Tom Homan lied. The fascist paramilitary invaders are still in Minnesota. Don't stop until ICE is abolished. Patrol, Observe, Support, and Stay Viigilant. (2/12/26)

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone

❝ Google didn’t immediately respond to questions from The Associated Press about how the footage of the masked person was captured while the camera was apparently disconnected. They also didn’t clarify how the footage was extracted from “backend servers” even though law enforcement said Guthrie didn’t have a subscription.

However, Google’s privacy policy… makes it clear that videos can be captured when a device is offline. ❞

"Meta has started blocking its users from sharing links to ICE List, a website that has compiled the names of what it claims are Department of Homeland Security employees, a project the creators say is designed to hold those employees accountable.
Dominick Skinner, the creator of ICE List, tells WIRED that links to the website have been shared without issue on Meta’s platforms for more than six months.

“I think it's no surprise that a company run by a man who sat behind Trump at his inauguration, and donated to the destruction of the White House, has taken a stance that helps ICE agents retain anonymity,” says Skinner.

As agents from Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which are under DHS, have continued to terrorize immigrant communities and kill US citizens, activists have sought to track and record their activity online in a bid to hold them accountable. But as well as threatening to prosecute those they claim are “doxing” ICE agents, the Trump administration has pressured tech companies to block any efforts at crowdsourcing the location and activities of those agents.

ICE List has been operating since last June. Skinner says it is run by a core team of five people, including him, as well as hundreds of anonymous volunteers who share information about ICE agents operating in cities across the US."

A new report by Netpol reveals that the government is already looking to deepen restrictions on protest elsewhere: namely, those embedded within the National Security Act 2023.

This includes a recommendation to expand police powers to identify, and therefore restrict, dissenting movements as sites of ‘subversion’ – tied to ‘foreign’ or ‘hostile’ interests.

No one is safe with Noem & Bovino’s at large. Fed immigration agents are committing crimes with impunity, endangering everyone who they believe is in their way, resisting, or protesting, & then lie about the incidents, claiming they were injured.

"As long as my record stands in federal court, any American citizen can be held in prison or concentration camps without trial or hearing. I would like to see the government admit they were wrong and do something about it, so this will never happen again to any American citizen of any race, creed, or color." - Fred Korematsu

So I'm up late, watching the news on YouTube when I stumble across this short (14m) Majority Report Segment, about an anonymized ICE employee, testifying to a local news station about the horrifying and inhumane conditions inside a concentration camp located in the Baltimore George H. Fallon federal building. This "detention center" recently made national news when a whistleblower leaked video showing dozens of migrants crammed inside a single cell like sardines in conditions that well, resembled a concentration camp more than even a jail.

Look, I'm not going to lie to you; some of the testimony provided is hard to hear, but this is another story that I think probably has more impact when you hear a real, actual person who was in position to know, talk about the dehumanizing and dangerous conditions inside ICE concentration camps - which as we're learning, appear to be both intentional and systemic in nature, and not the result of one or two bad facilities.

As an aside, shoutout to the WUSA 9 news guys here for going super old school on this high-quality journalism. They reported that the ex-ICE employee couldn't be identified because they'd signed an NDA (uh, should we be making people who work for the migrant carceral complex sign NDAs? Is there any innocent reason for that practice?) but confirmed that they did work at the Baltimore facility in question through employment records, so this is about as credible an anonymous whistleblower interview can possibly be. If only every news organization still cared this much about doing the job right.

ICE Worker Leaks Concentration Camp Ghoulish Conditions

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8fWTFnmH0w

As I mentioned above, the leaker's account of the conditions inside the Baltimore concentration camp are difficult to hear, especially considering the fact that he's clearly still an extremely reactionary immigration hardliner himself. This isn't exactly a person sympathetic to the migrants he was paid to help confine. In very broad strokes the former ICE employee describes habitual and horrific overcrowding, people forced to lay in feces and urine, women forced to wear diapers due to lack of sanitary supplies, as well as physical and psychological abuse of detainees. Furthermore, much of this testimony was supported by headcount sheets, and screenshots from group chats with co-workers. This nightmare is real.

I think perhaps the most important part of the leakers testimony however, is their articulation of the way running the concentration camps saw the ICE employees themselves to begin to see the confined migrants as less than human, even literal animals. As any historian worth her salt will tell you, this dehumanization is both an ever-present byproduct of locking people up en masse in concentration camps for the crime of their birth, and a necessary precondition for pogroms, genocides, and other mass extermination programs under reactionary fascist governments.

