How the fuck is this “mind-boggling?” No one wants to come in here out of a very understandable fear they’ll be either shot or thrown into a concentration camp by ICE.

This is a human rights abuse worthy of prosecution under intentional law. Minimally, they should be impeached and removed for this alone.

The world's leading AI firms say the technology is careening out of control and could cause a global catastrophe. A sundowning octogenarian president who uses AI to post images of himself looking like Rambo says this is a Chinese hoax. For busy technologists, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Equatorial Guinea is a dictatorship run by the same man since 1978, with his children running large portions of the state now. We paid this dictatorship millions of dollars to let us deport random people there. Our money was used for this inhumanity.

The Supreme Court invited exactly this when it held that the president's attempt to conduct "sham" "investigations" was a core executive power immune from all regulation, including criminal prosecution, in Trump v. United States.

This is a good example of the fear that ICE has engendered in so many. A man here completely legally with nothing (on paper) to fear from ICE took off running when they showed up at a gas station and was struck by a passing truck. Awful.
