01/29/26 Enemies of the State

Today, we dig into the accelerating surveillance state—and who it’s really aimed at. We break down new reporting on the powerful tools Immigration and Customs Enforcement is using to track not just migrants, but protesters and U.S. citizens, including secret watchlists and growing databases exposed by leaked documents. We examine chilling video moments where ICE officials openly describe building databases that label Americans as “domestic terrorists.”

We also cover the Federal Bureau of Investigation search of a Georgia election center, a rough day in court for federal authorities as judges order the release of Minnesota refugees targeted in ICE crackdowns, and sharp rebukes aimed at Department of Homeland Security leadership— including a judge scolding officials for publishing photos of protesters online. As surveillance expands and accountability wavers, we ask: who decides when dissent becomes a threat?
