BIG NEWS. Senator Gallego joins the growing list of elected officials giving back donations received by ICE's tech backbone, Palantir. Palantir profits from surveillance, detention, and deportation of immigrants—our elected officials must stand with the people, not Big Tech billionaires.

The Trump administration's rush to detain immigrants on an unprecedented scale is creating dangerous, deadly conditions. Camp East Montana is ICE's largest detention center — and the conditions inside reveal significant human rights abuses. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/07/20/locked-away

Inside ICE’s Largest Detention Center

On a military base in West Texas, where the government has built a sprawling tent complex to hold thousands of immigrants, deprivation and dire conditions are part of the design.

We cannot accept this as a new baseline of enforcement. We must organize against this violence and to claw back these funds from ICE and DHS. Rather than more chaos, cruelty and cages, Congress must build pathways to citizenship that treat people with dignity and respect.

“I was just a body that they crammed into a room, almost as if to be forgotten.” Confined, overcrowded, inhumane conditions deprived people of their basic rights at 26 Federal Plaza. Rather than end this inhumane detention policy, ICE kept it.

ICE officials warned of dangerous crowding. See how they kept packing people in.

Dozens were held for days in small rooms last year with no beds, showers or full-time medical staff, records analyzed by The Post show.

BIG NEWS! DHS has confirmed that ICE will not open the planned ICE detention warehouses in PA! Just last week, Jesús Manuel Arenas-Silva became the 50th individual to die while in immigration detention since Trump's 2nd term. Public pressure is working—together, we're saying #CommunitiesNotCages!

ICE cannot be trusted in our communities, in our streets, and obviously, our personal data. By sharing sensitive Medicaid data with its Big Tech backbone, Palantir, ICE has once again shown its carelessness. We demand answers.

More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 2w ago

ICE shared Medicaid data it wasn't supposed to have in the first place with Palantir. First Medicaid officials shared data about millions of people with ICE. ICE then shared that data with Palantir, according to a new court filing reported on by @NPR. /1

"It really breaks my heart for the families because I understand the nightmare they're going through," said Rachel Reyes. Her son, Ruben Ray Martinez, was killed by an ICE agent during a traffic stop in 2025.

Children living under the Trump administration's mass deportation agenda are no longer offered the protections that have kept them safe. Forcing young people to spend weeks or months in detention and putting their lives at risk by ordering their deportation is not good policy—it's just cruel.
