"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

I haven't even finished reading your thread but I wanted to jump in here and say THANKS for sharing all this important information. It must be depressing as hell to research and compose so much bad and/or stupid news so I applaud your fortitude.

"Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America"

You all have some work to do...

"But that’s exactly the problem. Centering Republicans in this way, while making only passing mention of the disapproval of the public at large, treats Republicans as the only people who matters. It obscures the broad opposition to the Trump regime, and thus props it up."

"A federal appeals court in Texas just handed immigration authorities the power to lock people up indefinitely. …

This is an extreme ruling by two extremist jurists, the most radical pair of judges on the Fifth Circuit, Edith H. Jones and Kyle Duncan. But it does not arrive in a vacuum."

"The decision adds a legal imprimatur on existing ICE detention centers—really, concentration camps—that routinely fail to provide basic human needs, adequate medical care or timely case resolution.

Once indefinite detention is stacked on top of this, the human misery and civil rights violations will skyrocket."

"Every choice to fund authoritarianism over care is a tax on our collective wellbeing and souls—a tax that buys nothing but cruelty, instability, and the slow dismantling of American values. We’re not just losing healthcare and research funding. We’re losing any pretensions of decency."

@IAmDannyBoling Thank you so much. Definitely depressing — but I keep plugging away at it, since it's one small thing I know I can contribute as a retired and aging educator who belives in continue to educate myself and call others to do that, too!

"If you somehow still aren’t convinced about the danger we are in right now, consider that on this date in 1936 — exactly 90 years ago — Nazi Germany passed a law investing the Gestapo secret police with absolute authority exempt from any legal review."

"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."
