We found the Trump administration kept about 300 kids at the Dilley detention center for more than a month, despite a long-standing legal settlement that generally limits the time children can be held in detention to 20 days.

UPDATE: Staff at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas have begun raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children. This is in response to the ace reporting by @micarosenberg et al for ProPublica: https://t.co/ZZ6CpUNs2C

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position.

Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

🚨NEWS: Another migrant has died in ICE custody, this time in Clayton, Georgia, according to the Mexican Foreign Ministry. I believe this is 5th migrant to die in ICE custody this year ... and it's only Jan. 15

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to you.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

[Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez @repdeliaramirez]

Just so we are clear: ICE went into a day care center—a private business—without a judicial warrant, and unlawfully kidnapped a worker in front of parents and children.

Our taxpayer dollars are being used to violate our rights, terrorize our communities, and traumatize children. It is time to defund ICE.

Immigration feds said they were arresting people downtown based on “how they look,” top U.S. Border Patrol official told WBEZ.

That’s racial profiling.

In just 48 hours, at least four children have reportedly died of starvation.

Over 100 people have died from malnutrition during this war, and 80% of them are children.

“These deaths are unconscionable - and could have been prevented. The UN-led humanitarian response must be allowed to function fully through unfettered aid access to children in need.” - @UNICEFmena's Edouard Beigbeder

We need a ceasefire and the release of the hostages. And we need it now.

And just like that *total* funding for policing in America (local/state/federal combined) has been increased by 15%, with almost all of that money going to Trump’s secret police force and its growing network of prison camps to disappear people to.

ICE took her mother in Chicago. Now a 6-year-old is left without a guardian or a legal path to reunite in Honduras.

A story about the children left behind by deportations—and the lack of infrastructure to care for them in the U.S or for reunification.

Obama signed the agreement that would’ve prevented Iran from having nuclear weapons. But the racist who replaced him cancelled it out of pettiness and decided to go to war instead. Now he’s bombed the places we would’ve been monitoring under that agreement. Truly underhanded, petty behavior/strategy that has directly produced a completely avoidable war with a major country.
