Judge: ICE Officers Can’t Be Trusted And The Only Way To Fix This Is To Put Them On The Stand

We all know ICE officers can’t be trusted. Neither can the agency that heads up most of Trump’s anti-migrant activities. Every murder by immigration officers is immediately greeted with self-justifying lies about “threats” to officers. Every assault gets the same treatment. Every recorded instance of abuse is immediately rebutted by bullshit claims about violent resistance...

Latest Drop By Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoS) Contains Contact Info For 40,000 DHS Employees

Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoS) has been steadily pushing the limits of transparency and accountability for several years now. The project — spearheaded by Emma Best — does what other activists won’t… or perhaps simply don’t have the expertise to carry out. DDoS made a name for itself by hitching Best’s non-stop FOIA onslaught to...

Research Shows ICE Raids Are Killing Local Economies

Contrary to the "worst of the worst" posturing presented by the Trump administration, it's long been known that immigrants (both legal or otherwise) commit fewer crimes than natural-born US citizens: Our consistent finding is that legal immigrants have the lowest incarceration rates, followed by illegal immigrants, and that native-born Americans have the highest. Illegal immigrants...

ICE Arrests Ramp Up, Which Only Continues To Prove Most Migrants Aren’t Criminals

Public furor is hard to maintain. It takes a concerted effort from people who have a lot to lose. Not only do they not have anything to gain (financially or otherwise) from engaging in protests, but they face the real possibility of arrests, job losses, beatings, or actual death. On the other hand, the Trump...

Minneapolis ICE Observer Sues DHS For Its Retaliatory Stripping Of His Global Entry Status

The lowest common denominator administration continues to roll. It doesn't care what's legal or what's proper. It just does what it wants because the shittiest people are in it and its basest of voter bases will feverishly clap their sweaty hands together in applause whenever it does whatever it wants to do. It will be...

DHS Feeding Citizens’ Bank Records To Predictive Policing Units To Find Drivers To Pull Over

Every government does stuff because it can, not because it needs to. But this current administration has been far more opportunistic than most, doing constitutional recon in areas of unsettled law right up until a court rules that it can't. (In some cases, it continues to do these things despite having lost in court.) While...

ICE Officer Hit With Federal Charges After Successfully Dodging Minnesota’s Attempt To Extradite Him On Assault Charges

One of the natural side effects of flooding the zone with hastily hired, poorly trained immigration enforcement officers is an increase in violence and rights violations. Christian Castro may not have been a new ICE hire, but he'd been there long enough to realize the new White House boss had given him and his fellow...

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...

ICE, CBP Officers Prefer To Sexually Assault Children When Committing Crimes

The "worst of the worst" are coming for the "worst of the worst." Of course, this administration has completely given up on this pretense, despite sending out lots of noisy messaging otherwise every time an immigration officer murders a person. For the entirety of Trump's anti-migration surge, it's been obvious that it's all about expelling...

CBP Officers And Contractors Abused Government Databases To Stalk Their Exes

This news will come as no surprise to anyone. Those who have been following police misconduct revelations for years have seen this happen time and time and time and time again. Those who are in the business of engaging in police misconduct have known for years that it's easy to do and it seldom gets...

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...

Screwworm Infections Get Worse, Government Unleashing Drone Army For Surveillance

A couple of months back, we discussed how screwworm infections had reappeared in Texas for the first time in decades. The foreign surveillance program designed to keep this from occurring in partnership with countries south of the border dissipated after losing funding as a result of the DOGE bros deciding it just wasn't worth it....

Rather Than Investigate The Alex Pretti Murder, The DHS Investigated Minneapolis Activist Groups

Two murders in less than a week. That's how the surge went in Minneapolis -- a city targeted because the city and state were run by members of the opposing party. It was political persecution pretending to be a public safety effort. Trump and his administration buddies amplified accusations of government funding fraud. Trump himself...

Protester Charged With Destroying Property After Giving CBP Agents His GrapheneOS ‘Duress’ Mode Passcode

Atlanta, Georgia's attempt to erect a law enforcement officer training center in Atlanta was met by months of concerted protests. As the months stretched into years (the center was announced in 2021 but did not complete construction until 2025), opposition efforts ranged from peaceful protests to heated exchanges during public comment sessions to attacks on...
