Hey, @politico.eu, shouldn't you include Tony Blair Institute's well-known links to petrostates & oil & gas companies in this report?

And shouldn't you call him "oil & IT lobbyist" first, since he's been that twice as long as he was PM?

DHS won't release FEMA $ to all victims of CA fires & other disasters, but can use $45B to build unregulated, inhumane concentration camps they call detention centers in TX, AZ, FL VA, etc. $45 B to prisons, but no universal healthcare & cuts to vital programs. NOT OKAY! #ImpeachHim #ICEOut

- The number of people held in ICE detention on any given day increased by over 75% in one year

- With the funding provided by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, ICE has enough funding to operate upwards of 135,000 detention beds through the end of FY 2029.

This is why we say FUCK ICE

But that's not the only shocking number:

You do realize that “I’m an illegal immigrant” has never been a defense against any crime. However, DHS saying “they’re an illegal immigrant” has absolutely been used to cover up the fact they are primarily arresting people not guilty of any crime.

Is this a Win? Yes, but also No.

Tl;dr: The best thing you can do is keep calling your Senators every single day and demanding that they vote against DHS funding bills, unless the funding bill includes significant cuts to the ICE budget + adds real oversight, not just the rules already in place.
🚨 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.
