It's my responsibility to protect them, and so I've been patrolling the city streets following armed, masked thugs trying to kidnap my neighbors. On July 10, Caravello was present at the site, and, according to witnesses, he was arrested directly after he attempted to dislodge a tear gas canister from underneath a protester's wheelchair.
What are scientists, clinicians, and public health practitioners supposed to do in this moment? What use is research when our patients might be deported tomorrow?

The fate of individual patients still matters.
Today every senator, every single one, will pick a side: Do you stand with the American people who are exhausted of forever wars in the Middle East? Or stand with Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth as they bumble us headfirst into another war?

Pretti, an ICU nurse, had come to the aid of a woman whom agents knocked down before ICE members turned their attention to him wrestling him to the ground and pummeling him with their fists.

After the gun was taken, multiple ICE agents fired shots at Pretti, killing him.
In an Instagram post, Equal Rights Oregon announced that "after thoughtful consideration," it was moving forward with the "difficult decision" not to pursue Initiative Petition 33, known as the Equal Rights for All measure.

More than a thousand people braved the cold at Boston Common on Saturday to demonstrate against Trump's immigration policy. There was not a better time for Boston to protest ICE than in 15-degree weather following a snowstorm.

The strike is a response to the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minnesota.
