NEW: reports today from @l-toczylowski.bsky.social and others that ICE has begun efforts to dismiss cases pending in immigration court for less than two years — so that they can then immediately arrest the same people and put them through “expedited removal,” skipping the court process entirely.

✈️👀 this flight from Guantanamo appears to be on a rendezvous path with a Conviasa plane from Venezuela for a transfer at Soto Cano base in Honduras. Another ICE air landed in Venezuela this morning via Harlingen and El Paso. All flights in photos below.

Republicans are snatching food away from babies and their mothers—and if they’re uncomfortable hearing the truth, imagine how uncomfortable it is to live it.

We’re going to keep calling out their cruelty, their hypocrisy, and yes—their bullshit.

This is real life, y’all.

These aren’t “democratic talking points”—this is a real mother and real babies at risk of going hungry, all because Republicans want to be greedy.

Somebody please tell me how you can feed a growing family of 6 on $15 per day… you can’t.

What this article doesn’t make clear is that Beachwood (a Cleveland suburb) has been a Jewish enclave since WWII. The population is about 90% Jewish. It’s the home of the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, which is half a mile from this branch. This was not a random act.

✈️👀 the 17th US deport to Venezuela this year was Tuesday deporting 226 people including the 2-year old in the Tribune article below who was separated from her mother who was previously deported. This makes 2,918 US deportees and 1,500 Returns from Mexico (5 planes) for a total of 4,418 this year.

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

The number of migrants crossing the southern border continue to fall. Trump's elimination of pathways to petition for asylum and the militarization of the border has migrants in limbo. But this decline began last year, leading service provider in El Paso to shutter efforts.

My story:
Migrant encounters on the US-Mexico border at lowest levels in decades
Border Patrol is finding fewer migrants along the southern border, as migrants further south wait to see what is to come with asylum in the U.S.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.
