NEW: President Trump has turned the immigration courts into part of his vast deportation machine by pressuring judges to deny people asylum and firing those who do not comply. The asylum rate has fallen to its lowest rate in decades.

@SenJohnKennedy Further still, is it illegal for an immigration detention officer to rape an immigrant in his custody while holding out the opportunity for her to see her child?

You seem focused on the potential crimes committed by the population instead of the actual crimes committed by ICE

[ISLA Immigration @islaimmigration]

@SenJohnKennedy Additional follow up, is it illegal to shoot someone ~10 times because they were recording you and you have fully subdued and disarmed them?

Additional follow up, is it illegal for immigration detention officers to strangle a man in their custody to death?

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

@BartDePalma @JonathanBlitzer @NewYorker What is an “economic migrant?”

@TriciaOhio @ICEgov @POTUS @Sec_Noem So, believe what you say not your documents?

ICE armed with assault rifles break down bedroom door—yelling "I'm going to take you down!"

"I'm going to use this!" agent said pointing to gun. "We are going to gas your whole house."

Lupe López was asleep in bed—so we're her 8 & 13 year old brothers.

"Why do you do this?" woman filming asks. "Why do you break families apart? You don't have a family?"

ICE claims they were searching for a relative who hit one of their vehicles—his family says "They made this up."

The incident occurred in Lower Providence Township, Pennsylvania—about 15 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

BREAKING: Cumberland County, Maine Sheriff says ICE agents detained one of their own BLACK corrections recruits.

He was a clean-record officer with valid identification. The officer clearly identified himself and told ICE where his ID was.

Is this what you voted for?

[Homeland Dems @HomelandDems]

@DHSgov If he was arrested for assaulting law enforcement, why was he released and found battered in a Walmart parking lot?

We don’t believe a word you say.

ICE stormed a U.S. citizen’s home in Queens.
No warrant. No crime.
Assault rifles on children.
Threats to take them away.
The “target”? Didn’t live there.

This is lawless. It won’t stop on its own.

It teaches what to do when the knock comes.
It grounds you in law.
It stabilizes your voice.
It shields your rights.

[WarMonitor @TheWarMonitor]

ICE agents unlawfully detained a U.S. citizen in Dublin, Ohio, while she was volunteering to inform immigrants of their rights. She repeatedly identified herself as a citizen as agents restrained her.
