ICE’s Lies About A Man Officer Ran Over Undone By Footage Captured By Nearby CCTV Camera

Here's something ICE pretends has happened: ICE alleged in a statement that "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." ABC13 reached out to an ICE spokesperson, who said agents were attempting to arrest Jose Mendoza-Cervantes, who was their intended target. ICE alleges Mendoza-Cervantes entered the United States illegally from Mexico five...

Court Filings Show DHS Is Collecting Info On Protesters, Feeding It To Palantir

More evidence is piling up that contradicts the almost-but-not-quite denials given by administration officials in response to allegations about the DHS compiling a database to keep tabs on protesters. Just a few months ago, "Immigration Czar" Todd Lyons was trying to turn credible accusations into a nothingburger by deploying a few vague and trite statements...

Trump Officially Opens Border To Thousands More White South Africans

Trump has declared any non-white migrants to be garbage people from shithole countries (that's in his own words, believe it or not) and has acted accordingly. Mass deportation efforts are a daily event, randomly punctuated by court order violations and the occasional murders of US citizens. Trump often wonders why people from Nordic nations aren't...

DHS’s Nevada ‘Illegal Voter’ Claims Have Dropped From 16,000 To 200 To ZERO In Less Than A Month

Donald Trump has been claiming for years that all elections he hasn't (or won't) win are rigged. This also goes for mid-terms -- especially this one -- where Republicans seem likely to lose seats to Democratic Party members. We won't know if Trump will try to become President For Life until 2028, but it seems...

SCOTUS Once Again Allows Trump Administration To Keep Deporting Migrants To Random Countries

The Supreme Court just keeps giving Trump a free pass to engage in what Mike Masnick correctly called "human trafficking." It's stuff this nation has never done before because it's never been run by someone quite like Trump before. To maximize the cruelty inflicted on immigrants, the Trump administration (steered directly by its chief ghoul,...

Documents Expose Even More About Stephen Miller’s Ghoulish Anti-Migrant Directives

Let's start this off by clearing the air: Stephen Miller looks exactly like the sort of person who wants to elevate white people above everyone else. Sure, he doesn't have the Hitler 'stache or a blond pompadour, but he's the same bit of unspectacular "whiteness" Hitler was. Miller is bald, mostly chinless, and looks like...

Trump Orders The FCC To Punish A Reporter. Where Did All The ‘Ministry Of Truth’ Screamers Go?

Remember the Disinformation Governance Board? As we were quick to point out, this organization was named in the dumbest possible way by some incompetent people within the Biden administration, which only fed into the [ahem] disinformation around it. The program, a part of DHS, was an advisory group with no enforcement capabilities, and was tasked...

Trump Administration Is Now Sending More Arrested Migrants To Gitmo

Guantanamo Bay has always been shorthand for disappearing people. It's a place where people cease to exist, along with any rights they may have been afforded if they'd been imprisoned inside the United States. Its name is synonymous with torture and indefinite detention. And the excuse has always been the same: it's impossible to secure...

DHS Starts Dicking Around After Blowing Past Its Deadline For ICE Body Cam Rollout

In what was a severely belated response to acts of violence by immigration enforcement officers, "Border Czar" (who seems far more interested in raiding inland cities than patrolling the border) Tom Homan assured the nation that all ICE officers would soon be wearing body cameras. The only holdup, he said, was a lack of funding....

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...

ICE Officer Who Dodged Extradition To Minnesota Arrested By MN Cops One Day Before His *Federal* Criminal Court Appearance

I love everything about this. I love the way this ICE officer was picked up. I love the fact that his lawyer claims an arrest is the same thing as "surrendering." And I especially love the fact that this officer is in state custody only a day prior to scheduled court appearance to face federal...

Desperate DHS Demanded Info On Beanie Cap Buyers While Trying To Prosecute Journalists

Some day we'll look back at this and laugh. I mean, I would hope so. The DOJ and DHS are still trying to put people in jail for protesting a church whose pastor was also an ICE officer. Ultimately, the protesters entered the church and disrupted the service. Among those entering the church were a...

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...

Court: The First Amendment Allows You To Tell The ICE Director He’s A ‘Sad, Despised Man’

You may recall that back in July we had the ridiculous story of how ICE decided to go all gestapo on its critics, including tracking down and threatening David Streever, who had emailed then-acting ICE director Todd Lyons back in January, after federal agents killed some peaceful protestors in Minnesota. Streever's email was pretty straightforward:...

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...

DOJ Fired Prosecutor, Blocked Assault Charges Against ICE Officer Following Minneapolis Shooting

Let's start out with the obvious (and obviously heartbreaking): this is not related to the multiple times ICE officers have murdered people. Those officers still remain at large and the DOJ and DHS have shown absolutely zero interest in following up on those cases. In fact, when any local agency attempts to do so, they're...

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.

ICE’s Vetting Standards Are So Low It Can’t Even Be Bothered To Verify The Identities Of New Hires

A whistleblower report delivered to the DHS Office of the Inspector General makes it clear ICE is willing to hire pretty much anyone who applies for the job. Keeping up appearances (and by "appearances," I mean constantly pushing for 1,500-3,000 arrests per day) is tough when you don't have the warm bodies to do all...

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...

MS NOW Senior Legal Reporter Lisa Rubin, former Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the DOJ Mary McCord and New York Times Reporter Nick Corasaniti join Alicia Menendez to discuss the latest.

ICE Finalizes Stun Glove Purchase, Claims There’s No Other Way To Handle ‘Violent’ Migrants

This was inevitable. ICE has billions of new money to spend, zero shame, and not a single adult in a leadership position capable (or willing!) to talk the agency off the ledge. ICE decided the neat new tool of cruelty it absolutely had to have were gloves that behave like stun guns or low-powered Tasers....

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...
