I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules.
It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to.
This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.
So ICE took her into custody.
The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck.

Gotta love legacy media innocently dropping the term "rawdogging" into a discussion on the conclave because they, apparently, aren't aware of its origin.

WOW. SCOTUS has BLOCKED the administration from deporting class members under the Alien Enemies Act until further order of SCOTUS. This is the case Boasberg couldn’t issue a TRO in earlier because he didn’t have jurisdiction. I’m honestly shocked.

Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered.
As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!
