The man has exhibited visible disgust for anyone with a disability for years. They’re eugenicists.

Even if this gets overturned by the courts what are parents supposed to do in the meantime if they live in a red state?

The Trump Administration is kidnapping children without telling their parents; this is literally torture

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

We have a legal right to peaceful protests.

They want us sick.

They want us weak.

They want many of us dead.

Get your vaccines if able, but adding a high quality respirator like an N95 can prevent many airborne contagions.

It’ll keep you & your community safe.

History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

Agreeing fully with what @digby56.bsky.social has to say, and what the Justice has to say in this little tête-à-tête on #FoxSo-CalledNews to promote her new 📕 in time for holiday shopping does not convince me one iota.

digby @digby56.bsky.social · 7h

Idiotic. When one party is attempting to radically overturn precedent and the lower courts affirm that precedent maybe just maintain the status quo and hold off overturning the lower courts until you've heard the arguments? Trump isn't "irreparably harmed" by delaying his radicalism by a few months.

If you're disgusted by what they do in the open, it's unthinkable what ICE thugs do to detainees when no one is looking.

Hundreds of immigrants have reported sexual abuse at ICE facilities. Most cases aren't investigated

Records obtained by Futuro Investigates reveal a systemic pattern of abuse by detention officers, contractual guards, and ICE employees, accused of sexually assaulting people in their care.
