What Trump's DHS officials won't say: No immigrant has ever killed an ICE agent. CBP agents commit more crimes per capita than undocumented people. You can't "dox" public servants. Body cameras don't reduce misconduct.
Trump's immigration officials don't want to talk about the cruelty
In a three-hour hearing, Trump's ICE, CBP, and USCIS heads drank up praise, deflected blame, and fast-talked about accountability.

Lyons says ICE agents actually "took care" of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos when they detained him, before shipping him off to a horrific Texas ICE facility.
He says ICE officers "comforted him" as they chased his dad, put him in their car to play "his favorite music, then took him to McDonalds."

Warehouses are not built to house people. They lack the plumbing for safe sanitation.
ICE is buying warehouses knowing that any people they stuff into them will be subject to filth and diseases. They plan to torture, and likely kill, millions of people.
This is the new Holocaust ramping up.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Judges need to start holding DHS leaders in contempt - with prison time penalties - for these cruel games in service to their crimes against humanity.
This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.
When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.

The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
