ICE wants to cram 5,000 detainees in your local empty warehouse. That's fine, right? Some states are trying to fight back. #ICE #immigration #DHS www.jezebel.com/ice-detentio...

The detail that truly blows my mind here is that even Sidney Powell is apparently involved in this in some way, despite the fact that she AGREED TO TESTIFY AGAINST TRUMP when she plead guilty to six election interference charges in 2023. Jesus, this is the stupidest timeline. #FultonCounty #FBI

ICE Detainee Deaths Were at Record Highs in 2025. This Year Looks to Get Far Deadlier. The number of detainee deaths in ICE custody in 2025 tied the record. The body count of 2026 may completely obliterate it.

Not enough people are talking about the fact that ICE has simply stopped issuing full reports on detainee deaths to Congress in the last month, despite being legally required to do so: www.jezebel.com/ice-detainee... #ICE #immigration
