I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

@govpritzker.illinois.gov what authority does ICE have to manage use of public roads? That sounds like a job for local and state law enforcement.
Not ICE.

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

FEMA camps conspiracy theory
The FEMA camps conspiracy theory is a belief, particularly within the American Patriot movement, L' that the United States Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) is planning to imprison
United States citizens in concentration camps, following the imposition of martial law in the United States after a major disaster or crisis. 1112)(3114] In some versions of the theory, only suspected dissidents will be imprisoned. In more extreme
versions, large numbers of United States citizens will be imprisoned for the purposes of extermination as a New World Order is established. The theory has existed since the late 1970s, but its circulation has increased with the advent of the internet and social media platforms. 12]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dmht6n3frexsulkabk4vtrdm/bafkreib3lxmxbiovqymtftmsk5nu2lvdneqvusa3sjg6bomfy2dgltolq4@jpeg)

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
