In a classroom with desks cluttered with thick legal books about immigration law, recruits learn about how the Fourth Amendment governs their work. And on a firing range littered with shell casings, new recruits for Immigration and Customs Enforcement practice shooting their handguns. "Instructors, give me a thumbs up when students are ready to go," a voice over the loudspeaker said before a group of about 20 ICE recruits practiced drawing and firing their weapons. August 22, 2025 at 3:30 PM EDT In a sort of "Al Capone goes down for tax evasion" moment, a federal judge has ordered Alligator Alcatraz, the hastily constructed immigrant detention center in the Everglades, shut down. It wasn't shuttered for its gruesome conditions, but because in their zeal to build a wetland black site as quickly as possible, Florida officials and the federal government skipped out on the required environmental review. Hey, we'll take it. August 22, 2025 at 3:29 PM EDT A cartoon by Jack Ohman.

The disclosure represents the latest Trump administration effort to repair self-inflicted political wounds after failing to deliver on expectations that its own officials had created through conspiracy theories and bold pronouncements that never came to pass. By making public two days worth of interviews, officials appear to be hoping to at least temporarily keep at bay sustained anger from President Donald Trump's base even as they continue to sit on other evidence they had suggested was being prepared for public release. August 22, 2025 at 11:30 AM EDT President Donald Trump delivered a rambling 10-minute pep talk to federal law enforcement carrying out his occupation of Washington on Thursday night instead of going on patrol with them, as he promised. Trump showed up at the U.S. Park Police's operations center along the Anacostia River, located 5.4 miles from the White House. August 22, 2025 at 10:30 AM EDT The FBI on Friday raided the Maryland home of President Donald Trump's former national security adviser turned frequent Trump critic John Bolton, supercharging the United States' descent into authoritarianism as he weaponizes the federal government against his perceived enemies. The New York Post reported that FBI Director Kash Patel personally ordered the raid on Bolton's home, claiming that it's related to allegations that Bolton is in possession of classified documents. August 22, 2025 at 9:30 AM EDT In Donald Trump's world, nothing says freedom like targeting art and museums. In the wake of recent attacks on the Smithsonian's choice to feature more than just straight, white artists, the White House has created a detailed list of artists it deems too woke. August 22, 2025 at 9:00 AM EDT By Christine Mai-Duc for KFF Health News Abortion rights groups are backing California Democrats in the escalating battle to redraw congressional maps, warning that Republicans are rigging seats on the heels of deeply unpopular cuts to safety net health programs and restrictions on reproductive care.

Related | Check out Trump's dumb new plan to rig elections August 21, 2025 at 8:01 PM EDT What's a law firm to do to show how much it loves Donald Trump? Sure, it can eliminate all diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and bribe the president with millions in pro bono legal work, but what if they want to really stand out? How about just straight-up working for the administration for free? That seems to be the approach that both Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison and Kirkland & Ellis have settled on. The New York Times is reporting that the two firms, both of which cut deals with the administration to avoid being targeted by one of Trump's many punitive executive orders, have branched out and are doing trade deals now, apparently.
