ICE goons box a mother with her children in their car. ICE "takes" the mother, leaving her children on the side of the road. An ICE goon then takes her children in a white sedan. Where are the children now? Newark, NJ

Hearing from folks in NJ that ICE agents are posing as customers on FB Marketplace to get "targets" to meet up with them in parking lots. People should be aware that social media is an important source of information for contractors & federal agents looking for our neighbors. Also... 🧵

NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The midterms aren’t just about who holds power for the next two years. In key swing states, voters are also choosing who will oversee the 2028 presidential election. And, Republicans are backing governors who doubted or denied the 2020 results.

Calling a federal judge histrionic is quite the litigation strategy, let’s see how that works out for them!

Last fall, DHS began handing out skip-tracing contracts to companies willing to help ICE find more people to snatch away to camps. Skip tracers rely heavily on the commercial data aggregators that hoard information about all of us. (LexisNexis claims well over 80B records from over 10k sources!)

Is it bad if major defense contractors have their own foreign policies?

*three hours of waiting in line*

Ultra-wealthy donors are spending a staggering $430 million to fight state efforts to raise their taxes. If they can afford to drop millions of dollars to keep their taxes low, they can afford to pay slightly higher taxes. They’re making the case for taxing the rich better than anyone else could.

As the inimitable Ken White says all the time, it's not RICO. What a laughable idea.

One to watch: A proposed Cook County ordinance amendment would close the loophole allowing sensitive data to make it into ICE's hands via brokers like LexisNexis, potentially becoming a model for communities across the country. Cook County residents, please reach out to your commissioners ⬇️

Your regular reminder that for DECADES, a consistent majority of the American public have told pollsters that undocumented immigrants living here for years should have a chance to "fix their papers." The "deport them all" crowd are the minority, and always have been.

The federal ban on government contractor campaign contributions is "more loophole than law," @eepetry.bsky.social wrote in @justsecurity.org. "In every election cycle, major government contractors...give tens of millions of dollars to both parties" through affiliates.

“With less than two weeks left of this study period, we are concerned that there does not appear to have been any attempt to seek out any meaningful incorporation of public input in the process,” Shocking. rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/10/15/f... #Flock #DeFlock #Axon #Surveillance #AxonAxoff

Why does this Specialist with the 155 Armored Brigade Combat Team out of Tupelo, Miss., need ballistic eyewear to walk on a public sidewalk outside a shopping center in Columbia Heights??

The ICE officer who faces charges for road raging in Minneapolis (pulling a gun on a random motorist who blocked him from driving his unmarked SUV on the shoulder) broke into tears on the stand and said he was under a lot of stress, ok?

“We need to stop the mass deportation agenda, this ethnic cleansing of the United States is not in our interest. It’s damaging to us as a nation, to what we stand for, to our economy, it’s very damaging to our image to the world, and, of course, it destroys the lives of so many people.”

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?

The ethnic cleansing agenda not just cruel. It's also unbelievably stupid. From @pabloreports.bsky.social: migrantinsider.com/p/the-fine-p...

As ICE stalks and kills our neighbors, LexisNexis is selling them access to detailed profiles of our lives drawing on more than 82 billion public & proprietary records from over 10,000 sources. Many of those records come from local law enforcement agencies.

for some ppl privacy arguments don't resonate. 'nothing i do is illegal.' ok sure. but the case against surveillance goes beyond individual privacy. it's also abt the huge risks unregulated companies & governments pose to society, and as shown in this illuminating WSJ story, national security.

Feds used a piece of tech that simulates a cell tower so all the phones in an area will connect to it so they can find someone working on journalism. Other countries have cut down national security signals intelligence programs just at the risk it might collect journalists' communications!

Thousands of local agencies provide police records—including data about 911 callers, victims & witnesses—to a LexisNexis database that ICE relies on to find our immigrant neighbors. Join us on 10/22 to learn more & get the tools you need to protect your community: www.mobilize.us/deiceaction/...

Mullin began the press conference by saying "We are enforcing this nation's laws. Why is it controversial? Why would that be controversial?" As if all of human history doesn't show that laws and their enforcement can be very controversial (e.g., the 1765 Stamp Act and its impact on U.S. history).

Is your local law enforcement agency feeding data into LexisNexis's pipeline to ICE? The Portland Police, Sacramento Police, Orange County Sheriff's Department, and thousands more are. Register to get the information and tools you need to take action and protect your community. ⬇️

Damn. What an icon. RIP

Agents of the state appear to have invented sworn testimony to justify arresting people. ICE lies, and people get deported because of it. This is why so many people are calling for ICE to be abolished. It has lost its legitimacy, and it's their own fault.

Also, I want to highlight this part of the case for all the pilots and avgeeks out there. I’ve heard ICE is doing this with manifests from a number of sources, but this is, as far as I know, the first confirmation. Really shows the complicity of the pilot-in-command. This was an Omni flight.

LexisNexis plays a key role in ICE's mass surveillance apparatus. Join us on Oct. 22 to learn how they're sharing information from police records with ICE and get a toolkit for local action.

This is happening all over rural America. We need to wake up, people. There's no Greg Bovino in his Nazi coat to blow whistles it. It's daily Gestapo-type terror, aided by the banality of evil local cops www.sltrib.com/news/2026/10...

Trump says Iran should attack American cities: “Let ‘em take out Los Angeles and San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

“They know that they can outsource some of the immigration enforcement functions to private markets in order to scale the scope of the intimidation tactics,” said Charles Moore, a staff attorney at Public Justice.

“Last year I met a Mexican man who was very sick. He had a serious problem, an infection in his mouth, and they didn’t provide any treatment. When I left and got back in my truck, I began to cry. The 1st thing I thought was that more people will continue to die in Adelanto for want of medical care.”
