BREAKING: ICE just tried to deport this woman, but there was just one problem — she was Native American.

You read that right: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — the agency supposedly tasked with deporting undocumented immigrants — just tried to deport an Indigenous woman whose ancestors have been here for thousands of years.

Leticia Jacobo, a 24-year-old member of Arizona’s Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, was born in Phoenix — but that didn’t stop ICE from trying to ship her “back” to a country she doesn’t even belong to.
Here’s how this jaw-dropping injustice unfolded: Jacobo was sitting in a Polk County, Iowa jail after being booked for allegedly driving with a suspended license — nothing violent, nothing serious.
Her mother, Ericka Burns, was preparing to pick her up and bring her home when jail staff dropped a bombshell: “She’s not being released. ICE is coming to deport her.”

Her mom was stunned. “How can you deport her?” she asked. “She’s Native American!”
But the jail staff shrugged it off. They said they were “just holding her” for ICE. No one — not a single person — could explain how or why this was happening.

Jacobo’s family went into overdrive — calling, emailing, begging officials to stop what was about to become one of the most shameful bureaucratic blunders in modern history. They reached out to tribal leaders, shared pleas on Facebook, and even showed up at the jail with her birth certificate to prove she’s an American citizen.

And still, officials hesitated. Hours ticked by while ICE prepared to take her.

Finally, after an agonizing all-night standoff, she was released around 4:30 a.m. — barely.
And what’s ICE’s excuse? A “clerical error.”
Lt. Mark Chance from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office casually dismissed it as “human error.” Just a little mix-up, they said. The detainer was meant for someone else, and they just happened to attach it to the file of a Native American woman born on U.S. soil.

“We’ll have some meetings about it,” Chance said. “This is silly.”
Silly? This wasn’t “silly.” This was an attempted deportation of a woman whose people are the original inhabitants of this land, by a government agency that has no idea whose land it’s even on.

Let that sink in: the United States government almost deported an Indigenous woman from her own country.
This is what happens when an agency like ICE is given unchecked power — where “clerical errors” can destroy lives, and where systemic racism and dehumanization are written into the paperwork. If her family hadn’t fought like hell, Leticia Jacobo could have been vanished into ICE custody — another name lost in a broken, brutal system.

It’s time to abolish this corrupt and incompetent agency that can’t even tell the difference between an immigrant and an Indigenous citizen.
Because if ICE can come for Native Americans, they can come for anyone.

No words can take pain away from tragedy. Thoughts and prayers are nice but only action brings about change.

Be better to each other.

My heart goes out to the victims of the Evergreen, Colorado school shooting.

Want a tax break or special favor from the government? No problem.

If, unlike Qatar, you can’t afford to give Trump a $400 million plane, just walk into the White House with a modest gold statue like Apple CEO Tim Cook. That works, too.

Kleptocracy in action.

there is no way to protest against fascism that the fascist powers will deem acceptable. when protest is peaceful, they respond with violence. when protest is not peaceful, they respond with violence. So ultimately, those who are siding with ice, the cops, and the federal government believe that the only correct form of protest is no protest at all

Concerning. This demands coverage.

horrifying details from the statement of Jonathan Joss’ husband regarding his murder. Just 2 days ago, Jonathan had been at ATX TV Festival to promote the King of the Hill reboot with fellow cast members, and now he is dead because homophobia is still alive and well in this “civilized” society.

On the first day of Pride Month, Jonathan was murdered because he was a gay man in America. We must honor his memory by continuing to fight for lgbtq+ rights. Pride is not just a celebration, but a revolution. It began that way, and it remains so until true equality is achieved.

They burned down his house, killed him and his husband’s dog, showed them the dead dogs skulls, called them homophobic slurs, and then shot them. That’s not a fucking argument and NYPost should feel fucking ashamed to have posted this.

A suspected white supremacist named Austin Metcalf (pictured with his twin) allegedly demanded honor student Karmelo Anthony give up his seat—like it was the Jim Crow era. Karmelo defended himself from the alleged threat. The Daniel Penny case set this precedent.

[i Expose Racists & Pedos @SeeRacists]

‼️NEW INFO: The TRUTH About Karmelo — This from Kevin Haynes of facebook.

Let’s Set the Record Straight!

Enough with the misinformation. Let’s talk about facts.

1️⃣ It’s NORMAL for students from different schools to gather under another school’s tent. Karmelo had friends there—he wasn’t trespassing or looking for trouble.

2️⃣ The claim that one of the twins had never seen Karmelo before? A blatant lie.

3️⃣ No student has the right to remove another student from a SCHOOL-OWNED tent. The school owns the tent—not the twins.

4️⃣ Karmelo is a track athlete. The twins are NOT. He wasn’t even expecting to see them there.

Now, here’s what they don’t want you to know:

⚠️ The twins didn’t just “ask him to leave.” They tried to JUMP him.
⚠️ Before attacking him, they tried to take his belongings, BROKE his phone, and STOMPED on it.
⚠️ The twins are KNOWN BULLIES.

So ask yourself: If two 200+ lb attackers came at YOUR child, what would you expect them to do?

And yet, despite everything, the media is trying to destroy Karmelo’s name. They keep posting a picture of him with an AIRSOFT GUN—not even a real firearm—to manipulate public perception. Why? Because they want to paint him as a criminal instead of a victim.

Let’s talk about WHO Karmelo really is:

✅ A respectful, well-mannered young man
✅ A 4.0 student with multiple college offers
✅ A kid with ZERO criminal history—not even a blemish
✅ A son raised in a loving home by parents who taught him right from wrong

A life was lost, and that is tragic. But what’s also tragic is the way the media is twisting this story to fit their own agenda.

Karmelo defended himself against violent aggressors. That is NOT a crime.

Do NOT let the media race-bait you. Do NOT let them manipulate the facts.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard.

I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment.

It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered.

It will show that when our president chose to spread lies and sow fear, we chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together.

Elon Musk and Marjorie Taylor Greene are trying to defund Sesame Street and dismantle PBS and NPR. Not on our watch.

Fire Elon Musk, and Save Elmo.
