A Senate investigation documents “brazen lawlessness” by ICE and CBP, including rejecting proof of U.S. citizenship, using excessive force, and fabricating charges. As @tusk81.bsky.social writes, "This harassment campaign has been unsparing, even snatching up American children."

Total victory on this issue; members of Congress will again have the right to conduct surprise inspections of ICE detention centers.

Across Illinois, Massachusetts, and North Carolina, faith communities are refusing to stay silent. Churches are using their nativity scenes to call out the Trump administration’s cruel and chaotic anti-immigrant policies that are tearing families apart right now. ✍️ @tusk81.bsky.social

🚨 Earlier today, my office was notified by a local stakeholder about the death of a detainee at Camp East Montana. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...

From Seattle to L.A., Chicago, and now Charlotte, communities are stepping up as Trump’s mass detention and deportation agenda grows more violent and indiscriminate. "The ways that community members are helping their immigrant neighbors truly are ingenious and varied." ✍️ @tusk81.bsky.social

"So law and order means something to [Latino voters], but not the way that it's being exercised right now.” @weareunidosus.bsky.social’s @cmartinezdc.bsky.social also explained that Latino voters feel Democrats aren’t showing progress while Republicans are offering only cruelty w/o accountability.

Immigrant entrepreneurs are powering local economies across the country. "In fact, the New American Economy’s 2019 study found that immigrant-led businesses 'employed almost 8 million American workers and generated $1.3 trillion in total sales'" ✍️ @tusk81.bsky.social

Don’t forget that Trump thinks his enforcement actions aren’t going far enough.

Looking at this a bit more closely, this guy won PRECISELY BECAUSE he raised the "salience" of immigration via attacking ICE raids, and this won by a sizable margin in one of the most important swing counties of all, Bucks County in Pennsylvania.

As @tusk81.bsky.social wrote, "During the past several weeks alone, we’ve seen mass deportation agents operate with an accelerated ruthlessness and impunity" And that was before ICE showed up at a daycare w/o a warrant. When Trump said they "haven’t gone far enough," this is exactly what he meant.

FACT SHEET: Trump’s mass deportation machine operates with haste, deception, and violence americasvoice.org/press_releas...

Don't forget that just this past week, Trump said these raids are not going far enough.

“Have some of these raids gone too far?” O’Donnell asked. “No, I think they haven’t gone far enough," Trump.

Never forget this quote from Trump just last week on CBS: “Have some of these raids gone too far?” O’Donnell asked. “No, I think they haven’t gone far enough," Trump said.

“How did you receive the foreigner? And did you receive him and welcome him or not?” Pope Leo XIV challenges us to reflect on the moral cost of policies that target deeply-root immigrants and families.

After months of Trump's cruel and chaotic Administration, the tide is turning. Voters realize his policies make us weaker, poorer, and less safe. One example tonight from a bellwether in VA:

Voters are wild y’all.

The GOP vile anti-trans campaign failed miserably. Earle-Sears made it her dominant issue - and lost hugely Should be duly noted by the punditry (but don't count on that)

This past weekend, communities gathered for Day of the Dead vigils to remember the growing number of immigrants who’ve lost their lives in federal custody. Families, clergy, and neighbors came together to say their names, light candles, and honor their memories. ✍️ @tusk81.bsky.social

Even Trump’s administration now concedes the truth: America’s farms run on immigrant labor. In an unusual federal filing, his DOL acknowledged that w/o undocumented workers, the U.S. faces a “current and imminent labor shortage” that risks food shortages and higher prices. ✍️ @tusk81.bsky.social

new from @tusk81.bsky.social Rev. David Black, a Presbyterian minister, raised his hands in peaceful prayer when agents on the roof fired pepper balls at him, striking him in the head. Rev. Black & other faith leaders have faced violence for nothing more than praying outside ICE detention centers.

A government of trolls, by trolls, and for trolls.

This is so so awful. He left four children (all Americans, not that it should matter) and a grieving wife (also an American, not that it should matter)

Barbara Gomes Marques is documentary filmmaker who risks imminent deportation to Brazil. Loud voices in the film community could be especially helpful right now.

Breaking news from Des Moines: ICE has detained Dr. Ian Roberts, the superintendent of Iowa's largest school district. The Des Moines Public Schools said "We have no confirmed information as to why Dr. Roberts is being detained or the next potential steps." www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/09/26/i...

