new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

And here is my story: ‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

“Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, 19, was detained … on Nov. 20 when she tried to board a flight to surprise her family in Texas [for Thanksgiving]. She was sent to Honduras two days later despite a court order prohibiting the government from moving her out of #Massachusetts or the United States.”

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

“I can’t look at them smiling and lying to us while they hold us all for ransom,” @lorennacleary.bsky.social of West Virginia, 54, said of the Republicans. “It really is like that—like they kidnapped us until they get their payout.”

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

New Yorkers: please vote!!!! Cuomo went all-in on racism in the final 2 weeks because he's got nothing else. And as we've seen, that's a very effective motivator.

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

“As the weeks tick by, Ihsanullah Garay’s health is deteriorating inside [an ICE] detention cell. The 38-year-old asylum seeker and Afghan national has been battling stage II brain cancer, according to his cousin and lawyer, and was detained last month in eastern #Massachusetts.” #AbolishICE

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

On scene on 40th and Kedzie in Chicago, where locals are facing down militarized federal agents over a possible federal immigration enforcement- related shooting. Details still scarce and developing. Locals chanting "ICE go home"

Adults and children alike were pulled from their Chicago apartments, crying and screaming, during a large overnight raid that has left tenants and neighbors shaken. https://cnn.it/4pPCXIt

Chicago, Illinois, 2025: "They had the Black people in one van, and the immigrants in another van." "They was bringing the kids down, had them zip-tied to each other." "I kept asking, 'What is the morality?' One of them laughed. He said, 'Fuck them kids.'" abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

You can't raid and arrest everyone in an entire apartment building, or even legitimately get a warrant to do that, any more than you could for a whole neighborhood. That would be a general warrant. This is the most specific core the-British-did-it-to-us thing the Fourth Amendment is written to ban.

Arkansas police pulled over an Indian GrubHub driver wh ois married to a U.S. citizen. They found a bottle of Opium-brand perfume, arrested him for narcotics possession, and turned him over to ICE, where he was held for 30 days. He has now been stripped of his immigration status.

“The MAGA vision of the military class as amoral warriors dedicated to PT and demanding “respect” makes sense if MAGA views its principle strategic rivals not as foreign autocrats, but as American citizens who might try to displace MAGA from the seat of power.” www.thebulwark.com/p/the-depart...

“without a stated reason” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Legacy media and cable news reduced Trump's aggression against Chicago to a question of whether troops would be sent immediately. When he said he was taking his fascist military spectacle elsewhere, those media players declared the situation over—while waves of federal agents attack our neighbors.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

What I'm looking for in the 2028 primary is someone who will put Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem in jail, and so far, that's Pritzker

The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts. Those entrusted to enforce our Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.

Solzhenitsyn wrote repeatedly about the use of mosquito torture in early Soviet concentration camp detention on the Solovetsky Islands. If you use the same nasty ingredients, you're going to bake the same cake.

A doctor was on trial for selling fraudulent COVID19 vaccination cards to people so that they could avoid vaccination. Bondi dismissed the charges, saying, “Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so. He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing”.

The important thing to understand about the current state of affairs is that Andreessen hired a partner at the most influential VC firm in the tech industry solely on the basis that the man strangled a Black man to death in my neighborhood.

The position of ICE/DHS is that there is no law they have to obey, you cannot see their names or faces, you cannot tell anyone where they are or record them, and they can detain anyone indefinitely regardless of citizenship status. This is completely incompatible with a remotely free society

Lavonnia Moore, the librarian fired for including one of my books on a display after a child requested it, sounds incredible and what happened to her should be a crime. roughdraftatlanta.com/2025/07/05/l...

I spent time reporting on migrant detention facilities in Europe in the 2010s. There is no way for any camp like Alligator Alcatraz to ever be "humane." They always devolve into human misery. www.garbageday.email/p/trump-s-bi...

Alligator Alcatraz: The concentration camp reimagined as a hype house. A place to make content, both real and AI-generated, that glorifies the power of the state. Content that desensitizes you and normalizes state violence and, crucially, turns it into a meme. www.garbageday.email/p/trump-s-bi...

I’m starting to think that some of the people saying “stop antisemitism” mean it with the same inflection as: “Stop…Hammer Time!” Like, take a little break from what you’re doing and enjoy some antisemitism.

BREAKING: The California Department of Education just received word that billions of dollars appropriated by Congress for the coming school year are being illegally impounded by the Trump Administration. Follow for continued updates.

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.
