Looks like Senator Blumenthal's office worked with the whistleblowers, and has already put out a letter to the Trump admin demanding answers.
Congress MUST act. This is a five alarm fire for our basic rights under the law. bsky.app/profile/blum...

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

I'm going to be reading this and processing it over and over. It came to my inbox the night I returned from my childhood best friend's memorial service. The Andrea Gibson quotations are poignant.
Moses dies before entering the Promised Land, without a word about his fate.
That's not good enough for the Rabbis, who saw their own world destroyed by a bloodthirsty, vindictive Empire & needed to give voice to deeper questions--
& answers --
about human suffering & our obligations.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

I just condensed my thoughts in the wake of Renee Nicole Good's murder-- and links to the pieces for taking action, and ways to stay fortified, even now -- into one piece.

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.
