The @ACLU has filed a class action damages suit against federal & state officers over an Idaho immigration raid last October. 200 armed officers raided a horse-race festival, detaining 400 Latinos for 4 hrs. All adults & many teens ziptied & searched. 1/8 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The reason why Dems are in the mess theyre in is bc they've tried to be Republican-lite since '88. Why get the diet version of fascism?

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

At the Historic Arcade in #CLE

The mainstream media has been trying to smear her. She is actually just following the laws already in the books. Now we get labeled a “radical leftist” for defending laws. The corporate media has poisoned the minds of millions of people to manufacture consent.

A lot of people talk about wanting Dems with the courage and anger to meet this moment, but Rep. @ramirez.house.gov is actually doing it. Read this 🔥 interview I did with her Friday:

The Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers union is calling for full legal status + no deportations. BCTGM Local 57, which organizes workers at Klosterman’s commercial bakery, issued a statement against arrest + deportation of Haitian immigrants. themilitant.com/2026/02/13/o...

Like a Charlie Brown adult. + 🛑 saying “sensitive locations”!!!! We don’t want ICE + Border Patrol abducting ppl at church, school, hospitals, stores. You enforce CIVIL laws in courtrooms + offices (+ civil agents don’t have guns). Just bc something has been done doesn’t mean it’s OK. ABOLISH ICE.

These deportation flights are literal torture. That’s not hyperbole.

"Federal officials from DHS were eyeing a Kansas City warehouse for one of their next detention facilities for immigrants. The company that owns the Missouri warehouse, Platform Ventures, announced on Thursday that it is not moving forward with the sale." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

So East Cleveland is getting on anti-ICE train. 1st thing they need to do is stop working w ICE. We've gotten reports of East Cleveland Police violently arresting people to hand them over to ICE periodically since last year. www.cleveland19.com/2026/02/12/e...

Yesterday, HIAS proudly joined dozens of Jewish organizations in Washington, D.C. to protest immigration enforcement tactics that have brutalized whole communities, and left immigrants and refugees in terror across the country.

A must-read.

This is the same as not feeding them at all. Would judges stand idly by while DHS locked children in a starvation oubliette and walked away? Well this is that; it's unconstitutional and if the only remedy is releasing all of them then it must be afforded.

Jeffrey Epstein’s emails show that then-Ohio State University Board of Trustees chairman Leslie Wexner was served in a Jane Doe lawsuit against the deceased sex trafficker in 2009. Donald Trump was also served in the lawsuit. Epstein later settled. Full story: www.rooster.info/p/ohio-state...

“This is the most disturbing arrest that we’ve had. He is a backgrounder for ICE, DHS. So when you’re getting your security clearance, this is one of the guys that does your backgrounds, which is kind of scary.” - Booker Hodgers, Bloomington PD chief. www.thedailybeast.com/ice-backgrou...

Guys, it's been a day since we updated our list of criminal ICE/Border Patrol agents w sexual + violent offenses vs women + children. We had to do it again bc MN's Brashad Johnson (DHS background checker) got arrested in a sex trafficking sting. ohioimmigrant.org/blog/2026/up...

Daniel Lajack plead guilty to attempted abduction in Hinckley hate crime. Will he be fired from Portage Co. Sheriff's Office?His co-conspirator, Donald Kopchak, is going to trial, where Lajack may have to testify. Kopchak is employed by Cleveland Police Department. landline.media/officer-plea...

2 men arrested by ME Border Patrol were released from OH jail, despite judge’s orders to return them to their homes. Paula Esteves said clients were released “in cold in OH, knowing no one." Of course Ohioans helped them, but USG has to do better. www.pressherald.com/2026/02/10/a...

[content warning - sexual violence] 🚩 🚩 🚩 Had to update our list of ICE + Border Patrol agents who committed sexual + violent crimes against women + children bc we found a new one. Meet Paul Casey Whipple, serving 50 years in federal prison for child sex crimes. www.justice.gov/usao-wdtx/pr...

Put in context with IJ decision in Rumeysa Ozturk. Admin lost DESPITE stacking deck against her + don’t want more “mistakes” (their POV). I’m confused about where her case sits, procedurally, but it’s extra-extraordinary that Trump IJ repudiated their claims. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Nine years ago today. Listening to people talk about having to sign Powers of Attorney and make custody arrangements for their kids — in case they are deported. Abjectly cruel. None of this is new. #AbolishICE

Here's what you need to know about the Bondi/Miller Board of Immigration Appeals power grab. ohioimmigrant.org/blog/2026/2/... TL;DR - it's stacking the deck against immigrants. AGAIN.

The President could stop these threats by getting his people under control. He chooses not to, and children have to live in fear. www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/bomb-th...

“Congress must stop giving ICE and the Border Patrol a blank check to commit crimes against the public...The public cannot trust law enforcement agencies that employ so many dangerous criminals." @lynntramonte.bsky.social newrepublic.com/post/205719/...

Ciji Graham’s is the seventh case ProPublica has investigated in which a pregnant woman died after she was unable to access standard care in a state that has significantly restricted abortion. Read her story: https://propub.li/4r4VQr4

"RESPECT OUR EXISTENCE OR EXPECT OUR RESISTANCE" Protesting ICE, kids walk out from J. Graham Brown School, a K-12 magnet school, and Manual High School, both in Louisville, Kentucky.

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.

Lynn Tramonte said appeal coming same day POTUS circulated video depicting Obamas as apes “simply reinforces the fact that this decision was purely based on racism + not any reasonable evaluation of whether Haiti can accept people back in their country.” www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/trump-a...

So Trump admin appeals Haiti TPS decision SAME DAY POTUS circulates a video of President + Michelle Obama as apes. Any pretense about terminating TPS for defensible reasons is out the window. SCOTUS cannot let RACISM drive national policy. TPS for Haiti must go on. www.dispatch.com/story/news/c...

I graduated summa cum laude in ENGLISH. I read, write + speak it at a better-than-MAGA level. (Crazy how many mix up "their" + "they're," or think we have a "boarder" w Mexico). I need to clear something up for Tricia McLaughlin, Moreno + Yost about Temporary Protected Status.
