From New York, this is Democracy Now.

I've sent a letter to Christy Nem and to the Department of Homeland Security leadership,

asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend.

I'm asking for basic human decency.

No, we're absolutely not willing to put on pause any work that we will do to keep communities

The fact that Governor Pritzker is asking for that is shameful.

As ICE refuses to pause, its immigration raids in Chicago till after Halloween, federal border

patrols replacing ICE at half their field offices nationwide.

It's also been reported that Trump administration plans to build a new network of mass

Then the Israeli military's killing of Palestinian American journalist Shereen Abuakla was intentional.

So says a retired U.S. colonel who is the lead U.S. investigator.

He's now speaking out.

On May 11, 2022, Shrinabakla was killed intentionally by an IDF soldier.

The evidence clearly backed that up, and yet we as the American people failed to hold the IDF

accountable for that. The Biden administration failed to do things and need to be done,

There's one city for donors, developers, and insiders.

The people with access, the people whose priorities always come first.
