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, 2025WASHINGTON (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."

"To echo Malcolm X, these monstrosities should be stopped by any means necessary, even if it just takes turning the off the water spigot. Still, the biggest reason to be outraged about this scheme for American #concentrationCamps should not be infrastructure but the rank immorality spelled out in the cold ink of the #DHS floor plan." - Will Bunch

Shame these f*ckers out of office!
#MAGA senator slams illegal immigrants as 'criminals' — then steps in to free ICE detainee
Jennifer Bowers Bahney
July 31, 2025 3:54PM ET"MAGA Sen. #JohnKennedy (R-LA), who has been a fervent supporter of Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts to deport undocumented migrants, reversed course when it came to one of his constituents, according to The New York Times.
"Kennedy told Fox News on July 17, 'If you’re in our country illegally, you’re a criminal. Illegal immigration is illegal, duh.'
"And yet, the senator's office recently asked the Department of Homeland Security to release 25-year-old #PaolaClouatre after two months in a #Louisiana #DetentionCenter, the report said.
"Clouatre is a Mexican citizen and mother of two young children who is married to a U.S. #MarineCorps #veteran.
" 'In an email on Tuesday morning, Christy Tate, the constituent services representative in Mr. Kennedy’s office, wrote to Mr. Clouatre to confirm that his wife had been released from ICE custody after her office had made a formal request to the federal agency,' the report said.
"The email read in part, 'I am so happy for you and your family. We will continue to keep you, your family and others that are experiencing the same issues in our prayers.' [Because of you, Mr. Kennedy!!!]
"Reporter Pooja Salhotra wrote that Clouatre came to the United States as a teenager 'to seek asylum with her mother and brother.' After her mother failed to show up for a court hearing in California in 2018, a judge issued a deportation order against the teen.
"Now estranged from her mother, Clouatre said she didn't learn of the deportation order until earlier this year 'when she was already in the process of applying for a #greencard, the report said.
"She was detained by ICE agents on May 27 shortly after giving birth, and while attending a 'routine appointment in New Orleans related to her application for a green card and #PermanentResident status,' according to the report.
"During her incarceration, Clouatre's husband brought the couple's 9-week-old baby to the jail so she could breastfeed. [How Christian of them!] She is currently wearing an ankle monitor and awaiting a court date for her immigration proceedings."

#NationalGuard Ordered to Do #ICE Paperwork at #Immigration Facilities in 20 States
#Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to immigration facilities further blurs the line between #military and #LawEnforcement.
by Nick Turse, July 31 2025
"The Trump administration authorized the deployment of National Guard troops to immigration facilities in 20 states beginning early next month, further entwining the military in civil and law enforcement functions.
"The move undermines long-standing prohibitions on the use of the armed forces in domestic operations, sidestepping the Posse Comitatus Act and accelerating the U.S. transition into a #PoliceState, experts said.
"The National Guard will be deployed in #Arkansas, #Florida, #Georgia, #Indiana, #Iowa, #Louisiana, #Nebraska, #SouthCarolina, #Texas, #Utah, and #Virginia, among other states, according to a defense official who was not authorized to disclose the information.
"Immigration and Customs Enforcement acknowledged it was now finalizing the parameters of its expanded collaboration with the Pentagon. 'We’re engaged with the Department of Defense and we’re figuring out the next steps,' Tanya Roman, an ICE spokesperson told The Intercept.
"Guard members will assist ICE officials in 'alien processing' – administrative work preceding detention — in 20 states while ICE leadership will 'direct' troops assigned to the mission, which will begin in early August, according to a memo first revealed on Wednesday by the New York Times.
" 'The National Guard serving as camp administrators for ICE’s infamous #DetentionCenters is a dangerous and shameful step for everyone involved,' said #SamRatner, policy director at #WinWithoutWar.
"The Pentagon told The Intercept that these troops will operate under so-called Title 32 status, meaning they will be under state, rather than federal, control, unlike deployments in Los Angeles and across the southern border. Experts say it hardly lessens the dangers to democracy.
" 'This move raises almost all the same concerns as using active-duty troops, and then some,' Elizabeth Goitein, senior director of the Brennan Center’s liberty and national security program, told The Intercept. 'This is yet another attempt to circumvent the #PosseComitatusAct, which normally prohibits the military from engaging in civilian law enforcement activities.' "

Updated Thu, July 31st 2025 at 6:28 AMPORTLAND (WGME) -- "An Old Orchard Beach police officer was arrested by ICE in Biddeford Friday.
"Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security doubled down on their criticism of the police department for hiring a person they say wasn't allowed to work in the U.S.
"Old Orchard Beach officials say they are disappointed, not only in the way their department is being criticized, but also in the lack of communication from #DHS and being criticized for using the federal government’s e-verification system."

