Even as ICE receives $170B in new funding, it has stopped paying for medical care for detainees — including life-saving medications, dialysis, and chemotherapy treatments.
Remember: Over 70% of detainees have no criminal convictions.
Cruelty on steroids.

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power.
Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror.
Grow a spine and vote no.

After illegally abducting Maduro, Trump has just sold $250M of Venezuela's oil to Vitol.
John Addison, a senior trader at Vitol who helped broker the deal, gave $6M to Trump's 2024 campaign.

We already have a term for a detention that does not provide medical care for its detainees. It’s called a death camp.

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. He's using the presidency to line his own pockets and the pockets of those around him. He says he is constrained only by his “own morality.”

2. it's important to show folks, especially business owners, that people get there without a car

Bondi is still angry about the resignation of six prosecutors. “They want to be part of the resistance? Yeah, bring it on,” Bondi said. “They’re not going to be working for Donald Trump and the DOJ any longer.” That’s correct, by resigning, they are no longer working for Trump or the DOJ.

and again in later neo-KKK and “white homeland” movements. In that context, “home” explicitly meant the United States as a white-only nation, and the phrase was used to frame racial violence, intimidation, and exclusion as “reclaiming” the country.

DHS is quoting the KKK on X. At this point, it’s hard to call it anything but AmeriKKKa. “We’ll have our home again” has been used historically in Ku Klux Klan propaganda, chants, and publications, particularly in the early–mid 20th century
