immigration news record keeping account plus brief explainers
Pinned
simple truth is that they hate you. act accordingly in 2026.

let's keep fighting these monsters because no night has never ended before.
DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

in the same vein i
have already seen people asking for body cameras on ice agents like that has ever stopped any police from committing murders on the job

just more money to the gestapo, that oughta fix things!!

journalist evacuating family from minneapolis tonight

they won't stop until they are stopped
We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

my most woo woo belief is to not have their voices in my head as a protective measure for my brain

i don't watch news videos with sound if at all, i didn't know musk voice until 22, i skip podcast snippets and i loathe impressions of trump

absolutely do not watch violent videos just because
January 9, 2026 at 7:48 PM
this is it

that is all

i will not watch it but i understand some people will, and i'm grateful for the reports on it

act like they hate you, because they do

you do not hate them enough
they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.
January 9, 2026 at 7:40 PM
please understand they hate you and are happy to have you off this earth!!!
Of course they aren't posting snuff video because they think it's exculpatory.

They're posting snuff video because their base takes pleasure in viewing that sort of content.

developing story of another shooting done by federal agents

reposting again for clarity: 100 miles border zone gives cbp EXTRA authority, they can operate within the entire us

read the experts on it:
Quick note about this again; the 100 mile zone has nothing to do with Border Patrol’s ability to operate. They can operate anywhere in the country.

The 100 mile zone is ONLY about where they have heightened stop and search powers.

It’s not a jurisdictional thing.
Why is Border Patrol in Chicago? It's not inside 100 mile limit.

start with what it is (not what it isn't)
focus on why they're lying (not their lies)
make it about them (not her)
eat their frame
I feel like this is extremely relevant again

Not “this was not self-defense” but “this was murder”

Not “she didn’t run the ICE agent over” but “she was murdered while trying to drive away”

Fascists manipulate social media and the news to reinforce every single thing they say. The odds are already incredibly stacked against the illusion of objectivity. It's a losing game. There has to be relentless countering and overpowering, not benefit of the doubt or any offerings of plausibility.

They are pushing *propaganda*, and if you do not counter it with something equally forceful or stronger, then you're going to keep losing. They manipulate information and data instead of pretending that seeing it “objectively” will change hearts and minds. Please understand this.

No one who doesn't want to be convinced will be moved by the forensic accounts undertaken by the media but it's still good that they offer the accounts. Not because people will be convinced but so that others can tell accurate stories.

I keep emphasizing this point because I am worried that some US citizens who are doing rapid response may have the false belief that it is illegal for ICE/Border Patrol to arrest them, and out of this incorrect belief respond in ways that make it *more likely* they get arrested or brutalized.
Flatly wrong. No, it is not true that ICE only has jurisdiction over immigration issues and can’t arrest citizens. Immigration officers have authority to criminally arrest anyone for any “offense against the United States” (interfering with a federal officer would count) and any felony they witness.
I'm hearing a lot of talk that they did not have legal authority to compel a U.S. citizen to exit her car, what's your take on that?

i do not share images or videos for yhe most part becauae i believe in this

when i do share something, i use the quote post to avoid even the thumbnail to show plus a warning, which i think to be helpful

news links and text for info, please
literally anybody whose *actual job* involves having to watch atrocity videos will tell you it's hugely psychologically self-destructive and not something you should voluntarily put yourself through on a daily basis.
Nobody is supposed to be able to "handle" witnessing atrocity and those who think they can are lying to themselves! You're fucking yourself up to feel holy! That's a hairshirt!

and of course, shootings are not the only way the regime is killing people

many reports of severe injuries and deaths due to immigration crackdowns last year and also record number of deaths in prisons and concentration camps alike

they will not stop on their own

having papers will not save you

That video shows a murder. Full stop.

A bajillion dollars spent on consultants and endless obsession over squashing the left to protect party messaging just to produce this.

You can care about the President's reckless and illegal imperialism and his economic incompetence at the same time, but this just trivializes both.
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.

Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

great report about another pending asylum case being profiled and arrested, having his legal documents ignored by gestapo
New: I spoke with a Colombian asylum seeker who was the victim of a ‘Kavanaugh stop’ about what it was like to be racially profiled, abducted in front his family and held in ICE detention hours from home for more than a month—despite doing everything “the right way.”

This is Nick’s story.

Our first investigation of 2026 is live! We found one of the largest immigration legal service providers in TX had funding cut by the Trump admin for 2 weeks before a judge ordered it reinstated. RAICES declined to take it, but blamed the cuts in legal documents for why it dropped child clients.
