Here’s an unedited picture I just took of my asymmetrical, 45-year-old face with no makeup and weird lighting.

Ghana has said publicly over and over and over that anyone ICE sends them will be returned to their country of origin. You have to wonder how long our government is going to claim it’s only aware of this alleged “pledge.”

Yes, I’ve heard from immigration attorney that this is a regular practice on ICE flights to Africa. They will pick 1-10 migrants at random for the WRAP device (basically a straitjacket, sometimes with a hood or spitguard added) as a way to threaten others. “Behave or this will happen to you, too.”

Why grant anonymity to someone who is lying to you with the company line? This adds nothing but misinformation to the story and the person quoted isn't going to get in trouble for saying it.

Was trying to retrieve a link for an old personal essay of mine about being a juvenile offender and was given this completely fabricated AI explanation of my apparently large body of work on juvenile crime.
None of this is true!

I suppose the lawyer thinks this is a very smart bit of wording here, but Lizza’s claim was that Sanford was a *source,* and IT’S ALSO UNACCEPTABLE TO SEND LOVE LETTERS TO A SOURCE

An Omni ICE flight landed in Hanoi four hours ago. It left the Louisiana detention hub where Melissa Tran was being held at 1:15am on Tuesday.

This is what we learned in training. It works really well, it isn’t that hard for petite people like me to carry a larger person, and I think honors someone’s dignity better.

Disability experts!
Does this resemble any dignified method you know of for carrying a person who uses a wheelchair? Because it doesn’t resemble at all what we learned in flight attendant training and looks really uncomfortable.
These are ICE-contracted guards lifting a migrant in ICE custody.

These two are certain ICE removals. One left Mesa, AZ (ICE Air Operations HQ) yesterday, removed Ukrainians to Poland, stopped in Romania (likely crew swap/fuel), and now has landed in Azerbaijan. There are likely more stops.
The other left Alexandria overnight and is about to refuel in Romania.

@jjindc.bsky.social says this is likely a military charter picking up people from exercises in Hawaii, and I think he is probably right. Callsign may be an aberration here.
Still odd, but Omni has two definite ICE flights out right now on their other planes. They probably don’t have three.

Uhhhhhhhh is the New England Patriots team plane doing an ICE flight right now?
It just took off out of ICE detention hub airport. Military charter flights go out of there occasionally too, but with a different callsign. Not certain but very weird! 🤔

I always prefer listening to memoirs and personal essay books, because I think the author’s literal voice gives so much to their written one.
And never has been truer than with @maris.bsky.social great new book, because she also cracks herself up, and you can hear it! 💛
