As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.
36-year-old Nicaraguan national Victor Manuel Diaz died in ICE custody on Jan. 14 at Camp East Montana in El Paso.
The Texas Nicaraguan Community on FB reports that his mom last heard from him on Jan. 6, when he told her he was planning to go to Minneapolis to start work in a restaurant. 1/3

if they’ll shoot an ICU nurse point blank what’s happening inside the detention centers
ICE agents are kidnapping, torturing, raping, and murdering US citizens seemingly with impunity. these are just the cases we KNOW about.

I'm not going to ask if you're doomscrolling. Everything is hard right now. But you still need to eat some food, drink a glass of water, as well as time to rest and recover.
Try not to stay up too late tonight. Sleep deprivation will make everything you need to do harder, including helping others.

So ICE is George W's baby. Why aren't y'all calling for him to make a statement?

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

The long tail of the fund the police movement is killing free society.
Most of this year's ICE budget comes from last year's reconciliation bill. House Democratic leaders discouraged its members from offering amendments eliminating that funding. Didn't want the party to come across as anti-ICE.

ok so my current understanding of the state of play:
There are a subset of funding bills left to go. DHS is only one that doesn't have bipartisan assent right now.
House bundled them all including DHS, passed and sent to Senate, and left town.
Senate now looks likely to want changes

Honestly, what the hell is this? A humanitarian nurse is innocently killed, and Trump says he had a weapon and two magazines.

have said it before but I’ll say it again: believing in evil in our secular age is a radical proposition. that’s partially why it feels unbelievable to see what you’re seeing. ICE and its enablers are evil, and if you are on the side of the good you have a responsibility to stop them

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.
