It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

He says he was then dragged into an SUV and taken to an ICE jail inside the Whipple Federal Building, where he says he was beaten again. Castañeda Mondragón’s injuries are inconsistent with ICE officers’ claims to the nurses who treated him that he “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Every study shows that being in a jail or prison, no matter how "nice" or whatever, shortens your lifespan. It does. So the government is taking years off the lives of people, including children, when it opts to put them in jail. www.propublica.org/article/life...

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Reminder that ICE was invented after 9/11 to terrorize people on US soil. W’s “war on terror” incl mass surveillance, even more racial profiling & aggressive policing & treating immigration as a security issue. Muslims & Brown folk perceived as such can tell you how that went. Abolish.

A number of abolitionists have worked for years to successfully close a number of jails and prisons in the US. Too bad *reformers* have nothing to learn from them especially in this moment.

My latest: Applauding community defense is not enough. We are organizing resistance to a concentration camp regime. The front lines are everywhere. (Plus resources and my must-reads list!)

Notice that the media is still not covering Gorelick. They act like Merrick Garland is some great mystery. The exact people who refused to cover Garland's cover-up of Epstein for four years are now gasping about Epstein and acting like they didn't know the whole time. As my book says, THEY KNEW.

Abolishing DHS, which was created under the Bush administration alongside ICE and Customs and Border Protection, has long been an idea championed by much of the left. Many advocates have reupped their calls for the abolition of DHS in recent weeks. #abolishice

A beloved workers' rights organizer in Minnesota, known for *successfully* fighting against wage theft and labor trafficking, has been detained by federal immigration agents and is now locked up in New Mexico. His family is calling for his urgent release. inthesetimes.com/article/work...

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

I have incarcerated comrades & loved ones who are enduring the daily torture of US prisons. They also continue to make art. They often don't have the proper supplies and yet they make it knowing that it will never make it out to anyone else. But they continue to make art nonetheless. Keep making art

"The new law forbids counties and local law enforcement from contracting with ICE. It mandates that public bodies terminate any existing immigration detention agreements and prohibits the use of public property for federal civil immigration detention..." kfoxtv.com/news/local/n...

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress. “She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me. But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them

From THEY KNEW, excerpted here in 2022: "It became reasonable to believe that a critical mass of people in power were either criminals, pedophiles, or traitors, or that they were being blackmailed, bribed, or threatened by a criminal, pedophile, or traitor." lithub.com/sarah-kendzi...

From 2022, an excerpt from THEY KNEW: "Dismissive cries of 'that's just a conspiracy theory' do not work as well when the conspirators, high on their own impunity, keep confessing their crimes and posting the evidence online." lithub.com/sarah-kendzi...

I don't know how any parent can read these stories without shaking with rage.

As I note in my piece, these are ACTUAL questions that NBC News's Tom Llamas asked Donald Trump in his 'extended' interview, while not asking a single question about Epstein, or challenging him on a single lie. zeteo.com/p/nbc-softba...

If you were to actually take his white supremacy and racism seriously, you would evaluate their impacts on every single decision and policy advanced by the administration. And you would be on board for future reparations.

The Trump regime will never forgive or stop trying to punish people for the cruelties it has already committed against them.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

They've adopted a strategy of claiming they're dialing it down while changing nothing on the ground. Minnesota is still under a violent, lawless reign of ICE terror. Children and families are still being abducted. Do not look away.

The federal government is just disappearing children.

Peter Thiel is in the Epstein files saying “democracy is a failed experiment” and that women and poor people should have never had the right to vote and they are strategically positing how to stop both. They also used Epstein to pressure governments to get their way. One of Trump’s biggest donors.

If you're thinking about Washington Post, "well, to hell with them, they did it to themselves," then count yourself on the side of management. Because, no, labor didn't do this to themselves, didn't grind the paper down, yank it right, & rip out its spine. That's capital. Now we'll all suffer.

In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD. Just some facts I think bear repeating.

the guy who financed a propaganda film about the nazi first lady is killing a newspaper that writes unfavorably about her and her husband. this is how the club works.

This story is a Kafkaesque nightmare. One of several examples: the government does not give you the option to identify yourself correctly in the paperwork, and then shows up to arrest you for failing to identify yourself correctly in the paperwork. Maddening, and well worth the read.

I was a White House ethics lawyer. I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules. I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

From THEY KNEW:

"QAnon is a propaganda operation and QAnon is a cult. "But above all, QAnon is an alibi." -- THEY KNEW (published 2022

God Damn. Written 4 years ago. Read this in the light of yesterday's tranche of Epstein file releases. I've been wondering where QAnon went, since they – Q themselves and their followers – claimed to be all about exposing pedophilia and human trafficking. Why so silent? They Knew. Including Bondi.

If a court blocks the TPS termination and DHS still decides to go in hot, they could target the smaller number of non-TPS-protected Haitian asylum seekers (those who entered after June 3, 2024) working legally while their cases go through the system, and carry out “re-arrests” to detain them.

Horrifying NEWS: “These are incredibly straightforward cases,” attorney Rebekah Wolf, who is desperately fighting to save her clients from being sent to torture or death by getting a federal judge to stay the removal before tomorrow’s flight, told me this afternoon. www.advocate.com/news/iranian...

An @immcouncil.org report confirms what we've witnessed: a 2450% increase in the arrests and detention of people with no criminal history proves there is no "right way" to pursue legal status in this country. ICE is separating families and tearing people from their communities without cause.

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

It's not voters' fault that they cannot keep up with the machinations of politicians. But once you DO know what they have done in the past, it should inform your views of them.

the last year has left me with unending faith in the courage of ordinary people and bottomless contempt for the fecklessness of our ruling class

Abolish ICE. Abolish the border. Abolish the police. A better world is possible if we fight for it.

In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition. We’ve also added a list of additional recommended reading:
