Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Texas, County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers: “We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force

The Trump administration’s use of Guantánamo Bay to detain immigrants isn't just cruel — it's illegal.

The government can't weaponize offshore bases to violate people's rights.

Trump Official Says U.S. Can House Migrants at All of Its Overseas Bases

A Justice Department lawyer made the claim in response to a challenge to the administration’s use of the base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to hold detainees designated for deportation.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

Hold the Senate floor, read Virginia Guifrees memoir from cover to cover, every 10 pages, switch to a new Senator. The facts need to be recorded in the Senate Chamber and on record. That’ll get MalarkeyMike & friends back in town.

@jacobbogage.bsky.social is there a missing context to this or can I trust that WAPO will report Trump saying we’re just going to straight up murder people now?

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

As Trump marches toward militarizing San Francisco:

- Memorize contact info in case of arrest
- Plan ahead if you have children or medication
- Speak out PEACEFULLY and at a distance

Stay smart, safe, and don’t give them the excuse they're wanting to escalate their crackdown.
