@venitamathias What's the thought process? Just chill until #ice comes knocking at our doors? Many of us have already be #DOGEd out of our jobs. I understand that we put alot of energy into the #harris campaign but who decided that sitting on our hands afterwords was good strategy?
"CO soccer coach detained by #ICE at A/P, Apr 17 -family still doesn't know where he is.
Nyang has green card -married to US citizen +has 3-mo-old son.
"He's just a youth soccer coach, he'll be fine," neighbors thought -no criminal record -marijuana possession allegation was dismissed in 2009.
He coaches for: Skyline Soccer Assc in CO. Neighborhood parents: everyone calls him "Coach Saul." "Seeing that he's been in the US for 25 years-."

Though the Biden administration stopped detaining families in 2021 – opting instead to track immigrant families via electronic monitoring and regular check-in appointments – it left in place most of the infrastructure to restart the practice.
And earlier this year, the Trump administration did just that.

In 2014, as families and unaccompanied children began increasingly arriving at the US southern border, the Obama administration contracted with private prison companies to open the Karnes and Dilley facilities, and the US family detention program grew to its largest since the internment of Japanese Americans in the 1940s.

For decades, Democratic and Republican administrations have held immigrant families in specialized facilities – and the practice has elicited widespread criticism from pediatricians and mental health experts, and lawsuits from human rights groups.
The family detention system took its lasting shape in 2001, and particularly post-9/11. The Bush administration had wanted to ramp up immigrant detention, and promoted family detention.

The Biden administration suspended family detention in 2021 amid growing reports of sexual harassment and violence, medical neglect and inadequate food. The Trump administration has not only reinstated the practice, but Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has said the administration would seek to challenge a longstanding settlement that limits the amount of time children can be held in detention.

Have never been to Florida but once upon a time FAU's Recorded Sound Archive Judaica collection was the top digitised Yiddish music archive, still in the top 5. I for one won't use it anymore and may be petty enough to remove old links to it from blog posts. Fuck 'em.

[ Yep definitely a concentration camp with all the cruelty that implies. TENTS in the Texas heat of summer? Sadistic but hey money can be made. These co also do music concerts. Something to keep in mind.]
highly sought after as Trump to pour billions of dollars into building detention facilities Why the contract was posted and then canceled is unclear.

ICE has canceled a $3.8 billion contract to build an immigrant detention camp in Fort Bliss, Texas, just days after issuing it. But sources say the Trump administration still intends to move ahead with its plan to build the tent camp.
Failed attempt to flee to Canada from the US, due to laws which do not allow refugees in the US to attempt to claim asylum in Canada.
