The US has the highest incarceration rate of any independent democracy on Earth, making it a leader in mass incarceration. Far too many people are locked up in the “land of the free.”

Two years ago, then-Meridian Police Officer Donald Heida punched Colt Seward half a dozen times in the face and head during a DUI arrest, fracturing his eye socket. Now he's suing, alleging the force was “unnecessary, unreasonable, and excessive.”

Here's your reminder that the U.S. is still jailing Rumeysa Ozturk—over an op-ed. The State Dept admittedly found no evidence she’s antisemitic or supports Hamas. And yet she’s behind bars for speech. In America. Absolutely deranged. reason.com/2025/04/30/r...

How does Avelo Airlines justify operating deportation flights for ICE? CEO Andrew Levy called the contract “too valuable not to pursue.” In other words, profiting off others’ misery. #BoycottAvelo #NoDeportations #DueProcess www.propublica.org/article/avel...

Despite knowing the people on the search warrant weren't there, the ICE arrest team STILL took this family's phones, laptops, and life savings — and refused to leave a BUSINESS CARD so they could ask to get it back! This stuff is sadly not unique to ICE; it happens with regular police raids too.

These were apparently ICE agents - masked and refusing to identity themselves. ICE is promising to prosecute the citizens arrested - who were arrested for asking for identification

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

Many people in immigration detention are far from home, separated from loved ones, and in the dark about how long they'll be detained. For over a decade, Jeannie Parent and her volunteer group have been visiting immigrants in detention and supporting immigrants in their community.

Wild that a president can unilaterally reorganize the entire government, redirect all spending to their liking. and kick people out of the country at will for no reason or any reason, but cannot forgive student debt even when it is exercising a federal law.

Before whatever is about to happen happens: There will be a lot of reporting and commentary about executive orders. Much of that reporting, at least initially, will regurgitate what the White House says the orders do as opposed to what they can actually do based on the text and controlling law.

This actually happened: A few weeks after passing a $50 million school-voucher bill for Idaho's private-school families, Idaho lawmakers slashed $30 million in support for public-school families. Remember: 94% of Idaho students attend public schools. www.propublica.org/article/idah...

To be clear, there's no reason to have any of these people incarcerated, whatever the conditions or oversight (which are never good). Oversight of jail conditions has not resulted in fewer jail deaths.

We've reached the point where masked, plainclothes, unidentified Federal agents can kidnap people off the streets and call it a legal arrest.

The idea that we can neatly separate "legal" v "illegal" while ICE rounds up 'legal' immigrants, declares them 'illegal' and arrests them should be rejected. Immigration options are being narrowed, people's visas are being revoked. This admin intends to make every immigrant 'illegal' if they can.
