In the final days of World War II, when the Allies were surrounding Germany and even landed in France, Hitler diverted critical and increasingly shrinking military resources to accelerate the deportation of Jews to concentration camps. The hatred he had for them overruled any kind of logic. Incredibly, targeted raids on immigrant communities haven’t halted….

Weekend ICE Roundup (łapanka, rafle, attrapage, razzia, bloko….)
These are largely symbolic actions considering the relatively small size (220) of the BORTAC unit, but are indicative of the continuing campaign of repression, not distracting from the detention of children, etc. x What, exactly, will these CBP SWAT teams help ICE with?

Trump threw a hissy fit on Air Force One for not getting enough praise for his hospital visit
The shooting began while Trump was at his golf club, and after what his own staff admitted was a disastrous debacle visiting the victims, Trump is now slinking back to his club to golf even more.

A thought looking ahead to 2020 election day
Imagine this. In heavily Latino precincts, ICE shows up and starts arresting people. It does not matter that they are American citizens, that they have picture iDs with them.

YOU are not at the Border, you are at a hearing. This is how every Dem Rep. should be talking.
I missed most of the hearing today but caught this link and it was awesome. When dems stand up to these bullies and remind them that WE the People are who legislators represent, then we get somewhere. No more of this, my good friend, crap. People who embrace or enable the caging and abuse of…

Hero Police Chief on child, fleeing violence, ordered back alone: Only Nazis follow orders blindly.
Normal, healthy people can all agree that you don’t torture children to punish adults. You don’t rip children from their parents to serve as a deterrent or warning to others.

The sweltering soccer field ICE moved the mothers…so official wouldn't hear their screams

ICE was created from the ill-conceived “Patriot Act” in 2003. In the wake of rampant Islamophobia, immigration changed overnight from being an economic/labor issue to a national security issue.
