I guess the benefit of having to deal with our current fascist overlords is the level of idiocy they operate at.

Speaking of idiocy, they're actually setting up "third world" detention centers without bothering with going anywhere in the "third world" to do so.

Tuberculosis Spawning in Crowded, Dirty ICE Detention Centers - The American Prospect

Doctors and medical researchers expect more outbreaks of infectious disease as the Trump administration crams thousands more people into miserable conditions.

prospect.org

Consumption is flourishing in immigration detention centers across the country, yet another sign that America is grinding its way through a second Gilded Age. It’s better known now by its other name, tuberculosis, and it’s the most deadly infectious disease in the world, the World Health Organization says, responsible for killing 1.5 million people each year, even though it’s both preventable and curable.

Detainees have tested positive for tuberculosis at the Anchorage Correctional Complex in Alaska and Adelanto ICE Processing Center in California, according to news reports. One immigrant died days after a diagnosis of the disease in the Eloy Detention Center in Arizona, an ICE death notice shows. Detainees may have been exposed at the Denver Contract Detention Facility in Aurora, according to a lawsuit. And in Washington state, several possible cases of tuberculosis in the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma were reported this month to state authorities, and one man was hospitalized for it, his attorney said.

This is a nice change and all, but it might have helped if all these people had gone woke about a year back or so. No idea if it would have changed anyone's vote, but...

Phone Searches at the US Border Hit a Record High

Customs and Border Protection agents searched nearly 15,000 devices from April through June of this year, a nearly 17 percent spike over the previous three-month high in 2022. "The real issue is the chilling effect it has on all travelers."

Even before I read this, Unless it was absolutely necessary I wouldn't visit the US at the moment even if you paid me (or, to be strictly accurate, I've turned down an expenses-paid invitation to a business conference, politely explaining that, what with my concerns about both my health and the current domestic situation in the US, I'd rather participate remotely).

That caution applies to a lot of U.S. citizens as well, but most especially to green card holders. Unless absolutely necessary, don't cross the border because chances are that any excuse will be used to take you into custody and revoke your citizenship status. ICE has quotas to fill, and a lot of pressure to meet those unrealistic goals.

It's like they forgot to pretend they are doing something other than just harassing latinos. But really... would be awesome if people in those towns got organized to all do this.

I would have suggested this mod, but it's not really related to Mexico.


ETA: That truck should follow those ICE thugs around, though.

Homeowner shoots, kills 2 men in ski masks claiming to be officers, HPD says

Two men are dead after police say they were impersonating officers at a southeast Houston home overnight.

The homeowner told police the two men said they were police and claimed they were at the home to serve a warrant.

"[The homeowner] became suspicious, because, you know, they have a ring camera too, and the suspects were saying they had a warrant, but it was just two people and they're masked up and no police cars, no lights or anything like that," said Lt. Khan with HPD.

At some point, police said the men shot at the homeowner through the door, prompting the homeowner to return fire.

The homeowner was not hurt in the gunfire, but the two men were both hit and pronounced dead at the scene.

It could have gone another way.

Police said if you're ever unsure whether it is really the police outside your door, there are some signs to look for.

"Obviously, a police car with some sort of lights and sirens and a bullhorn where we'll be announcing ourselves," HPD Detective Kyle Stringer told Choi.

Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks.

I guess Mr. Stringer is not whatcha call a "newshound," eh?

How is this lawful? He's in the custody of the federal court system, who expect him to be produced, or to produce himself, for trial, isn't he? I'm trying to imagine what would happen in the UK if the Home Secretary tried to deport a defendant without the court's consent after he'd been charged and bailed, and I simply can't. The judge would probably order the Home Secretary's arrest for contempt of court.

You think the Trump administration concerns itself with law? Whatever the Dictator-in-Chief decrees is all the law they need.

She apparently didn't even put the sticker on the car to "waste ICE's time" - it was simply there and racist ICE thugs wasted HER time, so she decided to keep it.


Just use white instead of yellow and a different shade of green, put it on a bag, keychain etc.
