The Hound 6/10

Hi there,

It’s Monday. Today, we’re talking about Los Angeles’ protests against immigration raids — and the disproportionate federal response, Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s return to the U.S., and more.

We’re also tracking ABC’s suspension of correspondent Terry Moran after criticizing Trump and Stephen Miller from a personal account — a retaliatory action against the reporter’s speech.

🖊️ Add your name to our petition to demand ABC reinstate Moran.

Hi there,

It’s Tuesday. Today, we’re talking about Trump’s efforts to target California with federal agents and funding cuts, the administration’s plans to obtain private citizens’ personal data, and more.

We’re also tracking disturbing instances of violence against reporters covering the protests in Los Angeles, which in addition to threatening their safety also undermines public interest.
