Mr. Sim lived in the US for 43 years. He was ordered deported 20 years ago after a larceny conviction. Because Cambodia wasn’t accepting deportations, he was allowed to stay on an order of supervision.

After 20 years, he was suddenly arrested at an ICE check-in and sent to detention, where he died.

ICE goons pointed a gun at a U.S. citizen’s head and then pinned him to the pavement with knees in his back while taunting, "We own you now." He was then taken away and interrogated in an attempt to force a false confession.

Defund this madness.

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality.

Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:
For ICE to build concentration camps quickly, they're leaning on this Dept. of War program

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election.

Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.

Incredible story that is worth your time to read. It exposes the ways in which the Trump admin is turning the legal immigration system into yet another arm of the mass deportation machine, transforming a benefits agency into a trap for those seeking legal status.

Tricia McLaughlin is reportedly out at DHS, according to multiple sources. She’s a very close ally of Noem.

That news, plus stories like the below which are coming out daily, strongly suggest the knives are clearly out for Noem inside DHS.

ICE shot a man in the leg who posed no threat and had no criminal record. They then falsely accused their victim of serious felonies to try to cover it up.

Didn't work. Their lies were exposed and charges dropped with prejudice.

The goons should serve the time they tried to pin on their victims.

Your regular reminder that since August of last year, Mr. Abrego has agreed to be deported to Costa Rica, but the Trump admin refuses to do so because they want to instead punish him by sending him to an African country that will most likely detain and then deport him to El Salvador for the admin.
