- U.S. citizens were held against their will.
- ICE placed at least 600 immigrant kids in federal shelters.
- Student activists became a target.

That’s not all. Our year in review: propublica.org/article/trump-m…

A Year in Trump’s Mass Deportation Campaign

Skyrocketing detentions, violent arrests, troops in cities. President Donald Trump promised an immigration crackdown that would make history. One year in, we look at how it’s changed the lives of immigrants and citizens across the U.S.

It tells them that even if they effectively execute a #US #citizen who presents no threat on camera on a public street, they will face no consequences—a recipe for future tragedies. The state’s interest in finding a way to at least create some deterrence to deadly federal lawlessness is not just a matter of #justice: It is also a way of keeping its people safe moving forward.

Sen. #TammyDuckworth (D-IL)∶ If it's true that we are not at #war with #Venezuela, will you advise the president to rescind his invocation of the wartime #AlienEnemiesAct?

#MarcoRubio∶ That was a mechanism to remove people from our country that present great danger

Duckworth∶ It's a wartime act. Are we currently at war?

Rubio∶ No.

Here’s Spain, taking a very different approach to immigration than most other countries.

Spain to Offer Legal Status to 500,000 Undocumented Migrants

The socialist government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is an outlier on migration policy. While other countries have moved to tighten entry requirements and expel undocumented migrants, Sánchez has welcomed them, a stance also aimed at countering the aging of one of the world’s longest-lived populations.

“I’ll say it clearly. No one is expendable in Spain. On the contrary, we lack people,” Sánchez said earlier this month. “Faced with the choice between being a closed and poor nation, Spain is opening itself to the world to ensure prosperity.”

Liam & his dad were taken across the country to the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas — an #ICE #detention facility [#ConcentrationCamp] for families.

The father has filed a lawsuit against #DHS Secretary #KristiNoem, #USAttorney General #PamBondi & other #federal officials.

#DHS claimed Liam’s father is an “illegal alien” from Ecuador & said agents took the boy with them after the father said he wanted Liam to stay with him.

But an attorney for Liam’s family said Conejo committed no crimes & followed “all the established protocols” for legally seeking #asylum in the #US, including “showing up for their court hearings.”

A federal judge has blocked the possible #deportation of a 5-year-old & his father for now

A #Minnesota preschooler detained in #Texas with his father cannot be imminently deported, a federal judge ruled Monday.

Liam Conejo Ramos, 5, was taken away from his family’s suburban #Minneapolis driveway last week after federal agents apprehended his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias.

Minnesota also went to court to preserve evidence from the Saturday shooting of #AlexPretti after its own investigators were blocked from the scene by federal authorities.

Hundreds of children protested at the Texas facility holding 5-year-old Liam Ramos, chanting “Libertad,” or "Freedom," in a show of solidarity with Ramos.

The facility is run by CoreCivic, a private prison company. Eric Lee, an attorney for some of the families and children, said the protest was in response to the harsh day-to-day conditions at the facility, which he describe as “a horrible, horrible place,” with putrid drinking water and meals that contain bugs, dirt, and debris, with guards as cruel as those at adult prisons.

#Trump lashes out at #ballroom lawsuit as top officials defend #Minneapolis #shooting

A phalanx of top Trump admin officials assembled across Sunday morning news shows to defend the #shooting of #AlexPretti, a US citizen in #Minneapolis by a federal #immigration agent. Trump’s attention, it appears, was elsewhere.

Trump launched a 448-word missive on social media lambasting a lawsuit launched at his sprawling ballroom addition.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his severely disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

I wrote about Wael and how our caregivers are an extension of us.

Without them we can’t do basic activities of daily living.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

He didn’t even get to say goodbye to his father.

ICE caused his death & unnecessary suffering.

Now they’re refusing to allow Maher to attend the funeral.

Absolute ghouls.

But the real explanation may be more sinister. Since she was killed, we’ve seen multiple videos in which #immigration officers refer to her death to threaten people lawfully observing or recording them. The real motivation appears to be to make all the other Renee Goods out there, the liberal “wine moms” watching over immigration raids, wonder if they might be next."

Liam’s teacher Ella Sullivan was in visible tears during the announcement that Liam had been taken away. “He’s a bright young student, & he’s so kind & loving, & his classmates miss him, & all I want is for him to be safe & back here,” Sullivan said.

According to Columbia Heights district officials, 3 other students, all under the age of 18 have been detained by federal agents in recent weeks.

Marc Prokosch, a lawyer representing Ramos’ family, said he is still not sure of the exact current whereabouts of Liam & his dad. He believes, based on the experience of other clients he has worked with, that they are currently in #Texas in a family holding cell.

“Every step of their #immigration process has been doing what they’ve been asked to do, & so this is just…cruelty,” Prokosch said….

Agents took both the father & #child away in a vehicle & sent them to #Texas.
Stenvik said Liam’s family has an “active #asylum case” with NO deportation orders.
“I have viewed the legal paperwork with my own eyes,” Stenvik said, adding leaders from Liam’s school visited his home Tues after he was detained to provide support to his family, including a middle school student who returned home to find his father & brother had been taken.

“Another adult living in the home was outside & begged the agents to let him take care of the small #child, & was refused,” Stenvik said.

“Instead,” she said, “the agent took the child out of the still-running car, led him to the door & directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home, essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.”

“Why detain a 5-year-old? You can’t tell me that this #child is going to be classified as a violent criminal,” Zena Stenvik, the Columbia Heights superintendent, told reporters Wednesday.

According to Stenvik, masked agents apprehended 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos in his driveway on Tuesday as he returned home from school with his father.

The Columbia Heights Public School district says federal agents have detained 4 of its students in 4 separate incidents over the last 2 weeks. One #child is #LiamRamos, a 5-year old boy who attends a district elementary school & was used as “bait” to draw family members out of their home.

Renee Nicole Good’s family have released preliminary autopsy details.

It’s bad.

She was shot three times and the first two shots were non lethal.

One to her forearm and one to her right breast which missed all major organs.

She could have survived that.

Jonathan Ross was well outside the path of the vehicle at that point and leaned into the driver’s side window to deliver the third shot.

It went through her left temple and exited the right side of her head.

It was murder. Plain and simple.

Every ICE agent who failed to render aid should be charged as an accessory, and Ross should be arrested immediately.

The government must stop covering for killers.
