ICE agent (real quote): “We are making every stop to take someone's freedom away and send them back to a hell hole.”

A joint statement from Texas Cattle Feeders Association, Kansas Livestock Association and Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association regarding the ongoing ICE operations in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas: “The Kansas Livestock Association, Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association and Texas Cattle Feeders Association are closely monitoring reported U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity affecting agricultural communities in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas. Our organizations respect the responsibility of federal agencies to enforce the law. At the same time, cattle producers, feedyards, dairies, livestock markets, processors, and other rural businesses depend on a stable workforce to care for animals, protect food safety, and keep the supply chains operating. Sudden workforce disruptions can create immediate animal-welfare, operational, and economic consequences that extend well beyond an individual business. These ICE operations are having a massive chilling effect on the legal, documented, skilled workers that put beef on the table and keep the cattle supply chain moving. Additionally, these types of disruptions will lead to higher beef prices for consumers. Reported impacts to our organizations throughout the past few days have been: - Thousands of fed cattle slated for shipping to processors now delayed, resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue and additional costs. - Workforce disruptions at numerous supply chain chokepoints such as feedyards, dairies, processors, feed and grain companies, transportation hubs, and community services. These disruptions come at a time of enhanced focus and pressure on the cattle and beef supply chain. They are a costly and unnecessary impact to cattle producers already suffering from unwelcome political interference to both the markets as well as the physical supply chain. Frustratingly, the harm these actions cause to cattle producers last for days and weeks after such operations conclude. We urge federal officials to conduct enforcement actions in a lawful, orderly, and transparent manner; respect due process; and communicate clearly with affected employers and communities.”

Incredible. First @SecMullinDHS claimed that @DHSgov identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials said, no no no, that’s just people we flagged, here’s the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

New: A judge issued a final, scathing order against ICE for 26 Federal Plaza's conditions, granting class certification for ALL current/future detainees inside. "ICE knew ... that how it was treating detainees was wrong, yet it continued to do it anyway." courthousenews.com/in-final-…

JUST IN: A federal judge has issued a permanent injunction upbraiding ICE for mass arrests that have strained detention facilities and forced detainees all over the country into "overcrowded, squalid, and degrading rooms for excessive periods of time" nysd.uscourts.gov/sites/defa…

some credit to @MigrantInsider too no? he did this angle first

It’s in the story, and @PabloReports knows.

I’m of the mind that whom specifically she called a faggot is a key missing context in the saga of Bloody Mary Peltola.

At least 10 Congressional Black Caucus members have publicly questioned DHS's use of Palantir tech. The CBC’s communications office declined to comment and referred HuffPost to its foundation. A spokesperson for Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.), who chairs the caucus, said her office could not comment. HuffPost reached out to five other prominent CBC members, and none responded to requests for comment. Read more here: huffpost.com/entry/palantir-…

Iconic.

Welcome to the resistance Senator Marshall. I see that you finally figured out ICE is out of control.

New Gallup poll has US approval of socialism at highest level ever. Women, people of color, Democrats, and people aged 18-34 all view socialism more positively than capitalism. Among people aged 35-54 and those who make less than $99K, socialism & capitalism are neck and neck.

Today, DHS's Refugee, Asylum, & Internat'l Operations Directorate sent a memo to Joseph Edlow, head of USCIS. It proposed getting unaccompanied migrant children in front of immigration judges w/in "24 hours" of their asylum cases being opened. (Normally, that period is 3 wks) 1/

Hey @StevenCheung47, May I renew my hard pass as well? It expired after I inadvertently went a month without swiping in. My bad. Happy to join any group heades to the ID office today or tomorrow, if possible. Sorry for the inconvenience. Cheers, Pablo Manriquez MeidasTouch/MigrantInsider
