Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.

The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, but the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely.

I seriously have no idea why it’s legal for Trump to sue constituents as President
President Trump's lawyers have told a court he shouldn't have to respond to lawsuits because it would distract him from running the government.
But he's found time to bring lawsuits of his own, against the New York Times and even against his own administration.

If you’re tracking the warehouse developments, @projectsaltbox.bsky.social is a must-follow. Doing great work!
🚨ICE just got access to one of its biggest private detention center operators last night, thanks to a Navy contract.
The move lets ICE bypass normal contracting processes to tap GEO Group to operate its detention centers as they race to buy detention sites to house 92,000 detainees nationwide.

The people who are telling you they are withdrawing ICE from Minnesota are the same people who told you a year ago they would release the Epstein Files in full.
They are not to be trusted. They are allergic to truth and incapable of decency.
Stay vigilant.
