PEOPLE OVER QUOTAS!!!!!!!

#AbolishICE
An 82 year old man was taken by ICE at a green card replacement appointment. His family was never informed where he was or how to get ahold of him until he was in a foreign hospital... despite the fact that he was a permanent legal resident of the US. Luis Leon came to the US 38 years ago. He had been tortured in his native Chile by the administration of the dictator Augusto Pinochet. The US gave him political asylum and he came legally to the United States in 1987. Luis built a life here in the US. He worked at a leather manufacturing plant, raised four kids, and eventually retired. He’s well-loved in his neighborhood in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He likes to garden and fish and do small repairs for the neighbors. In June he lost his wallet, which had his green card in it. No problem. Luis and his wife made an appointment to get it replaced. But when they arrived for the appointment, Luis was handcuffed and taken away, and his wife was held for ten hours until her granddaughter showed up to get her. His family couldn’t find him for a full month. The immigration detention tracker never showed him as in ICE custody. Immigration officials had no answers they were willing to give, despite multiple calls. The family called local prisons and hospitals and even morgues but couldn’t find anyone who knew where Luis was. A relative in Chile called the family yesterday to let them know that 82-year-old Luis was now in a hospital in Guatemala… apparently deported to this country by the US government, though ICE still won’t even confirm that Luis showed up for his green card replacement appointment, let alone that they had him in custody and deported him. Now that the family has found Luis, ICE says they are “investigating” what happened. Sometimes when I share these stories, people push back and say something like, “If he was here for all these years, why didn’t he become a citizen.” It’s a really weird and ignorant question for a variety of reasons, but more importantly it’s off topic to this post. So before we change subjects to why someone might not get their US citizenship, let me pose a few counter questions: Do you think legal permanent resident of the US should be taken into custody at what should be a normal administrative appointment? Do you think people should be held with no access to lawyers or family? Should permanent legal residents be deported to a country other than their home country and put in a hospital without ever informing family or legal representation? Because that’s what we’re talking about. Meanwhile, we have no idea if ICE deported a legal, permanent resident of the United States on purpose or somehow “by accident.” Certainly since ICE’s tripled quota for arrests they’ve had a lot more “mistakes.” And I’m not just talking about the more famous moments, like “administrative errors” that involve illegally deporting someone to El Salvador. We also have things like: * A US marshal being mistakenly detained by ICE. * ICE apologized for detaining US citizens because it caught them… speaking Spanish. * ICE claims assaults against agents had increased between 500-700% but then released statistics that showed — despite the huge increase in ICE arresting people — ICE’s own self-reported stats of assaults barely increased at all. Probably because they’ve been arresting people on bogus assault claims and then never charged any of them because it was just an excuse to put bystanders in handcuffs. * ICE accidentally sent a 15 year old to the Everglades Concentration Camp because they didn’t verify his age or identity. Meanwhile, Luis — a permanent resident of the US who came here legally, had legal status and doesn’t have so much as a parking ticket — has been taken from his family, kept from legal counsel, deported to a country he has never been from, and put in the hospital. Why? Because he lost his wallet.

When fallen soldiers were returned to U.S., Barack Obama stood rigid for 45 minutes to recieve our heroes.

April 2025 more US heroes returned in flag-covered caskets and Trump? He golfed

The difference between dignified commander in chief Obama and traitor trash Trump is massive. #June14 coming

And somehow, there are still vets out here backing this man? It makes zero sense. He dodged the draft, insulted POWs, called fallen soldiers “suckers”—and now this?

At what point is enough finally enough?

All else aside, it would be nice if the attorney general knew what treason was.
bradheath.bsky.social Brad Heath @bradheath.bsky.social · Apr 25
The attorney general is making it easier for prosecutors to seize reporters' records.

She says DOJ "will not tolerate unauthorized disclosures that undermine President Trump's policies," which she compares to treason.

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg ). The post reads: "Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that."

The president sure seems to "don't know" about a whole lot of really critical stuff that he should probably be the first to know about.

Concerning.

If there was a “Houthi PC 𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡 group” text chain, might there have been another chain for a 𝙗𝙞𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙧 group?

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.

Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.
Because DOGE has shut down USAID's payment system (Phoenix), our housing electricity and the electricity in our USAID building have not been paid for. Mission leadership has informed us that the only reason our electricity is on is because we've asked for an extension from the electric company. The Mission asked for a waiver but because our payment system is down, the Treasury has no way to issue money to USAID and State Department representatives here are hesitant to make payments on our behalf for fear of not being reimbursed. 7. Once the electricity goes out in our homes, we lose access to our security cameras and radios. Again, I live in a high-risk post, so access to security systems is very important to me. 8. I have been told by Mission leadership that the cell phone and internet bills are due this week with no way to pay them. This is despite the so-called "waiver" process that has been allegedly implemented to preserve such access. 9. Our cell phones and radios are also the only way to communicate with the Regional Security Office about security threats. We have access to no other USAID security systems. The agency is also considering spending about $25,000 to install a washer and dryer on the building’s 6th floor, according to a Feb. 25 invoice obtained by POLITICO. There is also a child’s play area decorated with a stuffed animal and toys, according to a photo of the room shared with POLITICO. “People are definitely … sleeping there,” said one GSA staffer.

Approximately 60% of the aid spending for Ukraine remains in the U.S., benefiting local industries and workers. Trump is lying about it and performing for Putin.

Trump & the GOP want to gut federal education funding—right out of Project 2025. And for what? More tax cuts for billionaires.

📌 Less funding means fewer teachers, bigger class sizes and more struggling students—all while other countries invest more in their kids.
