They're finding out that living in ICE detention facilities while they wait for a court to deny their asylum claim isn't any fun, and they're choosing to return home on their own.]]>Mon, 25 May 2026 19:00:09 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[ICE]]><![CDATA[Illegal Immigration]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]><![CDATA[Venezuela]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/05/25/denver-post-with-no-options-left-venezuelan-family-walks-into-ice-custody-n2428556<![CDATA[It's Memorial Day, not Veterans Day. Still, CBS News thought it would mark the occasion by shining the spotlight on a small group of Vietnam veterans who are standing up to President Donald Trump's proposed triumphal arch in Washington, D.C. We could take or leave the arch. Still, we call B.S. on most of the arguments against it, like it will obscure the view of Arlington National Cemetery, or that it will be a monument to Trump himself. It's the nation's 250th birthday, and Trump is going all out.]]>Mon, 25 May 2026 18:00:33 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Veterans]]><![CDATA[Washington]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/05/25/cbs-news-for-group-of-vietnam-vets-opposing-trumps-proposed-arch-is-true-loyalty-n2428560<![CDATA[Remember what a busy day President Joe Biden had when the Transgender Day of Visibility fell on Easter Sunday? He had to juggle the two as if they were equivalent.

That is of course the same laptop computer belonging to Hunter Biden that, shortly before the 2020 election, social media outlets suspended or flat-out banned people for sharing stories about. In short, Twitter under previous ownership and other outlets were trying to help carry Joe Biden across the finish line by holding a pillow over the faces of anybody who might share damaging information about the Democratic candidate and his family.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 25 May 2026 08:40:00 -0400<![CDATA[Doug P.]]>https://twitchy.com/dougp/2026/05/25/miranda-devine-hunter-biden-n2428543<![CDATA[AOC is making moves indicating she may make a run for the White House in 2028.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 25 May 2026 08:00:00 -0400<![CDATA[justmindy]]><![CDATA[2028 Elections]]><![CDATA[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Kamala Harris]]><![CDATA[White House]]>https://twitchy.com/justmindy/2026/05/25/aoc-making-presidential-moves-n2428545<![CDATA[Welcome to the Memorial Day edition of Monday Morning Meme Madness.
