Rep. Kennedy: "Do you believe your agency has a legal obligation to follow court orders?"

ICE Director Lyons: "Yes."

Rep. Kennedy: "You have a very strange way of showing it, with a federal judge finding that your agency is in violation of 96 orders in one month alone."

BREAKING: After we sued, DHS withdrew a subpoena seeking personal information about our client who criticized DHS' treatment of a man seeking asylum.

This is a win not just for our client, but for everyone’s First Amendment right to speak out without fear of government retaliation.

On top of everything else, these people are embarrassingly incompetent. When all that matters is loyalty, this is the administration that you get.

I'm in Washington and Washington state law does not allow LEOs to assist federal immigration enforcement efforts, and there is zero the fascist regime can do about that. We are supposed to call 911 if ICE comes for us bc the police are supposed to help the people, not the Gestapo.

abolish ice

The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.

Yes, as ICE agents start being suspicious of each other, their efficiency breaks down.

Nothing destroys the cohesion of an organisation more than treason and the appearance of treason.