#Immigration agents told a teenage #USCitizen: ‘You’ve got no rights.’ He secretly recorded his brutal arrest
Video from #KennyLaynezAmbrosio, 18, puts fresh scrutiny on the harsh tactics used to reach the #Trump administration’s ambitious enforcement targets
July 25, 2025
"On the morning of 2 May, teenager Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio was driving to his landscaping job in North Palm Beach with his mother and two male friends when they were pulled over by the #FloridaHighwayPatrol.
"In one swift moment, a traffic stop turned into a violent arrest.
"A highway patrol officer asked everyone in the van to identify themselves, then called for backup. Officers with US #BorderPatrol arrived on the scene.
"Video footage of the incident captured by Laynez-Ambrosio, an 18-year-old US citizen, appears to show a group of officers in tactical gear working together to violently detain the three men*, two of whom are undocumented. They appear to use a stun gun on one man, put another in a chokehold and can be heard telling Laynez-Ambrosio: 'You’ve got no rights here. You’re a migo, brother.' Afterward, agents can be heard bragging and making light of the arrests, calling the stun gun use 'funny' and quipping: 'You can smell that … $30,000 bonus.' "

#Maine groups launch #EmergencyFund to support #immigrants and #TransPeople
Maine Public | By Ari Snider
Published July 16, 2025"Several Maine organizations are launching a rapid response fund to support immigrants and trans people in the state who they say are facing increased threats under the #Trump Administration.
"The #MaineSolidarityFund will help cover the cost of legal representation and bond payments for immigrants in #ICEDetention, and provide support to their families.
"#MarpheenChann, executive director of the Cambodian community group #KhmerMaine, believes this approach will be more effective than individual fundraisers for each case.
" 'Our communities can come together to raise money and pool resources, and collectively make sure that our community members are taken care of as they're navigating these very difficult times,' Chann said.
"#KrisPitts, co-executive director of #MaineTransNet, said the fund will help cover #LegalFees in harassment cases, and #GenderAffirmingCare not covered by insurance. Pitts said there's a growing need for support as the Trump administration pursues a number of policies targeting transgender Americans.
" 'For our trans and #nonbinary community members, particularly, the sense of urgency, I think, is there in a way that it wasn't before,' Pitts said.
"Other groups involved in the effort include #PresenteMaine, #GatewayCommunityServicesMaine, and the #CommunityOrganizingAlliance.
"The goal is to raise $1 million over the next year and a half."

3 ways #Trump's #immigration #crackdown could hit #USCitizens
Brittany Gibson, Apr 23, 2025
"#Trump administration officials are suggesting their immigration crackdown could expand to include deporting convicted U.S. citizens and charging anyone — not just immigrants — who criticizes Trump's policies.
"Why it matters: Such moves — described by officials in recent days — would show how U.S. citizens could be impacted by the growing number of tactics President Trump is using to, in his view, improve national security.
"They'd also be certain to ignite new legal battles over how far Trump's team can go in fighting illegal immigration and responding to #dissenters.
"Zoom in: Here are three tactics the administration has teased that legal analysts say would challenge Americans' rights:
1. Sending convicted U.S. citizens to prisons abroad.
This has been floated as a spinoff of Trump's deal with El Salvador, where a high-security prison is holding about 300 U.S. immigration detainees that the administration says are suspected criminals and gang members.
"Homegrowns are next," Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele last week, referring to sending Americans convicted of crimes to serve time in foreign prisons.
"We always have to obey the laws," Trump said, "but we also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways, that hit elderly ladies over the head ... I'd like to include them in the group of people to get them out of the country."
Trump's suggestion — echoing a similar proposal Bukele made to Secretary of State Marco Rubio in February — drew a storm of criticism from legal advocates, who called it unconstitutional.2. Putting critics of the administration's policies in jeopardy.
Some officials say U.S. citizens who #criticize administration policies could be charged with crimes, based on the notion that they're aiding terrorists and criminals.
"You have to ask yourself, are they technically aiding and abetting them, because aiding and abetting criminals and terrorists is a crime," White House senior director for counterterrorism Seb Gorka said in an interview with Newsmax.
Trump's team also has questioned the legality of civic groups providing #immigrants with "#KnowYourRights" trainings on how to respond to federal agents. Border czar Tom Homan suggested that such seminars help people evade law enforcement.
"They're trying to use terrorism laws to attack people for their speech and for their political activism, and that's an authoritarian effort," said Kerri Talbot, co-executive director of the Immigration Hub, an immigration advocacy group.3. Questioning the authority of court orders.
The administration's resistance to returning Kilmar Abrego Garcia — who was legally in the U.S. with an order not to be deported back to El Salvador, but deported to the prison there anyway — has raised questions about how far Trump's team can go in trying to skirt court orders.
The White House says the decision to return #AbregoGarcia rests with El Salvador because the U.S. Supreme Court told the administration only to "facilitate" his return, not "effectuate" it.Advocates worry the resulting confusion has laid the groundwork for Trump's team to send a #USCitizen to a foreign prison, then claim that person couldn't be returned.
A federal judge raised this concern in Abrego Garcia's case.
"If today the Executive claims the right to deport without due process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American citizens and then disclaim responsibility to bring them home?" wrote Judge Harvie Wilkinson III.
"And what assurance shall there be that the Executive will not train its broad discretionary powers upon its political enemies?"What they're saying: Michelle Brané, former executive director of the Biden administration's Family Reunification Task Force, echoed Wilkinson.
"If they can send a noncitizen to a prison in El Salvador without due process ... why would a U.S. citizen be safer?"
The White House didn't respond to a request for comment. But officials have argued that they have an electoral mandate for stricter immigration enforcement, and that opposition to their policies is against the will of voters.
Trump's handling of immigration polls well in public surveys.
But sending immigrants to El Salvador's prison without criminal convictions or due process does not — about 60% were opposed in a recent YouGov survey.Between the lines: U.S. citizens have been mistakenly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) before, including cases this month in Arizona and Florida.
"People are realizing that this is going to impact all communities," Talbot said, "and that if one citizen can be picked up, then any of us can be picked up and put into proceedings, or labeled a #terrorist, or removed to a foreign prison."

