ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.

At least 32 people have died at the hands of ICE and Border Patrol so far in 2026. These are their names.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent.

There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off.

Also, MOTD making it about England (and not what he says about the war) is a bit a ick.

Imagine being a kid and learning both your parents were arrested by ICE. You’ll have to pay rent and survive on your own.

I shadowed four siblings—US citizens near Mar-a-Lago—as they try to do that. I'll be thinking about their story for a long time 1/x www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
ICE took Mom and Dad. Now the Perez kids are home alone.
Four American siblings left to fend for themselves—and they're not the only ones.

The Albanian people have been massively protesting for several consecutive days against slumlord crook Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka seizing land in their country to the sum of billions of dollars to build a trashy resort. I hope they don’t stop until their evil corrupt deal is reversed.

“The amount the rich could squander on occasions like these in a period of repeated disasters appears inexplicable, not so much with regard to motive as with regard to means.

In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people.

It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day.

HUGE NEWS: ICE’s courthouse arrests have been STAYED by a New York district judge.

That means that ICE will have to stop arresting our immigrant neighbors on the spot when they show up to court at places like 26 Federal Plaza, 290 Broadway, and 201 Varick. (1/2)

Less than a week ago, there were several prominent voices on here saying that they were sure Orbán was going to cancel Hungary's election. And casting that as a preview of coming horrors here in the States.

Well, Hungary had its vote, Orbán lost in a landslide, and he's conceded.
