As early as this month, ICE may open a new detention facility for unaccompanied children and families in Alexandria, Louisiana, in the former military barracks adjacent to the Alexandria International Airport, notorious as ICE’s busiest mass deportation hub. ACT NOW: bit.ly/nofamilydetentionLA
Like a full third of Americans have criminal records. This is not even counting their loved ones who share financial and practical burdens imposed by those records. Why is the popularity of BLM and critiques of policing always pinned on some sort of “white empathy“ and not widely shared experience?

Thursday at 7 PM ET events.haymarketbooks.org/events/hayma...
Fondly remembering the months of weirdness/unhinged comments we got from Pritzker fiends on this app and others for simply (and accurately!) covering state police attacks on protesters outside Broadview. Godspeed to everyone in Minnesota facing the same from the Walz fan club

It can happen here - in Pa. coal country I went to tiny Tremont, Pa. to see how a former Big Lots warehouse for cheap goods would become an island in a U.S. gulag archipelago, warehousing 7,500 human beings from ICE raids My special report on an American nightmare www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...
From Big Lots to warehousing humans: ICE plan sparks fear in Schuylkill County | Will Bunch
A massive warehouse in Tremont, Pa., that once moved cheap goods will now detain migrants in a $119 million ICE deal.
inquirer.com
23 warehouse sites are being considered by the DHS to imprison as many as 80,000 people if converted into immigration jails — or more if the administration fails to implement safe living standards.
DHS Seeks to Convert Giant Warehouses Across US Into Immigration Jails
A total of 23 converted warehouses could imprison up to 80,000 people, estimates suggest.

As @hebagowayed.bsky.social and I wrote in our Guardian article on abolishing ICE, this is Homan threatening to gun down Americans for using their free speech rights to accurately describe ICE as fascist secret police. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9mo agoHoman: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."
As ICE storms Chicagoland, Chicago’s organizers speak. Stacy Davis Gates, Benji Hart, Arti Walker-Peddakotla, Ric Wilson, and others discuss ongoing ICE raids, Trump’s threats to send in the National Guard, and the solidarity we need to survive these times. Audio + transcript:
Raids, Retaliation, and Radical Solidarity in Chicago
“History shows us that repression always breeds resistance,” says Chicago organizer Miguel Alvelo Rivera.

Legacy media and cable news reduced Trump's aggression against Chicago to a question of whether troops would be sent immediately. When he said he was taking his fascist military spectacle elsewhere, those media players declared the situation over—while waves of federal agents attack our neighbors.
New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:
What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez
Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

For @boltsmag.org & @thenation.com, I went to the farms, livestock sale barns, and roadside bars of Arkansas and the prison towns of Upstate New York to report on how rural communities are changed (or changing) when a prison comes to town. boltsmag.org/arkansas-pri...
The Prison Next Door - Bolts
How Arkansas’ secretive plan for a new state lockup angered residents in a deep red corner of rural America—and changed how some see incarceration.

As the federal government deputizes these federal, state, and local agencies to partake in ICE’s work, it remakes existing infrastructure and political relationships in ICE’s image: remakes them, that is, toward fascism. @jacknorton.bsky.social www.nplusonemag.com/issue-51/pol...

Guys what if we told you the DEA isn't only doing DEA things
unraveled@unraveledpress.com · last yr.NEW: A Palos Heights cop has been disciplined after sharing his password to a vast license plate reader database with the feds. A DEA agent used Detective Todd Hutchinson's login for 24 immigration related searches in late January. We've obtained a memo from PHPD along with chat screenshots:
DHS announced that it will financially reward local law enforcement agencies that carry out its anti-immigrant agenda, effectively creating an incentive system in which the more people wanted by ICE that an agency abducts, the more money it stands to make. truthout.org/articles/tru...
Trump Admin to Financially Reward Police Agencies For Working with ICE
DHS announced a new program that pays law enforcement agencies that help carry out its anti-immigrant agenda.
