WATCH: alleged overcrowding at the Baltimore ICE Field Office.

An alarming video — allegedly happening here in Baltimore.

Protestors display signs during a counter-ICE demonstration Saturday. Downtown. Baltimore, MD. 2026.

If you read one deep dive on the far right grifters skulking around Baltimore this week, make it this one by @madisyn-writes.bsky.social. the-backbone.beehiiv.com/p/far-right-...

For Renee Good, Keith Porter, Alex Pretti, Geraldo Lunas Campos and the dozens more who have been murdered at the hands of ICE. ICE out of Baltimore. ICE out of Minneapolis. ICE out of EVERYWHERE.

Baltimorioles protesting in force outside the ICE field office. #Baltimore

Baltimore!

Come down to city hall Baltimore. Reject ICE, protect democracy.

Genry Ruiz Guillén was one too many. Silverio Villegas González was one too many. Carlos Jimenez was one too many. Jaime Alanis was one too many. An unnamed Mexican man shot dead in Texas was one too many. Renee Nicole Good was one too many. Alexi Jeffrey Pretti was one too many. No more.

mwriston.darkroom.com I'm opening up the print shop for purchases. 100% of sales go to CASA de Maryland to support their work organizing and defending immigrant communities. Your purchase helps provide a legal safety net against ICE overreach in Baltimore and the state of Maryland. (1/2)

RE: the video shared by the protestor in a pink coat. It looks like ICE does pull a gun from the victim's waistband. The first--and only--shots come from ICE. This is an execution.

I’m feeing skeptical of this image circulating from DHS claiming this gun was taken off the person shot by ICE agents this morning. It is a Sig Sauer P320 variant with red dot optic in desert tan. ICE has issued the P320 as its standard sidearm for years. www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_A...

The video going around of the shooting in MN today is appalling. Multiple agents have a person on the ground, beating and restraining them. Then a federal officer just pulls a gun and opens fire with multiple observers and fellow officers in the line of fire.

Baltimore, we need to be prepared for the coming weeks. This is exactly what they did before MN: get their media in our city to spin talking points about a city in chaos and how only removing violent immigrants can fix the problem. They’re building a permission structure for accepting ops in Bmore.

Conservative influencers Ben Bergquam, Josh Fulfer, and Nick Shirley were spotted in Charm City this week confronting residents at a public library and a local church. Community groups are warning residents to avoid engagement as local tensions rise over immigration enforcement.

Heads up for those in #ColumbiaMD. I’m seeing reports that there’s been ICE presence in #Jessup today, near 175 and Rt. 1. Not sure the extent of the activity, but the pic shows 5 officers. Haven’t verified this yet, but better safe than sorry. If you know any info, please reach out to me.

Friends, no one is safe anywhere. This is a disgusting story. Absolutely revolting to read. Would be wonderful if @thebaltimorebanner.com or @baltimorebrew.bsky.social reached out to local Baltimore hospitals and asked what their policies are to prevent something like this happening here...

Heads up to gov employees: Anonymity on Reddit is compromised. With nothing more than a mere please & thank you from DHS, Reddit turned over user data on a yet unknown number of accounts. That data is being used punitively at this time. Please be aware & make your necessary choices.

Fast cash. Dundalk, MD. 2026.

A file circulating on social media since Monday IDs a proposed 1,500-bed immigration detention facility in Hagerstown as part of a 15-site national network that would allow authorities to hold more than 85,000 people simultaneously—the largest expansion of detention infrastructure in U.S. history.

I think everything that has ever needed to be written about photography was written in 1891. Everything beyond that has been so much gilding of lilies. The manual for the Kodak 4F 4x5 camera is representative of the sort of ne plus ultra whereupon all other photographic writing ought to have ceased.

I have learned that this photo I took in a bout of dreadful existential midnight wandering in January 2011, in Seaside, CA, and which I never saw illuminated in this way again, has had a whole underground life as bootleg single art for the Juice WRLD leak 'Hell's Kitchen.'
