Homan might want to read our story.

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

The recent, hard-hitting campaign to pressure Target into better behavior, has been exceptionally well-coordinated and inventive.

Medical deportation is the removal of an uninsured immigrant patient from the U.S. by a hospital without the consent of the patient or their family. If you or someone you know is at risk, call this hotline. Learn more about medical deportation here: buff.ly/7KoYvbz

ICE Deletes Rape Protection for Trans Immigrants - The American Prospect The agency this month altered more contracts with private prison companies to remove care and protection measures it took advocates years to win.

Last week ICE altered contracts with the leading private prison companies that run its detention centers, wiping away all transgender protections, including safety measures to prevent against rape. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social has the story.

Frey rejects ICE officer's claim of self-defense, calls killing of motorist 'reckless' Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says the ICE officer who killed a motorist acted recklessly and rejected claims that the officer acted in self-defense.

Nativity smashed, Mary figure β€˜beaten’ at Evanston church: β€˜God’s on the side of the vulnerable’ Vandals destroyed Lake Street Church of Evanston’s Nativity. It replaced Mary with a sign saying she’s in immigration detention.

Vandals decapitated and smashed the statue of Mary in an Evanston church’s outdoor Nativity scene Friday, and the church responded by replacing it with a sign saying Mary was beaten & dragged away in front of her son and is being held in immigration detention.

The fact is that undocumented workers actually pay _into_ federal programs that they can't access. In 2022, undocumented immigrants paid $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes and $6.4 billion in Medicare taxes: americasvoice.org/blog/on-tax-...

"I believe in living.
I believe in birth.
I believe in the sweat of love
and in the fire of truth.

And i believe that a lost ship,
steered by tired, seasick sailors,
can still be guided home
to port.”

Two incarcerated journalists responded to questions from our readers about the widespread use of solitary confinement in the nation's prisons.

Both were subjected to this torturous practice themselves: "I will never be the same person I was before."
