> “What are the names of the ICE agents who killed my dad? Why do they get to be protected by anonymity while my brother and me stand before cameras…?”
Salgado: We still have so many questions. What are the names of the ICE agents who killed our dad? It’s been two and a half months, and we still don’t have my dad’s belongings back. Aside from some change that he kept in his pocket, we don’t have his wallet or his phone… We have no idea where his things are or who might have them.

Failing to provide insulin to a type 1 diabetic is torture. ICE must be disbanded

if you’re left flank: stop conceding on oppositional framing. be strong. be bold. be brave. have moral conviction. use every opportunity in the spotlight to reframe the issues back to things you want to implement and things trump failed to.

Chicago spent $136.9M on police overtime during the first half of 2026 — nearly 70% of the entire budget the City Council set aside for police overtime as part of the city’s spending plan, according to records published by the city’s watchdog. @wttw news.wttw.com/2026/07/17/chi…

A rocket hasn't been fired from Gaza in 18 months. And Hamas has handed administrative control over to a technocratic interim committee. Yet the apartheid state continues killing children daily. Almost as if it's a holocaust and not a war

So Trump changed the inspection requirement for ICE facilities from twice a year to every other year. Five have no inspection on record at all. We won't know the true depth of the horrors they're covering up for many years.

NEW: Chicago taxpayers spent nearly $259 million in 2025 to resolve lawsuits alleging CPD officers committed a wide range of misconduct — including wrongful convictions & improper pursuits, according to a city report required by the consent decree. @wttw news.wttw.com/2026/07/10/chi…

MAGA: “If you’re here legally, you have nothing to worry about.” Also MAGA: “Just comply and show your ID.” The reality: A U.S. citizen. Born in Colorado. Mother of four. Stopped in Lafayette, Louisiana. Shackled. Detained in an ICE facility anyway. She showed agents her state-issued ID and Social Security card. ICE reportedly called them “fake,” handcuffed her, chained her ankles, interrogated her, and transported her to a detention center. She was released hours later only after legal intervention. The lesson is not “show your papers.” The lesson is that papers don’t protect you when power decides not to read them. This is not “law and order.” This is state abuse. Fight Trump.

This is an American tragedy. All those babies lives are forever changed.
A new analysis suggests that more than 100,000 children have been separated from their parents during the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. And roughly three-quarters of those children are likely U.S. citizens. trib.al/ryqXpUa

🚨THIS STORY IS INSANE: Photos suddenly gone. A website scrubbed. Stock photos depicted as company execs. A business "partner" that says they've never worked together. The Trump admin gave a no-bid multimillion-dollar contract to surveil immigrants to a firm steeped in mystery.

Politico reported that in analyzing 11,600 immigration cases over the past 10 months, federal judges had ruled against ICE in more than 10,400 of the cases or roughly 90% of cases, a stunning rebuke of Trump's immigration policies. Yeoman's work by @kyledcheney politico.com/news/2026/05/13…

ICE detain high school senior—days before graduation. "They chained my feet, my waist, and my hands," he said. "I told them I was a student, they said it didn’t matter." "Agents now wake us up at 4:00am every day to eat—but there’s only 1 plate and 1 spoon for 8 people—we have to share." Luis Fernando Cabrera was pulled over for a traffic stop by Texas Department of Public Safety—who then called ICE. He was driving home from working nights to support his family—in time to take his nephew to daycare in the morning. Luis was a good student as well as a star soccer player at Northeast Early College High School in Austin, Texas.

Trump, Miller, and Markwayne have decided to close the office responsible for investigating misconduct and abuse in immigration detention centers. Yeah, you read that right. Despite 49 deaths of detained immigrants, detention centers will operate and profit without oversight. It is clearer than ever: Reforms are not enough! Congress must STOP funding DHS, pass my Melt ICE Act, and dismantle DHS.
