Last year when I wrote about prison staff jumping ship for ICE, I reported that BOP had lost a net of at least 1400 employees by late fall.

I just got new data showing they lost a net of ~1700 by mid-December -- though w/EOY retirements the final 2025 figures will likely be higher.

Avelo Airlines says it will stop flying deportation flights for DHS later this month, calling the program too costly & operationally complex.

The company will close its Mesa, AZ base tied to deportation flights on 🗓 Jan. 27

For a literal decade the official CBP policy has been “don’t stand in front of or behind vehicles” because the decade before that their internally commissioned studies found that agents were putting themselves in front of vehicles so as to shoot the occupants
Because he put himself in front of the car to have an excuse to shoot!

Or CBP. Much of the enforcement we are seeing in the interior is a result of increased presence of CBP and former Border Patrol agents who have terrorized border communities for decades. We have long accepted abusive policies implemented at the border thinking it will protect people in the interior.

Ending the Avelo contract with DHS also a big win. And a place where, as with many fights against logistical networks, local action against a national or international problem can be surprisingly effective. New Haven is its biggest airport! And they got the mayor against the airline.

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

The elephant in the room, of course, is that if Democrats like Frey really do want ICE out of Minneapolis, they’re going to have to support policies that take away their money and power, that defund them, you might say.

The abolition of ICE is now the bare minimum.

The execution of Renee Nicole Good lays bare the necessity of a full reckoning with the systems of violence and oppression.

These structures are beyond reform, they require revolution.

Abolish ICE is just the beginning
For Renee Nicole Good, we need a revolution.

Indeed. Border communities & people arriving at the border have long been plagued by CBP abuses that people in the interior are only now having to contend with. Decades of beefing up their ranks & justifying rights stripping policies at the border has enabled the abuses we see in the interior today.
Many scholars of authoritarianism saw ICE & CBP as a likely source of secret police if Trump returned to power.

Biden responded by increasing their funding and ranks.

Pro tip for ruling parties facing authoritarian opposition: don’t fund your opponent’s secret police while they’re out of power.

With all that is going on in the world, it might be easy to overlook that the D.C. Circuit appears to have changed its Special Panel (aka Motions Panel) so that it's no longer in place for a month.

I think this change is both really important and really good.
