This man was taken to the hospital after being knocked unconscious and losing all feeling for 40 minutes. ICE threw him to the floor for the crime of "exercising 1st amendment rights." The journalist was taking photos of ICE agents in a public area of a govt building. #ICE

I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread👇

Federal judge tosses Trump's lawsuit against the @nytimes, less than four days after it was filed. The judge (a Bush appointee) calls the lawsuit "improper and impermissible." Trump is allowed to refile a new, shorter complaint if he wants.

The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters. Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence. These docs show she did not.

Cook, who remains at the Federal Reserve, has sued the president to resist her dismissal.
