We’re at the “shipping container courts” stage of ICE’s mass expansion of the enforcement system.

Each detention unit would sit on asphalt or concrete behind an office's existing security fence, with a counter for processing people and a separate holding area fitted with a toilet and sink for detainees according to the draft work statement.
The agency also wants a 300-square-foot unit for interviewing people in custody and a 60-square-foot "Virtual Immigration Court Unit" for hearings run by the Executive Office for Immigration Review, the Justice Department agency that operates the immigration courts.
Both must also be designed for their purpose before delivery.

There is absolutely no bottom. They will kill and murder and steal and break the law and laugh at every rule and institution until they are stopped. They think they are all-powerful and all conventional rules of morality and legality do not apply to them.

We aren’t going to “rebrand” our way out of this. The reality is that the same players who got us here can’t be the same ones who get us out. The status quo is literally killing us. Run for office.

Our local communities shouldn’t be in the deportation business. TN funds 30+ 287g agreements between ICE and local law enforcement agencies (with our tax dollars) ripping families apart and eroding trust. Tennesseans deserve safety, dignity & opportunity, not mass deportation.

In Tennessee, rural hospitals are closing at some of the highest rates in the country but ICE gets to open a privately-run detention center. The amount handed to ICE in Trump’s budget bill is enough to run 50 rural hospitals for more than a decade.

NEW: the Trump admin has moved to terminate TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua, covering over 50,000 people Both of these designations date back to 1999, meaning Trump wants to strip legal status from people here legally who have had a background check every 18 months for the last 26 years.

The radical right has been turning a human rights issue into a political issue for years to further their own agenda. They don’t care about policy or people, they care about media farming. Part of reclaiming the narrative is refusing to fuel their fire and not taking the bait.
