At least 57 people have died in ICE detention since the start of President Trump's second term — more than double the number of deaths recorded from the previous four years combined. ICE must be held accountable before any more lives are lost.

Deaths in ICE Detention More Than Doubles Under Trump
Death rate could be higher if it includes hidden deaths of people released from detention that ICE is reporting under Trump administration.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

Are you kidding me ‼️ Just now at the White House, Trump was asked about the Cornell rape case. He didn’t address the allegations. He attacked Letitia James, calling her “corrupt” and claiming anyone she investigates “won’t get a fair shake.” Trump’s sympathy clearly isn’t with the survivor.

Trump rambles for AGES about the White House renovation (802 words total). The interviewer then changes topic, but Trump tries to bring it back to the White House. The Time reporter doesn't engage and moves on McConnell, and Trump just SNAPS: "You haven't asked me one fucking positive question."
You mentioned the Democrats will come after you if they win. Are you considering pardoning members of your administration prior to the end of your term?

Yeah, sure I’d do that. 

Is that something you would consider doing? 

Well, Sleepy Joe Biden, he gave pardons to everyone. [Holds up pictures of White House] They're actually—see, this is the way it looks now.

Have you seen the videos of Mitch McConnell back in the Senate? Do you think he should resign because of his health condition?

It was a disappointment to a lot of Republicans. So that's just—well, Sleepy Joe gave pardons to everybody. He gave them to Fauci. He gave them to this. But you mean I'm not allowed to give them, but Sleepy Joe's allowed to give them? This ain't gonna be much of a story. Here we are doing this. You haven't asked me one fucking positive question. All of this. What about this? What about that? What about that? What about this? All negative. Why are you devoting all this time to the White House? You know how I do, I do that out of my back pocket. I pay for a lot of it, but I fix it because the White House should look like that. It shouldn’t look like—if you would have stood in that balcony and looked at that wall, half the wall was falling. It's actually dangerous. People are walking under, crap was falling off it all the time. Every time it rained, it was leaking, horrible. Now it's perfect, and I would say that I should be given credit for fixing the White House because I'm also doing very well with the war. I'm doing very well with another war that we already won, Venezuela. Do you notice you haven't asked me a question about Venezuela?

This will be one of the most important immigration cases in a generation. The Trump admin claims that a 1996 law mandates the detention of millions of people without any right to a bond hearing; every person who entered illegally, no matter how long in the past. If they win, it's a nightmare.
