Nobody is asking how real cops have gone this long without masks
they need the masks because what they're doing is immoral, illegal and anti-American
and they're incompetent

https://www.politico.com/news/2026/0...actor-00797951...long-running lawsuit claiming that a private prison contractor broke federal and Colorado law by forcing immigration detainees to work moved closer to trial Wednesday after the Supreme Court unanimously rejected a bid by the company to toss out the case.
...filed in 2014, focused on practices at GEO’s facility in Aurora, Colorado. Immigration detainees there were required to clean all common areas and faced possible solitary confinement for failing to comply. They were offered $1 a day for work preparing food and cleaning laundry at a time when the state’s minimum wage was $8 an hour.
The civil lawsuit alleges that the arrangement violated a federal law prohibiting forced labor and, because the policies saved labor costs for GEO, ran afoul of a Colorado common-law prohibition on unjust enrichment....
Chris Rock: "I used to work at McDonald's making minimum wage. You know what that means when someone pays you minimum wage? You know what your boss was trying to say? It's like, 'Hey if I could pay you less, I would, but it's against the law'".
I know what you mean, but actually, a lot of people have pointed this out, including no small number of US Reps and Senators
everybody knows this
30%-35% of Americans seem to be cool with it, but they wouldn't want their kids to see it
I see GOP governors and US Reps bragging about convincing DHS not to build concentration camps in their state/district
mass deportation freaks are on the wrong end of a 2-1 split
they're not ready at all for Woke 2.0
Of course they all know it. They'll keep doing it until someone forces them not to which may be only after Trump is gone.
the DOD contracting tie plausibly makes this a NATSEC issue to cover up contractor abuse, waste and fraud
I guess I do have to give it to trump for launching a strictly criminal regime against the USA (1787 ed.)
Totally contrary to custom, decency and the law
DOJ has been rekt in Minnesota by the government's heedless and improvident course

A blind refugee detained by US border patrol has died on the street after he was released 8km from his home in sub-zero temperatures.
Nurul Amin Shah Alam, 56, was found dead on a street in Buffalo on Tuesday at 8.30pm.
At the time, temperatures in the upstate New York city were approximately -6 degrees.
A medical examination ruled out exposure or homicide as causes of death.
Alam, who spoke little English, had been declared missing by his family two days earlier.
Alam had been taken into Border Patrol custody last Thursday after leaving the custody of the Erie County Sheriff's Department.

guy was a Rohingya refugee, whoever released him should be arrested and charged with depraved indifference murder
They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

