The disproportionate criminalization of Black people starts at a young age. While Black and white kids use drugs at similar rates, Black youth make up 24% of kids confined for drug offenses, despite comprising just 14% of the general youth population.

While the U.S. goes for gold & aims to be the best at the Olympics, it's already #1 among independent democracies when it comes to mass incarceration – and that’s nothing to celebrate. So much for the “land of the free.”

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go. Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go. Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go. As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go.

So many people get sent to the hellhole that is the Baltimore hold room. These are the horrors that many people don't see or hear about. What ICE does on the streets is just one, visible part of the violence they put our communities through. So much more happens behind closed doors. Free them all.

It is increasingly clear that stripping the Department of Homeland Security down to the studs — ICE, Border Patrol, all of it — is the minimum we must do when we regain power. But we can’t afford to wait that long to rein in these agencies.
