This sort of video, of detained men waving their papers, giving their names and hoping the world will notice them, is horribly familiar from authoritarian regimes around the world.
A woman uploaded a video on TikTok of a call made from within the Bluebonnet ICE detention center of panicked people saying that they were accused of being part of Tren de Aragua, ordered to sign papers in English, and told they'd be deported imminently no matter if they signed or not.

NEW: If you paid taxes for 2024, you likely paid $3,707 for weapons and war, from Pentagon contractors to nuclear weapons.
That's more than you paid for Medicaid ($1,823), the Department of Education ($787), and the National Institutes of Health ($149) combined.
We need to reprioritize. #TaxDay

New Yorkers aren’t stupid. We see exactly what this is. Eric Adams is letting ICE onto Rikers to serve his deal with Trump and court MAGA support, now that he’s back to being a Republican.
Unsurprisingly, Mastro announces just hours later he'll allow ICE to open an office on Rikers Island, after Mayor Adams said he would in February, Marcia Kramer reports: www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
