Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

"I know they killed him" Lucía Pedro Juan was detained with her husband, Francisco Gaspar Cristóbal Andrés, on Sept. 1. She was held for almost 3 months in Camp East Montana. She was deported to Guatemala. Her husband died on Dec. 3. I traveled to speak with her for the El Paso Times.

The New York Times investigated 346 people who donated at least $250,000 to Trump and found that more than half of them (197) have received pardons, jobs, government contracts, special treatment, or favors.

CBS News may not want you to see its CECOT reporting, but I'm happy to share this powerful video that our team produced this year.

NEW — I wrote about Beker Rengifo, a Montana resident from Venezuela who was taken by ICE on Thursday after a routine traffic stop, and how local law enforcement is working with the feds to ensnare people with legal status.

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas. www.nola.com/news/educati...

It's so terrifying! We're in big trouble because check this out...it's almost impossible to communicate with those detained if they can't reach you with their free phone call. #ICELawlessness #immigration

What would you do if your precious daughter or loved one was abducted by the Trump #immigration thugs & they refused to release her even after proof of citizenship? Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales, a 20 year old mother & US citizen was taken from her family by masked agents. #ICELawlessness

‘Two weeks’ - DRINK

They’re calling it the Festivus Speech™️ because it was just 15 minutes worth of airing of grievances

I know this is a bold stance in America, but I simply do not believe we should be declaring war on another country for “stealing our oil” when the oil is, in fact, under the ground of that other country

Reminds me of when republicans in Afghanistan blew up all he Buddhist statues of Bamiyan

Fucking ignorant criminals. NCAR's research has likely saved the world trillions of dollars in business losses, especially agricultural, by way of better understanding the atmosphere and weather. Tornado warnings? Definitely improved by NCAR research. Severe thunderstorms? Hail storms? Ditto.

Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl. Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist. They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed. Another horrific story. More details below.

a “Space Force”, if you will

Bovino's high school friend, who seems like a very nice guy, says, "I hope it works out good for him and his family and the people that are being mistreated." Article is not paywalled. Thank you Chicago Sun-Times!

Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

ICE snatched a human rights hero. Guan Heng risked his life to capture video of Uyghur concentration camps. After escaping to the U.S., Guan was in hiding for years, not knowing his work had been crucial to substantiating China's mass detention practices. On Monday, he has an asylum hearing in NY.

I genuinely don't know if this is a "Minnesotan" thing or an "old guy of a certain age" thing but in case it's Minnesotan and people need an anger translator: this guy is so angry he could just about set something on fire with his mind.

And, yes, we most certainly do deport veterans. We have for decades. It’s a shameful practice and we do it after dangling citizenship before them as an incentive to join the military. I know because I’ve interviewed them on the topic. stribs.medium.com/we-deport-ve...

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Cruelty is their norm This is UNBEARABLY WRONG 5 hours in shackles! Cut off her wedding ring when processing her ! Happening in Minneapolis ICE MUST BE STOPPED Call Your Representatives 202 224-3121 !!

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Where and how to submit comments to Customs and Border Patrol about the idiotic idea of making every tourist - even from our closest allies - submit their social media in order to visit the USA. Who in their right mind would come here?

Gift article. Immigrants power US science. What we are doing to ourselves is already worse than Brexit was for Britain. Fire Stephen Miller now. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/s...

Political reforms which would set us on a path towards a new system which don’t require a constitutional amendment: - Proportional representation in the House with RCV in the Senate - Expanding the Supreme Court and limiting its power - Abolishing the filibuster - Adding DC and PR as states

New WSJ reporting: "During a December visit to Washington, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire, people familiar with the matter said..."

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

Alligator Alcatraz Detainees Tortured in Small ‘Box,’ Amnesty International Says

Hey folks 👋 I'm the reporter who revealed immigration agents detained 170+ citizens this year My fellowship w/ProPublica has been incredible, but it wraps January. I'm looking for my next gig. Please reach out to share leads & opportunities! [email protected] www.propublica.org/people/nicol...

Remember the college student deported at the airport as she flew home for Thanksgiving? ICE is now after her family. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/u...

They are now targeting people who did everything by the book and were literally at the ceremony where they were going to become citizens... "Immigrants lined up to become U.S. citizens in Boston on Dec. 4 were pulled from line by USCIS officials moments before the oath ceremony"

Oops www.propublica.org/article/trum...

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about Don Jr receiving a massive loan for his startup from the Pentagon. I guess when there’s so much corruption some things fly under the radar?

@thebulwark.com Tim Miller, tell us more about the 1729 company, Don Jr's venture capital company, and its government contacts.

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

New Orleans Police could enforce La. R.S. 14:313

I think it’s bad that leaders of companies are visibly up to their gills in stimulants now. Did nobody tell them that, contrary to how they make you feel, those things make you stupid? This is why everyone needs some fuck up friends growing up, to teach them that there’s no good way to abuse drugs.

That last point. Cassidy really has enormous leverage if he wants to use it. He would win this fight. Worst case is he winds up losing a primary and spends his 70s (he's 68 now) as a hero to millions. He'll likely never have as much influence over anything again as he has over this right now.

“I denounce the Trump Domestic Terrorism Campaign that continues to target law-abiding residents in Huntington Park and across the nation,” said Huntington Park Mayor Arturo Flores. The full story: lataco.com/feds-hit-fle... By Aisha Wallace-Palomares

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

The Epstein files should have already been released.
