  1. “De Facto #Dictatorship”: Democrats Confront #ICE, #CBP Officials on Brutal Tactics

    #DemocracyNow, February 11, 2026

    "House Democrats grilled the heads of ICE, CBP and USCIS at a hearing Tuesday over their role in the Trump administration’s brutal campaign to carry out #MassDeportations. 'These three directors are responsible for what we are seeing around the country, whether it’s in detention, whether it’s in the streets or even in the courts,' says Illinois Congressmember #DeliaRamirez, who is calling for her fellow Democrats to suspend funding for the Department of Homeland Security unless Republicans agree to their demands to rein in federal immigration agents. We play excerpts from Ramirez and other representatives’ remarks about the killings of U.S. citizens #ReneeGood and #AlexPretti in Minneapolis, the deaths of #immigrants in ICE custody and the fear and terror experienced by civilians confronted daily by masked federal agents. 'This is more than #authoritarianism. This is a de facto dictatorship,' says Texas Congressmember #AlGreen, who also spoke at the hearing."

    The $45 billion for #ImmigrationDetention in the "#BigBeautifulBill" represented a long-sought win for private prisons.

    Matt Sledge, July 10 2025

    Excerpt: "In the 2024 election cycle, employees and PACs affiliated with the publicly traded industry behemoths GEO Group and #CoreCivic contributed overwhelmingly to Republicans and Trump.

    "Republicans received 92 percent of $3.7 million in contributions affiliated with GEO Group and 96 percent of the $785,000 in contributions affiliated with CoreCivic, according to #OpenSecrets, a nonpartisan, nonprofit research group that tracks official disclosures. When Trump won, the two companies gave $500,000 each to his inaugural committee.

    Even though the industry kept profiting from the Biden administration — despite a supposed ban on private prisons — one advocate said it was clear to her why companies went all-in on Trump."

  3. Far-Right #Sheriffs Want to Carry Out Donald Trump's #MassDeportations. That’s Not Possible

    Across the US, sheriffs say they’re willing to do whatever they can to help Donald Trump’s “border czar,” Tom Homan, expel millions of #immigrants. Legally, that isn’t much.
