When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

Immigrant families held at a Texas ICE jail are languishing in horrific conditions, says attorney Eric Lee, who has clients inside. He says that while Democrats now deplore abuses under Trump, they are "equally responsible as Trump for creating the infrastructure of mass family and adult detention."

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator.
It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

Maine Senator Susan Collins said Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem informed her that ICE will end the immigration enforcement surge in the state.
ICE ending Maine surge, Senator Collins says - The Boston Globe
Collins said in a statement that she had pushed Noem and other Trump administration officials to have ICE “reconsider its approach to immigration enforcement in the state.”

This man is SO not up to the job. The entire DHS needs to be dismantled.
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

ICE & CBP have been out kidnapping people in Los Angeles every day since June. The media has moved on and acts like this isn’t still happening. The crises are ongoing. Solidarity with the people fighting back in Minneapolis and everywhere.
please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.
people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

An extraordinary document. Read it.
“Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

Notice how no one shot the man who lunged at Ilhan Omar, even though he did far more than Alex Pretti ever did. The stochastic terrorism fueled by Trump’s demonization of elected officials, American citizens, and immigrants is a permanent stain on American history.

Here’s one of my problems: Kristi Noem is in no way qualified to run DHS. She was chosen because she kissed Trump’s ring on immigration. NOBODY should have voted to confirm her on that basis alone. But here we are.
Eric Garcia: Should Kristi Noem resign?
Murkowski: I voted for her. I would not support her again, and I think it’s probably time for her to step down.
