This is the reality of what ICE is doing with their $75 billion budget. Wouldn’t this be better spent on health care?

Under the law, ICE is required to provide necessary medical care for the people it detains, often using third-party providers to do so.
ICE, however, has not paid any third-party providers for medical care for detainees since October 3, 2025.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

Several major stories broke last month about mifepristone and medication abortion access. While the attacks are still threats to our freedoms that cannot be ignored, it’s increasingly clear that the evidence and the people are not on their side.
