- People have lost their jobs, businesses, healthcare, family members, community members, sense of safety and security, privacy, pride of country, way of life, constitutional rights, and confidence in the justice system. They’re worried about losing their jobs and power.
- (AXIOS) - Top Republicans are increasingly worried about private polling that paints a dire picture of the midterms — and it's not just the House they're afraid of losing, it's also the Senate. @axios.com www.axios.com/2026/02/06/g...
- Reposted by Smith816This is why the 4th Amendment says “no person” — instead of “no citizen.” If only citizens have rights, then no one has rights because all they have to do is say you’re not a citizen and then you have no right to prove otherwise.
- JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS. Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

- “The U.S. Department of Homeland Security makes no mention in the records of Tren de Aragua, even though officials repeatedly cited the gang’s presence in the building as the motivation for the raid.”
- our government used a Blackhawk helicopter in a major American city, detained children and zip-tied U.S. citizens all to target... squatters and the alleged Tren de Aragua presence? "It was a brutal lie against the American public." www.propublica.org/article/chic...

- Reposted by Smith816Important column by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social on how our lack of data privacy rights and the proliferation of markets for personal data of all types has enabled the infrastructure of ICE, mass surveillance, and rights violations at scale. Every data point, no matter how small, is a mosaic piece.

- Well this sucks.
- How many more Liams are in camps? Release all the kids and minors. No detention. No targeting.
- I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
- This is funny. The photos of Trump family/staff arriving are all in this format: arrived with husband arrived with fiancé arrived with wife Last one is Musk and the caption is: attended with a venture capitalist and mother to four of his children. The pair are rarely seen together.
- Reposted by Smith816Here is Jesus (Jesse) Ochoa
- “Ochoa is a Border Patrol agent who joined CBP in 2018. Gutierrez joined in 2014 and works for CBP's Office of Field Operations. He is assigned to a special response team, which conducts high-risk operations like those of police SWAT units. Records show both men are from South Texas.”
- Reposted by Smith816BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

- Reposted by Smith816Here's my full 50-page indictment of CBP and ICE and decades of corruption, abuse of force, racism, and misogyny. I promise you — however bad you've ever thought it was, the full reality is even worse, deadlier, and more corrupt. This isn't a "Trump only" phenomenon:
- Thanks to @govpritzker.illinois.gov for setting up the Illinois Accountability Commission to document the abuses of Trump and Stephen Miller's invasions of cities. And thanks to @vermontgmg.bsky.social for this detailed testimony about CBP's history and culture: drive.google.com/file/d/1o4z6...
- United We Stand. This is how you defeat fascism.
- He’s still imprisoned. CA citizen. Imprisoned since May 2023.
- He understands. He simply rejects it. He supports the unitary executive theory.
- Reposted by Smith816I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.
- Reposted by Smith8161/ Ian Austin has since been re-arrested along with Don Lemon, which he believes is bc the video we made of him (below) criticizing the Trump regime and encouraging fellow vets to wake up had gotten millions of views.

- He believes it, but also don’t overlook the fact his entire rise is because of it and he’s nothing without it.
- Interesting read for a variety of reasons, chiefly the dedication of his wife to follow him to each detention location. A few other interesting facts. Like this Walk into Mexico now directive.
- Because, as we all know, historical significance, deep meaning and national pride can simply be purchased with money.

- If you like following primary campaigns, I recommend following Evanston Now journalist Matthew Eadie if you aren’t following already. A lot of good local reporting regarding this race.
- Minneapolis, home of the brave.
- How can they do this to anyone, especially children,we all wonder. These kids represent birthright citizenship.
- The number of children in ICE detention on an average day has skyrocketed 6x since Trump took an office. Families complain of poor medical care and worm-infested food. "It’s only a matter of time before we see a child die," one advocate said. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/01/29/i...

I don’t like big encampments next to train tracks and all of that.”

- End Immunity. End ICE. Two critical changes. Two simple slogans.
- There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

- Excellent suggestion.
