No one deserves detention.

No one deserves deportation.

No one deserves prison.

No one deserves to be separated from their loved ones.

No human is illegal. Free them all.

No. We are not living beyond our means. We have simply been denied the means to live.

We have allowed ourselves to believe that it's normal to have 4% of the world's population and 25% of the world's prisoners. We have allowed prisons that violate multiple basic provisions of international humanitarian law. Our prisons are filled with people being literally tortured.

Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

Interesting how the party who spent years telling everyone that learning American history is “too woke” is citing the most obscure 19th century laws to justify its actions.

The fundamental problem with the “alien enemy”-or-innocent binary in this story, as other binaries, is that it’s deeply flawed.

Innocence should be irrelevant. Even Tren de Aragua membership should be irrelevant.

What matters is that this is lawless invocation of a wartime power during peacetime.

This story is absolutely getting overlooked. They are deploying the military within US borders.

This is so dangerous for Natives from border tribes, and all public lands users in this region.

And they won't restrict it to the border, this is just where they are starting.
Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important:

He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.
Donald Trump authorizes U.S. military to take control of land on southern border
President Donald Trump issued a memorandum Friday giving the U.S. military jurisdiction over federal lands at the southern border.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped"

Remember when people dismissed the "Abolish ICE" folks as being too hysterical?

Now, here we are.
The acting director of ICE told the Border Security Expo that his dream is to make the deportation process “like (Amazon) Prime, but with human beings.”

He added, “We need to get better at treating this like a business.”

The depravity of these folks knows no bounds.

IRS Chief just quit in the middle of tax season and a week before tax day bc they’re forcing IRS to share info with ICE to deport immigrants who pay their taxes bc none of this has nothing to do with who is paying taxes but about control and racism.

Fascism.
