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 nation’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.

New NJ Bill Would Stop DHS From Converting Warehouses To ICE Facilities On Taxpayers' Dime "These are our tax dollars – not a slush fund for this administration's lawlessness," one NJ senator said.

This is a solid move from @booker.senate.gov and @kim.senate.gov.

This is a federal bill (the "End Warehouse Detention Act") that would stop warehouse detention in its tracks by creating a prohibition on using taxpayer dollars to fund warehouse detention.

Trump targets SCOTUS for stochastic terror He knew what he was doing by bringing up justices' families.

wrote about Trump's inflammatory comments directed at the supreme court, which are almost certainly going to lead to ppl sending them death threats.

his use of stochastic terror is so normalized now it's barely even discussed. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-supr...

So the controversial crypto giant Binance β€” where the CEO pled guilty to money laundering β€” only to be pardoned by Trump β€” whose sons went into business with the same CEO β€” turns out to be funneling billions to Iran?

Yeah, that tracks.

We do a combination of Slack posts and emails from our crisis center, which works OK, but the tricky bit is that people who aren’t associated with the NYC office don’t get those. (People traveling on biz are supposed to show up in the distro, personal travel doesn’t.) We will see.

Keeping in mind that blizzard conditions don't just mean "big snow" they mean "snow + wind = periods of effectively zero visibility" which means STAY OFF THE FREAKIN ROADS, PLEASE

β€˜No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.
