La semana pasada en DC, un agente de ICE fue descubierto removiendo letreros que indicaban lugares donde ICE había detenido a alguien de la comunidad. Creemos que lo hizo por ira, culpa o, mejor dicho, por vergüenza? Si ellos creen que lo que hacen está bien, por qué intentan ocultar las pruebas? 👀

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

reading her bio and seeing so much of myself. if I'd been in an environment and time where I figured my gender/sex stuff out in my teens instead of in my late 20s, I'd have followed a very similar path. and having that then get taken away after feeling that hope might have destroyed a younger me.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...
Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

Ah yes, stochastic deportations. A strategy from the regime that also ferments stochastic terrorism.

Right now, our union of 12,000 baristas are demanding a fair contract... and we're in the middle of voting on a strike authorization.

When the expanded occupation began, the MSMA hotline became the hotline for reporting all police & fed activity in the DMV area. Our operators stepped up to triple-staff our 24-7 hotline. We created post detention teams.

In Sep, we launched Film the Police DC alongside Harriet’s Wildest Dreams.
Hotline & Film the Police DC When the expanded occupation began in August, the MSMA hotline became the hotline for reporting all police & fed activity in the DMV area. Our operators stepped up to triple-staff our 24-7 hotline. Also, our admin team quickly adapted our systems, built more infrastructure, and trained more operators to handle the influx of calls, texts & emails. Since Aug 12, the hotline team fielded: • 4,750 incoming calls • Thousands of text messages • 227 intakes for detained people for legal referrals & mutual aid • Requests for the DMV Accompaniment Network On Sep 2, we launched Film the Police DC in collaboration with Harriet's Wildest Dreams. Since then, we have received over 900 emails with photos & videos. Accompaniment & Post Detention Care We formed Post Detention Care teams who have been reaching out to families who have had loved ones detained since August. We then connect them with our existing mutual aid and legal resources as well as a team from a local faith institution or community group to create a pod of ongoing support for the impacted family. Since the expanded occupation began, our comrades at the DMV Accompaniment Network (DAN) have done 65 accompaniments to immigration check-ins, appointments, or court. They also have significantly grown their volunteer network in the past 3 months, adding 120 new volunteers and hosting 7 trainings, covering DC, Baltimore, Towson, Herndon, Centreville, Warrenton, and Chevy Chase.

In mid-August, 71% of D.C. residents said local police should not be assisting in federal immigration enforcement, as part of a @washingtonpost.com poll.

"People are feeling gaslit right now," @robertwhitedc.bsky.social says, when the extent to which MPD is cooperating is unclear to the public.
Questions remain about MPD’s work with ICE. Activists want lawmakers to step in
They say the D.C. Council should publicly question MPD about cooperation on immigration enforcement.

There was a noticeable different pre- and post- MPD collaboration with feds.

Before, they were wandering popular touristy areas. After, they were targeting Black and Brown neighborhoods with surgical precision.

They've used Chicago as a testing/training ground for this roving army of BP dipshits after doing the same in LA. Feels pretty crucial that everyone not in Chicago continue paying attention to Chicago to know exactly what to expect when they move elsewhere.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.
Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ BREAKING: Per four senior DHS & Trump admin sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the country is underway, with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed & reassigned in an effort to increase deportation numbers. I'm told the move is spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. I'm told some of the ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE Field Office Directors in: - Los Angeles - Phoenix - Philadelphia - Denver - El Paso - San Diego - Seattle/Portland - New Orleans Border Patrol officials taking over ICE leadership positions would be extremely significant, as Border Patrol and ICE do different things, and I've done numerous ride-alongs/embeds with both. Generally speaking, ICE typically conducts very targeted operations, largely going after criminal illegal aliens or those with deportation orders, but almost always knowing who they are targeting for arrest, often conducting surveillance to learn their schedules before and waiting hours before arresting them if needed. Border Patrol, under Trump 2.0, while sometimes doing their own targeted operations, has been extremely aggressive and has been at the forefront of some of the most controversial immigration enforcement operations we've seen so far, carrying out roving patrols in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc, often at Home Depot, car washes, flea markets etc, leading to a handful of federal judges around the country issuing injunctions against them. A majority of the viral videos you see online are Border Patrol agents, including the use of a Trojan horse style Penske moving truck at a Los Angeles Home Depot, an operation organized by Bovino. ICE often gets blamed for what Border Patrol does, as the media and activists often cannot tell the difference between federal agents, and everyone is called "ICE". I'm told there are growing concerns about the political and PR fallout associated with some of the roving patrols Border Patrol is conducting as lawsuits continue to stack up and mid-terms approach next year. I'm told there is significant friction within different wings of DHS and the administration, with Border Czar Tom Homan & ICE Director Todd Lyons preferring to prioritize targeting criminal aliens & the "worst of the worst" or those with deportation orders, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and BP Commander Bovino prefer to use aggressive tactics to arrest anyone in the US illegally, including but not limited to criminals, to ramp up deportation numbers and achieve President Trump's promises of mass deportations. I am hearing from both sides of this friction. One senior DHS official tells me: "ICE started with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol started in LA in June, we've (DHS) lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization. It's getting numbers, but at what cost?". Border Patrol agents I've talked to defend their tactics, with one telling me: "What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst? Tom Homan has said it himself, anyone in the US illegally is on the table." It's quite a situation, as both sides of this are on the same team, with the same end goals, but different perspectives on how to get there. Another DHS official confirmed the personnel changes to me on deep background, adding that the moves are based on performance and doing what is needed to achieve the best results. Official statement to @FoxNews via @TriciaOhio : "While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump Administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country." 7:57 PM · Oct 27, 2025 · 29.6K Views
