NEW: DHS's Inspector General releases a scathing report about the Everglades detention camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The OIG finds that the now-closed camp, violated multiple ICE standards. The OIG also confirms detainees were punished with placement in a metal cage in the Florida heat.🧵
OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Staff also reported that time spent in the small metal enclosures is closely monitored, and
detainees are not locked in, even though we observed locking mechanisms on the enclosures.
Figures 11 and 12. Small Metal Enclosures; Observed January 21, 2026

Underneath is a picture of a metal cage that is 4 feet 3 inches wide by 4 feet 3 inches long, and 7 feet 9 inches high. The cage itself is placed on a tiny spot of fake turf, and then surrounded by another chainlink fence with razor wire on top. The cage is covered by a roof, but it's entirely exposed to the outside otherwise, meaning mosquitos and no air conditioning.

Naturalized ICE agents must lose their citizenship for their treason and be deported. Every single ICE agent will know who St. Gael is after this ends and their life is turned upside down. No mercy.

New from me on my Political Sandbox Substack: We Shape Our Buildings Parliament can move out for 25 years and spend £15.6bn, or stay put for 60 and spend nearly £40bn. It will stay put, and the reason is neither money nor heritage. politicalsandbox.substack.com/p/we-…
Detailed monochrome illustration of a packed Commons-style debating chamber, rows of near-identical besuited men facing each other with more watching from the galleries. The ceiling above them has partly collapsed, with cables and ducting hanging loose into the room. Water stains run down the panelling, scaffolding stands against one wall, and a single red bucket sits on the floor in the middle of the chamber catching a drip. Nobody is looking at any of it.

Fashion tip of the day: To deal with clothes moths, fill your wardrobe with thousands of tiny spiders, the moth's natural predator. To deal with the spiders, fill your wardrobe with scorpions. To deal with the scorpions, fill your closet with RFK Jr. This way, you avoid harmful chemicals.

Melania - Your husband was gleeful about the deaths of Robert Mueller & Rob Reiner, he yells at & demeans female reporters on a weekly basis, he encouraged a mob to endanger the life of his former Vice President. And on and on. . . So, Melania, America is asking you to kindly f*ck all the way off.

In 1977 NASA launched the Voyager spacecraft, including a CD with the song Johnny B. Goode, on a mission to study the solar system & beyond. The extraterrestrials who open it will get another CD every month from Columbia House at full price and be hounded for life by intergalactic debt collectors.
The disc that was attached to the Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.
