The former head of the FBI's Chicago field office has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, accusing it of pushing him out after he was wrongly blamed for a failed felony prosecution. In the suit filed Monday, Douglas DePodesta accused Andrew Boutros, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, of telling superiors he was to blame for a failed prosecution of six people who protested at an immigration enforcement facility in a Chicago suburb last fall. Boutros dropped all charges against them in May. Boutros’ office declined to comment. The FBI and Justice Department did not immediately return a request for comment.

People signing up for health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act for 2027 should expect higher premiums and fewer options. The enrollment period starts Sunday and ends in mid-January. The big changes include expiring financial assistance, rising rates, and stricter enrollment checks. Financial help is now restricted for many groups. Experts predict less coverage and higher prices, with average premiums rising by 13%. Those without subsidies will be affected most. New regulations will limit tax credits for certain immigrants, possibly increasing the uninsured.

The Trump administration’s online accounts have circulated images of a pumpkin carved with a sombrero design and a fake Halloween-themed background around a Black man apparently accused of food assistance fraud. The posts come only days before the midterm elections as the government spotlights its fraud crackdown and aggressive immigration enforcement. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins posted Saturday on the social platform X a photo of the Black man standing in front of stacks of what appear to be U.S. currency with the headline, SNAP FRAUDSTER, an apparent reference to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps. He is holding aloft what appears to be a bill set aflame. Both posts drew outrage from critics online.

Federal officials said in court documents that some deportations could begin as early as Monday from Louisiana. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says it does not comment on future deportation operations. Officials at the Pakistan embassy in Washington did not return messages seeking comment. The deportation plan was first reported by Bloomberg.
