Castor: They told Heidy Sánchez, ‘Come in early—we want to check on your status.’ And she did the right thing… And at that ICE meeting, they took her. They took her away from her child. This is a breastfeeding mother. They flew her to another detention center in Miami, and then onto a plane to Cuba.

ICE is punishing immigrants for following the law because, when immigrants very sensibly stop showing up for court hearings, it bolsters the regime's claim that all immigrants are criminals Same reason ICE deprives detainees of soap. It bolsters claims that they're filthy

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

ICE raided a popular restaurant in a San Diego neighborhood. About 3 dozen agents, some in full tactical gear, arrested restaurant workers while patrons were enjoying dinner. The ICE agents didn't expect a resounding rejection by neighbors & patrons. The community spontaneously protested.

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

We tend to focus on Trump—which is understandable because the extent of his corruption and the severity of his character pathology are unique—but Palantir, Thiel, Musk and others will have surveillance databases with of all our personal information even after Trump somehow eventually leaves office.

Of all the things that didn’t happen, this didn’t happen the most. TACO Trump chickened out because bond yields went vertical and he was about to destroy the US economy - not China’s. China found other trading partners to help insulate from Trump’s insanity - we haven’t.

Couldn't agree more with this. It's jaw-dropping to see the patty cake people are playing with him after what was a full constitutional assault that, oh by the way, is almost certainly going to lead to tens of thousands of people in the global south dying needlessly.
