied directly to the doxxing of ICE personnel, a tactic that officials say has escalated in recent weeks

The exchange comes just days after a separate social media clash between the two officials that drew scrutiny from the Secret Service

A Los Angeles-area business owner has filed a $50 million lawsuit against federal immigration authorities, alleging he was violently detained during a September raid on his car wash.

President Trump echoed the comments in a post on Truth Social, writing that the attack was "the result of the Radical Left Democrats constantly demonizing law enforcement"

Patel also added that "these despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off."

The video in question spliced footage of ICE arrests with clips from the Pokémon anime and ended with mocked-up trading cards labeling detainees as "worst of the worst"

"When it comes to immigration my thoughts and heart are alot more nuanced than this video allows," said Theo Von on a post on X

The video features mocked-up trading cards featuring men DHS described as "worst of the worst," with alleged crimes like homicide and child molestation printed on them

The platform, known as ImmigrationOS, uses algorithms to sift through large datasets, flag potential violations, and direct enforcement officers toward priority cases

Newsom's office posted "Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today," later clarifying that he was referring to legislation meant to protect immigrant communities in California

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said this week that ICE has received more than 150,000 applications from "patriotic Americans," with 18,000 tentative job offers already issued

Matthew Kellegrew of the Civil Liberties Defense Center, which represents the creator of stopice.net, called DHS' actions "a patent, open attempt to chill free speech"

"It's a lot safer for the aliens themselves, for the public, for our law enforcement, and also it's a lot better financially," said DHS' Tricia Mclaughlin regarding the announcement

Retes wrote an op-ed on Tuesday saying that he was abused despite repeatedly identifying himself as an American citizen, claims that DHS labeled the claims as "smears"

The 2024 report, which concluded that that far-right attacks continued to outpace all other forms of domestic terrorism, was taken down from the DOJ's website between 11 and 12 of September

The department linked the rise in attacks to recent public comments by Democratic officials, including remarks by Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett who compared ICE to "slave patrols" over the weekend

Homeland Security also took a jab at "activist judges", a clear referente to U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams who ordered the facility to halt operations by late October

Critics accused DHS of promoting dehumanizing rhetoric and stoking division, particularly given that many undocumented migrants are asylum seekers or DACA recipients with no criminal record

The plan raises privacy concerns and could conflict with what the DOJ originally told states about the purpose of the data collection, which was to ensure compliance with federal laws

Previously, officers had to complete a "field operations worksheet" containing details about a target's identity, addresses, employment history, immigration status, and any criminal record

The new rules also prohibit the use of federal funds to "advance or promote DEI and/or DEIA" policies, raising concerns about impacts on hiring practices

The fines can reach as much as $998 per day and are often applied retroactively
