I don’t think this is a serious story. I think it’s just a lot of Kartoffel Waffle.

This is at the very least a civil violation under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, unlawful entry, unlawful search, entry without a warrant (defective warrant), unlawful seizure, and excessive.

One could argue criminal conspiracy if the kidnapping occured as an inevitable consequence of racist policies.

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Luis Muñoz Pinto describes the conditions upon arriving at CECOT, one of El Salvador’s harshest prisons. “There was blood everywhere, screams, people crying, people who couldn't take it and were urinating and vomiting on themselves,” he says.

The agent said that??

"When they told the agents they were US citizens, the couple said, one responded, “It doesn’t matter.”

Another said, “What you’re doing is illegal. This is like Germany 1938,” the court papers said..."

We Found More Than 40 Cases of Immigration Agents Using Banned Chokeholds and Other Moves That Can Cut Off Breathing Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government ...

The brutality of these agents is clearly the result of joy found in cruelty and the misery of others. They are sadists, monsters who find solace for their own unhappiness in creating pain in others.

A Pregnant Woman at Risk of Heart Failure Couldn’t Get Urgent Treatment. She Died Waiting for an Abortion. In a state that had legislated its commitment to life, Graham spent her final days struggling to find anyone to save hers.

We’re at the stage of fascism where people are being dragged out of their homes.

Children and babies are hit with chemical weapons.

Peaceful protesters shot in the face and blinded.

A woman shot & killed on camera and it won’t even be investigated.

They condone this.

ICE just announced another death at a camp in El Paso.

2025 was the deadliest year on record for ICE detention.

2026 is shaping up to be much worse.

What’s happening in these camps causing so much death?

6 deaths that we know of.

It’s only Jan 18th.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

The United States needs military access to Greenland, which it already has, to defend the Arctic, which it already does, from Russian and Chinese ships, which aren’t actually there, and this is so important we should destroy the Western alliance to get it, do I have that right?

If the Nobel Committee were to say that the reason they can’t give Trump the peace prize is because of ICE that shit would be shut down in 24 hours

Schrodinger's MAGA: simultaneously cheering on the brave protesters in Iran risking their lives to defy the authorities while celebrating ICE thugs in America shooting unarmed women.

How ICE Lost Its Guardrails The Minneapolis shooting will get less official scrutiny because of cuts by the Trump administration.

The Trump administration has gutted or scrapped multiple oversight offices within the Department of Homeland Security—meaning violent incidents will get less scrutiny, Caitlin Dickerson reports:

Trump released new forensics concerning the ICE killing, and gotta say, i'm now convinced.

i have written this a few times now but the reason JD Vance spends all day posting is that they barely tolerate his presence in the white house and have locked him out of every decision of consequence. he is basically unemployed

Good. Vance is really unpopular.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

British police have killed fewer people in the last 100 years than American police kill in an average month.

Policing in America is an ongoing tragedy.
