After a closer look at the IG report, here are the clues I found indicating an "Alligator Alcatraz" cover-up. FWIW, I don't think the DHS OIG was in the conspiracy, I think they were in way over their heads. prospect.org/2026/09/17/a...
Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.

Ahmed Soliman has been missing for a week.
Ahmed Soliman has been missing for six days. ICE says it is “not responsible” for this, even though they forcibly expelled him to an authoritarian country he’d never even been to. Please take the time today to follow this link to contact your lawmakers, especially Arizonans! findahmedsoliman.org

Ahmed Soliman has been missing for four days. His attorneys have shared this site with me with instructions on how you can help him be found. Strongly encourage everyone to do this. findahmedsoliman.org

I cannot stress enough how bad the situation is for the people ICE expelled to Equatorial Guinea right now. Grateful to Ahmed Soliman for talking with me despite the retaliation against him every time he goes on the record. prospect.org/2026/09/09/s...

This free documentary is a MUST SEE. Shuffling people around the US, away from their attorneys and family, away from their Habeas Corpus filings, on a merry-go-round of extremely expensive tax-payer funded charter flights, is a key part of the ICE death machine and hardly anyone is talking about it.

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.
Turns out that when every Somali case I have in court suddenly got expedited and reassigned to a new judge, it wasn't just me! The DOJ has officially denied that there is an expedited "Somali Docket," but now the public data refutes their denial. Here are the highlights: 🧵 bklg.org/blog/somali-...

This is rather blatant. (And yes, I went to the @the-independent.com website and checked that the MN50501 referral link is indeed there.) I have real difficulty coming up with a scenario in which this kind of oops-not-my-referral is not the result of unethical action by @arianabaio.bsky.social
This @the-independent.com story is such an obvious lift of mine that they didn’t even bother deleting my site’s referral URL. And no, they do not credit me for reporting it first or (intentionally) link to my story. In j-school, rewording someone else’s reporting was called plagiarism. 1/

Child detentions and mass arrests are just the tip of the iceberg. This playbook shows you how to challenge the status quo.
1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first. 2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts. 3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger. 4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover. 5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)
"MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident" who had been observing federal agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Replying to @gillianbrockell.com
Victor Manuel Diaz, 36, lived in Minneapolis. He was captured on Jan. 6 and flown to Camp East Montana, where the ACLU has reported widespread torture, and where a man died after being beaten by ICE guards three days earlier. He now becomes the sixth person to die in ICE custody in 2026.

Breaking news: An employee of El Paso County’s Office of the Medical Examiner said it is likely to classify the death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at an ICE detention center as a homicide. A detainee says he witnessed Campos being choked to death by guards.

This is awful, and it happens on every single ICE flight, more than 40 a day. There have been multiple emergency evacuations of ICE flights. One took SEVEN MINUTES, they are supposed to take 90 seconds. An Avelo ICE plane did an emergency landing after depressurization in Nov.; 5 people injured.
Released detainees at our shelter say they were flown on ICE Air while shackled at the hands, waist, and ankles. They listened to the flight attendants safety briefing in disbelief-how could they evacuate, open exits, or put on oxygen masks while restrained? One said, ‘Anything happens, we’re dead.’

@jjindc.bsky.social So what do you suppose will happen with the ICE Venezuelan deportation flights?

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

It was physically impossible for that boat to reach anywhere close to the United States, even before it was a flaming upside-down wreck, and Tom Cotton knows that. He's not that stupid, he just thinks everyone else is. This kind of dishonesty is inseparable from egotistical arrogance.
Q: What did you see in the second strike? Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."