Fearing #Trump #ICERaids, these 2 major American cities have canceled #CincoDeMayo parades
By Tom Wrobleski, Apr. 14, 2025
"Two major American cities have canceled their Cinco de Mayo parades amid fears that the events could be targeted for raids tied to President Donald Trump’s #immigration policies.
"CBS News Chicago reported that the annual Cinco de Mayo parade in the Little Village neighborhood of #Chicago will not take place this year.
"Organizers blamed the Trump administration.
"The Cermak Road Chamber of Commerce said the Mexican community in Chicago is worried about potential U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids on the event.
" 'Our community is very frightened because of the raids and the threat that ICE has imposed on the families that work tirelessly to provide a better future for their kids,' chamber President Hector Escobar said in a statement. 'Our community has faced bullying and prosecution and are not indulging in community activities, therefore we feel that there is nothing to celebrate.'
"Organizers said they plan to return to the event in 2026.
"#Philadelphia’s #CarnavalDePuebla has also been canceled because of fears of ICE raids.
"Organizer Edgar Ramirez told CBS News Philadelphia that the parade, initially set for April 27, had been canceled because of ICE targeting of the #Mexican community.
"Organizing committee member Olga Rentería said she received phone calls from people who were afraid to attend the event.
" 'The committee decided it was not a good idea to go with it because we didn’t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable,' Rentería said.
"Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Mexican army’s victory over the French at the #BattleOfPuebla on May 5, 1862.
"Trump has made border security, including #deportations of those with criminal records who are in this country illegally, a tentpole issue of his second term in office."

MONMOUTH — "After dozens of residents voiced opposition, the police department has withdrawn its application for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement program that allows local law enforcement agencies to work with the federal agency to enforce federal immigration laws.
"Police Chief Paul Ferland said he was seeking the training so his officers would know what to do if they come across people who are in the United States illegally.
"In the past year or so, Monmouth officers have called the U.S. Border Patrol about a dozen times, each time with questions about legal rights, when to detain someone and how to not violate someone’s constitutional rights.
"Each instance can take hours, Ferland said, as officers wait for federal agents to arrive from wherever they are stationed. Once the agents arrive, they check for the person’s immigration status and whether they may have an upcoming court date. If not, the officers can issue a date.
"The southwest Kennebec County town is home to a number of businesses, including #agricultural businesses that employ #migrant workers.
"Ferland announced the department’s withdrawal from the program Wednesday at the town’s Board of Selectmen meeting, which was packed with residents both in person and on Zoom who turned out mostly to speak against the move.
"Because Ferland is also the chief of the Winthrop Police Department, that town is also withdrawing, he said.
" 'When I saw how this is dividing the community, it’s not what I want. It’s not what our officers want. Our community is our community, it’s our home. The officers love their community, and we are not here to divide it. That is one of the reasons why I pulled the application. Not the only, but the biggest,' Ferland said."Following an executive order signed by President Donald #Trump, police departments from 38 states have applied to be a part of ICE’s 287 (g) program, including the #WellsPoliceDepartment, which according to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement data is the only #Maine police agency that is currently taking part."

#Immigrant coalition raises alarm over #WellsME #police #ICE partnership as state debate looms
April 13, 2025
WELLS, Maine (WGME) -- "The executive director of the #MaineImmigrantRightsCoalition, #MufaloChitam, says her organization is aware of the new agreement that the #WellsPoliceDepartment signed with ICE which allows officers to arrest people based on #immigration #violations.
"Wells is the first town in Maine to take this step, though other towns have applied as well.
"Chitam says, for her organization and the people they represent, the important thing is to bring awareness to what this means.
"Around the country, departments in 37 states have signed on.
" 'It just brings reality to Maine. We’ve been seeing this around the country, and around other states, but not experienced it in Maine. So that’s significant for us. It makes it real, it brings it home,' Chitam said.
"Maine lawmakers may also debate a bill that would ban police departments from this partnership."
