Inspector General Report: ‘Alligator Alcatraz” Was Nothing More Than An ICE Concentration Camp

The true nature of hastily erected ICE detention facilities -- especially the so-called "Alligator Alcatraz" erected in Trump buddy Ron DeSantis's home state -- was called out by Mike Masnick shortly after its debut last June: There’s no way to look at what the US government is doing here and not think of it more...

Appeals Court Rejects ICE Detention Policy, Comparing It To WWII Japanese Internment

Ever since Trump's return to office, almost every federal law enforcement agency has been ordered to treat illegal immigration as their first priority. This is why the administration is gutting FEMA to direct more dollars to detention and removal efforts. And that's why ICE is now the administration's largest law enforcement budget line item. To...

White House Website Briefly Hosted Racist Tetris Clone Game Until The Tetris People Complained

Pick your favorite zombie movie or television show and you'll eventually be confronted with dialogue justifying the killing of the zombies with the idea that they are no longer human. "They aren't people, Rick. They're just bodies. We have to stop thinking of them as if they're still alive." - The Walking Dead "They're not...

Working With ICE Is So Toxic, ICE Is Now Offering Liability Insurance To Local Police Officers

If you're worried about the bad optics of working with ICE, the federal government is here to help subsidize your recovery from mass deportation conjunctivitis. If you're worried about the personal negative side effects of buddying up to ICE's masked kidnapping squads, the administration is here to assure cops that it might cover some of...

DOJ Issues Memo Saying There’s Nothing Illegal About The Military Arresting Migrants

A little more than a year ago, the Trump administration pushed a novel legal theory in order to juice its migrant arrest stats. It was a two-part process. First, the administration unilaterally declared expansive areas near US military bases to be "national defense areas." This meant that areas surrounding bases -- like (especially) Fort Bliss...

Administration Escalates Deportations To Haiti As Violent Gang Attacks Escalate In Haiti

I can't assume the Trump administration hoped this would happen. But I can't believe no one in the administration (Trump, Stephen Miller, Tom Homan) isn't secretly thrilled that this has happened. The administration managed to revoke temporary protected status for Haitian refugees in America, a decision that affects nearly 350,000 people. The revocation of this...

ICE Worked With Iran To Deport Iranians Back To A Country Trump Repeatedly Claimed Was Harming Iranians

The Trump administration has been working steadily to remove protected status for asylum seekers that even Trump admits are deadly "shitholes." Trump makes claims about countries that seem to indicate they're too dangerous to live in, but then insists there's no reason we shouldn't be allowed to deport migrants to places where they're likely to...

ICE Opportunism Expands To Passengers On Domestic Flights

Things used to be normal. We used to be doing alright here in the United States, limiting ourselves to catching people at the borders or picking up migrants with criminal charges or convictions with detainers at local jails. Now, it's just a constant swarm all day, every day. "Worst of the worst" has long been...

Trump’s Mass Detention Policy Shut Down By Two Appeals Courts On The Same Day

The Trump administration has been shut down more than 10,000 times by federal courts over its novel interpretation of the law -- one it claims allows it to indefinitely detain migrants without giving them a bond hearing. Some of those 10,000 adverse decisions have been significant, with implications that stretch far beyond single cases or...

Administration Admits It’s Canceling Federal Grants For Purely Political Reasons

We all know this administration is more than willing to reward "red" states and punish "blue" states. There will always be an administration official on hand to claim the incredibly transparent vindictiveness of this administration is actually just regular government business devoid of animus. No one believes these officials, of course. And the officials mouthing...
