JUDGE JOHNSTON: β€œToday, immigrants are being detained without due process. Tomorrow, under the Government’s interpretation of the law, American citizens could be subject to the same .. This Court will not allow such an unraveling of the Constitution.”

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

Proof that it's all been about racial profiling.

I spoke to another woman who had a similar thing happen today.

The media should be PRAISING these athletes who know and understand the importance of public health. These articles should be about how they are setting an example for EVERYONE. And how we should all take their lead.

Instead their positioning is: β€œlook at these fucking weirdos”

Immigrants at ICE’s Adelanto detention center denounce lack of medical care and β€œinhumane” conditions A federal lawsuit by immigrants detained at the ICE facility alleges they’re treated like β€œdogs in cages” and denied food and water.

In ICE detention camps, β€œdisease and illness are rampant, mold grows on the walls, and detained individuals are denied sufficient food, clean drinking water, proper medical care, and disability accommodations”.

ICE is a scourge of humanity, and also of public health.

Israeli forces detained several Palestinians near the al-Zeayem checkpoint outside occupied East Jerusalem, reportedly for not having the right identification cards.

Since 1981, Israel has used a colour-coded ID system to control and restrict Palestinian freedom of movement.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

β€œHe can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, β€˜Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

China sold 11 million electric vehicles in one year, leaving less room for the oil it used to buy from Venezuela But there is a basic question lurking behind the headlines. Who will actually need that oil in the years ahead? For years, China has been one of Venezuela’s

More than half of the world’s new electric cars are now plugging into Chinese sockets instead of lining up at gas stations. By 2024, it is estimated that China’s EV sales were growing about 40% year on year, even as some Western markets stumbled.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Amongst other things, this again highlights the core point about due process. It’s bad enough to be in a β€œshow me your papers” situation, but your precious citizen/non-citizen, β€œlegal”/β€œillegal” distinctions are meaningless when you can’t prove anything to authorities because they don’t give a shit.

It seems that the only way of knowing for certain that Elon's businesses will never achieve something, is if Elon says they will achieve said thing by next year....

Watch Tesla FSD v14.2 slam the brakes for no reason.

If another car had been following this could have caused a serious crash. Elon Musk’s defective software must be banned from public roads.
