We Found More Than 40 Cases of Immigration Agents Using Banned Chokeholds and Other Moves That Can Cut Off Breathing

The First Amendment protects journalists who receive and report information of public concern even if the source broke the law. Raiding a reporter’s home is an extraordinary step that raises serious press-freedom concerns.

We're so broken. This is heartbreaking.
"When Scott walked into their bedroom, Graham was face down in bed, her body cold when he touched her. The two men pulled her down to the floor to start CPR, but it was too late. SJ stood in his crib, silently watching as they realized."
A Pregnant Woman at Risk of Heart Failure Couldn’t Get Urgent Treatment. She Died Waiting for an Abortion.
In a state that had legislated its commitment to life, Graham spent her final days struggling to find anyone to save hers.

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

If even a small part of what survivor Sascha Riley describes in these audio tapes is correct, it is unsurprising why the current oval office occupant is so desperate to change the topic anyway he can.
Riley sounds utterly credible. He names names.
Devastating.

This prompted me to go look for other users with 1488 in their name. There are a lot! Most of them have not posted (yet). Can someone add them to a blocklist please?

Useful info.
Quick notes from a YouGov user:
1. This only polls citizens, not all American adults as the one-day YouGov poll out yesterday did.
2. Since 2025, YouGov polls have been more positive for Trump relative to other national pollsters than they were from 2015-2024, when they were probably less positive.

Wow — New YouGov / Economist poll:
46% support abolishing ICE
43% oppose abolishing ICE
This is the first time that abolishing ICE has received net positive support

History matters. The Gilded Age was a brutal time in history with rampant income inequality and corruption.
We remember how the elite fell in the crash of 1893 and the fight for unions, but...
“The real end of the Gilded Age came with the assassination of William McKinley,” says Waugh.

Why Did the Gilded Age End?

I’m still looking into the Sascha Riley stuff. This appears to be his Twitter account. It corroborates the accusations, with much earlier timestamps.
I screenshot to show the dates and how few likes or retweets the original posts had.
