Olga Miranda, president of the SEIU Local 87 union, which represents thousands of janitors in the city, said immigration officials showed up at two buildings downtown on Friday. Federal immigration officials did not confirm the action when asked Monday. But an Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, official denied that the agency had any involvement in any action. Miranda declined to say which buildings were targeted, but said hundreds of her members who clean downtown offices stayed away from work Friday evening. Miranda said federal agents showed up in plain clothes and presented badges that said "Department of Homeland Security" to building security when asked, after initially being turned away. One set of agents showed up in the late afternoon carrying an arrest warrant for a specific person, but none of her members were arrested, Miranda said. read more
The federal process isn't as simple as crossing out the old name and writing in a new one. It's a complicated switch across the bureaucracy, involving a top-down effort to update official documents, communications, maps, and charts. read more
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Trump officials discovered that 50 million taxpayer dollars were allocated to fund condoms to be distributed in Gaza. "That is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money," Leavit said. A report by the Jerusalem Post claimed that Hamas operatives have been repurposing condoms to create balloons filled with inflammable gases to strike targets in southern Israel since 2017. These condoms attached with improvised explosive devices often land in schools, farm lands and roads. In 2019, they started attaching these condom bombs to rocket-propelled grenades. The helium filled in these condoms were initially imported for medical purposes with Israel consent. read more

I think you're ignoring the fact that Jill Stein wanted Trump to win.
Jill Stein: How and Why I Will Stop Kamala Harris Winning the White HouseMany Green party voters play dumb and pretend that they didn't want to help Trump take the White House. The reason being to avoid responsibility for the natural result of their votes, probably like they try to avoid taking responsibility in many other aspects of their lives.

Then they try to hide behind the electoral system to say their single vote was meaningless, but that logic would apply to every election which was decided by more than a single vote. As if election results are decided without the action or inaction of every voter having an incremental impact; and that electoral maps like 1984 occurred in a vacuum or are a figment of our imagination.

Pelosi brought it up a year ago and was roundly criticized by the pro-Hamas crowd.
Pelosi faces criticism for suggesting some pro-Palestinian protesters are connected to RussiaMany of the fools who fell for "Buttery Males" in 2016 doubled down eight years later on "Genocide Joe." And, now that the DOJ has shut down investigations into that sort of thing, best of luck getting a firm answer anytime in the near future.

They all deny it, but Congo-Palestinians (Congo-Pal?) has a nice ring to it.
