Over 1000 people have been disappeared from Alligator Auschwitz. How long has Broadview been operating, shooting ministers in the head? Just a disabled Mom, sharing what I can, because I can't walk in the protests

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?

OTG thread about ICE shooting. Rumored (NOT confirmed) victim is Richard Noticias LA, TikTok livestreamer who keeps community informed about news on street like ICE raids.

Many conflicting reports and finger pointing. DHS is the agency who cried wolf, so not credible unless verified by video.

Greetings! I’m here in South LA, in front of Santee High School. Federal law enforcement rammed a vehicle, and shot at least one suspect during a law enforcement operation. One man who streams on Tik Tok, Nick, was reportedly hit. One US marshal hit. Lots of preliminary info.

Contradicting ICE’s version,

“Investigators believe gunfire erupted after an ICE officer … smashed a [car] window with their service weapon...

While attempting to grab the suspect, … the agent’s weapon discharged, striking both the suspect and a deputy US marshal.”

Photos obtained exclusively by Law Dork on Tuesday show that President Donald Trump is completely demolishing the East Wing of the White House as part of his stated plan to build a ballroom befitting his standards on the White House grounds.

NEW: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-demo...

Another angle that shows how much of the East Wing is just ... gone.

Trump is now openly shaking down HIS OWN JUSTICE DEPARTMENT for hundreds of millions of dollars to line his pockets… while claiming there’s not enough money for Americans’ health care.

He has no shame. He is openly and boldly corrupt.

Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

Trump’s new ballroom you’re paying for is going to be bigger than the White House itself. Because he believes he is more important than the country.

The symbolism is disgraceful and obvious. Again: Republicans would lose their minds if Obama did this.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.
