"DHS, flush with funds and new hires, is now Trump’s primary tool against dissent, with a powerful array of post-9/11 investigative authorities brought to bear against everyday Americans organizing...

For several days I have been hearing rumors of an ICE detainee death that ICE was not reporting. I've just learned a local journalist has confirmed it and will publish soon. Now I read this and see there are actually TWO deaths ICE is not reporting. www.daylightsandiego.org/ice-detainee...
Alex Pretti's father delivered a message to U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Dan Rosen and Attorney General Todd Blanche:
“Look in your heart and do what is right, share the evidence now so prosecutors can follow the facts and hold these men accountable. Do your job and stop shielding Alex’s killers.”
Related: A joint venture between SK2 and Rudiarius LLC — two firms associated with ICE's infamous warehouse scheme — was recently awarded $655 million to build new detention infrastructure at Gitmo, among other things. The work also includes secure holding cells in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
In a phone call from Mogadishu, one of the Somalis who was sent to Guantanamo Bay before deportation said the ICE agents guarding the prison told him they would bring all of the Somalis they arrest to Gitmo.
In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay.
“Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

Missouri's Amendment 3 would restore an abortion ban with limited exceptions, but its ads focus on a different provision: banning gender transition care for minors.
The campaign website never explicitly states it would repeal the constitutional right to abortion voters approved 2 years ago.
Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...
It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.
NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program.
Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town.

Feels important to share with Bluesky that Dude Wipes, the Houston Dynamo's 'Official Back of Jersey Partner and Exclusive Disposable Wipes Partner,' has coined the bespoke tagline "Space City has Uranus covered" and splashes it across the pitchside advertising boards at Shell Energy Stadium
Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."
AIPAC-linked Empowering Black Americans PAC drops $778,000 on ads attacking Abdul El-Sayed on behalf of Mike Rogers.
The group has previously spent heavily in support of Rep. Wesley Bell and has also spent $10,000 attacking Rep. Rashida Tlaib.

EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.
SCOOP: I've obtained documents showing an ICE flight is scheduled to land Thursday or Friday in Equatorial Guinea -- where Ahmed Soliman is still imprisoned and seriously ill, despite a federal judge ordering his return to the US more two weeks ago. prospect.org/2026/10/21/i...
I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee).
But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.
Under previous admins, a green card holder reentering the US who had a flag for a possible fraud issue re: an arrest which occurred TWO DECADES in the past would have, in most cases, been released with a Notice to Appear.
But the Trump admin mandates detention. So a man is dead.
ICE arrested a 56-year old green card holder, i.e. a lawful permanent resident, and detained him in the Rio Grande Processing Center, where he died. www.texastribune.org/2026/10/19/t...
My brain cannot process this level of corruption.
She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee."
And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money.

Today we launch the first episode of my podcast.
I interviewed Whitney Mitchell, whose fiancé and caretaker Garrett Foster was murdered at a BLM protest in 2020.
Foster's killer was convicted by a jury and given a 25-year sentence.
Then Texas Gov. Greg Abbott pardoned him.
Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.
We’re back with our second story about how Trump’s purge of the FBI killed a sweeping bribery probe in D.C.
This time, we take you to South Carolina, where two powerful politicians escaped scrutiny:
Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. James Clyburn.

ICE goons in Long Beach intentionally hit U.S. citizen Ricardo Gonzalez with an unmarked vehicle as he rode his bike, tased him twice and then broke his arm while they pinned him face down in the gutter.
Lawless fascist thugs.
A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.
Part of the answer to "how did we get here?" is that many major journalists—since 1998, Crawford has covered SCOTUS for PBS, ABC, and CBS—are lying bigots. Here Crawford is praising a guy who asked a dumb racist question, glitched out when asked why, then admitted he wanted a Christian theocracy.
We live in a white supremacist country run by white supremacist fascists. This is inexcusable. It's everyone's job to fight this bullshit the rest of our lives.
