There is no statute of limitations on deportations. There are people ordered deported 20, 30, even 40 years ago, who’ve been living here on forbearance ever since; people checking in with ICE since before it existed. The Trump admin is now rounding up and detaining many of them.

Every day I read a lecture on here about how the left has to better tailor its message. By which they mean compromise it so it’s not the left’s message anymore. Buddy you are already filling that role I’m not doing your job too.

According to their attorney, ICE deported the family with only the money that they had in their commissary—a total of $190.

After a discussion with their attorney, I have confirmed that Juan, his 16-month-old sister, his mom, and his dad have been deported.

The idea that the Chamber of Commerce is "left-wing" is beyond insane. It is completely disconnected from reality. Chamber of Commerce was to the right of Reagan.

The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't. They won't only be for brown and Black people. The targets will keep expanding. It will not end. The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

On a positive note: we will have enough ICE facilities to hold all of DHS, ICE, this administration and everyone in the Epstein files so that justice will be served. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

You realize that once warehouses are converted to concentration camps they aren't going back to warehouses...

The upside of social media is that so many powerful and influential folks have revealed how absolutely cooked they are. Without this, we may think they were competent

Carla Cunningham, the Dem lawmaker who has given the NC GOP critical votes on bills to force compliance with ICE and break environmental rules, faces a huge primary challenge. We reached her asking for an interview, & when she declined we asked her campaign specific questions. All we got:

It absolutely can. Detention fuels deportation. There are 13+ million undocumented immigrants, and they want to ramp up the deportation throughput, and one of the best ways to do that is expanding detention. They’ve been saying that for years.

As it stands, GEO is poised to rake in tens of billions of federal dollars for detaining immigrants over the next four years; and thanks to the Trump admin installing a top GEO executive at ICE, the company appears to have kept its competitors from profiting anywhere near as much.

The Texas primary is in two weeks and the 6th most Trump friendly Democrat in the House, Vicente Gonzalez, is being challenged by Etienne Rosas. If you can, donate your time and money to get Gonzalez out. Make sure all of your Texan friends & family know how important it is that he is loses.

The Texas primary is in two weeks and the most Trump friendly Democrat in the House, Henry Cuellar, has a pair of primary challengers. If you can, donate your time and money to get him out. Make sure all of your Texan friends & family know how important it is that he is loses.

U.S. Capitol Police release a photo of the weapon carried by a suspect arrested out on the West Front of the Capitol. "The suspect, 18-year-old Carter Camacho of Smyrna, GA, was arrested" www.uscp.gov/media-center...

The termination of removal proceedings against Mohsen comes right after a judge did the same for Rümeysa Öztürk — the Tufts student the Trump-Vance-Rubio admin kidnapped for an op-ed asking her school to heed a student vote to acknowledge the genocide & divest from companies tied to Israel.

Increasingly ICE seems to be sending single cars (lots of Subarus) with one agent (some women) to sit in various neighborhood all days. There’s also a belief some may be ICE-contracted bounty hunter types. They’re not as noticeable and it’s not clear what they’re casing, but they’re really lurking.

so, what do you do for work?

I identified four (4) NBA teams part-owned by a firm that sold a property to the Department of Homeland Security for a planned ICE detention center. And I explain why more owners could follow in the warehouse to megajail business. it's the new [eyeblack]:

A cyber truck is just proof that you can really convince people to purchase anything

The current person in charge of ICE's procurement for detention is a GEO Group executive who ran the company's immigration detention portfolio. He was granted an "ethics waiver" from DHS allowing him to hand out contracts to GEO in his new role.

YES. I've been begging for this. They are running illegal detention facilities in office buildings. Municipalities shut down businesses all the time for health code or zoning violations far less severe than ICE's. Pressure your cities!

"Marimar Martinez, the Chicago woman shot by federal agents last fall, was already on the government's radar before an agent opened fire, identified as a threat after a social media post."

I can’t help thinking there’s so much money changing hands wrt ICE detention that there aren’t even enough investigative reporters to track www.michiganpublic.org/criminal-jus...

