There is no justification for three ICE detainees dying in custody. Not one. Three deaths in one month says everything. This is not about politics. It is about basic responsibility and human life. When people die under government care this system has failed.
These deaths are a direct result of the malice and incompetence of DHS. How many more until Congress acts to rein Noem, Miller, Bovino and Homan in?

Then why won't they even identify themselves?
Bovino lies shamelessly: "What we do is legal, ethical, and moral. Everything we do every day is legal, ethical, moral, well grounded in law."

Diabetics rationing insulin. Jaundiced babies missing app'ts. Appendicitis festering untreated for days. Expectant mothers laboring in hiding.

Five Minnesota physicians held a hastily scheduled Capitol press conference Tuesday on the health care impacts of ICE presence in their state.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

The first film based on a TV series was Dragnet (1954). The NBC series had been running for 3 years & continued until 1959.

Denmark provides $1 billion a year in subsidies to Greenland. Are U.S. taxpayers going to assume that overhead if Trump acquires Greenland? www.wsj.com/world/europe...
Welcome to Greenland, an Economy Reliant on Subsidies and Shrimp
Greenlanders get heavily subsidized by Denmark, and any future mining boom will be costly.

DOJ is out of control. The crime of impeding federal agents requires physical force. Speaking out against the way ICE is being deployed is not a crime.

“For the families of Danish soldiers who died in the American-led campaign against the Taliban, their country’s partnership with the United States is not an abstraction. Denmark’s loyalty to America brought Sophia Bruun to Afghanistan, and it ended her life.”
“We have done so much for America”: Denmark fought alongside the U.S. in Afghanistan. Now, as Trump eyes Greenland, the families of fallen soldiers have a message for him, @isaacstanleybecker.bsky.social reports:
The Sacrifice of the Danes
After September 11, Denmark fought alongside its ally. The families of fallen soldiers have a message for Trump.

I heard the same thing on ABC. I would not trust anything that DHS has to say they lie so much they would break a lie detector machine.

According to The Guardian, Lawyers say they’re being blocked from seeing detained clients. DHS says that’s false...claims detainees have attorney access and “full due process.”

Here’s the problem: in a country of laws...this shouldn’t be a he-said/she-said. It should be VERIFIABLE.

I’m going to add there’s over 500,000 Europeans in the US illegally. There was a large group of them in Chicago. There’s over 100,000 Russians in the US illegally!! How many of them have had their car windows bashed in, or dragged down the street or beat while being apprehended?
