ICE Fails Again to Publish Required Detention Data
For the second time this year, the agency has failed to publish the required information about immigration enforcement on schedule this week. Transparency isn't what you say, it's what you do.

For decades, Venezuelans have endured deep harm under the Maduro government, including repression, economic collapse, and violence. Acknowledging that suffering is essential. But let’s be clear: U.S. intervention has never centered the safety or dignity of Venezuelan people.

See what I mean? Psychological warfare. It’s giving Regina George. It’s giving dudes in hoods. It’s giving toxic ex desperately holding on to power.

This morning I’m bereft. They hate us. They’re killing us. They’re terrorizing us. They’re torturing us. Most days I can see it and process it to the best of my ability in that moment. I have to put one foot in front of another. I’ve become disciplined in that. And then there are days like this.

Folks who want to meet this moment really have to do some deep internal work on how they inadvertently uphold patriarchy, white supremacy, structural racism, class differences, and privilege to truly begin to make an impact. Like for real for real.

Today’s culmination of National Migration Week led by @usccbofficial.bsky.social and @catholiccharities.bsky.social provides an opportunity for deep reflection. For me it highlights the deadly ethnic cleansing happening in our midst fueled by bigotry, nationalism, pride, and power.

We need names. We need names to honor the dead. They deserve at least a modicum of dignity even posthumously because they certainly weren't given any when they were killed. apnews.com/article/dall...

Not a single man, woman, or child should be jailed at Fort Bliss. Those detained there are full human beings deserving of dignity, person-centered facilities, and easy access to legal counsel. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

🚨NEW: Reversing *generations* of practice, the Board of Immigration Appeals gives ICE exactly what it demanded, ruling that any undocumented immigrant who entered illegally is categorically ineligible for release from detention on bond — expanding mandatory detention by millions of people.

Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A) (2018), Immigration Judges lack authority to hear bond