A second government official... questioned why, after months of attacks in the region, search and rescue assets weren’t pre-positioned closer to the Eastern Pacific. “SOUTHCOM doesn’t want these people alive,” that official said.

I don’t who needs to hear this but I am NEVER voting for Tim Kaine’s theoretical grandson in the 2068 Presidential election

Like, USAID still legally exists, still receives budget from Congress, and the few dozen remaining employees (who work at State) still have usaid.gov emails and all our systems and databases still exist. It's just the 10k of us who actually did the work are gone. Just do that to ICE and CBP.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Every day, at least 300 immigrants land at La Lima airport in the northwest region of Honduras after being deported from the US. Many have arrived without their children – having no idea where their kids are or who is taking care of them.

Utah's banned a book published in 1998 from every single public school in the state. You know, a book those banners probably had on shelves when they were in high school and it wasn't an issue then.

NEW: Remember Trump sued the WSJ/Murdoch for $10b re the story revealing the birthday greeting Trump sent Epstein? In their response, as I report in my OUR LAND newsletter, Murdoch says Trump is too lewd to have suffered reputational damage from the story. link.motherjones.com/public/44123...

NEW: Judge Xinis continues her order preventing the government from re-detaining Killmar Abrego Garcia, finding "no 'good reason to believe' removal is likely in the reasonably foreseeable future." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I think people usually call this going back to normal, you know, when they kill and kidnap nonwhite people and no one writes pop songs about it.

"So while the 'investigation' may be completely bogus, the threat of it still has a dangerous impact on free expression in a country staring down the barrel of authoritarianism. Somewhere, Tim Cook is shopping around for another shiny bauble to throw at the feet of our mad, idiot king."

Part of being a parent in the 2020s is telling your kids over breakfast that the president's private paramilitary arrested a bunch of people the day before and separated them by race before hauling them off to a concentration camp. These aren't easy conversations to have!

apologies, that's a ***$220 million*** DHS contract.

Interesting. I wonder if her husband's firm will continue to benefit from this $20M DHS contract. www.citizen.org/news/dhs-ass...

Yes, exactly. The 1892 Geary Act is another example of requiring some people to carry proof of their legal status with them at all times.

One of these companies is Toka, which offers products that hack into specific vehicles to harvest real time location data, as well as onboard camera and even microphone feeds. Toka was co-founded by Epstein confidant/partner and former Israeli PM Ehud Barak.

Some red states have agreed to hand over their voter rolls to Pam Bondi's DOJ *and* let the DOJ identify specific individuals that should be removed from the voter rolls, the Alaska Beacon reports as this is the case in Alaska: alaskabeacon.com/2026/02/13/a...

We've just rolled out ambient AI listening in our hospital, and my colleagues are really, really excited about it (more time doing things other than note writing). They're so excited that things like patient concerns/autonomy are lost. We're just making up ethics as we go along with AI right now.

Today I'm remembering the courage of Jesse Jackson across his life, including the 1984 DNC when he called for the Party to support the inclusion of queer people in their coalition at a time both parties and the public were indifferent to our suffering and opposed to our equality.

One week ago, the Trump administration tried to indict six sitting members of Congress for pretty clearly protected free speech: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Susan Collins says she's in favor of the SAVE Act, which is the Trump push to overhaul how elections are administered. wgme.com/news/local/c... The bill would impose voter ID requirements... which Mainers literally just rejected in a referendum in November. boltsmag.org/five-ways-20...

And this was interestingly unanimous— and not being that well reflected yet in the offerings from actual Dem politicians. Word to the wise

ICE agents are still out there this morning, photographing schools from unmarked vehicles and then quickly leaving after being confronted. Keep your heads up.

"Earlier emails seem to also indicate that Kavanaugh was Epstein’s favorite to be nominated by Donald Trump. Epstein and Starr traded messages about it on 4 July 2018, days before the news was official, and Epstein called Kavanaugh his 'first choice'."
