"Right now, there is a strategy coming from the White House. Here is how that strategy works. You witness so much wrongdoing that your ability to be shocked begins to erode. You are hit with so many scandals that the details blur together. Eventually, the effort required to stay informed becomes so draining that tuning out feels like the only option left. That is not a failure on your part. That is the goal."

What is a "Kavanaugh Stop"?

believes that the citizens and who were illegally detained likely could not sue because “what matters is the ‘reality of the threat of repeated injury.’” Somehow, Kavanaugh decided that the plaintiffs have “no good basis to believe that law enforcement will unlawfully stop them in the future based on the prohibited factors - and certainly no good basis for believing that any stop of the plaintiffs is imminent.”

“The disconnect between the Trump administration and what’s really going on in the oil world, and what American companies want, is huge,” says Lorne Stockman, an analyst with Oil Change International, a clean energy and fossil fuels research and advocacy organization.

Trump seems to view the situation almost like “a Settlers of Catan board—you kidnap the president of Venezuela and, ipso facto, you now control all the oil.”

Nothing has changed.

Model Management, has profited from using foreign models who came to the United States on tourist visas that did not permit them to work here, according to three former Trump models, all noncitizens, who shared their stories with Mother Jones. Financial and immigration records included in a recent lawsuit filed by a fourth former Trump model show that she, too, worked for Trump’s agency in the United States without a proper visa.

Get your news from a source that’s not owned and controlled by oligarchs. Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily. Republican nominee Donald Trump has placed immigration at the core of his presidential campaign. He has claimed that undocumented immigrants are “taking our jobs” and “taking our money,” pledged to deport them en masse, and vowed to build a wall on the Mexican border. At one point he demanded a ban on Muslims entering the country. Speaking to supporters in Iowa on Saturday, Trump said he would crack down on visitors to the United States who overstay their visas and declared that when any American citizen “loses their job to an illegal immigrant, the rights of that American citizen have been violated.” And he is scheduled to give a major address on immigration in Arizona on Wednesday night.

The trappings of law await Nicolás at the courthouse at 500 Pearl Street in lower Manhattan. There is an indictment. There will be prosecutors and defense counsel, a judge and briefs. In the end, when all is said and done, and if the administration does not colossally bungle this case, there will probably be a conviction and a hefty prison sentence.

But we cannot lose sight of what has brought us here ...

Wait for 2025!

149,070 by in 2024
by the two operational branches of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in fiscal year 2024. That includes 113,430 administrative arrests (76.1% of total arrests) conducted by ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, as well as arrests: 3,032 by and 32,608 by Security Investigations, the transnational criminal division of ICE.

usafacts.org/answers/how-many-

While criminal investigations and arrests are part of ICE’s mission, it is the administrative arrests made by ERO that are the focus of this page. ERO enforces immigration law — not criminal law — in the US interior, administratively arresting people outside the border regions who are in violation of the law (the border is handled by US Customs and Border Protection [CBP]). Only noncitizens (also called aliens in US immigration law) who have civil immigration violations are subject to administrative arrest, a key distinction from the HSI arrests that target citizens and noncitizens alike for alleged criminal conduct relating to transnational crime. ICE made 102,410 administrative arrests from January to November 2024, putting them behind the 10-year (2014–2023) average of arrests through November, and behind the 2023 arrest numbers. https://usafacts.org/answers/how-many-people-does-ice-arrest/country/united-states/#:~:text=While,numbers Based on Office of Homeland Security Statistics data that begins in FY 2014, monthly arrests have ranged from 2,450 in February 2021 to 19,040 in October 2013. Excluding February 2020–September 2021 when arrest totals dropped in response to factors including COVID-19, interim guidance under a new administration, and a reallocation by the Department of Homeland Security of ICE resources to the Southwest border to help CBP manage increased activity, the next-lowest monthly arrest total was 8,050 from January 2016. https://usafacts.org/answers/how-many-people-does-ice-arrest/country/united-states/#:~:text=While,2023,-%2E&text=Based,2016

Where the data comes from We stick to government data because it’s collected across administrations, and a lot of it isn’t accessible for people who don’t spend their days exploring Census microdata — but we do. Find the numbers We tap into hundreds of databases at the federal, state, and local level. If it’s tracked, we’ll find it. If it’s not, we’ll tell you that, too.

Bring them to life We turn the numbers into insights you can actually use. No jargon, no spin. Just charts, graphics, and data. Research and initiatives USAFacts transforms government data into powerful insights — fueling policy debates with unbiased facts, equipping Congress with timely information, and spotlighting the state of the nation in our flagship reports.

Writing “Merry Christmas” feels heavy when my family is listening to explosions in Kharkiv.

Still, I believe in good — and in the small ways we choose it and share it with others.

So… Merry Christmas.

I expect a preacher to draw a clear line against moral maximalism in order to protect young people from self-exploitation.

Everyone should be clear about the personal costs they impose on themselves when standing up for a good and just cause.

“Low costs” do not presuppose an ethic of sacrifice. Responsibility is gradual.

We do not need a generation of self-sacrificing young people!

Read ALT text

If you systematically benefit from a structurally unequal social order, you bear a particular shared responsibility to participate in reforms that reduce this inequality—at least where you have influence and the costs are low. We do not need a generation of self-sacrificing young people, but one that refuses to keep going the way their parents modeled.

"An unholy alliance of Russian oligarchs, South American drug lords, and tax evaders from around the globe – is successfully continuing its tactic of chipping away, bit by bit, at public access to company registers. "

Frank Felix Debatin
CEO, North Data

blog.northdata.com/money-laund

The perhaps most financially powerful lobby in the world – an unholy alliance of Russian oligarchs, South American drug lords, and tax evaders from around the globe – is successfully continuing its tactic of chipping away, bit by bit, at public access to company registers. The latest casualty is the ESM – the Czech register for Beneficial Owners, the directory of individuals who ultimately control companies. According to the website of the register, the Czech Ministry of Justice has announced that public access was shut down on December 17, 2025. Since then only so-called privileged users, such as authorities, have access. It was only in July that access to Malta’s company register was similarly restricted. These closures are justified by invoking the catch-all argument of “data protection.” However, the idea of data protection is to safeguard sensitive personal information – not to enable anonymous activity under the cover of a corporate shell. So far, the greatest success for the money laundering lobby was the erroneous ruling by the European Court of Justice in 2022, which restricted access to transparency registers. Since then, numerous countries have relied on this judgment to close their registers to the public once more. The plaintiff before the ECJ was a business partner of Russian oligarchs.
