Why is news of this heartbreaking MASS SHOOTING that left 9 dead in Erie, PA, being buried as if it's just another day at the office? The first tragedy is the senseless loss of life. The second tragedy is that Trump and Republicans don't give AF about it.

You cannot "reform" something built to abduct, assault, terrorize, traffic & kill. You can only abolish it. And that goes both for ICE & the MAGA Murder Regime that has unleashed its full occupation & assault on us.

NEW: Just days after a federal judge in Boston vacated a 2025 interim regulation making it dramatically easier for ICE to impose massive fines against immigrants for failure to depart, DHS and DOJ have now issued a final regulation, which would put the rule back into place as of Wednesday.
This document is scheduled to be published in the
Federal Register on 2026-10-14 and available online at
https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2026-21024, and on
https://govinfo.gov

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
8 CFR Part 281
[Docket No: ICEB-2025-0034]
RIN 1653-AA96
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Executive Office for Immigration Review
8 CFR Parts 1003 and 1280
[Dir. Order No. 11-2026]
RIN 1125-AB36
Imposition and Collection of Civil Penalties for Certain Immigration-Related
Violations
AGENCIES: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”), Department of
Homeland Security (“DHS”); Executive Office for Immigration Review (“EOIR”),
Department of Justice (“DOJ”).
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: On June 27, 2025, the Departments issued an interim final rule (“IFR”) to
streamline assessment of civil penalties under the Immigration and Nationality Act
(“INA”) for aliens who fail to depart during a voluntary departure period, willfully fail or
refuse to depart after a final removal order and certain other proscribed activities, or are
apprehended while improperly entering or attempting to enter the United States. This
final rule addresses comments and finalizes the IFR with one change: it permits
acceptance of a late-filed appeal based on documented mail delivery delays that ICE
finds were beyond the alien’s control.

This thing has made me go do a lot of reading tonight, and the Wikipedia page about the last public execution in the United States is well-written. It was Rainey Bethea, a Black man hanged in front of a crowd of 20,000 in 1936, a spectacle which embarrassed Kentucky enough that they ended hangings.
Hanna placed the noose around Bethea's neck, adjusted it, and then signaled to Hash to pull the trigger. Instead, Hash, who was drunk, did nothing. Hanna shouted at Hash, "Do it!" A deputy then leaned onto the trigger, which sprang the trap door. citation needed! Bethea fell 8 feet (2.4 m), and his neck was instantly broken.
Afterward, two doctors confirmed he was dead.
His body was taken to Andrew & Wheatley
Funeral Home. Icitation needed! He wanted his body to be sent to his sister in South Carolina so that she could arrange for him to be interred next to his father, but against these wishes, he was buried in a pauper's grave at Owensboro Cemetery (also known as City Cemetery and
"Potter's Field") in Owensboro. 14]It was estimated that a crowd of about 20,000 people gathered to watch the execution.!9! One man, 36-year-old Leonard A. Peters, was killed in a car accident while driving to Owensboro to witness the hanging. Three others, including his wife, were injured. 15. Afterwards, Hanna complained that Hash should not have been allowed to perform the execution in his drunken
condition. Hanna further said it was the worst display he experienced in the 70 hangings he had supervised. citation needed]
The spot where the scaffold stood
(approximately 37.775248° -87.116462°) is now part of a drop-off/pick-up lane in front of the Owensboro Convention Center. citation needed]へ
End of public executions in
Kentucky
As the Kentucky General Assembly had been meeting in its biennial sessions at the time, the media circus surrounding the Bethea execution embarrassed members of the Kentucky
legislature. In spite of the humiliation, they could not amend laws regarding executions until the next session in 1938. However, the trial judges in two separate Kentucky rape cases ordered that the hangings of John "Pete" Montjoy and Harold Van Venison be conducted privately. Montjoy, age 23, was privately hanged in Covington on December 17, 1937.On January 17, 1938, William R. Attkisson of the Kentucky State Senate's 38th District (representing Louisville), introduced Senate Bill 69, repealing the requirement in Section 1137 that executions for convicted rapists be conducted by hanging in the county seat where they raped their victims. The bill was promoted in the Kentucky House of Representatives by Representative Charles W. Anderson Jr., one of the attorneys who assisted Bethea in his post-conviction relief motions.
After both houses approved the bill, Governor Chandler signed it into law on March 12, 1938; it became effective on May 30 of that year.
Chandler later expressed regret at having approved the repeal, claiming, "Our streets are no longer safe." The last person ever legally hanged in Kentucky was Harold Van Venison, a
33-year-old African-American singer, who was privately executed in Covington on June 3, 1938.

This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.
