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.

DHS is set to deploy a Palantir-built system that maps neighborhoods and assigns “deportation scores,” plotting real people on a map and estimating how likely they are to be at specific addresses.

The California Department of Water Resources recently shared that in the last five years it has “restored thousands of acres of tidal wetlands and floodplains in the Delta, claiming these projects are already benefiting endangered fish". We say, “Sure, Jan." 🙂

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

What could go wrong? The government paid Palantir to create a program called ELITE to give people deportation scores.
This is the Palantir’s CEO Alex Karp talking about when it’s “necessary to scare enemies & on occasion kill them.”
This program is currently being used in Minneapolis.

What’s happening to Greenland isn’t abstract geopolitics.
It’s a direct challenge to sovereignty—by the world’s most powerful state.
When a superpower treats land like inventory, the rules-based order is already under attack.

The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear.

Please call your reps and tell them NOT to fund this government
Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.
