Yet these detention dreams are hitting stiff opposition. ICE wants to buy a warehouse in Virginia’s Hanover County, which went for Trump by 26 points in 2024 and combines rural territory with Richmond’s northern suburbs. Residents recently turned out in force and angrily condemned the proposed sale, with local reports suggesting only a “handful” backed […]

Some detainees have been quarantined, McLaughlin said, adding that everyone is “being provided with proper medical care.” The Dilley facility is where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, whose picture went viral after he was detained in Minneapolis, last month by ICE agents, was held, along with his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, before being released Sunday.

Source: Douglas Rissing / Getty Welp, after weeks of resorting to propaganda and victim-blaming in hopes of spinning the killings of Minnesota citizens and protesters at the hands of violent, trigger-happy immigration agents, it appears that the federal government has finally been shamed into doing its job. On Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice announced […]

Source: Al Drago / Getty Top officials in the Trump administration collectively stepped in it when they reflexively blamed Minnesota health professional Alex Pretti for his own violent death at the hands of federal agents, the same way they lied about Renee Nicole Good. Because, in Pretti’s case, video footage leaves no doubt that he […]

“That day, he thought he was going to die,” CNN’s source said. CNN reviewed Pretti’s medication records, which were consistent with the idea that he had broken his rib. It’s not clear whether Border Patrol agents recognized Pretti before killing him this past weekend. But a DHS memo earlier this month told agents in Minneapolis […]

Because what’s actually happening is—and you can see this in Minneapolis—if there are social assumptions about diversity, about liberals not being sincere, about their belief in multiculturalism, about the effect of violence, about their own efficiency as manly men—if any of those assumptions were true, Minnesota would have cracked. But it didn’t crack. All these […]

After we recorded this episode, we noticed that Axios is reporting that anger is rising at Stephen Miller inside Donald Trump’s inner circle. Some White House officials blame Miller for smearing ICE murder victim Alex Pretti. This comes as reports in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times suggest that other top advisers […]

Source: OCTAVIO JONES / Getty Welp, we called it — the Trump administration’s routine strategy of spinning the fallout from violent immigration agents by smearing the victims and making the feds out to be innocent servants who are trying to do their jobs has backfired now that President Donald Trump and his MAGA-fied sycophants have […]

“Let me be blunt. If you blink in Minneapolis, they’re gonna overwhelm you, and they’re gonna win. You cannot blink in Minneapolis.

When 37-year-old Alex Pretti was gunned down by ICE agents while trying to protect a […]

But is there any “right way” to carry out these policies within this adviser’s intended meaning of the phrase? The idea seems to be that one could achieve the full scale of mass deportations that Trump and Miller want, albeit in a way that would achieve wide public support.

First: I do not understand why the Democrats haven’t been shouting about Grijalva nonstop, making sure America knows how many days it’s been since her election, and why this is happening to her. They do it, sort of, in the same way that they do a lot of things, sort of. Senators Mark Kelly and […]
