On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Hey Democrats. Remember how leftists spent the last 10+ yrs telling you your favorite party leaders where useless GOP collaborators, and how you called us bots and said we don't understand politics?
I think you may be starting to understand what we were talking about now. If so, good on you!

Better training won't fix ICE because it is doing what it was created to do.
Likewise, better voting won't fix the DNC because it is doing what it was created to do.
Same goes for putting better regulations on capitalism.

I find it necessary these days to affirm the obvious because the descent into fascism is mostly a continuous, not discrete, process so here it goes:
these are internal checkpoints by secret police for what is routine freedom of movement.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.
ICE agents to begin checking documents at MSP airport, patrol jet bridges - Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will begin checking documents of travelers and workers at MSP airport, with patrols inside jet bridges.
