ICE violated rights of a US citizen and 21 others during arrests, Chicago activists allege
CHICAGO (AP) — Federal immigration agents violated the rights of 22 people, including a U.S. citizen, in immigration enforcement arrests during the first weeks of President Donald Trump’s second term, Chicago activists and attorneys alleged Monday. The arrests allegedly violate a 2022 agreement between Chicago groups and the federal government detailing how U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement officers can make “ collateral arrests,” where agents detain others besides those being targeted. The agreement, following a lawsuit over 2018 immigration sweeps, covers Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Wisconsin, which are under the ICE office in Chicago. “Every time you hear from this administration about how they’re rounding up gang members, terrorists, the worst of the worst, you need to take a dose of reality,” said Mark Fleming, an attorney with the National Immigrant Justice Center, said at a news conference. “You need to dig deeper to understand who exactly they are arresting.” The NIJC detailed alleged violations in a federal complaint filed last week on behalf of advocacy groups in Chicago. Among other things, the agreement says ICE agents can make a warrantless arrest only when they have evidence that an individual is likely to escape.

'That's a head scratcher': Tom Crean doesn't get Indiana basketball missing March Madness
Indiana basketball fans are calling foul on the NCAA Tournament selection committee, not because they're convinced the Hoosiers should be in, but because they know North Carolina shouldn't be in.

They play San Diego State to earn a No. 11 seed and a date against Ole Miss in the Round of 64. And IU is out .
