The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Watching how swiftly other countries have moved on people implicated in the Epstein files as our POTUS & most of his cabinet just shrug & persist really underscores how far we’ve fallen as a country…not the good guys anymore. At least not until our government is disinfected of this Trumpian filth.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, β€œNo One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention A 9-year-old shares her story of being held at the nation’s only operating detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.

She lives with her grandmother in Colombia and travels frequently to the U.S. to visit her mother. Her visa made them targets for ICE.

A trip to Disneyland ended with a 9-year-old, who had broken no laws, detained at Dilley, Texas.

The ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas has an alarming record of horrific abuses and abject neglect within its walls.

Call your Senators and Representatives and urge them to work towards the release of all children in abusive detention camps!

This is me trying to triage the barrage of bad news coming at me every day.

The bottom line is the most effective way to address any of these problems is for Democrats like me to win in November.

So let’s focus on that.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M of our tax money, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes, plus another 530 with minor traffic violations.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two civilian deaths. Trump is REALLY BAD at this.

ACLU's lawsuit over ICE raid at an Idaho racetrack could be a game changer The filing aims to hold rogue federal agents accountable by linking them to a conspiracy.

Hundreds of masked ICE agents descended on a community event in Idaho, violently arresting children and their families at gunpoint.

We're suing the Trump administration and 4 local police agencies for abusing criminal warrants to carry out unconstitutional immigration raids.

As you process the Epstein files, remember:

Palantir received early funding from Jeffrey Epstein.
It was also backed by the CIA’s venture arm, In-Q-Tel.
Then came the defense contracts.
Then mass data analytics at scale.

This isn’t separate stories.
It’s one ecosystem: the Epstein network.
