    This is about Texas but I'll put it here.

    "McALLEN — Adults fighting kids for clean water, despondent toddlers and a child with swollen feet denied a medical exam — these first-hand accounts from immigrant families at detention centers included in a motion filed by advocates Friday night are offering a glimpse of conditions at Texas facilities."

      More moving people around so the lawyers cannot bring habeus corpus applications (they need to be brought where the person is)

      "From there, Diaz Morales was sent to a holding room at Baltimore’s ICE office. And while attorneys worked to file a petition for writ of habeas corpus ..., at some point ICE transferred her to Louisiana — a troubling move given both the ongoing legal effort to keep her in Maryland and the state’s reputation as a deportation hub."

      Greg Bovino is in charge of the splashy arrests. They are ineffective and incompetent, so they lie about results.

      "Bovino claimed the 78 people arrested had criminal records. But in an investigation, CalMatters reported that only one of those detained had a prior record with the border patrol agency. In an interview, Bovino made it clear that his definition of criminality included entering the US without proper documentation."

      "That ICE is an agency rife with allegations of sexual abuse against detainees is not surprising. “He grabbed my breasts,” a detainee named Maria told the New York Times in 2018, describing an assault by a male guard. “He put his hands in my pants and he touched my private parts. He touched me again inside the van, and my hands were tied. And he started masturbating.” "

      Trump said the drop in immigration across the border is because of the wall he built but he only built 52 miles of new wall (about 450 including replacement & secondary well)

      More lies.

      "The original plan was to erect a barrier stretching 1,000 miles along the nearly 2,000-mile southern border.

      [When] Trump left office in Jan 2021, only about 450 miles of barrier had been built — much of which replaced or reinforced existing structures rather than creating new walls."

      "Technically, the Palantir stock is in a brokerage account for one of Miller’s young children, but that does not legally matter, according to the Office of Government Ethics, which says “an asset that is owned by a spouse or minor child is analyzed under 18 U.S.C. § 208 [the criminal conflict of interest law] as if the employee owns it."

      ... Barrientos is not alone. On any given day, there are about 50,000 immigrants being held in detention, most of them in private prisons. Just to be clear, these immigrants are not incarcerated as punishment for a crime; rather, they are being held in what’s called “civil” detention until their deportation cases can be heard by an immigration judge or an appeals court. Under the law, “civil” detention is supposedly non-punitive ...

      At 28th and Blaisdell, a Minnesota Star Tribune photographer captured a close-up of federal agents spraying an irritant in a person’s face. Around the same time, Border Patrol Cmdr. Greg Bovino was captured on video tossing a smoke canister._

      Now why would a senior person want to be lobbing gas canisters personally unless he got off on that kind of stuff.

      Here are the kinds of people Trump hired to be ICE goons:

      "After they passed a group of ICE agents on the way to work, a vehicle with two ICE officers inside followed them, rolled its window down, with one of the officers calling her a “Karen” for briefly filming with her phone.

      “The exchange from the male driver was, ‘I’m gonna arrest three more families today, just for you, ha ha ha – and this evil, sinister laugh,” Brennan said. “We were both stunned and shocked.”"

      Here is Tom Homan saying that people with _no_ criminal records would be deported.

      "undocumented immigrants with no criminal records would be deported."

      Obama had more deportations and focused on the criminals. Trump has fewer deportations and he's not focused on the criminals, meaning criminals get to live in the United States for longer because they're not being deported.

      Trump is moving illegal status children to Texas so they can't get proper legal representation.

      "Since taking office last year, Trump officials have chipped away at these protections, including making it more difficult for relatives to obtain children in custody, arresting them after welfare checks and suing to end a decades-long federal settlement agreement overseeing the rights of children in custody. Children are now staying in federal detention for months, prompting congressional scrutiny."

      And by the way, deportations were highest under Obama and they were of the _criminals_

      So congratulations, Republicans. You've made the United States less safe. But then it's not about safety is it

      It's about stealing all the money and riding a racist rage tide

      However, our system is so broken that a guy like Roberto that's came here, has worked his butt off, has built a business, he's thriving in a niche, and he is a valuable asset to our community, how is there not a way for him to be legal?"

      The white men in charge of ICE, including Trump, have

      1. killed 31 detainees in ICE custody in 2025, the highest number recently, and
      2. killed 6 detainees already in 2026.

      So this is 37 times as much murder as the single murder Trump posted.

      ICE has thrown an 86-year-old French woman in jail. She had come to America to marry her old sweetheart from the 1960s. (They met then. No, he was not a time traveller.)

      They got married last year. She applied for a green card. Before she received it, he unexpectedly passed away. Her immigration status became unclear.

      She ended up overstaying her 90-day visa.

      ICE arrested her and shackled her hands and feet when they did so.

      She's still in jail.

      ICE arrested and Afghani who had worked as a US interpreter during the war. ICE later released him.

      They then arrested an 18-year-old in his family and then later released him saying it was an administrative error.

      The secret police are neither known for their accuracy nor their precision.

      Police can get paid by Trump to deport people including minors. Some payments are per arrest so that would be a bounty.

      Blue states don't receive these payments.
