Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities.
28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

Melia's story is one of heartbreak - abandoned by her family and stuck in the shelter for 593 days. Despite volunteers' love and care, she's struggling to cope. To thrive, Melia needs a calm, low-traf...

Greg Bovino is back in Chicago, and ICE has been spotted in the Evanston area.
The best way to keep our loved ones safe is to alert the community whenever possible. Whistles are one of the most accessible tools to warn neighbors and disrupt ICE incursions.
Come pick up a whistle, if you need one!

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

Christ, what an asshole.
Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

I've been reporting on the criminal justice system for over a decade and have lived in an authoritarian country overseas, but I've never seen anything like the police presence in ICE-occupied Memphis. Here's my dispatch: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Please read every word of this article, and please pass it on. We need to understand the day to day reality of what’s happening, and know how to help. It is no exaggeration to say that the United States is under occupation, and we are in the beginning stages of another Underground Railroad.
