We need to reject these ICE facilities everywhere. Also, data centers are just as bad and suck up power YOU’RE paying for.

Just wait until they find out the DOE is pressing states to submit plans for nuclear reactors by April, and that the DOE tossed hundreds of pages of regulations, safety protocols, and environmental impact requirements for said reactors.

I didn’t mean to be glib. This is actually a really interesting article and you should read it. Even some of the people holding β€œMass Deportation Now” signs don’t like how it’s playing out in reality.

What they don't talk about is the relative impossibility of legal immigration for people from Central and South America--backlogs of 20 to 70 years to legally emigrate to the USA

Before they could ever believe that, they would have to understand how slow and difficult every single step in the process is when you do it the legal way. Snatching people at their hearings is making it 100% impossible to do it the legal way. None of what they are doing is about illegality.

Even Fox News' viewers, when you talk to them, say "they should come here legally". Unfortunately, they're told lies that "2 million criminal illegal aliens came during Biden's term, so they don't ever find out that 90% of detained people are in the legal process without any convictions.

Unfortunately the media is controlled top to bottom by people who need to be educated on immigration: careerists and the rich owners. There’s a reason why there’s no pushback when these douches lie about how the law works.

People need to be educated on immigration. Having asylum doesn't mean illegal. Having temporary status doesn't mean illegal. It can take years for someone to get a green card, and how can voters pressure pols to fix the process BEFORE we let Miller run things.

Pew finds 60% oppose pausing visas and 66% oppose nixing asylum! People overinterpreted 2024 as a seismic shift to Trump on immigration. But the data is showing very broad opposition to the restrictionist, ethnonationalist, anti-humanitarian aspects of Trumpism. 5/5

Vast camps are central to Trumpism. Stephen Miller has long been very excited about them. Backlash is another sign that opposition to Trump/Miller runs deeper than revulsion at ICE. There's real resistance to the whole ideological project of mass deportations. 4/

This passed unnoticed: New Pew poll finds 64% oppose mass detention of migrants while their cases are decided.

That directly repudiates MAGA. Trumpism treats the release of migrants awaiting hearings as a mortal blow to the nation. The broader public does not. 3/

These vast new prison camps would allow for the detention of 80,000 more migrants, more than doubling Trump/Miller's capacity for deportations. Yet resistance is breaking out in red Virginia, reddish parts of New Jersey, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Utah, and more. 2/

Kiddies who made it out of the ICE dungeon report sighting a schoolmate. Before this, the school district had no information on their whereabouts. The family has now been connected with a lawyer.

Youngsters who escape a govt dungeon are the only way to track abducted children? This is fine!

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

🚨 Pls call ur Senators at 202-224-3121. Pls reply to my post with a βœ… if/when u do. It will encourage others & will let me know if my messaging is working. I hope it’s working bc MAGAs are HEAVILY promoting the bill & deceiving people by characterizing it as a simple Voter ID bill. It’s not that! 😑

Just to throw this in at the end: if you can afford a donation, the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund is helping detainees post bond and get them out of custody ASAP. A worthy cause.

they're trying to be coy about salivating over the prospect of raping women, they'll contest that but if pushed to explain, that's exactly what they would describe. forced pregnancy of any kind, by a man or by the state, is gender-based violence

Pursued by federal agents, suburban ICE observers remain resolved After a frightening pursuit by federal agents, suburban ICE observers say fear hasn’t stopped them from protecting their communities.

Most of the footage you see from ICE observers in Minnesota comes from the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. I talked to observers in the northern suburbs, who say they're taking on the same mission in very different conditions. (1)
