PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

Find a place to protest, y’all! I’ll be in Sevierville, TN! #NoKings

Look at us, fighting back. ❤️‍🔥✊️❤️‍🔥

Good morning from East Tennessee.

A new ICE facility in Baldwin, MI is hiring-one of many detention centers meant to aid Trump's goal of deporting 1M people in his 1st year. "About 90% of ICE detainees are already held in for-profit facilities," Rose White of @mlivenews (Insta 🎥) explains, many accused of abuse & safety violations.
