If federal officers are going to murder another person, it will likely happen here. Newark, New Jersey is the newest battleground for the administration, as Trump goes to war with his own constituents. The foundation was laid months ago, when ICE officers assaulted, arrested, and illegally refused to grant access to detention facilities to congressional […]

The Trump administration has thrown billions at purging non-white people from this country. Most of that has ended up in the hands of ICE, which has — in turn — thrown hundreds of millions at a number of private companies offering bespoke and/or off-the-shelf surveillance solutions. The slide down the slippery slope began less than […]

Trump has loved “travel bans” since his first term in office. It has nothing to do with making America safer or better and everything to do with making America whiter. People were opposed to Trump’s blanket bans all the way back in 2017, when the heads of tech companies managed to collectively grow enough spine […]

ICE never needed officers to disguise themselves with masks and strip themselves of identification before Trump took office for the second time. What ICE is doing now isn’t what ICE was doing during Trump’s first term, even though it’s the same hateful bigot sitting behind the Resolute Desk he thinks should be covered in gold […]

This is hardly the worst thing about the administration’s aliens.gov website but it’s still worth noting. Let’s get to the worst stuff first. The site URL is aliens.gov, which would lead most normal people to believe it has something to do with the ongoing declassification of UFO-related files. That’s something Trump actually made happen, which […]

A Chicago Public Schools student, who was detained by ICE alongside his mother during a scheduled check-in for their asylum case, attended his graduation ceremony Thursday.

Poll everyone you can. Even the most MAGA never dreamed up this scenario. There’s no single-issue voter whose kink is “surely the people wanting green cards can get that done in their own countries.” Nope, this is Trump’s kink. This is a blatant attempt to juice the deportation numbers to soothe the throbbing bald skull […]

Ricardo Hernandez Navarrete and his mother, Liliana, were taken into custody nearly two months ago during a meeting over their request for asylum.

There are many (negative) things this Trump administration is known for. It’s a long list and I would encourage everyone to add as many negative things to that list. His DOJ is specifically known for vengeful prosecutions of those who dare to oppose the guy who thinks he’s a king. The nation’s top law enforcement […]

Ricardo Navarrete and his mother, Liliana, were taken into custody nearly two months ago during a meeting over their request for asylum.

It’s one thing to accuse the government of engaging in vindictive prosecutions. It’s quite another thing to prove it. The deck is stacked against those making these claims. These allegations rarely succeed. The government gets the benefit of the doubt and has the ability to make evidence against its position simply disappear. It didn’t work […]

It’s absolutely amazing how wrong this administration has been when it comes to immigration enforcement. That some people still think the Supreme Court is in the best position to resolve this is insane. This isn’t a circuit split in need of mending. This is pretty much the entirety of the court system coming to the […]

I’m not here to kink shame or suggest sex work isn’t work. I’m not here to claim that every sex worker is a victim of sex trafficking. I’m not even here to suggest that government officials shouldn’t be allowed to exchange money for goods and sexual services. If they’re not on the clock, I’m not […]

Friends hope Ricardo can be released in time for his high school graduation next week, adding that the 18-year-old had plans to play soccer at Truman Junior College next year.

Judge Beryl Howell has now told ICE at least twice: it’s not allowed to grade its own papers. Since Trump’s return to office, the federal government has been engaged in a months-long purge of anyone who looks a bit foreign. ICE has increasingly relied on administrative warrants to do everything including enter homes to effect […]

The incident was captured on cell-phone video on Oct. 3, 2025, at the Humboldt Health safety-net hospital.

Behold this utter bullshit, uttered by the Trump administration’s “border czar” Tom Homan: White House border czar Tom Homan said Thursday he’s “sure” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have detained U.S. citizens, “but we don’t deport them.” Homan told reporters outside the White House that U.S. citizens have “nothing to fear.” “We deport people […]

Something that never was a problem for years suddenly became a thing after Trump’s return to office. As his administration ramped up its cruelty towards non-white people, Democratic leaders suddenly became much more interested in seeing how ICE was handling this influx of detainees. Not that they were wrong to do so. The history of […]

Let’s hope the word “possibly” can be stricken from this headline in the near future. And while contempt charges don’t mean much to an administration that is openly contemptuous of anything that hints at checks or balances, it would, at the very least, encourage other judges to stop treating the Trump DOJ like it’s worthy […]

The content of their character was never up for consideration. Under Donald Trump, the only thing that matters is the color of their skin. That’s why almost every single person granted asylum since Trump took office has been white. That’s why Trump has been asking (out loud!) why we keep getting migrants from “shithole” countries […]

Not that ICE was ever that great about taking care of all the people it detains. It certainly wasn’t during Trump’s first term. The DHS Inspector General released a report that said there were numerous problems in a single detention facility. Not only that but what was contained in the report was incomplete because the […]

Raids and arrests around the nation by federal immigration officers all feature the same thing: a bunch of people in masks shoving people into unmarked vehicles. What’s happening under Trump during his second term doesn’t feel like America. And it certainly doesn’t look like America. Instead, it looks like the actions of paramilitary jump-out squads, […]

The administration’s anti-migrant tactics are now months into an indefinite period of continuous escalation. That protest efforts have escalated alongside it apparently means nothing to the officials spearheading this brazen attack on non-white people. It wasn’t until federal officers began killing people in front of witnesses that the administration decided to dial things back a […]

Under Trump, DHS, ICE, CBP, and Border Patrol have violated every single right affected by their daily work. When you’re trying to perform 3,000 arrests per day, you can be slowed down by things like the Constitution. And these agencies certainly haven’t been slowed. In fact, they’ve been encouraged to continue violating rights by being […]

The government needs more funding than ever, which is kind of hilarious when you realize the Tea Party of the Obama era was the predecessor of this Big Government version of the GOP. The DHS can’t even get itself a budget at the moment. Sure, it will get some money thrown to it sooner or […]

For the better part of five years, we’ve been treated to an elaborate performance about the unprecedented constitutional horror of “jawboning.” Jim Jordan held hearings. Missouri’s AG sued. The Supreme Court heard Murthy v. Missouri and concluded there wasn’t enough evidence of government coercion to establish standing, let alone a First Amendment violation. None of […]

We’ve got a throwback administration that wants to bring us back to halcyon days of early 1950s America, that preceded Supreme Court-ordered school desegregation. If it could, I’m sure it would go back even further, taking at least another 100 years off the clock. The Trump administration has no problem with embracing bigotry. That much […]

More of the same for the Trump administration — one that seems incapable of achieving its goals without breaking the law or disregarding the Constitution. Hundreds of judges handling thousands of cases have already told the administration it can’t do the things it thinks it can when it comes to satisfying its anti-migrant bloodlust/Stephen Miller’s […]