After the segment featuring the ICE concentration camp whistleblower, the video then opens into a broader discussion between Sam Seder and Emma Vigeland about the growing evidence that all of this torture and mistreatment is intentional, to force them to give up their legal attempts to stay in the country "voluntarily." And finally our hosts close by noting that the secrecy behind all of this dehumanization, torture, and abuse is rooted in the way DHS and ICE function as part of the specially empowered national security state that grew out of US political class reaction to 9/11 and the War on Terror.

The chickens of racialized American imperial adventurism have indeed, come home to roost.

Given that DHS, and in specific the ICE Gestapo have been the chief vehicle for Trump and Stephen Miller's larger ethno-nationalist purification project in America this past entire year, I don't think there's much hope of me catching you up on what ICE has been up to in the months since I stopped writing have passed. The short version is that they've been up to a whole lot of nazi shit, that makes it clear that at a very minimum Trump's mass deportation agenda is both real as penitentiary steel, and an ethnic cleansing operation in process.

Of course, as far back as 2017, I was writing that Trump and Miller's then 1st term immigration policy was blatant white nationalism, and while the Swine Emperor did not yet have a large enough army to do a genocide (and ethnic cleansing is really just a polite way to say genocide; especially once some clever nazi starts pointing out that bullets cost less than boats) he was molding ICE and CBP into just such a force as we watched on live TV. I'd say that analysis aged pretty well, quite frankly; although I was certainly not the only analyst to notice - Adam Serwer in particular was writing many of the same things and issuing many of the same warnings.

Naturally, anyone who (correctly) analyzed that all of Trump and Miller's stated policy intentions pointed directly towards an ethnic cleansing operation, was dismissed as an alarmist. Yet if we fast forward to the very first year of Trump's second term in office, the reality that the entire US government has been repurposed in a variety of ways to conduct just such an ethnic cleansing in America, is so undeniable as to discredit an establishment that still wishes to pretend otherwise.

Take for example this December 13th opinion piece published in the Guardian; roughly 9 days after Trump sent 3,000 federal Gestapo goons to occupy Minneapolis, but before they'd actually murdered anyone there for exercising their constitutional rights.

The ethnic cleansing of the United States will destroy it

"The rant is abhorrent and factually incorrect, but it does hold one truth – the Trump administration’s vision for the United States is one of a white Christian nation. And the path to accomplish it is through the exclusion and removal of all who do not fit that vision – in other words, through ethnic cleansing.

To that end, Trump and his acolytes have increasingly been using the term “reverse migration” and even proposed an “office of remigration”. The idea, borrowed from white supremacists in Europe, understands immigrants as an inherent threat to the identity of what they imagine to be “white” nations. Immigrants’ forcible and systematic removal – remigration – is envisioned as a way to “restore” that whiteness.

This vision of an ethnically cleansed, white US is being enacted in policy."

As I implied above, I don't think it should be controversial to refer to Trump's mass deportation agenda as an ethnic cleansing project at this point; although to some degree, it still is. The reason I chose this piece by Professor Gowayed however, is because the author walks you through the ways this ethnic cleansing project goes beyond ICE disappearing people in our streets for the color of their skin, and instead has repurposed the entire apparatus of the federal government to "restore" whiteness and white supremacy. Legitimate pathways to citizenship or residency are closed, the regime is seeking to end birthright citizenship and expand the government's power to denaturalize people who've legally obtained citizenship already. The Supreme Court has allowed immigration pigs to stop people based on race, and at the same time an openly white supremacist GOP has poured enough money into the federal Gestapo to transform Trump's immigration security forces into his own private army. The entire federal government is now feeding data into a racialized police state, mass surveillance panopticon, at the very same time the Trump regime is slashing social safety net and support programs that will disproportionally affect people of color. All of which is to say nothing about the fact that the fascist police state being unleashed on migrants, is also being simultaneously repurposed to target anyone, including white American citizens, who opposes the Gestapo, or Trump's fascist agenda at all.

I'm not gonna lie to you folks, the situation is grim; but whatever we're going to do about all of this must be done with eyes wide open. It is not hyperbole to call an obvious ethnic cleansing operation, ethnic cleansing and indeed a genocide in progress. Thanks to the long history of fascism we already know how this story ends, and waiting around for Trump to start digging mass graves is a very good way to end up with mass graves.
