There are concentration camps in the USA. People are being disappeared. One facility has 3,500 people, most of them children.

Now, what are we going to do about it?!

We don’t need to deport more people without collateral damage to citizens, we need to learn how to process immigration cases. Hire lawyers, not goons.

Musk is a white supremacist, friend of our enemies, a liar, a lunatic and a threat to the US. No company owned or controlled by him should be permitted to do business with the US government.

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. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

β€œDon’t fund concentration camps” is a good policy position to stand on.

Add this to Trump’s tweet today about imposing voting restrictions whether Congress wants them or not… Get ready for Trump to try to steal the election, bc we’re only 9 months away and they are already talking about it openly.

Another memorable ruling out of West Virginia, where Judge Goodwin β€” a Clinton appointee β€” excoriates the treatment of ICE detainees.

"This is not what civil enforcement looks like in a humane system of government under law."

DHS must be dismantled and CBP/ICE agents and detention center CEOs/employees need to be prosecuted. If y’all won’t do it, get out of the fucking way and let someone else lead.

Steve Bannon calls for Trump to deploy ICE and military troops to polling sites The Trump ally was one of few GOP voices to support the president’s push to nationalize voting.

18 U.S. Code Β§ 592 makes it a crime punishable by 5 years in prison to deploy federal troops to polling places

I know we have some πŸ”₯ senators on the Democratic team. Can one of them, please, step up and throw their hat in the ring for leader? Stop complaining in private because this is intolerable.

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

The White House press secretary just said she "can't guarantee" that ICE won't be around polling locations in November.

Yesterday, we identified and confirmed a new charter airline that has begun operating for ICE. Air Wisconsin currently has 8 active planes conducting ICE routes. Together, they conducted ~60 domestic transfer flights in January, some of which included flights out of Minneapolis.

The (almost) unbelievable tortures of Steven Tendo A snake pit. Severed fingers. COVID. A US immigration judge.

#StevenTendo, an asylum seeker whose case garnered national coverage a few years ago, was picked up by ICE today outside his work in VT, 2 days before a scheduled immigration appointment. He’s already been moved twice, and is currently being held in NH. #FuckIce

Many people don't realize how special and valuable having a Department of Justice that is impartial and insulated from political influence is until it's gone.

ICE will be handling election security.

Never again wonder why Russia was willing to spend billions getting Trump into office.

Make sure they sample around US bases. If the US is regulating it, they’re probably going to try to use it up elsewhere where it isn’t regulated.
