800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database.
Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away.
The cruelty is the point.

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

If you say “I’m fine with immigration as long as it’s legal” or “I came the right way” but you’re not sounding the alarm over this, you’re lying.

It’s been 16 years since Congress raised the minimum wage. Meanwhile, folks are out here trying to survive on $7.25 an hour. In this economy?!

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force.
Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

AOC is exactly right; we're going to see ICE used to fill concentration camps with immigrants and opponents of the regime.
It's going to happen on an industrial scale that's in line with examples we associate with the worst regimes of the 20th century.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

They are going to use this money to build concentration camps in the US. Call it what it is.
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

I remember learning in school about the concentration camps set up for ethnic Japanese people on the West Coast duing WWII.
I wondered, how did people let their neighbors get taken away? What fever or mania had gripped the country?
I don't wonder anymore.
