"Judge Ho⚡has granted a #HabeasCorpus challenge to the lawfulness of #ICE #detention by finding that "treating attendance in immigration court as a game of #detention roulette isn't consistent with the constitutional guarantee of #DueProcess."
-A Vanderpool

Thankfully, many lawsuits will ensue, but it's doubtful the #TrumpRegime's gestapo will curtail its lawlessness. We must support law firms, orgs eg ACLU... to hold this regime resp for illegal detn & #deportations of #immigrants.

"DC Police Chief issues new EOs🚨allowing police to notify ICE about subjects not in custody, including during traffic stops & to help ICE in the transportation of detained suspects."

⚡Top Dems are demanding that the Pentagon rel docum of int conversations about future #militarization of dom LE.

Trump described the deployment🚨as a dry run for more cities -suggesting: he's the auth to take control of the DC police indefinitely w/o Congress’s assent.

“Public reports indicate: the #DHS is pushing senior #DOD officials to increase operational coord in LE activities -warns that this “continues to erode the line btw def activities & LE.”

The New Republic · “Alarming”: Trump’s Threat of Troops in Cities Just Got Much ScarierTop Democrats are demanding that the Pentagon release documentation of internal conversations about future militarization of domestic law enforcement.

It’s hard to overstate how much Make The Libs Mad culture has infected all of RW politics.🚨Trump’s admin is staffed by ppl who essentially went from FT internet shitposting directly to positions in the fed govt. High level positions are dominated by highly-online conspiracists: Patel, RFK Jr, Hegseth, Pirro...

This is why you see the #DHS posting like an edgelord on 4chan. RW politics operates from the very bottom to the very top *to make libs furious.

Infinite Scroll · In Search of Furious LiberalsBy Jeremiah Johnson

What #AlligatorAuschwitz is intended to do, is🚨dehumanize every indiv forced into it. When the head #DHS is charged with making decisions that can affect every citizen of the US calls current & future detainees “scumbags,” she creates a dehumanizing force that inevitably ripples thru her entire org.

Putting ppl in cages & removing all vestiges of privacy dehumanizes them again.🚨Conds of confinement at the fac: national disgrace -should be closed immed.

The Bulwark · ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Is a Moral StainBy James F. McHugh

Good:⚡"A fed judge has temporarily barred the fed govt from using Medicaid data from states that sued over its use in IMM enforcement.

The decision blocks the #DHS -includes #ICE, from using any MDCD records it already has from CA & other states that sued over the data share +prevents HHS from sharing the data with IMM authorities.

CA AG Bonta led a coalition of states in suing the Trump admin, alleging: transfer of MDCD data violated the law.

#Trump’s #Military #Crackdowns Are Only Going to Get Worse

#LA and #DC are only the beginning, as the president’s team has been drawing up plans to unleash federal forces in other Democratic strongholds

Tricia McLaughlin, #DHS on Faux News: “You look at #LosAngeles, #Chicago, #Boston, and #NewYork — they’re also facing record numbers of homicides and violent crimes. It’s natural for us to look at Washington, D.C. — if we can really clean this up and we can get rid of this plague of crime and violent activity that’s happening in our nation’s capital — could that be a blueprint and a model for other communities around the country? It’s something I think President Trump wouldn’t shy away from. We’ll have to stay tuned.”

Excerpt: "Rolling Stone reported in October 2024 that Trump and his team have been plotting a second-term takeover of the D.C. police for a long time — regardless of the actual level of unrest or street crime. The plotting extends far beyond the nation’s capital.
In recent months, according to government officials and other sources with knowledge of the situation, administration staff and lawyers have crafted detailed plans and menus of options for Trump to feed his desire for replicating and proliferating his militarized crackdowns — on #immigrants and #citizens alike — to different Democratic strongholds.

"National Guard troops are already mobilizing in D.C., and Trump has privately said, according to two sources familiar with the matter, that if he sees something that he feels crosses his line (like if street protests in the city grow too big or if he deems them a threat suddenly), he will gladly order larger numbers of troops to nation’s capital, as he did in Los Angeles earlier this year.

"Trump has insisted to administration officials that it’s ridiculous that troops like National Guard members are not allowed to conduct various forms of domestic law enforcement, sources add. The president and his administration to some extent have had their hands tied on this due to the #PosseComitatus Act — which prohibits using the military for domestic law enforcement — though that isn’t stopping them from actively exploring ways around the law. 'There are ways things were done, and that’s not always going to be how they should be done now or tomorrow,' a senior Trump administration official tells Rolling Stone."

It's unfathomable how fearful undocumented #immigrants must feel. This is a ploy💔by the #TrumpRegime for them to self-deport, or if they don't register, for pos immed #deportations. Trump has promised "some" bus' & farms won't be raided. But there's no guarantee.

"detailed information on each person arrested by #DHS as of June 26. It shows DHS took down 15,000 people on the streets without any criminal history or removal orders since Inauguration Day.
"But in June alone, the figure was 7,000 — 90% were Latin American immigrants."

Nothing in the #TrumpRegime can be trusted, esp stats & data.

All #ICE LE recruits will be required to go through med screening, drug screening, & complete a physical fitness test, the agency clarified.

A warm body,💔with MAGA instincts, esp xenophobia & amorality, are surely sought by this inhumane regime.

Detainees will start arriving this Sat with an initial cap of 1000 beds but when fully built it'll have capacity to house 5000!! non-citizens. This will be the country’s largest IMM detn fac in TX.

Likely a lot of detainees from CA will be sent there as Adelanto & Otay Mesa are at cap.

This is atrocious!"

Undeterred by protests, Trump tells ICE to step up deportations in Democratic-run cities

By John L. Micek
Updated: Jun. 17, 2025

"President Donald Trump has directed federal immigration officials to target deportations in cities run by Democrats, including #Boston, after millions of people turned out in protest against the Republican White House’s policies over the weekend.

"In a post to his Truth Social website on Sunday, Trump said he was ordering U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to 'do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.'

" 'In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as #LosAngeles, #Chicago, and #NewYorkCity, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside,' he continued."

masslive · Undeterred by protests, Trump tells ICE to step up deportations in Democratic-run citiesBy John L. Micek | jmicek@masslive.com

Trump is doing all this tariff shit, FOR NO REASON. He's insane and he's damaging what was an economy humming along pretty well until Jan 20. Best recovery of any country after the pandemic. All that is gone. No reason for it other than Trump being a deranged and very stupid old adjudicated rapist, 34-count convicted felon, and pedophile.

Side note: #ICE must be destroyed and #DHS must be disbanded.
