ICE has now spent over $2.2 BILLION on purchasing 4 private prisons from CoreCivic, with the company banking half a billion dollars on the most recent sale. Of course, ICE will not actually operate these facilities; CoreCivic keeps the contracts to run these places for the foreseeable future.

Senator Banks calls the Supreme Court’s decision not to change the law on birthright citizenship “the worst Supreme Court decision of my lifetime.” Keep in mind that he was born and lived his entire life under the legal interpretation of the 14th Amendment the Court kept in place.

The Trump administration has now canceled the contract that provided legal services for unaccompanied immigrant kids. That means thousands of children across the country, including hundreds being held in detention, are losing access to government-provided legal representation. (1/5)

@abdulelsayed.bsky.social triumphing over something like $60 million, $32-ish million of it AIPAC money, is not a "narrow" victory, it's a people's earthquake. This kind of spending is oligarchy in action, to smother democracy through its formal channels, and is getting normalized. Still he won.

ANOTHER death in ICE custody, this time at the controversial Delaney Hall facility. This makes 54 deaths since Trump took office; 1 every 8 days in 2026. His mother says he was denied adequate medical care for chronic conditions, a common accusation ICE has strenuously denied.

After ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Araujo, the FBI leaked to Fox News a claim that he was found with possible meth in the van. His family said it was a total falsehood; it was a bag of salt to be used to make an electrolyte drink. And they were right. It was not drugs.

We can confirm the substance found in Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's van tested negative for narcotics/ illicit drugs.
We are not commenting further on the test results, as the investigation is pending.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.
