These federal buildings have cells designed to hold a few people for a brief period; like a holding cell at a police station. Supposed to be 12 hours max, usually less. People are being held in them for 7-10 days, jammed in like sardines. It’s a nightmare.

“They’re basically torturing people into signing off on their own deportation,” said one attorney. Superb, deeply reported story, via @charpentier.bsky.social

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

This piece is so so good. Urge everyone to read it. www.theargumentmag.com/p/the-real-r...

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever. Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

BREAKING: The Department of Justice left multiple unredacted photos of fully nude women or girls exposed as part of Friday’s dump of more than 3.5 million pages of files related to the investigations and prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell.

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance. They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along. They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

I am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one. It all boils down to this: WE HAVE A SAFE VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER.

ICE is still terrorizing Minnesota kids: "Two vehicles parked while running on Wilson and Coolidge. They watched a middle school / high school kid get on the bus. After several other observers came out and started following, they circled around the neighborhood several times until finally leaving."

The 50501 Movement is mobilizing for the ICE Out of Everywhere National Day of Action on January 31st. We are also organizing the No Housing for ICE boycott, the #dontserveice movement, and the Primary Pro-ICE Dems campaign.

If you didn’t call your senators already to demand a no on tomorrow’s funding vote, what’s stopping you from doing it today?

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month. Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Have a larger story on this coming, but I’ve been embedded with this group, and this story from yesterday is part of what they’ve been doing in the city: religionnews.com/2026/01/22/h...

Happy MLK Day!

In the last 18 days alone: - Two men in ICE custody have killed themselves (jails are supposed to protect against this) - Two men died of cardiac-related issues - One man was reportedly choked to death by a guard - One man died of fentanyl withdrawal (family question the medical care provided)

His 6 month old stopped breathing! HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING! A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside! His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

Please share this where relevant. Travel in or through Oklahoma is absolutely NOT SAFE whatsoever if you are not a white US citizen. checkpoints set up on interstates. Multiple reports that they're stopping everyone who isn't white. They have trained highway patrols to be ICE

So ~1 week after they killed Renee Good, ICE chased a man, shot and injured him reportedly through the door of a home, then blanketed a majority Black neighborhood in a tremendous amount of chemical weapons and flash grenades in the middle of the night. That's where we're at.

SCOOP: Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activities on the ground. Inside the app called ELITE—what ICE uses to find neighborhoods to raid.

More information from the guy whose car had smoke grenades and other stuff thrown in it. The baby's heart stopped and EMS was called to the scene. Yeah, ICE may have almost killed a 6 month old baby yesterday

If the figures we're getting out of Iran are in the right league, this weekend was, I think, one of the bloodiest state crackdowns of all time. People are talking 12,000-20,000 dead; for comparison Hungary in 1956 was about 2,500, Tiananmen - across country, in multiple cities - probably 1000+

I keep seeing people trying to draw delineations between ICE (bad) and Real Officers of the Law (good) and y'all, there may be some distinctions but every argument ICE is using to justify their murder and destruction came from Real Officers of the Law.

Journalists often go on hand-fed ride-alongs with agents. Seldom, though, do they get into the cars of everyday people protecting their communities from those same agents. We just did exactly that, in ICE-occupied Minneapolis:

Early 2025: Trump admin tries to illegally shut down the CFPB, the newest member of the Federal Reserve system. Jay Powell says nothing. Summer 2025: Trump admin tries to illegally fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook. Powell says nothing. 2026: Trump admin comes for Powell. He finally finds his voice.

Just so refreshing to see a big fish say “this is a pretext” straight into the camera.

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

After the Trump administration cut off food from the third-largest refugee camp in the world, thousands of families faced impossible choices as their children starved. By Brett Murphy and @annamaria.bsky.social, photos by @storitellah.com

Israeli forces raided a Palestinian wedding ceremony in occupied East Jerusalem, firing live ammunition and stun grenades at attendees. Several men, including the groom, were detained.

Fourth Palestinian baby freezes to death in Gaza since November https://aje.news/1ryphy

A displaced Palestinian girl was filmed gathering bread from the ground in a Gaza displacement camp after Israeli forces bombed the tents.

The move quashed a bipartisan bid to transfer 30 acres of the Everglades to the Miccosukee.

One woman said her father called in June to say he was going to be paroled after serving 20 years for car theft. Then in September, she got another call: He was instead being transferred to await deportation. It was the last time she heard from him. (Published Nov. 2025 with @veritenews.org)

A recent Israeli decision to bar Doctors Without Borders and other aid groups means international staff and aid can no longer enter Gaza or the West Bank. Local staff must rely on dwindling supplies and no international expertise. n.pr/49f75Xo

Officers who shatter car windows aren’t being disciplined — they’re being promoted. One officer who smashed a window in front of a local TV reporter got a senior ICE position overseeing operations on the East Coast. (Published July 2025)

Immigration agents have shot at least nine people since September. All of them have been in cars.

Wanda Sykes thanks Ricky Gervais for not being there because it means she can accept the award on his behalf... and he's gonna thank God and the trans community (he won, she did) #GoldenGlobes
