ICE Wants to Build a Shadow Deportation Network in Texas A new ICE proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractorsโ€”turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

The Trump regime is building a massive human trafficking operation run by armed contractors.

Remember Acting ICE Director, Todd Lyons, said, โ€œWe need to get better at treating [deportation] like a businessโ€ฆ like (Amazon) Prime, but with human beings.โ€

Always follow the moneyโ€”youโ€™ll find the Nazis.

Scoop: Senate Dems to launch Social Security war room The war room will serve as a central hub for Senate Democrats to plan messaging, create content, provide oversight, make field visits and host town halls to pummel the GOP on the issue.

As a Missouri resident, I could see everything thatโ€™s happening coming a mile away because they already did it to my state. Defunded schools, kicked kids off Medicaid, refused the will of voters, attacked marginalized communities, and sold off farmland to foreign companies.

We knew.
