I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases.
This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

People seem to think the Proud Boys are some elite fighting force. Generally speaking they're a bunch of drunk, out of shape 40 year old divorcees.
They are not a fighting force. Proud Boys are best known for singling out femmes walking alone, skater kids, etc. So that's the danger.

Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Not excited at the third case being taken up at ALL. It comes out of a series of legal victories over the past few years which have found that private prison companies are violating trafficking laws by forcing ICE detainees to work for $1/day through threats. GEO Group wants those lawsuits stopped.

This is the reason we’ve kept different data sets separate for so long. And why, for a brief time, the Heritage Foundation sect allowed the Doge sect to run rampant. They have (most) everything they need.
The campaign to terrorize the poor continues. The regime added a clause to grant agreements that will allow them to weaponize public housing funds. It continues to comb through resident data claiming to look for fraud. This is what they are really up to.

Sooooo… ICE now has a bigger budget than the NIH which funds almost all of the biomedical research in America.
This is precisely where the priorities of this administration lie.

The House bill increases funding for ICE but $45 billion which is 5 times their current budget of $9 billion. We are seeing the rise of a fascist police state with the ICE gestapo as its vanguard.

A decade-long ban on AI regulation was quietly slipped into the budget. It gives tech companies unchecked power. No rules, no oversight, no rights. Workers get fired by algorithms while CEOs cash in.

This storm is expected to produce 60+ mph winds, hail, heavy rains and tornadoes. Please be alert, have phones charged and a plan to shelter. If you rely on a weather radio, find an alternate alert system, as NOAA is doing an update and these radios will be offline through Wednesday. 2/3

For everyone saying this doesn't matter because ICE doesn't follow the law:
1. They want you to think knowing your rights makes no difference when we know for a fact it does. How do we know that? Because Homan himself said people knowing their rights cost then hundreds of arrests in Chicago.

If you are stopped by Trump's ICE goons, or any other kind of cops:
I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT.
Memorize it.
And don't let ICE in without a JUDICIAL warrant. No, administrative warrants don't count.
