[b]ICE Arrested a U.S. Citizen—Twice—During Alabama Construction Site Raids. Now He's Suing. (Plus other lawsuits).[/b]
“Venegas is one of many documented cases of U.S. citizens being violently detained and arrested during indiscriminate federal immigration sweeps. The Institute for Justice is also representing George Retes, an Army veteran and U.S. citizen. Retes says he was pepper-sprayed, dragged out of his car and thrown on the ground during a July raid on a legal marijuana company in California. Despite being a citizen, he alleges he was detained by ICE for three days, during which he says he was kept in solitary confinement, not allowed a phone call or lawyer, and never presented before a judge.
On August 20, five U.S. citizens in Southern California filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security over their arrests by immigration agents. One of the plaintiffs, Cary Lopez Alvarado, was nine months pregnant when ICE and U.S. Border Protection agents arrested and shackled her. She alleges she went into labor prematurely as a result of her wrongful arrest and assault.”

[b]Trump's legal crackdown on "sanctuary" cities and states yields few results so far.[/b]
“But eight months into Mr. Trump's second administration, the effort to exert pressure on these jurisdictions has yielded few tangible results, with most lawsuits still unresolved and local Democratic leaders doubling down on policies that limit or bar cooperation with federal immigration officials.
The Justice Department has cited only one case in which a jurisdiction — Louisville, Kentucky — has abandoned its sanctuary policies in the face of legal actions or threats.”

[b]Leaked texts on Scott Bessent’s phone suggest the White House got played bailing out Argentina—and U.S. soybean farmers are the casualties.[/b]
“The White House’s plan to aid Argentina appears to have backfired.
According to a photo of a private text on the phone of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Argentina responded to the treasury secretary’s $20 billion bailout by turning around and removing its export taxes on soybeans and striking a huge new deal with China. That diminished the price of U.S. soybeans and weakened U.S. trade leverage with China, which immediately pulled out of its existing arrangements with soybean farmers in America’s heartland.”

[b]GOP-Appointed Judge Issues Scathing Rebuke of Trump ‘Limiting Free Speech’[/b]
“A Republican-appointed federal judge in Boston sharply ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration’s policy targeting foreign students and faculty for pro-Palestinian activism violated the First Amendment’s free speech protections.
The decision by Judge William Young, appointed by President Ronald Reagan, came in a lawsuit filed by academic groups, including the American Association of University Professors and the Middle East Studies Association, challenging visa revocations and deportations tied to political expression. The judge stated that the policy chilled political speech and constituted ideological retaliation.”

[b]A class action lawsuit tries to block the Trump administration’s efforts to merge personal data.[/b]
“A class action federal lawsuit filed Tuesday argues the Trump administration’s actions that aggregated personal data on hundreds of millions of Americans from various federal agencies violated federal privacy laws and the U.S. Constitution, put sensitive data at risk of security breaches, and could lead to the disenfranchisement of eligible voters.
The suit argues that the Department of Homeland Security, along with the Department of Government Efficiency team, is “working rapidly to create precisely the type of ‘national data banks’ the American people and Congress have consistently resisted, and the Privacy Act was designed to prevent.””

[b]American College of Physicians Calls for Removal of Secretary Kennedy at HHS.[/b]
“The American College of Physicians (ACP), representing 162,000 internal medicine physicians, calls on President Trump and Congress to replace Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to protect public health. Secretary Kennedy’s actions have undermined and destabilized our public health infrastructure, shown a blatant disregard for decades of evidence-based, proven science, and have spread dangerous medical misinformation, sowing chaos and confusion and putting lives at risk. We have lost confidence in his leadership and call for him to be removed and replaced with a qualified health expert with appropriate and relevant knowledge and experience.”
