"ICE is grabbing people from the streets who aren't even undocumented or don't have criminal records at all" babe i don't think there is a group of people ICE should be grabbing people off the streets in the first place

Eswatini says it received $5.1M from the U.S. to accept deportees under a quiet third-country deal. Only 15 men have been flown in, now held without charge as courts review the detentions. Even the finance minister says he wasn’t told. Read more: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Rare and terrifying, and really nice.

Congress gave ICE 💰$75 billion 💰 through Trump’s megabill. Now we’re seeing the result: mass data collection, surveillance, + detention on an unprecedented scale. 🔗Read more here: www.axios.com/2025/10/21/i...

ICE deported the student later that month. www.chalkbeat.org/detroit/2025...

“No public criminal charges have been filed against anyone in connection with the raid … The @chicagotribune.com has been able to confirm the identity of only one immigrant taken into custody by federal agents that night: a 41-year-old pizza delivery man … who has no apparent criminal history.”

I visited the sites of three places in Chicago where ICE abducted people. Here’s what I found.

The US government is gang affiliated www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Deportation as double punishment for immigrants was never so clear as in this case of wrongful imprisonment + deportation. www.democracynow.org/2025/10/16/h...

While I love an occasional good essay that gives historical context, I just don’t think the people who got their knickers in a knot over Critical Race Theory ever knew what it was and getting them to know the exact definition of fascism isn’t the goal.

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance." www.foxnews.com/us/national-...

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

⚠️TW: death, miscarriage, neglect in detention This year has been the deadliest in ICE detention since 2018. Advocates are raising alarms about preventable deaths, rising suicide attempts, & lack of medical care. 🔗 Read the article here: www.themarshallproject.org/2025/09/27/i... (1/4)

ICE released updated detention statistics yesterday. 59,762 people are held in ICE detention facilities as of September 21, 2025. www.ice.gov/detain/deten...

Unless they’re in a boat? Unless they are driving their kids to school? Unless you’ve deported or extrajudicially rendered them to a place they’ve told you/the State Department has told you they will be assassinated?

New Immigration Enforcement Dashboard Makes ICE Arrest Data Accessible to More People New dashboard makes Deportation Data Project data accessible through interactive visualizations, bridging the gap between complex datasets and public understanding. austinkocher.substack.com/p/new-immigr...

The administration that disrespects POC, particularly over-qualified Black women, as “DEI hires” and “low IQ” people, now prepares to “tap any attorney” as immigration judge because it’s too hard to meet the high standards that are in place. Who is breaking the immigration system?

The latest in mass deportation stupidity. Really going for Dumbest Shit Ever.

Here’s the tl;dr version of my last comic. Facial recognition surveillance is bad! Tell New Orleans City Council you don’t want it! Sign the petition at bit.ly/NotoOrd35125

Bro, they lifted the age requirements so Dean Cain could land work.

NEWS --> An internal Homeland Security memo suggests Trump's use of military for domestic enforcement is about to get worse. It details top-level talks between Defense Department and DHS on what this should look like. Experts say it's alarming. We obtained the memo: newrepublic.com/article/1987...

Found this old conversation I had with Dave Eggers on his book, The Every, big tech, surveillance, and what hope we have for humans. As relevant as ever. youtu.be/IikXopUH2XA?...

Flying from Mexico to US today, a trip I’ve done many times. First time, though, feeling the need to read-up on my rights… www.aclunc.org/our-work/kno...

This is the framework I needed today, to love, to get out of bed, to fight, to be in this moment. Brilliant, necessary.

Abolishing ICE is deeply connected to prison abolition. While public outrage over ppl with no criminal convictions being arrested is vital and good, going back to disappearing ppl with criminal convictions ignores the vast inequalities in our justice system.

ICE was created with a single law. Why do we need incremental steps to get rid of it?

With $170 billion, ICE can afford to be part profit-driven, part wealthy sadist.

I’ve been mostly on Instagram, here to read up on and repost ICE activity. Send me folks to follow.

ICE can't surge personnel to every region of the country all at once. This chart does a great job illustrating where ICE has concentrated their enforcement activity.

We’re in the era of building massive concentration camps in broad daylight, if you haven’t been acting up now’s the time.

Today:

“If we can block even one transfer, it’s all worth it.” A new hotline aims to help incarcerated people evade the ‘prison-to-ICE deportation pipeline,’ Tamar Sarai reports. Freedom for Immigrants launched a first-of-its-kind hotline in two CA women’s prisons. prismreports.org/2025/07/17/h...

This is reflux-inducing any time of day so I’ma share it right now

Secret police, from the dictionary: "a police force that functions as the enforcement arm of a government's political policies and whose activities, which often include surveillance, intimidation, and physical violence as a means of suppressing dissent, are usually concealed from the public."

Concentration Camp, from the dictionary: "a guarded compound for the mass detention without hearings or the imprisonment without trial of civilians, as refugees, members of ethnic minorities, political opponents, etc."

Today’s a good day to pull out this comic I made 8 years ago. It reminds me that 1) we have all seen some shit before 2) I’m a lot smarter, tougher, and healthier than when I made this piece. thenib.com/fear-is-a-gr...

“You do not know whether they will come for you, or your neighbor, or your friend, or your colleague, and if they come for any one of us, they come for all of us. We must nurture the outrage that fuels the resistance to what is going to happen.”

What ICE has done so far was just a pilot project open.substack.com/pub/behindth...

hi, folks! so, this is still a hideous bill for a ton of reasons, but it’s kinda vital to take small Ws when they come. i don’t think the gender-affirming care ban/sex definition shit would have come out without a ton of constituent pressure. if you called & wrote, it mattered. thank you. 🧵💜🏳️‍⚧️

House vote on budget bill 215-214. Senate just barely passed it 51-50 with Vance as the tiebreaker. I’m sorry for all of us for what they are unleashing. But also fuck these assholes. THE CLASS WAR IS ON.
