Couple this with the woman killed in an ICE pursuit of an immigrant they thought might be guilty of a non violent crime.
I think this is paywalled but you can get the gist www.ajc.com/news/2026/02...
Georgia Army veteran deported by ICE after 50 years in U.S.
Godfrey Wade was arrested by immigration authorities following a traffic stop and was deported because of minor criminal violations from 20 years ago.

ICE killed again.
It's like ICE is completely ignoring every lesson that moderately competent police forces are forced to learn, like "don't do high speed chases in densely populated areas with low risk targets"
ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

So far in this country you don’t get to rewrite history just because you are the President and you are a racist. Judge cites George Orwell in this decision requiring the reinstallation of the displays depicting the slaves who also lived in the first house of George Washington.
Wow. Just read the opening grafs of this opinion on Trump's ordered removal of an exhibition on the treatment of slaves in Philadelphia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

My team and I are aware of concerning reports of an ICE raid conducted in Union City this morning outside of a church. We are working with local officials and community members to learn more details, which will inform next steps.

They only want the “right people” to vote because they will elect the “right leaders.” Sure, Kristi, that’s the way it works.

This is precisely what polling places were like for part of the 19th century.
People often traveled long distances by horse to vote. It was a big deal when folks got together this way.

This is celebrated by the same people who thought the worst thing you could do to children was make them stay home and attend remote schooling during Covid and wear masks.
Child detained by ICE: Since I got to the center, all you will feel is sadness and depression. All kids are being damaged mentally. They don't have schools or doctors. Serious situations happen, and there are no consequences.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

@andreapitzer.bsky.social "concentration camp regimes in their early stages often make use of large open infrastructure to convert into detention spaces. Dachau was converted from a shuttered factory into a concentration camp in 1933"

Oh goody! Camps to house migrants! Think of all the great jobs, who doesn’t want their children to grow up to be jailers!
Breaking news: ICE expects to spend $38.3 billion on its plan to acquire warehouses across the U.S. and retrofit them into immigrant detention centers that can hold tens of thousands of people, according to agency documents.

They shot the man through the door!!! They did no investigation before putting out the false story and indicting the men. They are still maintaining they need to wear masks because they are being attacked. Most, if not all, of those “attacks” are as fake as this one.
Will Fox be updating their story on this and giving it the same amount of airtime as they did initial arrest?

Another case dismissed with prejudice because they say newly discovered evidence…they have no business filing charges before they fully investigate. They know they have hired people to enforce the law who lie with impunity.
Another shooting case falls apart (this time ICE, not CBP).
These are the Venezuelans that ICE excused shooting by claiming they beat him w/shovels.
