Trump’s mass deportation as forever war. Unfortunately fitting analogy. The militarized War on Drugs is too. With all the problems that entails. Except terrorism and drugs are real dangers, and immigrants are not. In other words, the problem isn’t just ICE. It’s the growing ICE-industrial complex.

It's time to end for-profit private prisons. Corporations shouldn’t be incentivized and make billions of dollars off putting people behind bars. I’m leading the charge to end this broken and inhumane system.

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.

Watch this.

Louder for the people in the back, this was never about illegal immigration but about stopping legal nonwhite immigration

Minnesota still needs your attention

Mass deportation is not inherently more practical, feasible, or realistic than open borders, but the collective imagination in this country can picture one much more easily than the other. There is a politics to what we see as im/possible.
