Overview

• Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, Rep. Jim Jordan praised ICE as “doing the Lord’s work” and said he did not know the specifics of several recent incidents shown in viral clips.
• He argued that tensions stem from sanctuary jurisdictions and so‑called ICE‑free zones that he said refuse to honor detainers and decline cooperation with ICE.
• CNN’s Dana Bash cited videos of agents pinning a Chicago TV employee who was later released without charges and striking the Rev. David Black with a pepper ball outside a Chicago‑area facility.
• DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin defended the officer in the pepper‑ball incident, saying the clipped footage omits protesters blocking an ICE vehicle from leaving a federal site.
• The ACLU of Colorado filed a lawsuit against three administration officials, alleging federal officers have illegally arrested migrants in the state.
