Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. Itโ€™s always a matter of will not resources.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the โ€œbaby jailโ€ in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But itโ€™s routine. And disgusting.

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."

Marco Rubio's speech was a poisoned declaration of love. There was absolutely nothing reassuring about this speech. Rubio may have chosen a different tone from US Vice President J. D. Vance, but not a different content, and he conjured up a world that is not ours. The collective relief that was expressed in the great applause for the speech is an illusion. The inappropriate as well as naive standing ovations show that a large part of those who should know better still have not understood what hour has struck for Europe.

Oregon woman headed to buy socks for teen son. Sheโ€™s now stuck in ICE detention U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici has pushed ICE to release Maria Trinidad Loya Medina so she can care for her seriously ill husband and their two children. Medina has lived in the U.S. for more than 20 year...

I recently visited Maria in the Tacoma detention center. She is a loving mom, pays her taxes, and has no criminal history -- not even a parking ticket. She deserves to come home to her two children and her husband, who is recovering from surgery. I will not stop fighting until she is home.

Judge Orders ICE to Let Clergy Give Communion to Detained Migrants on Ash Wednesday

Enraging that this took a court order:

"Catholic nuns and clergy had visited the facility for years, offering prayer services and holy communion to detainees during visitor hours.

Trump Administration immigration authorities rolled back that access in September..."

Dear Pam Bondi, (A Letter From A Father) Dear Ms Bondi,

This piece has been viewed over 14 million times over the last 48 hours. Unbelievable.

I'm so encouraged to see how many people are as disgusted by this as I am.

Sometimes you just need to be reminded that you're not alone.

Keep fighting, good people!

ICE point weapon directly at woman peacefully protesting, just inches in front of her face.

Goon is pointing a B&T GL06 grenade launcher and shooting someone at point-blank range with this so-called
"less than lethal" ammo could be fatal.

DHS is issuing subpoenas to Google, Meta, and other tech companies for names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize ICE.

It's fascism.

Heโ€™s so desperate. If he canโ€™t force a law heโ€™ll cheat and lie about it being rigged. Plus he has people in his cabinet that can do things to force his lies as truth and will go along with him no matter what. Iโ€™m truly afraid the country is really fucked!!

The Kids Arenโ€™t Alright in Dilley A baby who needs medicine. A toddler whose detained mom may have breast cancer. A suicide attempt.

"There was the 18-month-old baby, Amalia, who was suffering from respiratory failure and was rushed to the hospital, where she spent much of the next ten days on oxygen. Upon release, federal officers took her right back into detention."

I noticed that. I hope the Europeans didn't buy it. It probably made the Japanese, Phillipinos, and many other Asia and African allies pissed.
