"Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin just repeatedly refused to commit to following court orders from judges who rule that DHS is acting illegally.
Mullin: would not vow to abide by rulings from judges."
"Prominent Republicans, including President Donald Trump, Speaker of the House Mike #Johnson and conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson, have echoed ideas associated with the great replacement theory. And conservative media outlets, such as Fox News, have disseminated them to millions of viewers." The Conversation yahoo.com/news/politics/articl… #TrumpRegime #USPolitics #ICE
Don’t take the bait. As soon as #Republicans pass the $72 billion bill to fund #ICE & #CBP operations, #Trump will restart the #MAGASlushFund. He cannot be trusted. Learn already!
“Trump administration signals to GOP leaders it will drop a $1.8 billion ‘anti-weaponization’ fund, but the president has yet to weigh in publicly”

Law enforcement officials from Minnesota & Texas on Friday arrested an #Immigration & Customs Enforcement agent accused of shooting a #Venezuelan immigrant this year & lying about it.
The agent, Christian Castro, 52, was arrested in Texas after investigators from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension tracked him down.
There are at least five #HungerStrike actions going on at different #ICE facilities across the US right now. Thank you to LA Taco for connecting the dots between #Adelanto #DelaneyHall and more
#ICE detainees are dying by #suicide at an 'alarming' rate, AP investigation finds
Brayan Rayo Garzon was distraught. Detained by ICE, he was on his fourth day of #isolation in a Missouri jail as he battled the fevers & chills of #COVID-19.
His request for #MentalHealth treatment had been put off, records show, & staff had forbidden Rayo from making his nightly call to his mother as a precaution intended to prevent the spread of illness.
Three U.S. senators have called for an overhaul of federal agents’ use of tear gas and pepper spray, citing a ProPublica investigation that found at least 79 children were hurt by these chemicals during Trump’s immigration crackdown.
A ProPublica investigation found that scores of children were hurt by these chemicals during President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. Lawmakers say the findings show more restrictions are needed.
Follow-up to my earlier post about #NewJersey Senator #AndyKim, who was pepper-sprayed by #ICE at the #DelaneyHall Detention Center in Newark on Monday.
This jaw-dropping photo shared with me shows the moment before ICE actually pepper-sprayed Kim, when he was trying to bring the temperature down. One for the ages.
I'm going call his office again right now. How lucky are we in NJ to have such representation?

Dozens of U.S. citizens and immigrants are seeking millions in damages, alleging excessive force, wrongful detention and other abuses by federal agents during immigration raids.
"Today, a coalition of locally elected district attorneys and prosecutors from across the United States have officially put the #Trump administration on notice: any federal agent who shows up at a polling place in violation of state or federal law will be investigated and prosecuted under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they act. And they will be jailed, if needed."
All remaining charges have been dropped against the "Broadview Six," who were indicted for felony conspiracy last year after a protest at an ICE facility in Illinois. The dismissal was with prejudice, meaning charges cannot be brought again, and was attributed to mishandling of grand jury proceedings, with Judge April Perry saying she had never seen anything worse than what she saw in the unredacted transcripts. Defense attorney Chris Parente says the behavior of the federal prosecutors should "shame every American," and that his clients, including former congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, plan to file a claim with the DOJ's new "anti-weaponization" fund. Here's more from @CBSNews.
Federal prosecutors have dismissed all charges against the four remaining members of the so-called "Broadview Six," a group of protesters who were arrested outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview last fall.
New from Jesús Jank Curbelo: Under #Trump, more than 50 American kids per day have an undocumented parent yanked into #ICE detention.
These children are citizens and the government has left them struggling to survive. Here are the stories of some from #Texas ... texasobserver.org/ruptured-fam…
❝ … if ICE descends on the stadiums where the soccer matches are played, particularly in Los Angeles and D.C.—where the agents are still Trump’s occupying army—the federation’s unions may have to counter with job actions to protect its members, Shuler warns in a letter to FIFA President Gianni Infantino. peoplesworld.org/article/afl-c…
WASHINGTON—With soccer’s World Cup tournament set to open in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada on June 11, the AFL-CIO is demanding the sport’s ruling federation pressure host cities to keep Donald Trump’s vicious and violent ICE agents out.
Minnesota is prosecuting ICE agents for their crimes. Sadly too slow. But these are State charges, so the president can not pardon them. #ice #crimes #minnesota
Federal prosecutors initially charged Julio Sosa-Celis with assaulting a federal agent with a shovel in January during “Operation Metro Surge,” but the case soon fell apart.
More Than 100,000 American Kids Have Had a Parent Detained in Immigration Sweeps, Report Estimates ---
Far more American children have likely been separated from their parents during immigration sweeps than previously understood, according to a new Brookings report. propublica.org/article/trump-i…
Since the Trump administration doesn’t track how many children have been separated from their parents by immigration detention, a Brookings report tried to calculate it — and it cited ProPublica’s reporting.
The agent is the second federal officer to face #felony charges in Minnesota stemming from Operation Metro Surge, the #Trump admin’s #immigration crackdown.

nobody in this article about how #nyc is getting screwed by #FIFA mentioned the one reason people aren't coming to #WorldCup2026 : the year and a half #Trump has spent broadcasting his #ICE anti-immigrant revenge porn.
no sports event is worth the risk of ending in a #MAGA concentration camp.
but more importantly, the article reveals how USA politicians can’t fathom a #BDSUSA movement
FIFA predicted the New York area would take in $3 billion from the World Cup. But some official estimates say the city could lose money on the world’s biggest sporting event.
The UK has received a request from the US to share biometric data of citizens, as Europe negotiates a similar deal with US Department of Homeland Security
"Legal #immigrants🚨are losing their jobs & their legal status not bc THEY did anything wrong, but bc the GOVT refuses to adjudicate the appls they paid for & filed. It should be a massive scandal." -A R-Melnick
Hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants find themselves in limbo, many losing their jobs and risking deportation, after U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services refuses to process their cases.
Everybody hates #robocalls. But, despite tech reporting being willing to give the #FCC leeway, this new measure is not to stop robocalls, it won’t do a damn thing to stop robocalls. What it does is make burner phones illegal.
Burners are an integral part of many social justice actions. Protestors use them to record #ICE and other #cops. We include them in “Go Bags” to let abused women and children escape. They allow for anonymity.
They are a thorn in the side of the panopticon, and they are moving to eliminate them.
