PBS News Hour: U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents describe how they were treated. Watch the segment here www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMgC... I'm clipping transcripts of the citizens speaking in this thread 1/3

Among 18-29 Year Old Men - Trump Approval Polling: Disapprove: 66% Approve: 32% HIT Strategies / Dec 2025 - (Released Recently)

The US DOD has just blacklisted military personnel from taking courses at most of America's top universities and specialist tech and medicine schools, including Harvard, Yale, MIT and Johns Hopkins. Somehow I don't see the PLA making this kind of unforced error.

Quite the chart

WOW. Incredible. This is the case in which DHS claimed that ICE officers had been attacked with a shovel and fired back in self-defense. Evidence since suggests an ICE officer fired through a closed door and struck someone on the other side. Will DHS retract the prior claims?

there's fierce competition, but this is one of the most stomach-turning things I've read in some time

BREAKING: The Trump administraiton has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight. The judge: Trump appointeee Nancy Brasel storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Will Fox be updating their story on this and giving it the same amount of airtime as they did initial arrest?

BREAKING Judge Boasberg ORDERS the Trump admin to facilitate the return of the more than 100 men spirited out of the country last year without notice or a hearing. Plaintiffs may also submit habeas petitions from abroad, he says. Doc buff.ly/rccakD7

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

Massie: "Here is an email that was sent by the victims' lawyers to the DOJ. It was a list of names not to release. What did the DOJ do with this email? They released it! Literally the worst thing you could do the survivors you did."

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

I spoke to another woman who lost her Global Entry status after a confrontation with CBP.

[frantically raising hand] ooh, ooh. I know. Because Americans have a constitutional right to vote but don't have a right to open a bank account or drive a car.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

ICE’s pending $30 billion budget exceeds the military spending of nearly every country, including Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and Iran. ICE + CBP funding for 2026 would total $66 billion, higher than all but 7 militaries worldwide.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in: - Hagerstown, MD: $102 million - Surprise, AZ: $70 million - Hamburg, PA: $87 million - Tremont, PA: $120 million - San Antonio, TX: $82 million - El Paso, TX: $123 million - Social Circle, GA: price unknown This is unprecedented.

And here is my story: ‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

In Boston ICE randomly pulled over this huge white Irish guy with a Mass drivers license, 20 years in the states, legal status, pending green card and have held him for 5 months, his citizen wife paid a $4k bond that was ignored(!) ICE forged his signature on deportation agreement, no appeal

Unidos somos América.

Epic. A Ukrainian Air Force F-16 takes out a Russian-Iranian Shahed-136 at a close distance. The witnesses are extremely happy and supportive 😀

Hmong are a persecuted minority in every state in Southeast Asia they live in. The opportunity to come live in peace in Minnesota was a reward from the United States government for meritorious service at immense personal cost. Now, that same government is arresting them on the streets for nothing.

oh dear. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past. It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

Jon Stewart: America's real "sanctuary city" is the one protecting elites from any accountability

in order to save this country we are probably going to have to do things that make rich men sad 😔

That's good, like really good for support of protests. Civil rights protests were in the negative.

Defense attorney provides photos to show that a DHS agent shot through the front door of a Venezuelan man’s home, and a bullet “traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep.” www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Senator Dick Durbin just voted for a Trump nominee. Why, @durbin.senate.gov??

Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

ICE turning peaceful neighborhoods into war zones

From @jonseidel.bsky.social's interview with Marimar Martinez, the Chicago woman who survived being shot by CBP officer Charles Exum. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

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.

Republicans mightily struggling in New York in a new Siena poll. Kathy Hochul leads GOP opponent Bruce Blakeman 54% to 28%. (She won by 6% in 2022.) Democrats have a 56/29 lead in the generic congressional ballot. (Result was 57/43 in 2024). Trump approval is 33/63. sri.siena.edu/2026/02/03/h...

BREAKING: 8 more U.S. Attorneys in MN resign from Trump’s DOJ in protest as backlash grows. This isn’t normal; isn’t routine reshuffling. It’s a rebellion. Last month, 6 veteran prosecutors quit in protest. Normal staffing for the MN DOJ’s office is around 50 attorneys. They’re down to just 9.

Pirro: "You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you're going to jail. I don't care if you have a license in another district and I don't care if you're a law abiding law owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail. And that makes all the difference"

Trump says Republicans should ‘nationalize’ elections

Columbia Heights (Liam's school district) cancelled school today because of a credible bomb threat at Liam's elementary and multiple ICE vehicles parking in the high school staff parking lot at 6:15am.

The "violent criminal illegal alien" that agents were pursuing when they killed Alex Pretti has been in the U.S. for two decades. He had a single misdemeanor conviction for disorderly conduct (domestic assault) eight years ago that was expunged from his record. He did not have a deportation order.

It's not fake according to the University of Illinois student newspaper, but it's gone from the Instagram page now. I wish people would source their images - we need to do this more now than ever in a world where anyone can post AI generated propaganda in seconds dailyillini.com/news-stories...

"Four hours after his arrest, he was taken to a hospital emergency room in Edina with swelling and bruising around his right eye and bleeding. A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain..." apnews.com/article/immi...
