Good Morning, News: Oregon DOJ Goes After Planned ICE Facility, the Incomplete Epstein Files, and Girl. Nicki Minaj Needs HELP

Attorneys with the Oregon Department of Justice are asking a federal judge to slam the brakes on Trump's plan to construct an ICE gulag immigrant detention center in the community of Newport, Oregon. As you may recall, the feds have been quietly scouting around for employees to run their impromptu jail, so they can use the local airport to fly hundreds of kidnapped detainees out of the country, most likely using planes they've purchased themselves. Oregon lawyers are accusing the Trump administration of violating the law by planning the detention center without going through the proper channels-because of course they haven't. "Téllez was on his way to drop his kids at school in north Portland when he was pulled out of his car by federal agents.

And that's too much. by 372. Worse still, those deaths were preventable, and our Jeremiah Hayden has the story on how we got here and where we need to be. In related news, experts are calling Portland's affordable housing program "a business model that's failing," citing frustratingly long wait times for those wanting to get into units, and a surplus of empty "affordable" apartments that are far too expensive, deemed uninhabitable, or too costly for landlords to run.
