Man detained by ICE found dead, hanging with hands and feet tiedβ€”attorney The Chinese national died in Pennsylvania in August, but his family's requests for answers from DHS have gone unmet.

A Chinese immigrant named
Chaofeng Ge died in ICE custody.

He was found hanging with his hands and feet tied behind him in the β€œhog tie” position.

Deaths within these camps continue to rise, with more people dying in the last nine months than in the entire previous four years.

Abolish ICE

Listen up folks, I'm a seasoned litigator: if Comey wants to beat these charges for good all his defense team needs to do is trick Lindsey Halligan into looking up during a heavy rain

If you ever get to thinking that you might want to be the Most Famous Lawyer in America, pause for a moment and consider the last 10 to 20 people who have held that title.

$40B of your money to this guy, so he can dance at CPAC at Mar-a-Lago while Americans wait for their paychecks, hoping the money actually comes.

The Heritage Foundation, which is staffing the US presidential administration, has spent the past two weeks mainstreaming actual neo-Nazis into American public life, and much of the American Jewish establishment is panicking about a Muslim mayor of New York City.

One of my top 10 things that I will never understand about humanity is the desire to turn up the (prerecorded) music so fucking loud in a public place that you can't speak or hear

There’s not enough attention being paid to the fact that ICE deported a man in a persistent vegetative state

Or the fact that he was perfectly healthy when he was detained, and his family have no idea what was done to him to cause such a severe decline

He died shortly after being deported to Cuba

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary β€œRovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Getting new details on this now:

As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

Interested to see who testified at that GJ proceeding because I'd be willing to bet they perjured themselves, or at least made material omissions. It's amazing to me that so many people are willing to risk staying on this ship, expecting that they won't go down with it. Guess we'll see.

Every time Brett Kavanaugh asks a question during oral argument, I’m reminded of the dumbest guy in my law school section who in every single lecture would raise his hand to talk because the professor, for some godforsaken reason, decided to make class participation part of our grades

You should watch this with the sound on to hear how matter-of-fact dystopian the Illinois State Police "warning" is.

Again, not ICE. Pritzker's state police. Who we're told are not assisting ICE.

Multiple accounts on ICE Watch Facebook pages are reporting that agents pulled a couple out of their vehicle in Aurora, Illinois, arrested them, and then abandoned the couple’s toddler in the backseat.

Fired student media leader sues IU IU fired Jim Rodenbush in October after he refused to remove news from a special print edition of the Indiana Daily Student. The university ended printing for the paper that afternoon.

Just incredibly, unnecessarily cruel. And I’d be shocked if there wasn’t wanton corruption going on here, too.
