U.S.: Latest on ICE

New from Gaige Davila: Since early July, ICE has arrested people daily in traffic stops throughout the Laguna Madre area of South Texas. On July 14, the agency announced that on just one day in June it had arrested 238 people in the Rio Grande Valley, an apparent record.

In this episode of 'what new depth of human decency did ICE sink to today?', they're arresting car crash victims at the hospital. BTW: "neither woman had a criminal history." - not exactly 'worst of the worst' Keep reminding voters: These inhumane goons were unleashed on society by the GOP.

Calls to abolish our carceral state are dangerous and unrealistic? OK, let’s talk about our carceral state. ICE has a quota of 2,000 arrests a day. Over a year, that maths out to 0.2% of the entire U.S. population. www.the-reframe.com/soon-you-too...

I’m aware of recent and increased ICE activity in CT. I understand this can be unnerving for our community especially as kids head back to school and my office will continue to closely monitor. www.ctpublic.org/news/2026-08...

Whoa. @haleaziz.bsky.social has the scoop on a truly insane plan to use some military training ships for deportations, with people presumably shackled or locked in cells for days at a time as they transit to Central and South America. Each journey would be staggeringly expensive — and dangerous.
