If you’re listening to @npr.org tonight, you may hear my voice — as part of this story I’ve been working on for a bit. www.npr.org/2025/12/24/n...

“If the truth of the operation does not match the narrative of the ‘worst of the worst,’ it’s going to be killed," said a DHS official.

Merry Christmas, taxpayers.

"In November, ICE launched a process to get private sector 'skip tracing' services, where corporate investigators use digital snooping tools and on-the-ground surveillance to track immigrants in exchange for monetary bonuses," Sam Biddle writes. 1/2

As a short man I need all of you to spare a thought for people like us next time you want to make insensitive jokes about Greg Bovinos height, we have years worth of material right here that'll really hurt his feelings

This Christmas, a record number of immigrant families will spend the holiday mourning the absence of a loved one caught up in the administration's campaign of mass deportation.

The WaPo piece above builds on this reporting by @schwellenbach.bsky.social and @dfriedman.bsky.social, who are doing fantastic work covering the corruption going on at DHS.

In addition to owning Salus Worldwide Solutions, pro-Trump donor William Walters leads Daedalus Aviation,which received a $140 million DHS contract to purchase six Boeing 737 planes to use for deportations.

maybe I’m being too optimistic given, well, everything but I just don’t think this guy running an explicit white nationalist campaign is going to have anywhere near the juice his boss does he is a repellent man with a repellent message and people are tired of it all

it's odd to see the people who can accurately assess Bari Weiss isn't a good journalist and failed upward into her role as chief brunchlord, but can't take the additional leap to realize this is part of an active plot by extraction class media ownership to actively destroy journalism and consensus

The 13 companies ICE has tapped to help track down immigrants. About half of these have no federal contracting experience.

Mercenaries tracking immigrants. Every day a new level of hell unlocks.

In the Netherlands, burnout is a legally recognized reason for sick leave, and workers are entitled to at least 70% of their salary for up to 104 weeks of illness.

The media is freaking out over a new Rasmussen poll that found: “… 51% of Likely U.S. Voters ages 18 to 39 would like to see a democratic socialist candidate win the 2028 presidential election."

The damage the anti-immigrant agenda is doing to the safety of our communities will reverberate for years.

Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare says "that ICE raids have affected nearly a dozen criminal cases his office was pursuing, including sexual assaults of children, because victims and witnesses were either deported or refused to participate in trials because they were undocumented."

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”

ICYMI — thousands protested ICE in MINNEAPOLIS…

Police in Many “Sanctuary Cities” Have Repeatedly Collaborated With ICE Police face allegations of violating laws meant to protect immigrants from DC to Oregon to Colorado and beyond. truthout.org/articles/pol...

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

4 immigrants die in 4 days in ICE private prisons

It appears baby Jesus was stolen from the Chicago-area Nativity scene that's critical of ICE. The church has added a new sign that reads: "Where are Mary, Joseph, and Jesus? We don't know: They are being detained in a labyrinthian hellscape where their loves ones are unable to locate them."

Hopefully this hero can quickly get back to work towing illegally parked ICE vehicles. www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

now seems like a good time to remind you all to support independent, worker run, billionaire free, and/or reader funded news how and where you can.

Pretty sure I've *never* had to apologize for being white, but then again I can't recall doing anything that drew attention to that other than occasionally clapping on the 1 and 3.

First responders love this kind of thing

"People in ICE custody die from delayed and denied outside medical care. Perhaps billionaires will be incentivized to change that? Or maybe not," writes Andrew Free.

Abuelita chocolate, La Lechera and Nescafé are all authentic staple products in many Latino kitchens. But how authentic are they? A trademark dispute filed back in 2020 between Nestlé USA and two other Latino distributors placed its authenticity on the table.

"[T]he federal government ... relies heavily on state and local collaboration to enact its mass deportation agenda. The Trump admin[] is therefore vulnerable to state and local policy action that goes beyond merely limiting sheriffs and police from deputizing officers to work as immigration agents."

A tow truck driver who towed an ICE SUV that was blocking a driveway while the agents kidnapped Angelanos back in September was just found NOT GUILTY on the only charge against him (theft of government property). THAT'S ANOTHER WIN FOR "FUCK YOU; MAKE ME"

The contrast between ordinary citizens courageously confronting Trumpist bullying, and billionaires and CEOs obsequiously bending the knee– this spectacle in its clear simplicity provides a lesson we should not forget.

Miller is Jewish, Vance's kids are biracial, and every other ICE officer has at least a helluva tan. These guys all seem to think they're going to unleash just the "right" amount of bigotry to use for their own aims. The hubris would almost be funny, if it weren't so dangerous.

It’s funny: haven’t been to church in yrs, don’t know what to make of my relationship to religion, but somehow still know enough, & still identify enough as Christian, even if just culturally, to find this shit so deeply, personally, viscerally offensive to the teachings of the faith I grew up with

WAPO: Four people in immigration detention have died over a four-day period this month, increasing concern among advocates and some members of Congress over detention conditions. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

this ongoing situation (ICE's medical claims processor still isn't accepting new claims) is impacting people's care. What *is* clear is that DHS itself—in an extremely unusual admission—said the lives, health, and welfare of people in detention were at risk.

I've been a broken record on this story, and have reached out to I-don't-know-how-many people to try to flag it. Fortunately, Judd Legum responded and dug in to figure out out why these services were abruptly terminated, but I haven't seen any other outlets pick it up and it's unclear if and how...

“Four detainee deaths in one week is a red-hot crisis,” said Eunice Cho, senior counsel at the @aclu.org National Prison Project. “There is no question in my mind that this represents a clear deterioration of medical care and the worsening conditions in ICE detention.”
