The conditions in Burlington are horrific, but it should be underscored that there is no such thing as a humane concentration camp
Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.
ICE detainees from Maine being held under ‘inhumane’ conditions in Mass. facility, attorneys say
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said the allegations of overcrowding and lack of access to lawyers are false.

Are there no municipal or state laws that can shut down these facilities for health code and fire code violations?
Please do an unscheduled inspection of the Burlington ICE facility, @moulton.house.gov, @markey.senate.gov & @warren.senate.gov.
This is unconscionable.

another note about Mejía's upset win: abolish ICE was her central message. on her mailers, on her socials, on her website landing page, on the stump, if voters knew one policy position from her it was that one.

Massachusetts won’t stand by, and neither will I. Immigrants strengthen our communities. I’m proud to join colleagues advancing legislation to create a buffer between ICE and our residents, limit collaboration, and protect our neighbors.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Another federally-funded murder.
Not another dime to DHS until we see prosecution and accountability.
No more masked executioners on our streets.
No more lives ended at the hands of government.

Let’s be clear about something: This was an execution.
Rep. Moulton voted No on the Homeland Security approps bill this week.
Not a single Democratic Senator should vote Yes on that funding bill now. We cannot provide more resources to ICE or CBP. None of this is acceptable.

Video of the Minneapolis shooting on Reddit shows a group of ICE agents beating a man on the ground. One of the ICE agents then steps back and shoots the victim multiple times.
A nearby witness says “they killed the guy.”

Horrific. Trump’s federal agents shot and killed another person.
Republicans in control of Congress could put a stop to this chaos.
Enough. Get ICE out of Minnesota, stop funding this violence, and end the assault on our communities.

It appears that ICE executed a man on the street.
This violent agency must be abolished and every agent involved in this murder must be held accountable.

This rogue agency is terrorizing our communities. This must stop NOW.
DHS funding runs out on January 30th. Congress is now negotiating a $1.2 Trillion DHS funding bill. We cannot spend another cent on state-sanctioned violence.

It's almost like the issue isn't training but the fact that these are terrible human beings working for inherently violent agencies.
ICE agents are trained on CPR but "It took more than 10 minutes after Macklin Good was shot by a federal immigration officer before someone gave her CPR." They also prevented a medical professional on the scene from intervening. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

1. Yesterday, millions showed up to the No Kings Rally.
Perhaps no one Rally was as full of subtext as Boston's, however.
Senator Markey showed up wearing a trans pride flag. His challenger, anti-trans Dem Rep. Seth Moulton showed up to boos and jeers.
