The fascist brutality of these people boggles the mind. Hope to visit them in their prison, someday.
The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

What I don't get is why every mayor and governor isn't telling people to call 911

* and using this as an opportunity to shove the dirty/rotten cops out the airlock
TEXAS — “Get out of my house!! U.S. and they’re inside my house with no warrant. They broke a window.”

Trump’s ICE goons terrorize a citizen family, including attacking a man when he closes the door as they leave.

Terrorizing families.

US Marshalls don't work for K.L.A.N. Noem. That poor idiot's probably getting terminated with prejudice.

* Don't worry: a dollar store near you will eventually have an opening. And Russia is always a great option!

** if you like getting killed by Ukraine drones
TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

I think he's old enough to have outgrown childhood traumas, if he weren't 100% committed, personally, to his values as a malignant narcissist. Eventually, your choices are on you.

Any Democrat wants my primary vote better commit 100% to tearing down the ballroom and all the rest and rebuilding Kennedy Center. Hint: you will lose without people like me.

AND FUCK ICE -- SO SAY WE ALL!
Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #abolishice #iceout #palantir #paloalto

Yay!
NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.

Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

"operating in the black" -- it's always about race with some people
I can say without any fear of contradiction that I know as much or more than anyone in modern American journalism about the absolute, no excuses necessity of operating in the black. In many cases much more since if you’re a big player there are lots of creative ways to operate ….