moar luxury jets
lol Kristi Noem's flying palace
https://gillianbrockell.ghost.io/noe...-the-ice-berg/BC News reported last week what avgeeks and ICE watchers have been talking about for months: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has been flying around on a recently acquired luxury Boeing 737. DHS told NBC the jet, which is worth an estimated $70 million and comes with a queen bed, showers, a kitchen, and four flat-screen TVs, would serve a “dual purpose” for Cabinet-level official travel and deportations.
Obviously, this is bull – flight data shows it has never done anything resembling a deportation – but the situation is actually so much worse than this one 737. Over the last four months, Noem’s DHS has acquired at least nine new airplanes, with another on the way. Of those, half appear to be luxury jets.
The latest, a 2016 Gulfstream 650, popped onto my radar (pun intended) on Feb. 20, flying from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to Nashville and back, registered to DHS. A day earlier, it had been registered to Valkyrie Aviation Holdings Group, part of a shadowy network of s companies connected to MAGA-aligned former State Department officials. Together, these companies have gotten more than a billion dollars in DHS contracts in a matter of months.
This story will put together reporting from Vanity Fair, Mother Jones, The War Zone, and The Washington Post, along with new information and my own reporting, to reveal the full scale of DHS's fleet expansion.
Last August, DHS boasted that “Noem personally reviews and approves any contract above $100,000.” Like the stockpiling of weapons and fast-tracked warehouse purchases all over the country, the rapid acquisition of these aircraft shows that Noem’s DHS is swimming in cash and out of control.First, the G7s. We know $50 million had been budgeted for a replacement. The New York Times reports the two upgraded jets will cost $172 million. From where in the USCG budget is that extra $122 million coming? We have no idea! But there’s a Coast Guard member on Reddit whose office hasn't had heat all winter and was just told the funds to fix the HVAC system had dried up, and I don’t think he’s going to be happy about the new jets.
Next, the 737s. Daedalus’s contract to acquire six and stand up an airline was for $140 million. That was always going to be aspirational, but with the luxury 737 alone costing half that, it’s downright impossible. And that doesn’t even factor in the cost of refurbishment or hiring and training the crew they are trying to hire and train. Is that coming from the $915 million Salus contract in the middle of a lawsuit? We have no idea!
DHS tried to convince NBC News that using the luxury 737 for deportations would “sav[e] the American taxpayer hundreds of millions of dollars,” because, “this plane flies at 40 percent cheaper than what the military aircraft flies for ICE deportation flights.” Which, honestly, was a pathetic attempt at the grift.
Military ICE flights are rare, and among the most expensive – some estimates are as high as $28,500 per flight hour. Forty percent off of $28,500 makes $17,000 an hour – still more than CSI Aviation charges for a 737 – $15,865 per flight hour – on its most recent price list. And the latter will fit more passengers.
Lastly, let me say something about where these planes are going. I’ve logged every flight for the USCG jets and the luxury 737 going back to October, and while it is often not possible to know who is using which plane and for what reason, let me just say: Those 17 trips to Noem’s hometown of Watertown, SD, in the last 18 weeks? That was her.
If she misses it so much, perhaps she should go back to stay. Preferably via Greyhound.
Alam is almost completely blind and doesn't speak English
He was roughed up and detained by local police and bound over to Border Patrol
Then released by Border Patrol in subzero weather at night, miles from his home, without notifying anyone
Shah Alam froze to death

they admit it
thanks, DOGE
Through this Declaration, Defendants admit that, on August 7, 2025, the IRS disclosed confidential taxpayer addresses to ICE in violation of Section 6103(i)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Noem bought marked cars for Trump's secret police
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/p...oogle_vignetteA former Trump administration official wasted millions of taxpayer dollars given to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to purchase thousands of employee vehicles that the agency cannot use to arrest illegal immigrants, according to three sources.
ICE’s top brass are quietly searching for a way to amend the remainder of a massive order of pick-up trucks and SUVs that were ordered last year and slated to be wrapped with the agency’s name, logo, and motto, as well as storing away many vehicles that have been delivered to ICE facilities across the country, the Washington Examiner has learned.
“ICE has never had marked vehicles,” the first person familiar with the purchases said in a phone call. “In talking to people, they’re like, ‘We don’t want to use these, we can’t.'”
Last November, the agency said it would spend $2.25 million to buy 25 Chevrolet Tahoes that would be emblazoned with ICE’s new logo and used for recruitment purposes as the agency moved to hire 10,000 new deportation officers following the several vehicles it debuted in August.
The Chevy contract was given to a prominent Republican donor, Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports in North Carolina. It was not completed, meaning that other companies were not allowed to offer proposals and prices that they could fulfill the order for.
An additional $174,000 to $230,000 was given to three companies to wrap the vehicles in their new markings.
https://www.newsweek.com/us-citizen-...icago-11645457A U.S. citizen from Illinois was detained by federal agents at O’Hare Airport in Chicago on Thursday after returning from a work trip.
Sundas “Sunny” Naqvi, 28, was among six people sent to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing centers in Illinois and Wisconsin over what federal officials told them was “curious travel history,” the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Naqvi was held for about 43 hours before being released on Sunday.
Newsweek reached out to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for comment via email Monday morning.....
Kat Abughazaleh, a Democratic congressional candidate in Illinois' 9th District, told the Chicago Sun-Times: “They were only brought home after their families and our community refused to back down and kept asking for answers. This is going to be the new normal if we don’t stand up against it.”...."
If everyone is just honest, it's just sheer racism.
Correct, but that probably describes the official animus only partially
Having a Shia name and visiting Turkish relatives is su ious, right?
