A Wisconsin State Trooper was detained by ICE for 24 hours.
Carel Aaron Van Der Merwe, 21, immigrated legally to the United States with his family at age 14 and has spent the last 7 years waiting for his asylum application to be adjudicated.
DHS issued him a federal work permit valid through 2030, which cleared him to be a cop.
And yet, despite all this, ICE still arrested him at an airport in Madison while boarding a flight.
He showed them a valid work permit and his pending asylum status, but according to his legal team, the ICE agents told him they "did not care," put him in handcuffs, and then transferred him to the Dodge County Detention Facility.
Van Der Merwe was released, but he's still under supervision with electronic monitoring while his deportation and removal proceedings continue before an immigration judge.

This is so true and still true in a lot of countries. What has happened to North America?
Replying to @AmeriCactus @Acyn
At least four distinct ones appear in the short statement.
Straw man: it recasts the impeachment articles (War Powers violations, unauthorized hostilities, civilian-casualty rules, extrajudicial actions) as simple opposition to military “victory.”
False dichotomy: it presents only “attacked for losing” versus “attacked for winning,” excluding legality or process grounds.
Begging the question: it treats “winning” and “success” as settled premises rather than contested claims.
Appeal to novelty: “first time in American history” is offered as if uniqueness itself proves the effort illegitimate.
Rhetorically it also relies on antithesis and loaded framing (“impeachment for success”) to make the charges sound absurd by construction.

It’s good that Stephen Miller is getting a bigger office because he’s going to need it for all the subpoenas we’re going to send him.

Whether they were 100 years old or young first-time voters, we saw huge turnout from Asian Americans in key states like Georgia and Texas.
But we can’t take their votes for granted. We have work to do to deliver the lower costs these communities deserve.

At least 159 women will serve in the new Congress.
That's a record.
