The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE.
Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009.

also, to the extent that people might think he *is* secretly a nazi, it is the result of:
- platner having a nazi tattoo for decades and having known for some years that it was a nazi tattoo
- participating in a long interview with a known antisemite
- approvingly retweeting another known antisemite
