It is not a misconception that ICE is going after "the worst of the worst" or even criminals, as Trump and Republicans promised and insist.

It is a LIE.

A new California law will effectively ban officers from questioning the families of people killed by police before alerting them to the news of their loved one's death.

This practice was popularized by Lexipol, the nation’s largest developer of law enforcement policy manuals. 🧵

California cops can no longer conceal police killings while interrogating loved ones for dirt

A Reveal investigation helped spark a crackdown on a disturbing, widespread practice.

2. Hamas breached by not returning all dead hostage remains
3. Isreal breached by refusing to open the Rafah crossing to allow aid to Pakestinians
4. Trump is threatening active US military engagement in the Middle East

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.
