If you want to know what's behind so many Hispanic Americans rejecting Trumpism, watch this. You can't take away the rights of a massive group of citizens without a response. End the racial profiling!
Here's a compilation of clips from dozens of videos I've shared over the last year and a half since Stephen Miller ordered ICE to racially profile people on the streets. I intentionally included the "benign" incidents b/c every one degrades our citizenship. Congress, end it!

New GAO ICE oversight report (11/5/26): "Changes In Inspections of ICE Facilities Raise Questions About Oversight."
Key Findings:
- Between April 2025 and April 2026, ICE added more than 40 detention facilities, and its average daily population of detained noncitizens grew by viduals.
-As of July 2026, two of the four DHS entities that conduct detention facility inspections had reduced the frequency of inspections or eliminated them.
-Beginning in FY25, ICE Office of Detention Oversight (ODO) decreased the frequency of its inspections, began having certain facilities conduct self-inspections, and generally stopped conducting unannounced inspections.
-Meanwhile, the DHS Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman (OIDO) did not receive an appropriation in fiscal year 2026 and stopped conducting inspections entirely in January 2026.
-How ICE uses the results of ODO inspections has also changed. Earlier appropriations provisions prohibited using funds to continue detention contracts after two consecutive ODO inspections rated a facility’s performance as inadequate. In August 2026, ICE officials also told GAO that this would no longer preclude it from receiving further funds.
-ICE did not formally analyze the effect of decreasing the frequency of ODO inspections, implementing facility self-inspections, temporarily increasing OIG inspections, and eliminating OIDO inspections on its ability to identify deficiencies in a timely manner.
GAO conclusion: These changes may pose risks to ICE's ability to ensure humane detention conditions, as its own guidance calls for.

Let this sink in: ICE agents reportedly blocked the emergency entrance of a Los Angeles hospital for TWO HOURS, forcing ambulances carrying people who needed emergency care to go elsewhere.
This isn’t law enforcement. This is a reckless abuse of power that put innocent people’s lance entrance is not a political battleground. A hospital emergency room is not an immigration checkpoint.
And federal agents do not get to hold an entire community’s access to emergency medical care hostage.
Imagine being in an ambulance, fighting for your life, only to be diverted because federal agents decided their operation mattered more than emergency access.
Where is the humanity? Where is the accountability? And where is the line that these agents are no longer allowed to cross?
You cannot claim to be protecting America while putting Americans’ lives in danger.
This isn’t making America great. It’s making America cruel. And anyone defending this should be ashamed.

In Hamilton,Ohio the Sheriff’s Department worked with ICE to snatch a father in front of his two young children. The boy asked for his father’s phone to call his mother & the Sheriff’s Deputy got extremely aggressive with the young boy even accusing him of touching his gun.

An 8-year-old Haitian boy is in federal custody after reporting for a scheduled immigration appointment in San Diego.
He had been living with a relative since his father was deported nearly two years ago. DHS claims that relative lacked legal custody.
This child did not run. He up, and our government answered his compliance with detention.
There is no legal or moral justification for taking a child from the family caring for him. Due process is a constitutional guarantee, not a privilege reserved for adults or citizens.
Return this child to his family.

all the U.S. citizen teens and young 20-somethings who leave their "temporary" ICE detentions with black eyes and broken bones and all other manner of injuries you normally get in a beat down. These are the things I remember. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/n…

ICE detain mother—and her orphaned 4 year old boy.
At fingerprinting appointment for asylum case.
"You just took a kid!" witness yells.
"Where are you putting the kids?"
Lawyer said: "This is the first time I’ve heard of them not even letting a child go."
"His mother wanted a lready present to take care of the boy."
She says they were legally observing—and the child has a right to counsel under an injunction.
Referencing the 2025 Supreme Court case Kristi Noem v. Pedro Vasquez Perdomo.
Incident occurred at USCIS El Monte Application Support Center in City of Industry, California.
