- Assessing the First Wave of Winter Storm Fern
The first wave of Winter Storm Fern has moved across the Southeast and lower Midwest, bringing a mix of snow, ice, and widespread travel disruptions that are already affecting freight movement. As forecasted, Interstate 40 has become the dividing line between snow to the north and significant ice accumulation to the south, creating dangerous road conditions across multiple states. Several major interstates have been partially or fully shut down as conditions deteriorated. Interstate 70 has experienced multiple closures throughout Missouri near St. Louis due to snow-covered roads and traffic accidents. First responders have reported difficulty reaching crash sites because of slick conditions and limited visibility. Farther south, nearly every interstate leading into Dallas has closed because of ice, effectively isolating the metro area for freight traffic. Despite these closures, officials report no widespread power outages in Texas or surrounding states so far. Conditions have also worsened steadily in… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago - Welcome to the American Winter
Photographs by Jack CalifanoThe six-car ICE convoy came to a stop and instantly dozens of people swarmed it, cellphones in hand, while others ran out of nearby houses—I saw a woman in gym shorts in the 20-degree weather—and began surrounding the masked and heavily armed agents who had spilled out of their black SUVs. The fury in the crowd felt almost like a physical force, as real as the cacophony of whistles and honking cars and angry chants: “ICE out! Fuck you! Go home!”The officers threw a protester to the slushy asphalt and piled on top of him, then cuffed him and dragged him away. The screaming only got louder. With their escape route blocked by protesters and their cars, the agents tossed out tear-gas canisters, the white clouds billowing up into the winter air. An injured man stumbled past me and vomited repeatedly into the snow.From where I stood,… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago - What MAGA Really Thinks of the Second Amendment
On January 23, 2016, Donald Trump notoriously declared, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters.” That statement was understood at the time as a metaphorical expression of the depth of Republican voters’ commitment to him. Ten years and one day later, his administration’s agents shot a disarmed man on the street in full view of the public. Perhaps we should have taken him not only seriously but also literally.The dynamic Trump observed is that he had created a bond with his supporters that no outside facts could break, even something as blatant as a cold-blooded killing on an American street. And that is the nub of the crisis into which we have plunged over the past decade. All politicians spin and distort to some extent, of course. Trump’s innovation was to grasp that, because the conservative movement had trained… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago - The Truth About ICE’s Recruiting PushIn the second Trump administration, immigration policy is made with big round numbers. There’s a formula: First the White House sets an ambitious goal—1 million deportations a year, 3,000 immigration arrests a day. Then it presses the federal workforce to meet the target. Last year, Trump officials pledged to double staffing at ICE by adding 10,000 new deportation officers by January 2026. Stephen Miller treated the recruitment drive as a priority on par with the deportation push, demanding daily updates on the pace of hiring. Immigration and Customs Enforcement held job expos in multiple cities and dangled $50,000 bonuses, student-loan forgiveness, and other perks before potential recruits.Just after New Year’s Day, the Department of Homeland Security declared victory, celebrating an ICE hiring spree that “shattered expectations” and achieved a “120% Manpower Increase.” DHS said it received more than 220,000 applications (many candidates applied for three or four different jobs) and… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago
- The ‘Unsustainable’ Clash Between Local Police and ICEIn 2023, the Department of Justice released a blistering report on the patterns and practices of the Minneapolis Police Department. The police force responsible for George Floyd’s death three years earlier, the DOJ wrote, regularly “uses unreasonable deadly force,” “unlawfully retaliates against people who observe and record their activities,” and “fails to adequately discipline police misconduct.” The department also engaged in the “inherently dangerous and almost always counterproductive” practice of shooting at moving cars. In one case, an officer who had the time and space to move out of the path of an escaping vehicle instead fired four shots at it. The officer’s use of force, the report said, “was reckless and unreasonable.”The Justice Department this month opted against conducting an investigation into the death of Renee Nicole Good, who was killed after an ICE officer fired shots into her moving Honda Pilot. The government is instead reportedly pushing to… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago
