A look at the Wilder, ID raid.

"This is how the truth gets buried. Not with silence, but with revisions."
A three-year-old forced to clutch his mom’s inside-out pocket because she wasn’t allowed to hold him.

That’s not “law and order.”
That’s terror.

"Ms. Noem has said that “after two years, there won’t be a DHS,” the contractor said,"

What does this mean?

This article is both fascinating and scary.
ICYMI: ICE’s plans to convert warehouse into detention space is “doomed to failure,” according to an account from a person with firsthand knowledge of ICE’s plans to convert warehouses into mass detention centers.

"Doomed to Failure”
Veteran officials know the plan is unworkable. Political leadership doesn't care. And the budget has soared past $55 billion.

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

This is suspicious. What is ICE up to in IL?
An Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights spokesperson tells me they've gotten word of people recently being detained during immigration check-ins at the Broadview, IL ICE facility. They said ICIRR has also gotten word of people with asylum cases having check-ins moved up to this week.

Families in MN are still in hiding.

The helpers are raising funds for March rent to prevent evictions.
This is Minneapolis:

Our neighbors are still sheltering in place, unable to go to work, get groceries, get medical care, etc.

The horrors persist, but so do we.

Keep supporting our neighbors.

ICE detention centers are inhumane and deadly. Detention is a cruelty no one should endure - especially children and babies.

We must end immigration detention and ensure the release of Juan Nicolás, Steven, and every single person held in the camps.
