Surprise ICE warehouse could house up to 10,000 detainees for months at a time, new documents show After weeks of speculation about what the 400,000-square-foot warehouse in Surprise might be used for, the documents confirm it will be retrofitted as an ICE detention center, potentially housing 7,00...

A dozen is good but too few. If you are an elected Democrat in congress, there are 2 ways to engage with the SOTU with integrity:
1) Don't go.
2) Go and get kicked out, Al Green style.

Everything else is wimpy.

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

Shouldn’t Senate Dems introduce legislation providing full funding TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, etc.—and no new funding for ICE and CBP?

Seems like pretty good ground to fight on.

Offer to come back and pass it Tuesday.

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

Democrats, do not be fooled. If you cave and approve DHS funding, they’ll be back and worse than last time. Republicans keep showing you their hand, stop shaking it.

First Draft: Reforming Trump's Gestapo? As Congress weighs guardrails for Trump’s fascist military police, lawmakers vote to allow themselves to overturn the president’s tariffs.

“Democrats are trying to impose guardrails on how Trump’s fascist paramilitary force looks and operates, and how Trump can deploy his fascist paramilitary force, when the truth is that his fascist paramilitary force must be eliminated.”

We need to talk MORE about the ICE death camps. Incessantly. Make it an unavoidable topic.

We need to stop them.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

The People Are Leading. The Leaders Should Follow. Congressional Democrats should take a page from the people of Minneapolis.

"Schumer and some of his colleagues remain strikingly unwilling to go on offense." The people are leading, and the leaders are not following.

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

For the CEOs and university presidents and other responsible leaders who have been biding their time and waiting for him to cross the magic red line before speaking up, maybe when he starts arresting Senators is a good time to get off the fucking sidelines.

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

Massie: "What's happened it seems is that the US attorneys and/or the FBI have redacted documents, given them to the DOJ, and then the DOJ hasn't done their diligence to go get the original documents."

When people are afraid to go to work, afraid to shop, or afraid to gather in their community, it hurts families, neighborhoods, and our entire economy.

If you can, show up for a small business and let’s continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

This should concern us all. You cannot speak of freedom and liberty and then support this regime’s actions.

The Democrats idea of fighting fascism.

As more files from the Epstein case are released, I'm sickened by the extent of his depravity and his connections to so many powerful people. Governments around the globe are being shaken by the mentions of their leaders in the files, and the U.S. should apply the same scrutiny to our leaders.

WATCH — @warnock.senate.gov: “They are seizing ballots, gunning down ordinary citizens, arresting journalists. All the alarm bells 🚨 are blaring. The question is, are we listening?”

"This is Mia, 7 years old -- 'I don't want to be in this place. I want to be in my school'" -- Walkinshaw confronts Lyons with letters written by kids being detained by ICE

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

You don’t need to be an activist to organize against the regime. There’s a role for everyone to play in the pro-democracy movement.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Good Bunny. Bad Super Bowl. Defund ICE. Political lessons from the wide world of sports. And music.

"Democrats have demanded a host of new restrictions on immigration enforcement operations. Many of these are desirable. None is nearly as important as simply depriving ICE and the Border Patrol of funds. The money matters most."

OK folks, this is the day when we’re all gonna remember that there are two different Ezra’s and they are not the same person. I believe in us. We can do this.

Good Bunny. Bad Super Bowl. Defund ICE. Political lessons from the wide world of sports. And music.

"The people of Minneapolis have been courageously confronting the Trump administration’s bullies in the streets. The least Democratic elected officials could do is confront the administration seriously in Congress...Speak out and fight. Be like Bad Bunny."

Everyone complicit in this moral horror needs to be prosecuted.

Look, all I'm saying is that if you just spent the last six years being frustrated with Durbin and you think there's a chance he's about to be replaced with a guy who thanks ICE for their service and takes AIPAC and crypto money, you should treat it like a very serious emergency
