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?

Bovino lies shamelessly: "What we do is legal, ethical, and moral. Everything we do every day is legal, ethical, moral, well grounded in law."

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.

Welcome to Greenland, an Economy Reliant on Subsidies and Shrimp
Greenlanders get heavily subsidized by Denmark, and any future mining boom will be costly.

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?
