#Trump demanded on Wednesday that a #FederalReserve governor, #LisaCook, “resign, now!!!,” citing unconfirmed allegations that she *may* have engaged in mortgage fraud. It is the latest sign that the admin is ramping up its campaign to remake the #independent #CentralBank. Trump has pressured the bank to lower #InterestRates, which it has kept steady out of concern that his policies could cause #inflation.

Javier Sanchez Mendoza Jr. helped Sofi secure an H-2A visa, promising a job on a Georgia blueberry farm.
When she arrived, she was not sent out to work in the fields like the others. She was forced to live at his house and sign a marriage license.

Mario Guevara, the only known journalist detained by ICE on U. S. soil, has been held since June 14. For The Bitter Southerner, he writes about his experiences of solitary confinement, protection rackets, and ICE's attempts to prevent his release. "Since July 10, 2025, all pending criminal charges against Guevara have been dismissed, yet he remains in detention. Guevara has committed no crime, had no criminal history prior to his June 14, 2025 arrest, and has no pending criminal charges against him now," write The Bitter Southerner team.

The video I filmed of an ICE agent shoving a woman to the ground at 26 Federal Plaza, a New York City immigration courthouse, went viral.
Then, in a rare move, the government publicly reprimanded the officer, calling his actions “unacceptable.”

Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism.
ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees for a long time.
One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help.
He’s filed a habeas corpus claim in federal court and there’s a petition circulating for his release.
He’s been held for more than eight months, put in solitary confinement and denied access to his new prosthetic legs.
Let’s tell his story. Let’s raise awareness for the horrendous conditions detainees are being forced to endure.
Let’s make ICE pay for what they’ve done.

Trump keeps promising he would enact the largest domestic deportation operation in American history, exceeding 'Operation Wetback' in the 50s, which deported hundreds of thousands of Mexicans.
It's a disturbing and misleading proposal, says a migration scholar:
