  3. #SacoME - #ICE arrested Angolan man on his way home from visiting newborn in the hospital, pastor says

    More than 200 people have been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement since enforcement surged last week, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

    by Emily Allen, January 26, 2026

    Excerpt: "An Angolan #AsylumSeeker and father of four was detained by U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement on Friday evening after visiting his newborn child at the hospital, his pastor said.

    "Senior Minister Scott Cousineau from First Parish Saco Church said he was 'shocked' by the arrest of the long-time parishioner, who he only identified as #Makengo. Cousineau declined to share Makengo’s last name without the family’s permission.

    " 'She’s afraid to go out of the house, because what if something happens to her?' Cousineau said of Makengo’s wife. 'Then what happens to the children?'

    "He said Makengo has been with First Parish for more than eight years, joining almost immediately after he arrived in the U.S. Cousineau said Makengo is one of the church’s greeters who welcome people before services and his young daughter played Mary in the church’s Christmas play last year.

    "Cousineau said that he believes Makengo did 'everything he was supposed' for his asylum case.

    " 'He’s not among the worst of the worst, he’s really among the best of the best,' Cousineau said."

  9. #Irish government is considering to apply a €238/week rent to #asylumseeker in IPAS centres. €238 a week to live in a tent. According to Minister #ColmBrophy that's a "fair" request.

  10. Earlier today, I posted about the tragic death of an #AsylumSeeker who was 'housed' in Manston Airport. He passed away because of a #diptheria outbreak at that unhygienic place

    An hour ago, I learnt that ALL 38 asylum seekers are to be taken off the #BibbyStockholm because of a substantial #Legionnaires outbreak.

    Humans are not supposed to live like this.

    We are neither commodities nor packages.

    I truly hate the bastards that do this.

  16. “The indefinite detention of those seeking asylum, based solely on their mode of arrival, would punish people in need of help and protection and constitute a clear breach of the United Kingdom’s obligations under the 1951 Refugee Convention.”

    "There is no such thing as an 'illegal asylum seeker'".

    @icedquinn
    Part of us thinks that it was supposed to be a distraction. A lot of #TrumpSupporters support #Wikileaks founder #JulianAssange.

    Judge #VanessaBaraitser ruled to keep #Assange in #arbitraryDetention on that day, despite the fact #Assange's reasons for seeking #asylumSeeker status and #skippingBail are now clearly well-founded.

    Also this was around the time #Trump pardoned actual #WarCriminals at #BlackWater.

    We call, "#theatre".
