BREAKING: A Chinese immigrant is found dead in ICE custody with his hands and feet bound in a “hog-tied" position and they’re insisting that it was suicide.

There are no words for this horror…

“It is truly mystifying how any detention facility can let someone leave their room, create three nooses and then hang themselves without anyone knowing,” said David B. Rankin, the attorney for the victim’s family. “What’s worse is the lack of mental health care which could have prevented this tragedy. Mr. Ge’s death represents a totally failure on the part of the GeoGroup and the DHS.”

The 32-year-old Chaofeng Ge died on August 5th just four days after he was placed in ICE custody in Pennsylvania. The report from ICE — an agency that has proven itself to be habitually cruel and dishonest under Kristi Noem’s fascist leadership — states that agents discovered Ge with “a cloth ligature around his neck.”

The autopsy stated that Ge had been tied with a bedsheet and was “hog-tied” with linens around his ankles and wrists. The medical examiner stated that there have been other incidents where individuals supposedly did similar things to themselves.

Notably, Ge was assessed through the use of an interpreter on August 1st and stated that he had no medical or mental health issues that needed tending to. Just four days later he was found non-responsive in a shower stall and was pronounced dead 40 minutes later.

“I am devasted by the loss of my brother and by the knowledge that he was suffering so greatly in that detention center,” said the deceased’s brother Yanfeng Ge. “He did not deserve to be treated that way. I want justice for my brother, answers as to how this could have happened, and accountability for those responsible for his death.”

Newsweek reports that at least 15 immigrants have died so far in ICE facilities during Trump’s second term. Until these brutal practices end that number will just continue to rise.

Ge’s family has fired a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security demanding answers about their loved one’s untimely death. They allege that ICE denied Ge proper mental healthcare.

The most benign explanation for this death is suicide but even with the lack of defensive wounds, one simply cannot rule out the possibility of foul play given the dehumanizing manner in which Trump’s MAGA enforcers view migrants. Even if Ge did take his own life, it’s no less a tragedy. This young man did not need to be terrorized and imprisoned in inhumane conditions. Because of this administration’s policies, an innocent man has died.

Please retweet and ❤️ to demand that ICE release the full details about Ge’s death.

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces.
But I see everything.

Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments.

One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?"
"6:15," he said, confused.
"Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it."
He blinked. "You... you can do that?"
"I can now," I said.

Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?"
"Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing."
He cried. Right there in the parking lot.

Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic.
But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!"

"Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel."

He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us."

The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over."

Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it.

But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note,

"Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends"
People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket.
I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece."

So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones.

Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees.
It's not glamorous. But it's everything."

Let this story reach more hearts....

Trump's Project 2025 is intended to remove 100M people from the USA by deporting immigrants and letting the poor & sick die by pricing them out of Medicaid and Medicare. He wants them dead.

This is eugenics. This is what Hitler did.

This is what's happening right here, right now.

Are you cool with this?

I live in Chicago… I live a block over from Cicero. ICE visited my home yesterday. ICE didn’t knock. ICE tried to forcefully open my window. ICE opened my screen and asked me to sign papers. I AM an American Citizen. Born on U.S. soil. ICE forcefully tried to enter my home! WAKE UP AMERICA!

[😱 Scary Larry 😱 🇺🇦✊🏻🇺🇸🗽 @aintscarylarry]

ICE said they were only going after “illegal immigrants.”

Then they went after anyone who looked Hispanic or spoke Spanish.

Now they’re going after Black people.

And then the homeless. And they’re just getting started.

If you wonder how it felt in 1933 Germany, you’re there.

Video footage from Tik Tok shows OPD pulling over Terence “Bud” Crawford last night.

Mayor John Ewing issued the following statement:

“My statement on Bud Crawford traffic stop:

I learned Omaha police pulled over Terence “Bud” Crawford on a traffic stop downtown early this morning. After learning of this, I spoke personally to Bud Crawford. I acknowledge the seriousness of what occurred and how trust between law enforcement and our community is important and shows the need to be continuously vigilant about building relationships.

Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer has pledged an internal investigation, which I support and want to be full and thorough. We will gather all the facts and transparent with the public about our findings.

Understand that my heart dropped in learning of this end to an otherwise wonderful day and evening celebrating our city’s world boxing champion. We held a great parade and great event at Heartland of America park. The evening birthday party at Steelhouse, which I and members of my team attended, was a showing of joy and pride. Omaha needs to remember this important day as a good one while we seek answers to how it ended.

Meanwhile, we must ensure that every resident, no matter who they are, feels safe and respected in Omaha.”

ICE just ripped a father from his car outside his child’s PRESCHOOL in Beaverton, Oregon.

Masked thugs shattered his window like a SWAT raid—while his child, a toddler, was in the car.

Mahdi Khanbabazadeh is married to a U.S. citizen and mid–green card process. This wasn’t about law—it was about cruelty, fear, and power.

ICE has become a rogue force, snatching parents in front of kids. Schools aren’t safe. Homes aren’t safe. We must ABOLISH ICE.

Raise hell. Share this story. Call your reps and demand action. End family separation. End this war on immigrants.
