this thread is harrowing but these lawyers are fucking heroic
So it’s a race: how quickly can a person’s family realize they were snatched and find a lawyer, and how quickly can that lawyer get a habeas petition of file? And is that faster than ICE can load the detainee on a plane to Texas?

It’s exhausting and terrifying. It can be life and death.

But we don't have enough money for Americans to have affordable healthcare.
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...

As myself and others within the academic and research world have been clearly pointing out this has all been counterinsurgency, not actual on the ground changes
Elite media is helping to amplify that counter insurgency propaganda in place of the reality that nothing on the ground here has changed
NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.

Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."

Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them

I will outlaw lawns over a small front yard.

We will subsidize you to actually use it to grow food on it.

We'll also reduce Golf Courses by no less than 75%, require INCREDIBLE reductions on water use for upkeep.

Also; Cruiseliners will be harbored & transitioned into Hospitals, Schools, Housing.
Americans spend more than 3 billion hours **per year** pushing or riding gas-powered lawnmowers. That’s the equivalent of 187,500 people working full-time just on lawn mowing

It’s hard to imagine a more vacuous & destructive embodiment of unearned wealth & ecological ignorance

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

The democrats sold us out again

Just complete nonsense and collapse from the leadership.

Everything that happens is on the democrats as much as any maga
🚨 The Senate has agreed to a deal to vote on 5/6 full appropriations bills and replace the DHS funding measure with a 2-week stopgap bill, per multiple sources. That gives time to negotiate on the Dem demands for ICE and CBP restraints.
