We have to stop dehumanizing ICE agents while they are doing their important job of dehumanizing us

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.
This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes.
The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere.
The site is a textbook concentration camp.

I know the media is going to unthinkingly start using “Alligator Alcatraz,” but it’s disgusting and sadistic and I intend to call it what it is, a fucking concentration camp, and fuck those people who are doing this and giving it a cutesy name.

It's of course false to assert, as this reporter does, that leaders of so-called sanctuary jurisdictions are categorically violating the federal harboring statute, 8 USC 1324. The question is intended to introduce some particularly insidious misinformation into the news cycle.
REPORTER: There are laws on the book that make it a criminal offense to harbor illegal immigrants, like sanctuary state leaders have been doing. Do you think they should be prosecuted and possibly put in prison?
HOMAN: Absolutely. And hold tight on that one, because it's coming.

Every Democrat who votes for the continuing resolution - or for ANYTHING this administration is putting forth - needs to go before both their constituents in person, at town halls, & the nation, on TV, & explain in detail WHERE their line is. What WON'T they concede? What WILL they stand up against?
