Ain't gonna fly

Illegal not only by the terms of his own refugee ceiling (set at 7,500 for the fiscal year, although he can raise it) but also likely illegal because these aren’t really refugees AND insanely hypocritical given what they’re doing to refugees admitted under Biden. Disgusting, awful bigotry.

so blatantly obvious

New Jersey Democrats Send Coarse but Clear Message to ICE With New Bill

I gotta believe that the Fight Unlawful Conduct and Keep Individuals and Communities Empowered act, which would secure residents’ rights under state law to sue immigration officials for unconstitutional conduct, has a lot to be said for it.

وزير الخارجية الأردني الأسبق مروان المعشر: الأردن قد يضطر إلى إغلاق الحدود إذا ما بدأت إسرائيل في عملية التهجير #حوارات_العربي Former Jordanian Foreign Minister Marwan Muasher: Jordan may be forced to close its borders if Israel begins the displacement operation

Former DPM and FM of Jordan Marwan Muasher, who was also the Jordanian architect of the 1994 peace agreement with Israel, has long argued that Jordan may need to cancel the treaty. Earlier today he said that Jordan should consider closing its border due to Israeli attempts to displace Palestinians.

“It should come as no surprise that the only evidence of meddling with people’s votes came from Trump’s own camp”

Those two are so trashy

ICE slams 80-year-old immigration attorney to the ground while lawfully observing an illegal arrest.

I gave up Catholicism for Lent about 40 years ago and never got around to going back.

Because of ICE, I’ve Been in Hiding for Months. It Has Transformed Me. Days of anxiety, of frustration, and of feeling that everything is on hold while the world keeps moving forward outside. By SM 12:02 PM CST on February 20, 2026

Hey Don,
Bad news. Every major story about you actually does lead back to Russia, Russia, Russia. And everyone knows it.

I love the hater pope

Pope Leo Will Spend July 4 Visiting Migrant Crossing Island Pope Leo has spoken out against the treatment of migrants in the United States several times over the last year.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

These are all adult cops escalating into violence against teenagers. Many of the students are now being held by the cops who assaulted them.

this is how i witnessed an ICE kidnapping in western mass, i paid a $250 bail for a woman accused of trespassing (right...) and ICE snatched her as soon as we got out the door

Look, now that we're trying for real consequences for the Epstein files, maybe we should also take another look at the Panama Papers

I still don't understand how this isn't the headline everywhere. If Biden or Obama said the words, "I'm allowed to destroy the country" Fox News would be giving tips on where to buy pitchforks and torches.

Special Saturday Triad: What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis The national media has moved on. Minnesota is still under siege.

“Spending three days on the ground in Minneapolis brought home something that may not be obvious from afar: Minnesota, especially the Twin Cities, has been—and still is—under a paramilitary occupation in which the federal government is at war with the population.”

‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Texas U.S. citizen was fatally shot by an immigration agent last year during a stop, new records show The death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, would mark the earliest of at least six deadly shootings by federal officers since the start of the Trump administration's nationwide immigration crackdown.

Our government shot & killed an American citizen during a stop last year. We’re only finding out about it now. Where’s the outrage ⁦‪from Senators Cornyn‬⁩ & ⁦‪Cruz‬⁩ ? This is their constituent.
