Stop ICE's Dangerous Civilian Surveillance Program
Text SIGN PJPTNJ to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to immediately call for congressional hearings on a deeply concerning pilot program being conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This program aims to pay former law enforcement and military personnel $300 per target to physically track immigrants and verify their addresses for ICE enforcement actions. This initiative represents a dangerous escalation of immigration enforcement tactics. It effectively deputizes civilians without proper oversight or training to conduct surveillance on vulnerable populations. There is no indication that licensed private investigators are involved. Instead, the program appears open to members of the general public with law enforcement or military backgrounds. The pilot is reportedly part of a broader ICE plan to use bounty hunters or skip tracers to confirm immigrants' addresses through data mining and physical surveillance. Some recruits were told they would be given vehicles to monitor targets. This raises serious concerns about privacy violations, potential for confrontation, and lack of due process. Jim Brown, president of government contractor Feds United and former ICE official, publicly recruited for this project on LinkedIn in October. While not naming ICE directly, sources confirm the work involves verifying information for the agency. The Department of Homeland Security has already signed a $7 million contract with SOSi for skip tracing services. The scale of this initiative is alarming. ICE documents indicate plans to locate up to 1 million immigrants, with a potential "docket size" of 1.5 million. This represents a massive expansion of surveillance on immigrant communities by untrained civilians. I urge you to call for immediate congressional hearings to investigate this program. We need transparency on its legal justification, operational details, and safeguards against abuse. The use of bounty hunters to track immigrants is a dangerous overreach that demands thorough scrutiny and likely termination before it can expand further.

@repvalhoyle.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social thank you for your efforts so far to move towards justice for the survivors. Plz stay vigilant & LOUD when trump’s dept of (in)justice attempts to further silence & traumatize. #ReleaseTheTrumpEpsteinFiles
Virginia never stopped talking when she was told to go away. Now her family is continuing to speak for her.

We cannot let Trump or the DOJ pull any tricks to stop the release of the Epstein files.

But… we already see higher costs, premiums based on things like smoking, etc. what a sheltered, privileged little snot faced punk.

Call your reps: Congress must publicize Trump's mental decline: He naps through meetings, forgets Hakeem Jeffries’ name, & claims he ended conflicts that don’t exist (Cambodia–Armenia; Azerbaijan–Albania; Pakistan–Iran).

The Epstein bill is headed to Trump’s desk as we speak.

So, what now? Well, a lot of panic, it seems. I have seen every single possible worst case scenario all over social media in the last hour, so let’s go through this step by step. My only request, read the whole thing before commenting.

I consider these records to be part of the #TrumpEpsteinFiles. Release them!!!
Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

Yes. It’s missing the point, when we claim ‘the system is broken’. It’s not, sadly - it’s working just as it was designed.

🤔. If this is a ‘thing’, I want @tinakotek.bsky.social to get on board.
Soft secession

Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.

Donald Trump sent more money to bail out Argentina than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits for just 1 year.

I don't plan to let anyone forget it.

Republicans’ “deal” to end the shutdown is another con — no real ACA fix, just broken promises. Congress must hold the line and stop rewarding hostage-taking with political victories. Text SIGN PFPXLI to 50409 go to: resist.bot/petitions/PF... @resist.bot @campaigns.resist.bot #resist #fucktrump

Yesterday was a Beautiful Fall day. I spent it inside, writing postcards for Dem candidates. @democrats.org screwed us over. I wasted that beautiful day. #DACO instead of #TACO
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

@democrats.org messaging is, to put it bluntly, weak-ass cowardly slop.
I’m traveling overseas (so ignore the timestamp). Just saw this text from my mom. She’s in her late 70s, a lifelong Democrat, and always votes.

Democrats are f*cking this one up and need to get their messaging out ASAP!
