A Fight Is Brewing in the Midwest Over Immigrant Mass Detention As ICE expands its presence across the Midwest, activists fight the reopening of private prisons to jail migrants.

"It is no surprise that ICE is expanding in the Midwest."

"The Midwest has long been a critical site of resistance against ICE's attacks on immigrant communities, and this time around is no different."

🚨ICE arrests continued today at immigration court nationwide, with ICE officers handcuffing people in the hallways after ICE prosecutors moved to dismiss cases.

Today we got more confirmation that even where the judges are NOT dismissing cases, ICE is still detaining people in some cases.

β€˜Inhumane:’ Overcrowding strains Krome detention center amid Trump’s immigrant crackdown Girl to police: β€œDon’t take my mom.”

NEW: As the Trump administration ramps up arrests and heavily limits releases on bond, conditions at ICE’s Krome detention facility in Miami have deteriorated into that of a third world prison, with people forced to sleep on concrete floors jammed in like sardines in appalling conditions.

BREAKING: DOJ asks SCOTUS to allow it to enforce Trump's Alien Enemies Act proclamation during appeals.

If granted, the Trump administration has said it would resume deportations of people it alleges fall under the AEA order with no notice or process.

Mass exodus of immigration officials could delay millions of deportations The mass exodus of more than 100 immigration officials since Trump's inauguration could undermine his pledge to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, critics warn.

43 immigration judges in total have already been fired or taken buyout offers, at a time when the backlog of removal cases is at the highest level ever.

Now seems like as good a time as any to remind people that Donald Trump picked, as Secretary of Transportation, a former contestant on MTV's The Real World.

Deporting migrants on military aircraft costs about five times as much as buying everyone a first-class ticket.

Fred appealed the case all the way to the Supreme Court.

This dark period in American history echos today as President Trump and his administration attempt to carry out an aggressive anti-immigrant agenda based in hatred and stoked by fear. In honor of Fred Korematsu's legacy, we are fighting back.

During World War II, the U.S. government forcibly took hundreds of thousands of people of Japanese ancestry from their homes and held them in incarceration camps.

Fred Korematsu was arrested and convicted for defying the government’s order and refusing to go to the camps.

When Trump describes the people he wants to deport, he needs to take a close look at his ride or die folks.

Something I’ve learned over the years:

Just because you don’t see it happen on social media doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

In fact, some of the best community building I’ve seen *has* to happen offline so strategies can get fine-tuned and aligned.

We’ll need to grant more grace in the now.

A very important reminder. ICE can't go inside a house without the permission of someone there. Administrative warrants are not judicial warrants.
