Reading Brianna Nofil’s fantastic book “The Migrant Jail” & this is what she has to say about immigration detention already in the first half of the 20th century

Towns and cities throughout the United States recognized detained migrants as a racialized source of financial capital; working with the immigration service became a way to bankroll carceral expansion without requiring the approval (or even the tax dollars) of voters.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Why the artist must take sides @saulwilliams.bsky.social

“Some artists believe they have no place discussing politics, or, at least, politics beyond their scope.

Yet a live-streamed genocide should bring everything into question. A question that becomes: What role can you play? What is within your power to help bring it to an end?”

I used to retell my stories from that day. I have them, of course. Everyone does. But as someone who didn’t lose anyone, or wade through the smoke, I’m particularly concerned, in this historical moment, about avoiding any sense of nostalgia about victimhood in the heart of empire.
