One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

The U.S. currently has more prisoners and a more sophisticated system of concentration camps than Nazi Germany had on the eve of World War II in 1939
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

The judges need to start enforcing their orders. Start arresting people for breaking the law. Imposing penalties.
ICE officials under a judge’s order to clean up squalid conditions on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza detained migrants on a secret floor where they decided that ruling didn’t apply, attorneys for the Trump administration said Monday.

You don't fight this hard to hide nothing
BREAKING: On February 2, Sec. Noem issued a memo asserting the lapse in appropriations for DHS meant there is no Sec. 527 — the provision protecting congressional oversight visits to immigration detention facilities — and she was issuing a new (third) policy requiring seven-day notice for visits.

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom:

"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."
For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.

Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.
 
That’s what we have to change.

Trump is going to die, and soon. The apparatus that put him in place will still be there. Electing anyone not determined to tear it down will guarantee it will happen over and over and over. The Democratic establishment is not living up to the moment. We're allowed to be pissed at them over that.

When you see those children kidnapped by ICE/CBP, bear in mind that thanks to Biden their DNA is being scanned and permanently added to a database of criminals.

They are all marked in the system for life, the system that is *already* trying to revictimize Liam because he embarrassed it.
The article is talking about a program done by Biden and Kamala, this happened under Biden and Kamala. Biden and Kamala did this.

And yet the replies are all blue wave fuckos like "this is what happens when you don't vote for Dems!"
