🚨New day, new horror.

ICE deports two families, including 3 children that are US CITIZENS aged 2, 4 & 7.

The families were snatched & blocked from communicating with attorneys/family.

One mother is pregnant. One child has cancer & was deported without medication or any doctor support.

INHUMANE.
Statement from ACLU. It reads: ICE Deports 3 U.S. Citizen Children Held Incommunicado Prior to the Deportation Families disappeared and isolated without legal access; one child with cancer deported without medication and pregnant mother deported as well FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 25, 2025 CONTACT: media@aclu.org New Orleans, LA - Today, in the early hours of the morning, the New Orleans Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Field Office deported at least two families, including two mothers and their minor children - three of whom are U.S. citizen children aged 2, 4, and 7. One of the mothers is currently pregnant. The families, who had lived in the United States for years and had deep ties to their communities, were deported from the U.S. under deeply troubling circumstances that raise serious due process concerns. ICE detained the first family on Tuesday, April 22, and the second family on Thursday, April 24. In both cases, ICE held the families incommunicado, refusing or failing to respond to multiple attempts by attorneys and family members to contact them. In one instance, a mother was granted less than one minute on the phone before the call was abruptly terminated when her spouse tried to provide legal counsel's phone number. As a result, the families were completely isolated during critical moments when decisions were being made about the welfare of their minor children. This included decisions with serious implications for the health, safety, and legal rights of the children involved - without any opportunity to coordinate with caretakers or consult with legal representatives. These actions stand in direct violation of ICE's own written and informal directives, which mandate coordination for the care of minor children with willing caretakers - regardless of immigration status - when deportations are being carried out. Both families have possible immigration relief, but because ICE denied them access to their attorneys, legal counsel was unable to assis…

Trump fabricates a photo of Mr. Garcia with MS-13 tattoo on his hand. This is NOT a real image. Trump and his regime fabricated it. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCISM regimes do. www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country

"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."
Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

Enough media talk of Israel “hitting targets”. There’s no precision. The one target is Gaza, indiscriminately. An internationally-recognised genocide.

And no more “fragile ceasefire” talk. It was never a ceasefire if one side refused to cease fire.

Last night’s death toll: 413, many children.

Musk takes a break from posting fake news, fascist and racist memes, and slandering Ukraine with Kremlin talking points to again show that he’s a moral imbecile. A true renaissance man.

“You are a traitor.”

An absurd and insulting thing to say to anyone who posts what Senator Kelly did.

And even more insulting since he served as a U.S. Navy captain and a NASA astronaut.

Kelly was a combat pilot and flew 39 combat missions during Operation Desert Storm in the Gulf War.
Alt-Text: A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Senator Mark Kelly (@SenMarkKelly) and a reply from Elon Musk (@elonmusk). Senator Mark Kelly’s post reads: “Just left Ukraine. What I saw proved to me we can’t give up on the Ukrainian people. Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine’s security and can’t be a giveaway to Putin. Let me tell you about my trip and why it’s important we stand with Ukraine.” The post includes a photograph of a rusted, damaged tank covered in graffiti, parked in a public square. People are walking around the area, and a man wearing a camouflage cap and a brown jacket stands next to the tank. In the background, there is a yellow building with a blue roof and a sign that says “Mariupol.” Elon Musk’s reply to the post says: “You are a traitor.”

Americans and others owe Ukrainians a debt of gratitude for their resistance to Russian aggression. That resistance, which Russian political and media elites cannot understand, is grounded in the simple notion that Ukrainians citizens should choose their leaders.
