The woman featured in the anti–Sherrod Brown ads, Soren Aldaco, is from Texas—not Ohio—and underwent a double mastectomy at age 19! Presenting her surgery as something done to a child “without my parents’ consent” leaves out a crucial fact: She was a Legal Adult from and living in TEXAS.

What’s happening in Roxbury has been a growing site for activist intervention. ICE has been barred by the courts from using this site but is doing it anyway.

ICE appears to be using the parking lot of the Roxbury warehouse for processing and brief detention, and at least once appears to have taken people inside. But also, read this inside look from a federal contractor about how everyone knew the warehouse plan was insane but Miller demanded inhumanity.
NPR spoke to an official at a government contractor whose company was approached to convert several of the warehouses into ICE facilities. He spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation from the government.

"No one that we spoke to at DHS was for this idea whatsoever. The deputy director told us point-blank that they had pushed back very hard on it. Everybody knew warehouses are horrible places to put people," he says.

At a meeting with a deputy director at DHS, he says, his company proposed an alternative: FEMA-style camps in Texas that would be more humane.

He says that idea was swiftly shot down. While White House adviser Stephen Miller was not at the meeting, they were told that this was not what Miller wanted.

The contractor says his understanding from that meeting was that "Miller did not want the facilities that were comfortable. He did not want facilities that were humane. We were told point-blank that that was not what the administration wanted."

"Steve Miller certainly seemed to make that point to everyone that he wanted it to be cruel. This was what Miller had stated to the DHS at that time, to the DHS director and deputy director. What surprised me was just how adamant the people were that it was going to happen. Damn the consequences. I would say in 25 years of working with the U.S. government, I've never been in that position before."

So Kash’s FBI had this kid on their radar for a while, posed as iSIS to contact him, SOLD HIM an AK47 & 200 rounds, and just happened to arrest him in the weeks before the midterms, in a story that conveniently falls directly into both their Somali and Muslim narratives. Timing seems… suspect?
