New billboards in L.A., across America decry ICE funding: ‘Your tax money wasted’

This is stark - the Navy contract to set up new “migration detention centers” (ie, concentration camps) covers services that “extend to ‘Medical Waste Management,’ with specific protocols for biohazard incinerators.”

Is it possible to hold a proper World Cup in the U.S. in 2026? Gianni Infantino has facilitated imperial capture of FIFA. And the empire's agenda, as plainly articulated by Marco Rubio, is to resurrect Western colonial dominance

From @tonykaron.bsky.social on World Cup danger:

"The physical safety of visiting black and brown fans is now threatened not only by the mass shooters...

The government itself, via its violent, racist, and unaccountable enforcement of immigration laws, represents an arguably more palpable threat."

A fake ICE tip line reveals neighbors reporting neighbors A Nashville comedian’s deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the “banality of evil personified” in the U.S. immigration crackdown.

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

As Trump administration pushes for more detentions, immigrants’ options for parole shrink • West Virginia Watch Despite immigration detention numbers receding, tools for detainees to seek release or appeal cases are disappearing.

Despite immigration detention numbers receding from recent highs and even as conservative judges are opting to release more detainees by rejecting President Donald Trump’s mass detention policy, tools for detainees to seek release or appeal cases are disappearing, reports Tim Henderson.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

“Don’t tell me what you believe, show me how you treat other people and I’ll tell you what you believe”

“When the church gets too cozy with political power it loses its the power to speak truth to power”

“There is nothing Christian about Christian nationalism, it’s the worship of power”

My guess is that the goal here is not only to punish the children for turning more people against ICE/DHS, but also to make news outlets think twice about reporting on kids' suffering at the hands of ICE/DHS, out of concern that doing so might lead to retaliation against the kids.

This is the eighth death in ICE custody in the last seven weeks.

Minnesota suburbs see ‘stealthier’ tactics as ICE stays active Minnesota residents and lawmakers say the promised drawdown has not materialized, and they are seeing ICE use more covert tactics to continue operations across Twin Cities suburbs.

The Minneapolis Resistance Will Do Your Laundry From free airline miles to washing clothes, Minnesotans are keeping each other safe from ICE—and leaving a blueprint for the rest of us.

I hadn't cried about how much I love Minneapolis in a few days, so this was a good one to read:

"Minnesotans will continue to keep Minnesotans safe until we rid the state of the federal occupation, just like lake ice is weakened by springtime sunshine and subsumed by the water below."

Why a plan to use Twin Cities warehouses to hold immigrants failed ICE determined it must acquire “non-traditional facilities,” such as warehouses, to be developed into 16 new regional detention centers.

Big credit to Rep. Brad Tabke for killing an attempt to place an ICE concentration camp in Shakopee. If we make it so toxic to do business with ICE that corporations refuse to sell them real estate, we can fight these off.

Tennessee said yes to ICE—and turned into a deportation state How the feds worked with state troopers to terrorize Nashville’s immigrants.

Today we published an investigation with @lighthousereports.com that dug into a weeklong ICE operation in Nashville from last May. It was notable because of the way Tennessee Highway Patrol worked hand in hand with the feds to target the city's immigrant communities. Here's what we learned (1/x):

We should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that terrorizes children and forces them to spend their dying days trying to see their father one last time.

Stacy Bradley voted for President Trump because of his border policies, and she likes that he has restored “law and order.” But she is unsettled by one aspect of his immigration agenda. Last month, the federal government bought a warehouse next to her cheerleading gym in Surprise, Ariz., which the administration plans to convert into a detention center for up to 1,500 immigrants. Ms. Bradley, the co-owner of Woodlands Elite Cheer, said she worried that a detainee could escape, or that protests could break out. The children who train at her gym are as young as 3 and could see “people in shackles” next door, she said.

“my children might see the children I voted to put in shackles, how shall they grow up”

tweet from @cliftonhowze on twitter Last night at the #DataCenters meeting in Claremore, Darren Blanchard, who has attended most of these meetings around NE Oklahoma & has some pretty impressive FOIA/ORA skills, was arrested after going over his 3 min. allotted speaking time. First arrest I've seen at one of these.

in america, if you go over your 3 minute allotment to speak, men with guns come to take you away.

🧵Why Talarico’s faith works 🧵

It’s not lost on me that Talarico is doing what clergyfolk from King to Heschel have done. His credential to critique the hijacking of God’s name by fanatics derives *directly* from how seriously he takes faith in his own life. That puts him in the prophetic tradition.

Laura Weiss @LauraEWeiss16 New: Sen. CURTIS says he’ll oppose nomination of Jeremy Carl for State Dept post, which will sink it in committee “I find his anti-Israel views and insensitive remarks about the Jewish people unbecoming of the position for which he has been nominated,” Curtis says

The anti-Black racism was fine, but the anti-Israel rhetoric is where he drew the line. This is the Republican "principled" opposition to Trump

She wrote a global history of concentration camps. Now she has a warning for her own country.

In a better world, Andrea Pitzer would be delivering this warning on 60 Minutes.

But you need to listen to how we can stop these systematic atrocities being committed in our name on Next Comes What.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

“People feel it in their guts, on the streets. Abolish them, because otherwise they will execute us.”

We live in a moment when so many people in this country share the moral clarity that ICE endangers us all—only for the heads of the “opposition” party to try to quash this clarity with meaningless reforms, and to give ICE more money and power. 2020 never ended.

I always say this—if any data or footage is collected anywhere, eventually police will come asking for it or someone will figure out a way to sell them access to it. This is also true of ICE.
