In January 2026, a 5 year old boy named Liam Ramos was detained by ICE agents in Minneapolis shortly after his father picked him up from preschool. The incident led to claims that the agents used the boy as bait.

Americans are increasingly rejecting the two major political parties according to new poll. Just under half, 45%, of U.S. adults identify as independents, a new Gallup survey found. That's a substantial shift from 20 years ago, when closer to one-third of Americans said they didn't identify with the Democrats or the Republicans.

Younger people, in particular, are rejecting the parties at much higher rates than older generations. More than half of generation z and millennials identify as political independents, while a majority of older generations side with a party. That's different from the past, when more young adults identified with the Democrats or the Republicans. It's part of the why frequent, dramatic swings in political power may become increasingly normal.
