" I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas."

Meanwhile trump is saying ice agents will retaliate even stronger against any protestors

He needs violence to drown out the Epstein files

This is pretty nuts. A man here from Liberia since he was 6, broke into his home without a warrant, took him to a holding cell, shackled them in an open area with a shared toilet. Only to let him go… then pick him up again

"happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now."

"ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed. If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too."

^^^For all these folks resigning in protest….don’t they realize that their spots might likely get filled with more sycophants?

I'd rather know how many time Amazon Ring had turned over footage to ICE that aided in deportation.

Not enough of these jerks getting arrested. Essentially none.

^6 that testimony was what I expected but it is also terrible

our country MUST hold these criminals accountable

2/12/2026 10:58:22 AM

The problem is that these guys are being lumped into the general group of “law enforcement.” I do not see these people as “law enforcement”. They are a group of people given authority to enforce what should be a very narrow set of laws. If there is any need to get physical, they should call in local law enforcement. These assholes shouldn’t be armed with anything stronger than pepper spray.

" Rep. Jamie Raskin • @RepRaskin • 9h I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it's for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We're demanding immediate answers and action."
