Contaminated food, bug infestations, and overflowing toilets plague the new Everglades detention center, cruelly called "Alligator Alcatraz."
ICE can't hold people there without access to lawyers, so we're taking the Trump administration to court.

The National Guard are meant to be deployed to respond to real emergencies like natural disasters and public health crises.
Advancing President Trump's political agenda is not one of those emergencies — and the former vice chief of the National Guard Bureau agrees.

58% of women in prison are mothers to minor children. Of those women, most are single mothers.
Hundreds of births take place in prisons and jails every year, often with the baby immediately separated from the parent after birth.
Families belong together, not separated by prison bars.

The sitting president of the United States just used a doctored image as justification for violating someone’s right to due process. Not a random internet troll. Not some rogue sheriff in a backwoods county. The president. This is executive fraud, carried out from the highest office in the land.

Veterans, seniors, legal residents, women, children--there is hardly a segment of American society that hasn't been viciously screwed over by the Shitler regime. It is in fact infuriating that those who fought for and defended the United States of America should be treated like so much garbage.
Orgs estimate that hundreds of veterans have been deported by ICE over the years. Countless veterans remain stranded abroad, living as exiles from the nation they fought for. Alex Murillo is one of those deported veterans, writing for Prism.

We’ll have estimates later today, but small towns are really showing up. You can tell, it’s catching local media off guard. Reporters are like, “Wow, we didn’t expect this kind of turnout here.” As for the comments on those stories, ignore the usual MAGA noise.
