NEW: The Trump administration keeps denying and downplaying that immigration agents have been detaining Americans.

It’s wrong.

We’ve found more than 500 U.S. citizens have been held against their will, including handcuffed or held at gunpoint.
More Than 500 U.S. Citizens Have Been Detained, Including Handcuffed or Held at Gunpoint, in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown — ProPublica
The government doesn’t track how often immigration officers detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve found more than 500 Americans who were held against their will during this Trump administrati...

😳 On 9/29/26, Argentina’s Supreme cleared the way for President Javier Milei’s administration to scrap historical restrictions on foreign land ownership, opening the door to the likes of Peter Thiel & Sam Altman who have shown great interest in the region … 1/ share.google/t7nTsPAkbpC8...

My heart breaks for these kids. We can do SO much better - and we MUST do so much better - for them. They are our future.
Over 540,000 people have been deported since the start of the second Trump administration in January 2025. This has had a devastating impact not just on those detained, but on the children left behind.

Human Rights Watch spoke to many parents in the aftermath of their deportations. Read more:

The White House: "Gee, what ELSE can we do to drive up prices to REALLY turn voters against us? I know ... (plus, let's make it as cruel and inhumane as possible in the process)"
ICE IS ABOUT TO MAKE YOUR GROCERY BILL EVEN WORSE

Cattle groups in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas say ICE raids are creating a “massive chilling effect” on legal, documented workers, disrupting meatpacking and delaying the processing of thousands of cattle.

They’re reporting millions in losses.

Keep those eyes and ears open.👀👂🏽
For every arrest that breaks through into public view, countless others happen quickly, before anyone can notice.

Now ICE is anywhere and everywhere, embedded in all corners of everyday life.
Gone in 90 seconds: an ‘invisibilized’ ICE is arresting more people than ever
After public backlash, the Trump administration changed its tactics from ‘siege’ to ‘soft feet’. Now, ICE is everywhere

As for me, I'm gonna #StayWoke ... when people say (law-abiding, etc.) citizens have nothing to fear from ICE, DHS, CBP, HSI, the FBI, etc. Just show them Eddie's post.
⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️™️

🧵On Feb. 26, 1931, the INS under the orders of Herbert Hoover deported up to 1.8 million people to Mexico. An investigation in 2004 revealed 60% were U.S. citizens.

I feel like somewhere in this universe the ghosts of Jane Addams, Sinclair Lewis, WEB Du Bois, Ida Wells, Jacob Riis, Crazy Horse, and Teddy Roosevelt are having brunch together and shaking their heads (or facepalming?) at the three ring circus the United States of America is at the moment.

And we DARE to call ourselves a civilization. This is cruel, shameful, and abusive behavior.
The lawyer for the Venezuelan man shot by ICE yesterday says he was discharged from the hospital and transferred to ICE detention while the bullet was still inside of him, and that in Pearsall he's not received any pain meds and was forced to sleep on the floor.
Christ, these people are monsters.

Just monsters.

Dear ESPN App, I don’t CARE about the SEC or the B1G either. Please don’t send me notices about those teams. I have my preferences set for the teams I care about. Please don’t bother me with that other mess.

Here’s my optimistic beginning of NFL season post. I’m a KC football fan. I HATE “the chop.” I wish my team would NOT caricature indigenous American cultures as a thematic brand. The Superbowl victories I have been fortunate to experience are amazing. I’d love to root on more success this season! ❤️💛
