They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

Correct.
You could add up all the corruption in US history from every Administration and not even sniff Trump’s year in office.

Every other President in history gets impeached unanimously for this. Every one.

Seize and sell these vehicles to help close the city’s budget deficit.
Storing their car *in front of a fire hydrant for at least 5 days*. This one is particularly egregious.
We talk about sneckdowns in snowstorms here in the city, but it’s also a great way to figure out who’s just storing their car on the street and isn’t using it.

These two charts came up in back to back posts on my feed. First shows deaths in ICE custody. The second, deaths from measles.

The two charts present data differently (bar chart vs overlaid year lines) but share one obvious thing in common:
