I have an inkling that the purview of #ICE (with a military budget higher than that of Israel or Brasil) will soon miraculously extend beyond "immigration". They can't control the US security establishment fast enough, so they will form a militarized militia for domestic use.
In Chicago, a sanctuary city, immigration rights advocates say ICE has unlawfully picked up at least 22 migrants, creating warrants after some had already been detained.

The dust has not even settled from the announcement that ICE will be receiving more funding than the entire US prison system, and that a new concentration camp is opening in Florida, and already Trump is announcing he will deport US citizens.
Cynthia Olivera is a Canadian who’s been living in the US since she was 10 years old.
She’s now in ICE custody, after being grabbed at her green card interview.
The 45 year old wife and mother of 3 has been moved between detention facilities while her husband begs ICE to let her get on a plane to Canada.
They’re willing to pay. She’s willing to leave. But she can’t escape.
This is why we call them concentration camps.
There’s no due process. Some people go in and never come out.
Also worth noting her husband voted for Trump because he supported his mass deportation plans.
He didn’t think it would impact people “like them”. Only “others”.
This is why we fight for the rights of everyone.
We aren’t safe until everyone is safe.

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center

ProPublica went inside the detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next.

Bloodied Faces, Sobbing Children: #Immigration Officers Smash Car Windows to Speed Up Arrests
==
We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before #Trump took office.
#ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”
You can judge for yourself.

Good news.
“While it does not take a federal judge to recognize that marauding bands of masked, rifle-toting goons have been violating ordinary people’s rights throughout Southern California,” he said, “we are hopeful that today’s ruling will be a step toward accountability for the federal government’s flagrant lawlessness that we have all been witnessing.” #Gift #Resist #ICE https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/us/immigration-raids-judge-injunction.html?unlocked_article_code=1.V08._vUp.Dehy8cnOg4sa&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
ICE officers arrested 54-year-old Julio Noriega and moved him into a van before he could explain himself, he said. He spent several hours in an ICE processing center before officers checked his wallet and realized he is a U.S. citizen.

GlobalX flight attendants were told they would fly rock bands, sports teams and sun-seekers.
Then the company started expanding into deportation flights.
“They didn’t tell us these people were going to be shackled, wrists to fucking ankles.”

What makes this moment distinctive is not the violence, but the audience encountering it. When white Americans describe this behavior as “what dictatorships do,” they are not wrong but they are late in recognition. America has long depended on techniques commonly associated with authoritarian regimes, while insulating much of white America from their routine application. That insulation is now thinning. The shock is real. The surprise is telling. But neither is unprecedented.

#ICE grabs Harvard Law professor over his rat-shooting expedition outside a #Brookline synagogue
https://www.universalhub.com/2025/ice-grabs-harvard-law-professor-over-his-rat-shooting-expedition
"What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places — and there are so many — where people have behaved magnificently, it energizes us to act, and raises at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."

I wanted to post this resource for reporting #ICE agents & incidents
They post photos & profiles of ICE agents
Some they need help ID'ing or unmasked photos
Make these #NachoNazis famous while documenting for their trials
This is why we need Blue💙Govs to have state police intervene & make these #fascists show ID & unmask them to match to faces
Make them learn "just following orders" is not a defense
From Lollapalooza to Detention Camps: Meet the Tent Company Making a Fortune Off Trump’s Deportation Plans

The privately held company Deployed Resources has made billions running tent detention facilities to hold immigrants entering the U.S. at the border. Now it's cashing in again on Trump’s plan to hold immigrants before deportation.

UPDATE: After this story was prepared for publication, ICE awarded a new contract worth up to $3.8 billion for this company to operate a migrant detention camp on Fort Bliss — its largest contract yet.
It's the first time ICE is moving ahead with plans to detain thousands of people arrested on U.S. military bases in tents before deportation.

The Constitution's supremacy clause bars local interference with federal officers when they act reasonably, within the scope of their duties.
But when agents cross that line, experts said, there's an obligation to try to hold them accountable.

Hundreds of scholars have had their visas revoked and dozens have been detained.
What’s exceptional about Öztürk’s case is how her detention was caught on camera.
What’s scariest, immigration lawyers say, is how little is known about all the others.

The shuttered DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties “was one of the very few tools we had to check ICE, to hold ICE accountable,” immigration lawyer Sophia Genovese said. “Now you see them speeding to complete authoritarianism.”
