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.

Justice Sotomayor said it best: the conservative majority is “rewarding lawlessness.” Migrants are being deported—without notice or due process—to countries they’ve never even set foot in. This is what happens when the Court starts playing politics.

No Weapons of Mass Destruction were ever found. Instead, the Department of Homeland Security and ICE were formed in late 2002 and early 2003. See how this works?

Debunking the myth that ICE is here to keep anyone safe.

On this Juneteenth, remember that slavery ending means that for generations, slavery had been legal, the law of the land, even though it was immoral and unjust.

NO MORE $$$ FOR ICE. Attention needed on Trump’s “big beautiful bill” now up to Senate. www.axios.com/2025/06/16/i...

ICE is legitimately poised to become an unaccountable army of Trump loyalists with enormous scale and resources. The American brownshirts are coming. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/building-t...

More than 200 people remain locked in prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration, without any right to trial.

One of many places. A manufactured crisis. Needless suffering caused by bad policy.

We're living at a moment when ICE is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders for educating others about their constitutional rights. Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️

As of June 1, nearly 25% of the people arrested by ICE in the interior and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD. Data from the last six years, including 1.5 years of Trump's first term, reveals how this is completely unprecedented. It also helps explain the growing backlash.

Contrary to claims made by its proponents, the mass deportations' components of the Big Beautiful Bill will not improve its CBO score. Indeed, it will make it much worse. Accounting for lost net revenue from immigrants adds nearly $1 trillion in additional cost.

Get the latest data here on ICE's nationwide immigration enforcement blitz. 📊 Total people detained is at its highest levels in over 5 years.

Been saying this for weeks. In order to build a mass deportation machine to round up and deport 4% of the entire goddamn population, you must first build the police state.

Some thoughts about the ICE detention stats released yesterday. For the first time since Sept. 2019, ICE is detaining more than 50,000 people. www.ice.gov/detain/deten...
