This isn't about punishing companies. It's about looking for leverage and finding opportunities to peel away corporate support for ICE.

At least 6 people died in ICE custody in the first 2 weeks of the year. At this rate, 2026 could see over 150 in-custody deaths.
To be clear, this isn't just about more people being held in detention facilities. The increase in the death rate is outpacing the increase in the detained population.

It’s ironic that they’re like “if we do ethnic cleansing we’ll have a high trust neighborly society” and then Minneapolis is literally doing high trust neighborly society and they’re like nooooo
Many Americans are terrible neighbors to each other, and that is why MN is striking everyone as extraordinary activism... when they are telling us that it is not. They're good neighbors!
It's no wonder that "being a shitty neighbor" is the hallmark of our domestic politics and our foreign policy.

These are people who *only* understand force.
Haven’t seen much mention of this, but in this clip of DHS agents from last week, an observer tells a DHS agent he has seen officers run red lights and says they aren’t “above the law.”
In response, you can hear the agent say (twice): “We are the law.”
