Undocumented people pay more in taxes than most corporations. But sure, let’s pretend this is about taxes. If it actually were, Lambert wouldn’t have voted to give corporations $1.5 billion in tax breaks and refunds last session.

Ogles is a blowhard. My Muslim neighbors are more American than he will ever be.

And before that fools says something, my ancestors lived here when parts of the US where still Mexico.

Vete à la chingada.

They are coming for people no matter their legal status! No one is safe. If you have a business that would like a free training on the 4th Amendment, please reach out. You might not think it's an issue for your workplace yet, but don’t wait until ICE is inside to find out you weren't prepared.

Nashville Noticias staffer Estefany Rodríguez was detained by ICE in South Nashville on Wednesday morning. There was no warrant for her arrest. Her attorneys have filed an emergency petition in federal court seeking a writ of habeas corpus, or an immediate review of whether or not her detention is legal. 

Rodríguez, who was in the car with her husband — a U.S. citizen — has been following all the legal steps to citizenship. In her job, Rodríguez has reported several stories that hold ICE accountable, and it’s unclear whether her detention was retaliation. As of Thursday afternoon, she was in Alabama en route to an ICE processing center in Louisiana.

Something I don’t think can be emphasized enough is how fast ICE is shipping the people they detain off to another state. “Move fast and break things” but for people in potentially life or death situations. nashvillebanner.com/2026/03/05/j...

ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools — purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration — to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.

Kansas Town Uses License Plate Readers to Go After Man Who Wrote Op-Ed | ACLU Targeting followed opinion piece critical of town’s police and anonymously posted anti-ICE fliers

Everything we said would happen is happening. I don’t know how many other ways I can say this.

The fact that I have to carry around my passport because my license isn’t enough right now is fucked up on so many levels.

South Nashville is swarming with agents now.

It was alarming to hear a company whose approach is to pay fines rather than comply with regulations repeatedly answer simple questions with "we will comply with applicable law"

We know they will not.

I’ve never been so shaken by reporting. They didn’t even see us as people. I have a lot to say, but I need to collect my thoughts.

Fuck ICE. Fuck the THP.
