White House propaganda.
The White House manipulated this image to deceive the public. Same moment, altered expression, manufactured narrative. That’s intentional.
And yes, it looks racist. Using a doctored image of a Black woman to signal criminality isn’t subtle. Expect more of this.

And it's a perpetual motion machine:
funding leads to profit, leads to big political donations, leads to lobbying for more arrests, leads to more jails...
Rinse and repeat.
This is not fueled by popular demand.
This is corporate capture.

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.
ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

The Senate will vote on the DHS funding bill next week and it can’t pass without Democratic votes.
That means Democrats have real leverage to rein in ICE, but they won’t use it unless we force them to.

Hearing David Plouffe on the Bulwark warning that Trump never backs down - implying there's no chance he won't invade Greenland - was a nice reminder that the DC groupthink that always tells us to move to the right, never to stand up for American workers, is not only cowardly, but usually wrong.

The voters who wanted to "deport the worst of the worst" and to "control the border" did NOT vote for masked thugs to break down doors to kidnap random people to other countries without any legal process.
Trump's DHS needs to be replaced by an actual law enforcement agency.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

This is insane not just the explicit "go break the 4A" substance but how they knew how bad it was, acting in guilty paranoia to cover it up and suppress the written evidence.
This isn't how running a government agency works. This is what a criminal conspiracy looks like, because that's what it is.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

What's bonkers is that - tho this is a childish reason - the real reason is worse: Trump & his machine will absolutely ANYTHING, even destroying the system that gave 80 yrs of relative peace, to hide proof in the Epstein files that Trump & friends are child rapists or killers.
Just to be clear: the President is single-handedly dragging America to economic crisis and war with our closest allies.
And why? To conquer an overseas territory that we have no claim to, have never had a claim to, and already have military bases on.
Oh, and because he didn’t get a prize.

Since ICE are not law enforcement, I wouldn't bother looking for LE reasons. It's like sucking up all data in people's electronics when they cross the border, like using face recognition SW on ICE phones to find excuses to kidnap people, like throwing people face down on the asphalt... to scare us.
There are numerous reports across the Twin Cities on ICE monitoring pages of drones circling apartment buildings. What valid law enforcement reason could there be for this?
