At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nationโ€™s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Dreamers are part of the fabric of this nation.

Trump wants to paint Dreamers as "the worst of the worst." But less than 14% of those detained up by DHS last year had violent criminal records.

Hereโ€™s who Dreamers actually are.

Sen. @padilla.senate.gov: "They're school teachers, they're caregivers, they're nurses and doctors... and more."

"The United States government made a promise over 13 years ago... Straightforward, a promise."

Despite keeping their end of the bargain, Dreamers are now being swept up in this administration's mass deportation campaign.

Watch Sen. @padilla.senate.govโ€™s remarks on the government's broken promise.

The Iran war does not erase the domestic war on immigrants - America's Voice Washington, DC โ€“ Below is a column by Maribel Hastings from Americaโ€™s Voice en Espaรฑol translated to English from Spanish. It ran in several Spanish-language media outlets earlier this week: Now that ...

โ€œNow that Pres. Trump is escalating foreign conflicts, it is critical to emphasize that the U.S.' immigration crisis remains urgent and unresolved," writes Maribel Hastings.

"Despite shifting media and public focus, indiscriminate detentions, questionable arrests, and deportations continue daily."

What effect does parental deportation (or the threat of it) have on U.S. citizen children? My latest at JSTOR Daily focuses on research into that question by Lauren Gulbas and Luis Zayas -- notably it's a 2017 article, so...everything is worse now.

Goodbye and good riddance.

But donโ€™t take the bait. Firing Noem alone wonโ€™t halt Trumpโ€™s campaign of terror.

The atrocities happening by ICE behind the walls of detention facilities and in broad daylight have proven that ICE cannot be reformed.

Abolish ICE NOW.

Trump fires Kristi Noem as DHS chief, names Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace her Stepping in as acting secretary is GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma who Trump said had "Wisdom and Courage required to Advance our America First Agenda."

This is not accountability, just a reshuffling of the enablers of the Trump/Miller agenda.

The problem isn't just with Sec. Noem, DHS, ICE or CBP. Nothing will change until we until we recognize and hold accountable those who are ultimately responsible for what is playing out before our eyes.
