"Federal records obtained by WIRED show that over the past several months, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have carried out a secret campaign to expand ICE’s physical presence across the US."

"Documents show that more than 150 leases and office expansions have or would place new facilities in nearly every state, many of them in or just outside of the country’s largest metropolitan areas."

"ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight."

"Plans are underway to double the detention capacity of the Trump administration’s federal police force by converting massive, industrial warehouses unsuitable for people to live in into detention centers."

"As I wrote, if you think a massive US gulag is being built just for illegal immigrants, along with a federal paramilitary force as large as the Marines, you're a fool. Billions in unaccountable cash from Venezuelan oil, shock troops, and detention camps. This is not a drill."

"Courts across the country have overwhelmingly rejected the Trump administration’s effort to round up thousands of immigrants and lock them up without a chance for bond — even if they have no criminal records and have lived in the United States for years."

"But the Trump administration has slow-walked or outright defied judges’ orders demanding the release of people scooped up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at an increasingly rapid clip."

"Members of Congress, no matter their political affiliation, must recognize a constitutional duty to remove this gangster [Noem] from the position of public trust that she has so flagrantly abused. The will of the people is already clear. Trump and Noem thought they could intimidate the public into quiescence."

"But tens of thousands of Americans have filled the streets of Minneapolis and cities across the country to demand the abolition of ICE because they have chosen to believe their own eyes, as opposed to Noem’s lies.

The arguments against Noem are now so stark that even senior Republicans are making the case for her removal, with North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis" (continued)

"raging against 'the incompetence of the leader of the [Department of] Homeland Security,” adding, “She doesn’t know how to lead, how to de-escalate. She’s exposing ICE officers to dangerous situations; she’s exposing US citizens to deadly situations.'”

"A CATO Institute study last month found that 2025 — in theory a wildly dangerous year, according to Kristi Noem and other administration officials, when threats and assault against agents and officers leapt by insane astronomical figures, like 413 percent, 1150 percent, or even 8000 percent!!!! — was actually the second-safest year ever for ICE officers and Border Patrol agents."

"In fact, CATO calculated, 'The chance of an ICE or Border Patrol agent being murdered in the line of duty is about one in 94,549 per year, about 5.5 times less likely than a civilian being murdered. We should be much less concerned about their safety.' ...

It should go without saying that if you can’t police in a free society without hiding your face, the problem is with the policing — not the public."

"Indeed, in almost every video we see of ICE and CBP deploying force — including especially the fatal shootings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti — the immigrant agents are the ones who initiate the violence, swarming Good’s car or approaching, shoving, pepper-spraying, and beating Pretti in the street."

"The Trump administration’s immigration courts suddenly began fast-tracking dozens of cases by Somalis seeking asylum in what their lawyers fear is a coordinated effort to deny them asylum and deport them without due process, NPR reports."

"The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals allowed President Trump to proceed with ending deportation protections for more than 60,000 migrants from Nepal, Honduras and Nicaragua, when it stayed a lower court ruling that had blocked the deportations."

"Most Americans disapprove of the Trump regime’s lawless terrorizing of American cities under the guise of immigration enforcement, but you wouldn’t know that from reading two recent New York Times articles that center the views of Republicans rather than all Americans and falsely suggest reform proposals are unpopular."

"The New York Times saw those two polls [Ipsos and Pew] and decided the key thing it wanted its readers to know was 'Polls Shows Strong G.O.P. Support for Trump on Immigration.'

I’m sure knee-jerk Times defenders will reject this critique, arguing (tautologically) that the Times article wasn’t about public opinion broadly but rather about Trump’s support among Republicans."
