  2. AOC: What does it cost us, and you, as a human being, to look the other way.

    What is it costing us, as human beings and as a society to look the other way when women, and children, and innocent people, and young men of promise, are ripped off the street and thrown into a van and dissapeared and you never see them again. There's what that cost to them, but think about what that costs you to look the other way. What does it cost us as a society that starts to normalize looking the other way. - AOC

    AOC is US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York)
    - May 8, 2026. Here’s the full 5-minutes on YouTube: [We need to Abolish ICE. | Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez](youtube.com/watch?v=oyW1x3VjcaI)

    From the youtube description: We need to abolish ICE. What does it cost our humanity to look the other way when women, children, and young men of promise are ripped off the street and disappeared? What does it cost us as a society to normalize looking the other way to such barbarism?

  4. This Minneapolis puppet show is helping the community process the fascist paramilitary invasion

    Thousands of people gathered in south Minneapolis for the Mayday parade, ceremony and festival on Sunday, May 3. The annual spring celebration was marked by themes of resilience, grief and anti-ICE sentiments.

    The hillside of Powderhorn Park was packed with crowds to watch the Tree of Life Ceremony. The performance is a central part of the annual event and is put on by hundreds of volunteers who create large puppets. Each year’s performance invites the community to celebrate joy and resilience.

    This year’s show depicted a family being separated by federal agents and highlighted the different ways community members came together throughout the recent immigration enforcement operation. South Minneapolis is where federal agents fatally shot Renee Good and Alex Pretti in January.

  5. Fascist paramilitary invaders team up with local fascists to brutalize protesters after dragging abductee out of hospital. (Brooklyn, NY • 05/03/2026)

    > The chaos erupted just before 10:30 p.m., when agents brought the man to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in the Bushwick neighborhood. The Department of Homeland Security identified him as Chidozie Wilson Okeke, an immigrant from Nigeria who had overstayed a visa. Agents had used force during his arrest and he had requested medical attention, the department said in a statement.
    >
    > A local group that tracks Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents’ vehicles had apparently followed them to the hospital, said Sandy Nurse, the local city councilwoman, who was present during the demonstration. As many as 200 protesters gathered outside the hospital while the detainee was inside, and some began throwing garbage cans into the street, the police said. Officers received numerous 911 calls and took several people into custody, the police said.
    >
    > Hours later, agents brought the man out of the hospital. Around 2:15 a.m., officers responded to new reports of protesters blocking the ambulance bay, the police said. Videos show two federal agents dragging the detained man, who is handcuffed, out of a hospital exit, down a short staircase and into the ambulance bay, where he appears to fall to the ground.
    >
    > The two agents then stand over him while police officers hold back protesters who are shouting at the agents. Moments later, the agents pull the man up by the arms and drag him into a waiting car.

  6. Community Alert: ICE Operations Actively Surging on Illinois Streets

    Video Source:
    reddit.com/comments/1swacu7

    Added Context:
    I've been hearing these comments about ICE ramping up. Here is an example:

    [blockclubchicago.org/2026/04/2

    For context, the US gov gave these goons the budget of the German military with nearly no supervision. And as of right now, the budget renewal bill passing around in Congress is trying to give them even more obscene money with no increase in regulation.

    It would be unreasonable to expect that they are not going to use that money to increase their ranks and send goons back in. They are probably going to train them a bit better and scale back the naked maliciousness. When they murdered two Americans a few months back, they were under expressed orders from Miller to violently antagonize protestors because Miller believes that violence scares peaceful people.

    After the public backlash, as of now, it seems that the Miller doctrine is off. But ICE still has absurd levels of money and a mandate to develop itself as Trump's personal imperial guard. They are going to go back to every major blue city and cause more havoc, even if their tactics improve to prevent being in the news as much.

    They've been actively terrorizing non-white people in red states the entire time, and we don't hear much about it because red states are happy to support that. The Guardian says ICE and CBP have had about the same amount of arrests in Feb and March of this year as July and August of last year. So they have been active, just trying to keep out of the news by harassing people in communities that allow it.

  7. How to Keep ICE Agents Out of Your Phone at the Airport

    If you’re traveling, follow these digital security practices to keep federal authorities from getting into your phone.

    Nikita Mazurov
    March 25 2026

    "With Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents deployed to more than a dozen airports across the U.S. and border device searches growing increasingly common, it’s more important than ever to consider your digital security before you travel.

    "The risks are real. Customs and Border Protection agents have the authority to examine travelers’ devices. In June, for instance, federal agents denied a Norwegian tourist entry to the U.S. after looking through his phone. (Authorities claim they turned him away for admitted drug use; he says it was over a meme depicting Vice President JD Vance as a bald baby.)

    "Immigration and Customs Enforcement have already started targeting travelers, with agents in plain clothes forcefully detaining a mother in front of her young daughter at San Francisco International Airport on Sunday after a tip from the Transportation Security Administration.

    "If you’re flying, take these steps to reduce the likelihood that your sensitive information is compromised at the airport."

  8. #ICEAgents at US airports? Will they help or hinder?

    Let's separate TSA and #CBP out of #DHS, then get rid of DHS and #ICE!

