At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Was AI used for the targeting that likely resulted in the bombing of the girls school?

We must have answers to that question and there is ZERO reason for delay because the Pentagon damn well already knows the answer.

Hegseth: Kristi Noem did an excellent job

Kristi Noem’s firing couldn’t happen fast enough. But unless the policy of terrorizing our immigrant communities changes, I’m not voting to give them a penny.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

πŸ“ŒThree days later, there has still been absolutely no explanation for how not one ... not two ... but THREE U.S. three fighter jets were knocked out of the sky in an alleged 'friendly fire' incident over Kuwait.

This is absurd. At best it points to incompetence. At worst, our pilots are in danger.

1/8 Trump calls himself the "Peace President." But this week he started a war in Iran, spiked your gas prices, and then quietly signed an order that could cost American taxpayers BILLIONS to cover the wreckage. And most people have no idea it happened. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

BREAKING: Democratic Veterans swore an oath to defend our nation, both when they signed up to serve and when they were sworn into office. Now, they’re delivering on that Oath. The Constitution demands that Congress declares war, and that’s what we’re fighting for today.

Warning on this, it is shocking...very shocking. A United States Senator seriously injuring a member of the public.

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday.

Damas came to the U.S. from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custodyβ€”the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Centerβ€”he died from complications from a tooth infection.

A tooth infection.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Today was an important day for the opposition movement. The law firms that stood up against Donald Trump threats won.

Those that capitulated and collaborated with Trump will need to explain to their families, clients and future generations why when democracy was at stake they were such cowards.

US moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions, critics say Ex-official calls transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape, a human rights violation

β€œIt’s a choice to ensure zero abortions."
Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape.
