How I feel about adding more analysis to the appendix. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I doubt it, but sounds like some mob shit.

My friend, @supajoe.bsky.social, has another work of art hot off the presses. Go pick up a copy.

“Si me matan, resucitaré en mi pueblo.”

Once again, the great state of New Mexico is taking the lead.

Amid heightened immigration enforcement in her Northeast LA neighborhood, Claudia Yanez launched a run club that patrols for ICE activity.

Damn. Moses Moody suffered a horrific injury in OT. #warriors

“The largest fraud in the history of the US immigration system.”

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

NEW and STUNNING: A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

Likely forces ICE to burn through its OBBB backstop faster, meanwhile every American about to go on spring break will see the face of MAGA is an out of shape drunk with a balaclava, machine gun, and unpaid child support who wants to paw through their bathing suits. Dems are winning this shutdown.

Death is about to have its first near-Chuck-Norris experience.

Jerome Powell confirmed today that the causes of inflation and net zero job growth are Trump’s immigration policy, Trump’s tariffs, and Trump’s war in Iran.

“There’s another young boy I met last time whose name is Liam Diaz...He reminded me of Liam Ramos, except no one knows this other boy—he’s just unknown & sitting there in this prison...I think if people had not seen Liam Ramos’s picture & the Spider-Man backpack, he could still be sitting there now”

Interesting article about the Trump admin and state Reps skirting the legislative process using the courts. It focuses on TX’s 2001 Dream Act, which allows undocumented students to pay in state college tuition, as a more recent example.

Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act. We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy. New from me at @brennancenter.org:

As Rep. Jayapal says, our reporting has found that these aren’t isolated incidents. Last October, we tallied more than 170 cases of U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents. Here’s that investigation she’s referring to:

Bribery, Trump Pardon, no problem. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yesterday, The Sheriffs, MPD and law enforcement brutally put down a peaceful anti-ICE protest outside of the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis. There has been little to no coverage of what is happening in Minneapolis since Trump's supposed stand down, which is why we need to spread the word.

Private Prison Falsified Records in Detainee’s Death in ICE Custody

NEW: SCOTUS rejects private prison company GEO Group's attempt at avoiding accountability. A long-delayed lawsuit challenging GEO Group's treatment of people in immigration detention can proceed again. A unanimous decision that matters — especially now. Tonight, at Law Dork:

We went out to visit California City Detention Center and found a whole new fleet of vehicles waiting in the lot. @lataco.bsky.social

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

The gift was delivered to the front door of Mar a Lago in a flaming paper bag.

Oh my goodness. Reeves.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Martinez’s death would mark the 1st shooting victim under DHS in 2025, and overall 5th under the Trump Administration alongside Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, Keith Porter, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti.

Goes to show that 3:6 justices did not read the plain language of the Constitution. Funny how they also claim to not be specialists in Eco/Foreign Affairs. But following Loper Bright, they can handle technical/scientific q’s better than civil servants with vast policy and institutional knowledge.

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.

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

The SAVE Act would make voting harder for millions of Americans. It’s based on the lie that noncitizens routinely vote in our elections — the truth is that noncitizen voting is already illegal and vanishingly rare. bit.ly/4qS8wBr

We can move capital if we go local, go big, and don't let up.

Texas doing its very best to double down on its own brain drain.

Every story is people who voted for the guy who said "I want to deport everyone" being shocked to learn that the guy whom they voted for wants to deport everyone. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Q: What’s the probability of being the swing voter in an election? A: The same as hitting a grand slam THRICE in a game!

Laker Nation needs to speak up. Abolish ICE.

In a follow up post, he continued… “And the Dow is over 50K! I don’t know why you’re laughing.”

The company is facing a lawsuit from three detainees who allege guards beat and sexually assaulted them, then covered it up. Never forget who is profiting from this cruelty. https://prospect.org/2026/02/12/ice-immigration-prison-geo-group-trump/
