Do not accept the Senate going on recess in the midst of all of the ongoing crises, United States.

And tell your Reps to act to #CloseTheCamps and #AbolishICE & the Border Patrol.

Where we are: In the middle of the night, by voice vote, the Senate voted to fund most of DHS thru the end of the fiscal year (Sept. 30). ICE and CBP got no new funding. The bill heads to the House for a vote today. Senators have all gone home for 2.5 weeks, meaning the House has to eat this.

"Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids"

(And, no, none of this was okay when it was Biden ordering it either.)

Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids

A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

None of this is over.

Yet again, USA:

Require that your members of Congress do their jobs, #CloseTheCamps, #AbolishICE and the Border Patrol, remove Homan and Miller, and #ImpeachTrump.

ICE says it provides 'proper meals.' Detainees see crystalized jelly, rancid beans and iced bologna

In the business of immigration detention, researchers say, "bad food is the business model."

(This happened at a county jail with an extensive list of abuses that has been almost entirely repurposed to incarcerating people for ICE.)

Hundreds made the two hour drive into the desert to sing outside Adelanto ICE detention center so the people held in cages and cut off from their families, would know they hadn't been forgotten. Word came back through a government messaging line-they could hear us! Adelanto ICE detention has been under fire for years… lawsuits, documented neglect, and federal investigators finding nooses in cells. In 2025 the population jumped to 2,000 without enough staff or medical care to handle it. Multiple people have since died in custody, and advocates say the crisis is far from over. More people need to know what's happening behind those walls.

Judge finds ‘compelling and troubling’ evidence of racial profiling by federal agents in Minnesota • Minnesota Reformer

A U.S. district court judge in Minnesota found “compelling and troubling” evidence that federal agents racially profiled Somali and Latino residents during the immigration crackdown known as Operation Metro Surge. The 111-page ruling by U.S. District Judge Eric Tostrud, an appointee of President Trump, adds weight to claims in a lawsuit brought by the American […]
