NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality. Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Staff members have been instructed to scrub this topic and ‘biodefense’ from the agency’s website

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

Those who need therapy often have to pay out of pocket or go without care, even if they have health insurance. Hundreds of mental health providers told us they fled networks because insurers made their jobs impossible and their lives miserable. (Published Aug. 2024)

The SAVE Act would require Americans to show a passport or birth certificate in person just to register to vote. Millions of Americans don’t have access to these documents. This is voter suppression, plain and simple. Call your senators to urge them to vote no: (202) 224-3121

Follow the money

When temperatures plunge, the lives of incarcerated people are put on the line. Frigid showers, worn down clothing, and inadequate heating systems have caused people to die in jail cells that reach reach freezing temperatures in the winter. Warmth shouldn't be a luxury.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

'... Newt Gingrich, whose pamphlet Language: A Key Mechanism of Control (1990) lists "positive" and "negative" words to use for "effective" speeches. Trump's entire vocabulary can be found there, from "common sense" to "pathetic."' www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

To her credit, Bondi did not shoot the pup dead as Noem did. She was instead ready to use lawyers to break the heart of its four-year-old owner, though in light of ICE nowadays grabbing children off the street and incarcerating them without their parents, she was just in training.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote. The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔
