Fraud. Waste. Abuse.

NEW: Illinois State Police keeps a gang database. ICE has access to it. This, despite the state's TRUST Act prohibiting data sharing agreements between the two. news.wttw.com/2025/06/02/i...

You can’t unring those bells.

Sick and disgusting

“In their Friday ruling, the judges waded into the legal skirmish, writing that Uthmeier “may well be right that the district court’s order is impermissibly broad. But that does not warrant what seems to have been at least a veiled threat not to obey it.” #immigration

Likely in light of the situation in LA, ICE leadership just put out a pretty outrageous message to politicians: “I’m demanding they stop.” He specifically calls out Mayor Wu and Hakeem Jeffries.

I'm outraged by DHS' violent arrest of SEIU-USWW President David Huerta at the Roybal Federal Building in Los Angeles. Full statement:

Follow @seiu.org + @seiuca.bsky.social for updates

I fundamentally, profoundly disagree with this incredibly dangerous A+B take from someone who has absolutely no business pretending to be a public intellectual. We shouldn't use polling to tell us what our values are, we should use polling to further advance the causes we value.

These deeply violent tactics are targeting mothers, fathers, community leaders — workers. There needs to be accountability for what was done to @seiuca.bsky.social's David Huerta

BREAKING: Los Angeles police in riot gear stormed protesters outside a federal building, making at least one arrest as loud bangs and less-lethal munitions were used for crowd control. Protesters scattered and multiple injuries were reported. Video by Anthony Cabassa.

GIVE HER THE ROBER F KENNEDY HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD IMMEDIATELY

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

There is an opportunity for Americans to come to see the ways that military style law enforcement operates to undermine any reasonable definition of community safety, introducing authoritarian violence where simply doing nothing would suffice.

So it seems like Bukele *is* willing to release detainees if there are pending proceedings in the U.S. The habeas/due process the courts have ordered for the Venezuelans are pending proceedings. So when are they coming back

David Huerta must be released immediately to heal and begin a full recovery. David and all working people have put their bodies on the line for far too long to fight for justice and protect our communities. Violence has no place here.

Born and raised in Los Angeles County, David Huerta is a champion for justice and a good neighbor. Today, while advocating for his community during an ICE raid, he was injured and arrested. These raids are dangerous for our families and communities. They are unjust and must end.

US AG Pam Bondi says in that Kilmar will serve his sentence for charges that have yet to be litigated, and then be deported back to El Salvador. I once served on a grand jury -- its purpose is to ID probable cause, NOT determine guilt. 1/ abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

We were told this was impossible! Curious!

Unequivocally the US government lost here. They insisted they couldn't bring him back and now have, so even if they get him on bullshit charges (as I assume they'll try to do) they still stand completely discredited. Nobody will take Trump seriously on anything and so Trump can eat shit.

Thinking about how many times every single Republican has said “waste, fraud, and abuse” since January

The men and their guards are contending with baking hot temperatures, smoke from nearby burn pits and the looming threat of rocket attacks

Finally!

To be clear — Kilmar being brought back to the U.S. makes one thing entirely clear The Trump Admin was lying about their ability to return him from El Salvador Kilmar, at the end of the day, will get DUE PROCESS

He is coming home and will receive due process. That's a win for everyone who has been fighting so hard on this. And this also blows up one of the key claims of the regime that they had no power to bring someone like Kilmar back. Now they have to do the same for others held in gulags abroad.

“Baraka, on a hot mic after the hearing’s conclusion, reacted: ‘Jesus, he tore these people a new asshole. Good grief.’”

THEY ARE BRINGING KILMAR BACK

Today in racial profiling "A Deputy US Marshal who fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE was briefly detained at a federal building in Tucson after entering the lobby of the building,”

Pride Parade: NO Military Parade: YES make it make sense

>>> Unless you have friends among fish There’ll still be no air to breathe You could drink up the entire ocean We’ll still find someone to be everything We know that you’ll never be

Constituencies Republicans have abandoned: ✅ Cubans ✅ Venezuelans ✅ ELON MUSK

A fourth grader is 9 years old. They've detained a 9 year old.

THE HEADLINE

A fourth grader.

Marcelo is free, finally. Stephen Miller is detaining bright, accomplished young people that are beloved by their communities—everything he’s not.

Here it is: Musk thinks he is owed a say in Trump’s policy because of how much he spent on the campaign.

“We have not received any information on why they were detained,” she said. “All we know is that Martir is just a fourth grader who’s by himself, without his dad, without a parent, and just in a place that he probably doesn’t know, so we can only imagine what he might be feeling.”

Should be wall to wall coverage with video in the national political media.

How is this helping? This is cruelty for its own sake.

ICE detained a FOURTH GRADER during his #immigration hearing

This is so dumb and evil. Why are they punishing kids for trying to better themselves?
