Exactly. It is an immigrant's loving homage to his adopted home. Mr. B. is an excellent example of how our country, and even the world, can be made better by accepting strangers into our land.

And the music is by John Philip Sousa, the child of Portuguese immigrants, and who served in the Marines.

ICE is the regime’s instrument of genocide. The camps are their way of managing the process until every last immigrant’s life is deported or extinguished.

Some good news:
This immigrant's declaration -- which was so horrifying that more than 3000 folks reposted it -- helped convince MN federal judge Nancy Brasel to grant a TRO today prohibiting ICE from abusing immigrant prisoners.

9 DHS does not let clients join, spending time updating their families, and in cases where there is additional movement after the first transfer out of Minnesota, finding my clients again.”).) While examples abound of the challenges that result from Defendants’ policies and practices, the Court below focuses on the experiences of four individuals who were initially detained at Whipple: O., J.J.B., J.I.B.C., and L.H.M. I. O. O. is a 20-year-old applicant for asylum and Special Immigration Juvenile Status. (O. Decl. ¶ 1.) He has an Employment Authorization Document, and his removal proceedings are administratively closed while he waits for an asylum interview. (Id.) On January 10, 2026, while driving back to work after getting lunch with his father and cousin, a car quickly passed O., sped up, then stopped in front of him. (Id. ¶ 3.) A few men in civilian clothes stepped out of the car and asked for his identification. (Id.) The men threatened O.—if he did not get out of the car, they would force him out. (Id.) O. exited the car and was told he was under arrest. (Id.) The men handcuffed him and did not allow him to bring his phone. (Id.) O. felt like he was being kidnapped. (Id.) The men detained O., his father, and his cousin, taking them all to Whipple. (Id. ¶ 4.) At Whipple, there was “food scattered on the floor, the floor was sticky with mud, and everything stuck to your shoes.” (Id. ¶ 5.) The space was so cramped that sometimes there was no space to sit on the floor. (Id.) The morning after O. was arrested, ICE allowed him to make one call. (Id. ¶ 6.) O. wanted to call his attorney, but he did not have her number. (Id.) After repeatedly asking an ICE officer to look up her number, the ICE officer did so and found two numbers. (Id.) But both numbers were general organization numbers, so the numbers did not work. (Id.) He was not allowed another call. (Id.) Unbeknownst to O., his attorneys filed a habeas petition on his behalf the second day of his confinement. Case No. 26-167 (JWB/JFD) (D. Minn. Jan. 11, 2026), ECF No. 1 (Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus). His attorney had no opportunity to meet with him to discuss his rights or the claims and facts relevant to his petition. (Boche Decl. ¶ 13.) Also on his second day of confinement, O. was transferred to El Paso, Texas. (O. Decl. ¶¶ 6–7.) In El Paso, agents told detainees that ICE did not have the resources for detainees to make phone calls. (Id. ¶ 12.) There were only two flip phones for all the detainees at the detention facility, and O.’s cell alone held about seventy-two individuals. (Id.) Over the ten days of his detention in El Paso, agents brought the flip phones to his cell two or three times, for two hours each. (Id.) If someone got the phone, they could only use it for two minutes. (Id.) On January 15—O.’s fifth day of confinement—a judge granted O.’s petition and ordered his immediate release in Minnesota. Case No. 26-167 (JWB/JFD) (D. Minn. Jan. 10 15, 2026), ECF No. 6 (Order). O.’s attorney scheduled meetings with O. online, but O. was not made available to the attorney. (Boche Decl. ¶ 14.) The ICE attorney on O.’s habeas case told O.’s attorney that O. would be released in Minnesota by January 20, 2026. (Id.) But on January 24—nine days after a court ordered O.’s release—O. was transferred to another location in New Mexico. (Id.; O. Decl. ¶¶ 19–20.) O.’s attorney learned this not through ICE, despite repeated calls and emails, but through numerous and time-consuming attempts to locate O. (Id.). Then, on or about January 27, 2026, O was transferred back to El Paso. (O. Decl. ¶ 26.) Back again in El Paso, an officer told O. he “had no chance of returning to Minnesota,” “the best thing for [him] is self-deportation,” and that if O. fought his case, he would be in El Paso for months longer. (O. Decl. ¶ 27.) O. was offered $2,600 to sign self-deportation forms. (Id.) If O. didn’t know that his release had been ordered—which he learned through the one call he had with his attorney while in New Mexico. not through Defendants—he might have signed the forms because of the unbearable conditions. (Id. ¶¶ 23, 27.) Shortly after that conversation, Defendants told O. that he “might be free.” (Id. ¶ 28.) When ICE finally brought O. to the airport, they arrived too late and he missed the plane. (Id. ¶ 29.) He made the flight the next day, and his teacher picked him up. (Id. ¶¶ 31–32.) O. was detained for 18 days, despite a judge ordering his release on the fifth day of his detention. (See id. ¶ 33.) Officers never told him why he was detained or why he was released. (See id.)

I donated my clothes and household items regularly to an actual immigrant’s daughter fleeing death. She was a neighbor up the street without air conditioning or even windows.

She at 15 had to stab her own father to save her mother and siblings.

She vowed to me “I will never be a gang banger.”

I thought the federal mandate of ICE was to go after immigrant's of questionable legal status in the country, not a blitzkrieg force to go after "agitators" trying to defend American democracy & the rule of law in the US from the Trump crime synidcate...

Setting aside current bad take on slavery and/or native Americans:

That time he highlighted an immigrant's inability to read as a cause of an air disaster. He highlighted the immigrant bit. Didn't note that the immigrant was literate in French, working in Paris, and the sign was in English.

To say an immigrant and an immigrant's story are not the American story and the thing that makes us great is to promote a racist, fascist, hateful lie, which is exactly what's happening. We have an obligation to stand beside them and challenge the lies. niemanstoryboard.org/2018/04/03/n...

Except I’ve lost track of the number of news items I’ve read reporting that ICE/CBP goons didn’t believe someone’s Real ID was real, or threw it away, or didn’t accept an immigrant’s legal status & took them away anyway. Mullin’s “defense” here is disingenuous, to say the least.