    ICE agents deployed to more than a dozen US airports amid staffing gaps

    By David Shepardson
    March 23, 2026

    WASHINGTON, March 23 (Reuters) - "U.S. immigration agents ​began deploying at more than a dozen U.S. airports on Monday to aid security screening as staffing ‌absences by unpaid airport security officers have caused massive delays.

    "The Homeland Security Department confirmed it had begun deploying hundreds of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to assist in security at airports facing significant staffing issues."

    [...]

    "For now, ICE personnel will not be deployed in areas behind airport security checkpoints because they lack the specific clearance needed, ‌sources told ⁠Reuters."

  9. Boy, you know things are topsy-turvy when #RandPaul is the voice of reason! smh

    "Paul calls Mullin a liar with anger management problems who lacks the temperament to lead the troubled Homeland Security Department that is at the forefront of Trump’s mass deportation agenda.

    " 'Tell it to the world why you believe I deserved to be assaulted,' Paul said on Wednesday as he gaveled the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to order.

    " 'Explain to the American people why they should trust a man with anger issues to set the proper example for ICE and border patrol agents.' "

  10. Trump administration speeds up new rules that would make it easier to charge some protesters

    By REBECCA SANTANA
    Updated 4:19 PM EDT, November 6, 2025

    Excerpts: "The new rules empower officers from the #FederalProtective #Service [#FPS] to make arrests and charge people for actions near the federal property, and they include new rules regulating unauthorized use of #drones and tampering with digital networks.

    "The Homeland Security news release gave some examples of conduct that the Federal Protective Service could now charge someone for, both on federal property and off, including wearing a #mask while committing a crime, #obstructing access to federal property and tampering with government IT systems like card readers.

    "Spencer Reynolds, a former intelligence and counterintelligence lawyer at the Department of Homeland Security who’s now with the #BrennanCenter for Justice, a think tank, said Congress gave the Federal Protective Service the ability to work and carry out arrests off of federal property as necessary. But he’s concerned that the new regulations codifying these powers will be used as a way to target #protesters.

    " 'I see this as being guidance to go after peaceful protests where they are happening in the vicinity or even not in the vicinity of federal property,' he said.

    "In a report last year issued by the Brennan Center, Reynolds said the FPS expanded dramatically after Sept. 11 and that’s led to 'overreach under political pressure.' "
    [...]

    "The Federal Protective Service is tasked with protecting federal properties. The agency used to fall under the U.S. General Services Administration, which is responsible for purchasing and managing federal real estate, but when the Department of Homeland Security was created in the aftermath of Sept. 11, the FPS was transferred to Homeland Security."

  11. How a Tiny, Inexperienced Firm Landed a $1.3 Billion #Detention Deal To hold 5,000 human beings.

    by Samantha Michaels, November+December 2025 Issue

    Excerpt: "When the Trump administration awarded a $1.26 billion contract this summer to build and operate a new tent city #detention center in #Texas, it made headlines, and not just because the facility, located at the #FortBliss Army base, was expected to be the biggest of its kind in the country. The company that won the job, #AcquisitionLogistics, was so small it operated out of a single-family home in #RichmondVA. Almost nobody had heard of it. 'A random house…just won $1.26 billion from #ICE,' wrote the New Republic.

    "Whereas many companies with ICE contracts had long histories with immigrant detention, including private prison giants such as GEO Group, Acquisition Logistics had no prior experience in incarceration. Previously, its biggest federal contract was $16 million, and CEO #KenWagner is circling retirement at 77. Over the summer, the company’s website was inaccessible to the public, with the header 'Site maintenance in progress.' Archived screenshots showed the firm specializes in supply chain management. Could it safely operate a 5,000-bed detention facility?"

  12. #Secrecy seems to be the hallmark of both #DetentionCenters and #Datacenters! Sneaky, sneaky...!

    Mystery surrounds #RichmondVA-area home tied to firm behind $1.2B Army #Texas tent-camp contract

    By: The Associated Press
    Posted 3:36 PM, Aug 28, 2025

    WASHINGTON (AP) — "When President Donald Trump's administration last month awarded a contract worth up to $1.2 billion to build and operate what it says will become the nation’s largest immigration detention complex, it didn’t turn to a large government contractor or even a firm that specializes in private prisons.

    Instead, it handed the project on a military base to Acquisition Logistics LLC, a small business that has no listed experience running a correction facility and had never won a federal contract worth more than $16 million. The company also lacks a functioning website and lists as its address a modest home in suburban Virginia owned by a 77-year-old retired Navy flight officer."

  13. A ‘Shameful’ Legacy: #Texas Has Officially Opened an #ICE #DetentionFacility at Site of #WWII #InternmentCamp

    #CampEastMontana is now the largest #immigrant detention facility in U.S. history, but it’s just one of 19 sites that will add a total of 37,649 new beds for ICE detainment — a 105% increase in the state’s capacity.

    by Leslie Rangel August 18, 2025

    Excerpt: "In #ElPaso on Sunday, the #Trump Administration opened the doors to Camp East Montana, the largest ICE detention facility in the country’s history. It reportedly cost $1.2 billion under a U.S. Defense Department contract.

    "The new facility is at Fort Bliss, one of five sites where Texas held detainees of #Japanese descent, as well as immigrants from #Germany and #Italy — including #AmericanBorn civilians — during #WorldWarII, according to the National Parks Service and The El Paso Times."
