People with no criminal records now make up the largest group in ICE detention.
They’re also holding children for longer than twenty days after ripping them away from their families.
They’re deporting people in persistent vegetative states.
They’re committing crimes against humanity.

This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks!
50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it.
I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

As people made their way into a naturalization ceremony, ICE officials stopped 38 of the 100 applicants and told them they wouldn't be leaving with U.S. citizenship. The immigrants — who passed every step in the naturalization process — needed only to take the oath of allegiance to become citizens.
Dozens denied oath of allegiance at Indianapolis naturalization ceremony

The guidance changed over the Summer for #NHSStaff to wear ffp3 respirators to protect themselves from airborne transmission. This is vital, especially with 13 million clinically vulnerable unvaccinated this Winter. Would Labour like to explain why there has been no messaging on this?

Former DOJ attorney Liz Oyer just said something that should stop everybody cold:
The Justice Department has started calling Immigration Judges “Deportation Judges.”
She breaks down what that shift means: for due process, for families, & for a system already weaponized against the most vulnerable.