UPDATE: After weeks in ICE detention, #DACA recipient Paulo Cesar Gamez Lira has been released! “Paulo belongs with our family, not in a detention center.” - Alejandra, Paulo’s wife. via @elpasomatters.bsky.social

During Hispanic Heritage Month, many Latino families live in fear of ICE raids. Celebrations are canceled, concerts postponed, and everyday life — school, doctor's appointments, even going to the park—becomes a risk.

“HEPATITAS”

This also shows why it’s so important that this behavior is captured on video. Think about what might happen without cameras in their faces if they’re this brazen with cameras on them.

Bad Bunny’s world tour is skipping the U.S. – not out of hate, but out of fear that ICE could stalk his fans outside concerts. And he's not alone. As @tusk81.bsky.social highlights, more and more artists are canceling U.S. dates over Trump-era immigration chaos.

The governor of Utah prayed that the shooter may have been a foreigner. Why exactly? Well, I’m sure we all know. But to say this out loud? That’s heavy.

basically a generational cohort split here where certain younger people intuitively grasp the irony poisoned context, and if you aren't already up to speed, very hard to explain

In this latest discourse of political violence, I encourage us to not forget attacks like those in El Paso in 2019. That attack was entirely political and driven by dangerous narratives against immigrants that are more prevalent today. And El Paso is far from alone against similar attacks.

Holy shit…You can’t make this up: a plane is circling Soldier Field before the Bears home opener with a banner that reads— “HEY ICE, MASKS ARE FOR CUCKS.” Also the trolling is incredible for those that told us to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.

This is selfish ego-driven leadership that misreads the moment & demoralizes the base. We have to keep calling these leaders out publicly & people have to jump in to primary them to force them affirmatively make their case on why they're the right people to lead us *now.*

How anyone can see this as anything other than post apocalyptic is beyond me. Just unfathomable that this is what it's come to.

Last week, Border Patrol agents massed outside of a @governor.ca.gov news conference. They wound up arresting Angel Rodrigo Minguela Palacios, a strawberry delivery driver with no criminal record and just there to drop off fruit to a tea room. This is his story www.latimes.com/california/s...

Ah, I had noticed abuseofpowerwatch.bsky.social posting useful stories—operated by @americasvoice.bsky.social. Recommended follow.

The white supremacist mass shooter’s defense attorney “explicitly stated that his client believed he was ‘doing Trump’s work’ by stopping the so-called ‘Hispanic invasion,’” @mariocarrillo.bsky.social wrote earlier this year: elpasomatters.org/2025/04/16/o...

NEW: We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims officers use a “minimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social @mckenziefunk.com

NBC News reported that Sen. John Kennedy's office put in a request for DHS to release the mother. Earlier this month, Kennedy also voted to give ICE billions to turbocharge its chaotic and senseless arrests: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/the-big-ug...

Weighs heavy selling your soul, I imagine.

Sincerely feels like every vile thing that this administration can do, they will at least try. I know we should have expected all of this, but it’s still shocking, honestly.

It’s getting very ugly. Racial profiling, raiding churches, deporting religious leaders, sending troops to invade agriculture fields. These are just a few real-world examples of the vicious Trump/Miller mass deportation blitzkrieg destroying our economy, our communities & our democratic way of life.

This week, ICE illegally denied me entry into a processing facility in my district, and today, they released a statement saying I “[gave] the appearance of a political stunt intended to generate publicity rather than pursue genuine oversight.” I have some thoughts.🧵

“The military defends the nation, it doesn’t police its people.” Veterans and military families speak out against the dangerous misuse of troops in law enforcement. Watch their urgent message. ⬇️

“Almost 9 in 10 U.S. adults, 85%, favor a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children, and nearly as many say they favor a path to citizenship for all immigrants in the country illegally as long as they meet certain requirements.”

“I feel betrayed,” said Marine veteran Alejandro Barranco after masked ICE agents assaulted and detained his father, Narciso, who was out working a landscaping job at a local IHOP. Service means nothing under Miller’s deportation machine. ✍️ @tusk81.bsky.social

The Supreme Court clearly believes that lower courts will act to block the birthright citizenship EO through other means (including class actions) in the next 30 days, and therefore feels like it's okay partially staying these injunctions. But man, they are playing with fire.
