Forced face scanning of a U.S. citizen with zero cause, just bald racial profiling. This is tech fascism.
Mubashir and his family came to the United States as refugees from Ethiopia when he was a child, and they all became naturalized citizens in 2019.

Despite being a U.S. citizen, Mubashir was targeted by ICE, assaulted, and detained. Listen to his story:

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

For those of you wondering, it's a lousy Christmas in our house. I sold my head so I could buy my dear, loving partner Michael a new treadmill, but he sold his legs so he could buy me a new fedora. I'm sure I'll laugh about it one day. But not today. Mainly because at the moment I have no head.

There have been nearly 90 emergency calls made on behalf of immigrants held at the Camp East Montana, according to call logs I obtained. The calls include reports of suicide attempts, vomiting blood and chest pain. At no point was U.S. Veronica Escobar informed on her visits.

About 90 emergency 911 calls have been made from the Camp East Montana immigration detention center in El Paso, Texas, during the 15 weeks since it opened.

Say what you will about Dick Cheney, but not allowing Trump and Vance go to his funeral is pretty fucking epic.

Have you heard the claim that the Catholic Church profits off migrant crisis? That was planted by JD Vance. And now it’s viral.

In the next few minutes, I’ll show you how the lie spread, where the data contradicts it, and why it matters — not just for the faith, but for politics and humanity.
JD Vance Is Lying — Catholic Church Doesn’t Profit Off Migrants
A baseless claim from MAGA’s Catholic poster boy has gone viral again after the U.S. bishops stood up against Trump-Vance's deportation raids. Pope Leo and the bishops are setting the record straight.

One of the most fascinating parts of the Trump presidency: two of the biggest bulwarks against Trump's descent on American cities are largely women willing to photograph and film ICE agents and Catholic priests and bishops willing to accompany migrants to court. You see both in Chicago.

The entire scene looks like Norman Rockwell painted The Death of Empathy, directed by Jeffrey Dahmer and executive produced by Satan. Hang this next to The Scream and the painting would lean over and whisper, Is that guy okay.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...
