NYT documents a summer ICE surge of immigration arrests
JUST IN: A federal judge has issued a permanent injunction upbraiding ICE for mass arrests that have strained detention facilities and forced detainees all over the country into "overcrowded, squalid, and degrading rooms for excessive periods of time" www.nysd.uscourts.gov/sites/defaul...
from the magnificent Judge Lewis Kaplan
Free the inmates and jail the guards. 🖕ICE
There’s plenty of excess space in detention centers. 1) The cruelty is the point and 2) They are not processing quickly because it’s a money maker for private prisons (concentration camps). We need to sue the owners of these prisons into oblivion.
ICE is set to open a new prison camp for kids in Alexandria, Louisiana, in an airport that’s the largest deportation hub in the US. Will be run by the “nonprofit arm” of for-profit prison company LaSalle Corrections, which is definitely not doing tax evasion. www.thequeenzone.com/a-private-pr...
It was always easy for ICE to terrorize citizens as Miller describes. That's not the point. The point is that this is America—not the Third Reich—and ICE ISN'T TO BE USED THIS WAY. Anyone who can't understand and accept this was NEVER a fan of America, democracy, or rule of law.
Well, shit. This seems to apply only to the ICE regional office at 26 Federal Plaza in New York City. The actual order is here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
An ICE official desposed for this case was so evasive during a deposition that the judge declared her not credible. At one point, when asked to give a rough estimate of how many people were being held at 26 Federal Plaza in NYC in June 2025, she responded with "there's no such thing as an average."
This ruling affirms what we've long known to be true. The holding room conditions at 26 Federal Plaza are completely deplorable.
The American people, in part due to a virtual media blackout, have tolerated what should be intolerable: the illegal and inhumane conditions Trump’s ICE has created for our detained immigrant neighbors. Thank goodness for federal district court judges.

"This is not a time for forgiveness, for looking solely towards the future."
REPUBLICAN DEATH CAMPS. Part of the Republican DEATH TO AMERICA Agenda. Republicans are your number one enemy.
Widespread gross legal and human rights violations going on 2 years now, we are in the midst of a major rip of our social contract
I especially like this passage, where a judge cuts through the bullshit and breaks it down plainly. Arguing with magats becomes so intentionally convoluted as to be exhausting, so that you give up. So to see a judge simply and eloquently bring it back to the basics like this is refreshing.
We need to talk about the unaccompanied minor girls who are becoming pregnant while locked-down in ICE Concentration Camps.
The evil #TrumpRegime repeatedly ignores court orders, mocking courts and the #RuleofLaw. When will these court orders be enforced? By whom? What #Accountability will be executed? The American people are sick of watching these people get away with murder while good folks are persecuted.
Today's Kinzinger Report is out and we cover: - ICE caught wasting millions and hiding its arrest surge - Trump rolls out the red carpet for Xi - Senate Republicans are telling you one thing and doing another - Trump used your tax dollars on a campaign ad open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
Homan already got caught with a bribe, how much is he taking off the top?
#REPUBLICANS timed the #MEDICAID CUTS to NOT hit until 2027, After the midterms! REMEMBER that when you vote! #BlueTsunamiIsComing #VoteBlue2026
He says he is going to meet with Xi two more times this year. He must be really angling for a great performance review.
So many people are complicit in the fugnuttery going on with this so-called "administration", it's just about impossible to know where to start. And that is, at least in part, by design. If we survive this nightmare with any thread of a democratic Republic in place, I will be amazed.
The massive detention center expansions are for us after the cancel the midterms or ignore a blue wave. Anyone who complains or protests will be sent there. So from their point of view those aren’t a waste.
Imagine if the "Tea Party" hadn't laid the foundation for all the shit that happened in 2016 and all the consequences that followed. Imagine Donald was convicted at any of his impeachments. Republicans had the opportunity to rid themselves of this idiotic, narcissistic fascist, but embraced him. 🤦🏼♂️
