Thank you for this excellent post exposing the craven cruelty of the Mad One and his minions. Every member of this illegitimate gov’t must be named, exposed, and eventually held accountable for this insanity. Looking at you, Supreme Court!

This is scary. How many immigration judges are there in the US and where are they?

I don’t know if I can handle any more horrendous news. What can we do to help these immigrants and also protect ourselves and our families? I feel like we are in a really bad twilight zone episode and it’s like Groundhog day rolled in together with it!!!! I am definitely tapped out after this one folks. especially with all the Epstein pedophilia files flying around also. It’s a never ending treadmill of lies, cruelty and hatred towards others.❤️✌🏻🇺🇸🙏

The GEO Group who once owned a correctional center has now changed it to a detention center in Baldwin, Michigan, in the middle of nowhere. They plan to hold 1800 men and women. It is 100 miles from Grand Rapids and 149 miles from Battle Creek. If their record of insufficient care of prisoners was horrible, imagine what they will do to immigrants.

The GEO Group will be getting 70 million a year. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I just wanted to emphasize one area of your article, if I may: “GEO Group alone has already pocketed over $1 billion in ICE contracts this year. CoreCivic and LaSalle Corrections, too. All lining up for their cut. The more people Trump locks up, the richer they get. This was never about “bad hombres” or public safety. It’s a cash cow in shackles based on blatant xenophobia. “ and, as you point out, the same people funded Trump’s campaign, knowing their cut would grow exponentially after Trump’s election.

And it's important to remember in this era of a lawless administration bent on getting people to "self deport", that convincing people to act self destructively is way easier if they've been LOBOTOMIZED. Trans Orbital Lobotomy takes only seconds. Cingulectomy and Axial-Radial X-ray lobotomy take only a few minutes. So what percentage of those who are fed to this monster beast system are being simplified into creatures with no moral ability to resist, a tendency to be easily convinced to self deport and even if they aren't deported, have a life expectancy post-procedure of 5 to 10 years at the most?

"But lobotomy and comparable deliberate brain damage procedures are a Federal death penalty offense!" Sure, and Bondi is sure to see that enforced (not) and Patel will of course encourage his transformed into a criminal organization from it's former law enforcement role FBI to investigate(sure buddy!).

So when legislators visit these facilities they MUST carry lobotomy detection screening tools: a large poster with a variety of large headshot photos. Looking over the top of the poster, point to each picture and ask "how old is this person". Lobotomized persons will generally move their eyes randomly back and forth across the page before answering; normals will fix on each image with their eyes, circle the image with their eyes then answer. Several pictures on the test give clear replicated eye movement results.

But The Thing would of course pardon those who perform these monstrous humanity destroying procedures.

It is essential that every person in ICE custody or released therefrom receive these tests.

Hell, anyone protesting these monsters in office who is detained must be checked before and/or after release. Before this is over, they'll be just lobotomizing all protesters if they aren't already.

These crimes must be stopped! Don't think they're doing it? Check! Properly performed, the screening is 95% accurate. Everyone even "catch and release" at a protest must be checked, with follow up X-ray checking for bone fracture behind the eye(s) and brain scans if they test "random eye movements".

Rachel Maddow or some other place that knows how to deep dive on important issues needs you on their staff. You are that good.

Great reporting. Horrific story. There are reports of how many less deportations are happening under this regime than Obama or Biden. Is this due to inefficiency and chaos on the part of ICE, or is it because they are incarcerating people on American soil to make $$$$.?

How do we know if more are dying. There is no initial identification of who they are kidnapping in the first place, unless loved ones know it in real time, and then they are put into a system with no oversight, no records, nothing to show where they go, how they are, and I would argue , if they die.

That is why I jumped right to calling the FL

Auxhwitz an extermination camp.

Bigger concentration camps are being built in other areas of America.

CECOT is being unrolled in other Central & South American countries ATM.

190 days to build one I recently read.

The heavy handed Salvadorian tactic looks like it will be adopted by other countries in Latin America.

Politacal dissedents or writers could end up being cages like scared monkeys with no trial or release date.

This fkn world is coming apart at the seams IMO.

I'm not being paranoid. I looking at this from a realistic perspective and getting ready for the jackboots like the USA is using. What a fkn disgrace. I am watching this from a long distance and i am losing faith in humanity.

Oh and to add fuel to the fire the stable coin is about to pass if it hasn't already.

Welcome to the dystopian future.

Get ready for the CCP lifestyle. Keep your head down, shut up, go to work, pay your taxes or you will be cut off and go hungry.

I do want to learn about all the horrible things this man is doing, but I also want to know what else we can do. An informed public is a good way to start. But what do we do to get something else rolling besides just knowing about it??

In my view Americans have short memories and are slow to learn. Trump attempted many of the things he’s doing now during his first go round. It was semi successful until Americans started to see the faces of actual people and listened to little children’s voices begging ICE agents to let them call their aunties for help. It appears that was forgotten and Trump, Miller and the rest learned from their mistakes. Now the faces are whisked away quickly so they aren’t seen and voices aren’t heard. Mass deportation signs being waved, talk of immigrants poisoning the blood of our country, and the rest was not taken seriously enough. Now here we are again and in a much more dire situation. Lawmakers won’t change what is going on now. They’ve had decades to deal with immigration in a humane, sane way and have done nothing. It’s we the people who must decide. Either we believe in the words etched on the Statue of Liberty or we don’t. If we do then it will be up to us to stop this madness. Protest and defiance does change things but it has to be mass and centered on specific, concrete demands. Protests don’t do that now in an effective way. A nation demanding no masks, clear identification, warrants, and due process for all in mass has power. Trump does back down if enough pressure is applied. I believe in applying that pressure now in a better way so our voices can’t be ignored. The window is short before we could be shut down so now is the time to act.

It’s all about the money for trump - for Stephen Miller it’s about how much cruelty he can add to the process. And he’s trumps choice to administer immigration.

Donna Sinn's avatar

Trump and Miller are executing Project 2025. Project 2025 is a Heritage Foundation wet dream. And cruelty is part of the plan.

We gave to be concerned whether there will be 2026 elections.

We must be ready to resist and revolt.

There is benefit to number so the more people who resist the better.
