Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

tl;dr: more people should watch this gentleman's speech and think seriously about what he is saying bsky.app/profile/slcl...

WOW. 19 people, all who were imprisoned and mistreated in a foreign prison at the direct command of the United States, are brave enough to say “We are innocent, and we will endure more time imprisoned to prove that.” I can only admire the enormous courage such a move takes.

Very very glad he's there. But I want to remind people that Dilley operated as a family detention center from late 2014 when it opened under Obama through 2021 when the Biden admin ended family detention by shifting it to single adult detention. Trump has made it worse, but it started very bad.

This is a reminder that ICE is still in Minnesota, that people still can’t leave their homes, and that funds are starting to run dry. Please donate if you can. Places like food shelves are struggling to meet the community’s needs.

plsss my dad called my grandma back after the benito show…apparently she was super worried bc she called all my aunts and uncles DURING the show and not one picked up, my dad included 💀 she was like I thought you guys lost power with the storm 😭

yall. turning the BIA into MORE of a DHS rubber stamp is one thing but making the DEFAULT dismissals? reducing the time to appeal a case to 10 days??? filing the notice of appeal costs like $1000! that’s not even taking into account what a private lawyer charges!! what the fuck

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes, in DC, issues a stay of DHS Sec. Noem’s decision to end Haiti’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation, a decision that was to go into effect on Tuesday and could have ended legal status for up to 350,000 people overnight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

BREAKING: Federal judge orders Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R., released. "The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED." "Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."

This is unconscionable. Evil. But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president. So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.

"Return CBP to the border" Now that you have seen what CBP does, why is it okay to have them on the US-Mexico or US-Canada border? Some people say they want "a controlled border" but at what cost to life?

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

Looks like Senator Blumenthal's office worked with the whistleblowers, and has already put out a letter to the Trump admin demanding answers. Congress MUST act. This is a five alarm fire for our basic rights under the law. bsky.app/profile/blum...

And I fucking hate the caveats especially "NO CRIMINAL RECORD." People who have criminal records ALSO deserve dignity. OK.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

BREAKING: New Jersey is leading the way. While the Trump administration creates chaos & fear to further advance their cruel mass deportation agenda, our state has just PASSED three critical bills to protect our immigrant neighbors. We choose safety. We choose dignity. We choose welcome. #NJforall

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

Protest sign on Route 4 in Paramus, New Jersey reads “ICE murders woman in MN”

we’re up another mispelling of my name when i’m quoted in things which frankly, i’m not that pressed about bc having name out there……..phew.

let's go 👏

The demonization of Somalis is no different than the demonization of Haitians before the election. It's a political attack and has to be actively fought—not through half-measures or expressions of tepid concern but by demanding decency from society and respect for all of humanity.

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

NEW! Our incredible legal team at @immcouncil.org just secured a victory in federal court, reinforcing a ruling blocking blocking ICE from taking unaccompanied children into ICE detention on their 18th birthday, and re-detaining previously-released teenagers. Proud to work with such awesome lawyers!

There is a network of court watchers who support immigrants at the ICE courts in Manhattan. They have learned the movements and "personas" of the masked agents. One told me: "Some of them are very sadistic." talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/new-...

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from immigration detention after a federal judge's order Thursday, his attorney's office says.

The Trump admin is systematically firing immigration judges across the country for no reason other their above average grant rates. The goal is to transform an imperfect system which aimed for fairness into a rubber stamp mill, leaving only the “deportation judges” they want.

I think it is very fair to ask, and expect, the league and its teams not to fly with these carriers. You have sth who could not go to games this season because of the fear of deportation. Show an ounce of solidarity, I beg.

Thousands and thousands of people are in this situation; giving up their cases and accepting deportation because they can't bear being in jail any longer. In many ways, that is a major point of detention.

Just saw this today. This is a transparent attempt to KILL DUE PROCESS by lying about the job of immigration judge and stacking the deck through hiring only bloodthirsty lawyers who want to deport people. This comes after they pushed out over 100 judges deemed too likely to grant relief.

A bounty? Very slave catcher of them. This league is gonna have to take a stand at some point. There's no "both sides" to this. At some point, racism and transphobia have to be a deal breaker.

They pulled up this interlocutory appeal within about a month of USCIS announcing the end of deferred action for SIJS. Seems like a multi-agency coordinated attack on children who been found to have been abused, abandoned, and neglected. www.uscis.gov/sites/defaul...

In Bovino's upside down world, there is no difference between an armed gang member preying on others in his community and a guy working 12 hours a day washing cars, flipping burgers, or installing sheetrock to feed his family — and he wants you to hate and fear both men equally.

Appreciate your boosting/sharing of this episode in particular. Action items at the end include a petition for Leqaa

“The dreams we’ve dreamt together become the agenda we deliver together. New York, this power, it’s yours. This city belongs to you,” Mayor-elect Mamdani says closing his victory speech. “Thank you.”

Now comes the even harder work. But for tonight, let's celebrate.

great example and argument for how damaging Jeffries and Schumer have been as leaders

If you travel around your city using public transit, why not print out copies of Megan's "How to Report ICE" in your city and hand those out? It's a simple way to inform people. drive.google.com/drive/folder... - I distributed some to folks on the bus today and they were all grateful to receive them
