Very good article. I wish Dem messaging was better. Ppl have been criticizing Dems for supporting appropriations bills w/o noting that Dems have worked thru these bills to restore $$ to programs that admin cut & reduce some damage of BBB. Explains where they have leverage on ICE funding.
Democrats have more leverage to put important breaks on ICE, including its funding, than most people understand. I explain what they can do, and why they should do it now, in today’s piece, link in the replies.

Absolutely bonkers, insane, disturbing, incompetent. And very important to read. Thank you @laurajedeed.bsky.social for this.
A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

“[NC A&T] students weren’t allowed to speak. Board chair Lester, speaking one block away from the site where students at that HBCU launched the “sit-in” movement to protest racial segregation in 1960, responded to the students’ concerns by describing voting as a privilege, not a right.” Sickening.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

And now we may know why admin got Bari Weiss to kill the CECOT piece. Don’t know if they knew this was coming or if they were running scared on Boasberg contempt investigation but sure looks like that CBS piece would’ve been timely. Thank you to lawyers & Judge who’ve sought justice for these men.
BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.
![ORDER
For the reasons stated in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion, the Court ORDERS
that:
1. Plaintiffs' [177] Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED;
2. Plaintiffs' [178] Motion for Class Certification is GRANTED;
3. Defendants' [182] Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED; and
4. The Government shall submit its proposal either to facilitate the return

MeidasTouch is wrong here. These images are from two different filings in the Giuffre v Maxwell, suit with different dates. In 2024, she re-filed material with Trump's name un-redacted. It was a scandal, it got news! Both versions are in Bondi's Epstein dump and both remain up. No one deleted. 1/
🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.
