NEW: A federal tool meant to find noncitizens on voter rolls is consistently marking citizens as noncitizens, especially if they were born outside the U.S., causing chaos as election clerks try not to disenfranchise voters, @zachdespart.bsky.social and I found. 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/save...
“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes.
The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

Hey Democrats, THIS should be your fucking party line!
I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

The FAA is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport, for “special security reasons."

“New law, new trick: get stopped for ‘vibes,’ labeled ‘unadmitted,’ and vanished into detention—no judge, no trial, no timeline. That’s not law and order. That’s legalized disappearance. If this doesn’t alarm you, you’re not paying attention.”

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

I'm skimming through mentions of Trump in the Trump-Epstein Files, and there's one thing that I'm thinking over and over:

All we had to do was believe the women.

There are dozens of stories in here that make me ill. Do you really believe these are all lies?

Mass movements force change. ICE has committed human rights abuses and those responsible must be prosecuted.

As people protest all across the country today, our office is a third space. We are open for mutual aid support, free posters, and bracelet-making for anyone who needs community.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
