Consider This from NPR - Congress is investigating cases of U.S. citizens detained in immigration raids

U.S. citizens have been arrested in the Trump Administration’s aggressive immigration crackdown. According to ProPublica, at least 170 have been arrested or detained by immigration agents since President Trump took office for his second term.


In response, Texas Rep. Robert Garcia and Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut — both Democrats — have announced an investigation into these detentions.

It is incredibly concerning that now anyone can be targeted,” Rep. Garcia tells NPR. “It’s important that we begin documenting all of this.”

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Democrats Lost Control. Now, You Pay With the Government Shutdown.

As the week closes out, the government shutdown has officially become the second-longest in American history, and Democrats have made it clear they don’t intend to vote to reopen it soon.


It’s clear why they’re holding the government hostage: Democrats keep backing losing causes—open borders, defunding police, pro-Palestine protests, and trans athletes in women’s sports—with no leader strong enough to steer them through. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down their strategy and what Republicans must do to end the shutdown on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”


“ We had an election. You guys, whether Republicans or Democrats, lost, and now you're kind of poor losers and you're saying you're losing in chess so you wanna overthrow the board and say, 'I'm gonna shut it all down.'" And then public opinion starts to go against the people who shut down. I think we're at that point now where the Democrats are seeing a diminishing return on their investment of shutting the government down.”

WSJ What’s News - What Xi’s New Playbook for Trump Means for U.S.-China Trade

P.M. Edition for Oct. 24. During President Trump’s second term, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has adopted a playbook for dealing with the U.S. president that’s offered concessions but also hits back harder. WSJ chief China correspondent Lingling Wei discusses how that’s played out so far, and what it means for the upcoming meeting between the two leaders. Plus, investors are loving Intel again—its stock has almost doubled this year; the company has announced investments from SoftBank, Nvidia and the U.S. government; and yesterday’s earnings report showed momentum. But as WSJ Heard on the Street writer Asa Fitch tells us, that may not be enough to fix the company’s troubles. And the Pentagon said it is sending the Navy’s most advanced aircraft carrier to the Caribbean, a major escalation of the Trump administration’s military campaign in the region. Alex Ossola hosts.
