A new report by Human Rights Watch and partner nonprofits released today confirms that migrants at the downtown Miami ICE facility were indeed shackled with hands tied behind their backs, forced to kneel, and made to eat from styrofoam plates “like dogs.”

FOX: CNN has a report accusing you of slowing the process in Texas.

NOEM: Well there you go. Fake news CNN is absolutely trash, what they are doing.

When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.

They really do believe the floods resulted from Democrats controlling the weather. If liberals could do that, wouldn't they have done it for LA during the fires? Some people really will believe anything except the truth when it makes their their beloved party's actions look bad.

🧵 Albuquerque, NM — A man was violently tased & tackled inside the Walmart at 2250 Coors Blvd by unidentified masked thugs in ICE & HSI vests. He screamed for help as he was dragged out. A bystander filmed it—then was kicked out of the store. Walmart is complicit in covering up a public kidnapping.

In practice, Texas transparency rules mean a lobbyist could buy the same elected official a steak dinner every night, and as long as the daily cost stays under $132.60, they don’t need to say who benefited.

Unfortunately the American people have spoken in our complicity. Some of us filling the streets makes a statement but has no impact on this regime's cruel & inhumane actions. If a literal Holocaust repeated in the US, would we allow it to continue the way we allow the current cruelties to continue?

It’s costing taxpayers $450/M annually & Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp is already flooding. Imagine a hurricane. People are going to die.

There’s always enough money to hurt folks, but when it comes to public transit, low-income housing, schools, or public healthcare, “Sorry, we’re broke.”

Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves.

If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such.
