The US Is Storing Migrant Childrenβs DNA in a Criminal Database
Customs and Border Protection has swabbed the DNA of migrant children as young as 4, whose genetic data is uploaded to an FBI-run database that can track them if they commit crimes in the future.
Icymi last month: The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into a national criminal database originally built for people convicted of sex offenses and violent crimes

Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves.
If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such.

Imagine having the power, money and political standing to make a difference in the world. To save childrenβs lives.
Then imagine you did that, providing medical interventionsβsaving lives.
Now imagine someone ending it. Putting children at risk of death and harm.
You donβt have to imagineβ

Solidarity is our only way out of this mess.

We need coalitions, not perfection. Democracy is messy.

It erases inclusion, guts our Constitution, and targets anyone who doesnβt match the look, culture, or values of its authors.

Itβs time to open the books. An investigation needs to be opened into just how much has been spent on the deportations, the detainments, the unknown Stasi. The hotels, per diems. I want to know how much of taxpayer money has been spent to date. How theyβre being paid, how much theyβre being paid.

The Trump regime plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia for a second timeβnot to his native El Salvador, where a judge ruled heβd face persecution, but to an unnamed third country. This is a blatant violation of civil rights & humanity.
