@TomSullivan The local LA TV news shows have always been a bit right-of-center as far as the Los Angeles Overton Window is concerned, but that's definitely not the case with this ICE raid bullshit.

KCAL/KCBS, KTLA, even FOX11 coming down hard against DHS cruelty and aggression. It's heartening to see.

"The number of people in immigration detention reached a new high of more than 60,000 on Monday, breaking a modern record set during the first Trump administration, according to internal records from Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

The victim in that incident was Edward Coristine, a protégé of #ElonMusk & fmr #DOGE staffer known by the nickname “Big Balls.” Coristine had become well known among top WH ofcls, including Dpty Chief of Staff #StephenMiller, & his attack quickly resonated throughout the West Wing [as a ready made excuse to implement #DC takeover plans]. A frustrated #Trump posted a bloodied picture of Coristine to social media…& [threatening the takeover of DC] if it didn’t “get its act together, & quickly.”

Jennifer Rubin: #DHS is a Menace. A human rights abomination unfolds

"The only thing DHS is safeguarding these days is the massive egos of Stephen Miller and Donald #tRump and the noxious brand of White nationalism that justifies the reign of brutality and terror utterly at odds with American values."

The Contrarian · DHS is a MenaceBy Jennifer Rubin

I believe we need to know about the lies, fearmongering, gaslighting, disinformation, & propaganda that the WH official acct
disseminates on social media.

Today’s X acct, is esp disturbing,🚨Border Czar Homan is the face of the sun rising over the US-MX border wall.💔It’s so hateful, dystopian, & xenophobic, I thought it was from the Onion.

"Half of America fetishizes and perseverates in its discontent over these sleights. How dare they make a movie where the fictional mermaid is a black girl! ...

This avalanche of trauma was piled onto him because the luckiest people in the history of the world were convinced that the immigrant down the street might eat their cat."

Miller writes,

"It’s hard not to contrast Andry’s mercy and forbearance with the small, sad grievances that dominate America’s political life today. Our current regime is powered by anger at a hundred perceived sleights: too many brown people at Harvard; a book with gay penguins; a swimmer who didn’t get the 4th place trophy she felt she deserved; having less than the Joneses."

Tim Miller offers a video clip of a conversation he had with Andry Hernández Romero, the gay Venezuelan makeup artist consigned by the Trump administration to torture and sexual abuse at CECOT.

Miller notes the grace and forbearance Andry is able to show even his tormentors, contrasting that with the outlook and behavior of Americans for whom Trump is a savior.

"A new report from Senator Jon Ossoff’s office reveals 510 credible cases of human rights abuses at U.S. immigration detention centers since January 2025, including deaths in custody, physical and sexual abuse, mistreatment of pregnant women and children, lack of medical care, and overcrowding—amid claims that the Department of Homeland Security is obstructing congressional oversight."

"We found a dozen or so had criminal records abroad and included those in our comprehensive database, too.

Nearly half, 118 of the more than 230 men, including [Juan José Ramos] Ramos, came to the U.S. legally and were deported in the middle of their immigration cases."

A video linked below is included in Pro Publica's report.

Pro Publica reports on the men the US government sent to CECOT hell:

"Our reporting, a first-of-its-kind, case-by-case examination, shows how the government knew a majority of them had not been convicted of a crime in the U.S. — and only a few had serious convictions such as assault and gun possession."

"So too did members of Congress in both parties. News organizations reported on conditions at the prison within days. We all knew what would happen to these men. ...

What do we owe him, and the 250 others who were thrown into that hellhole? The question is not just should he be apologized to and compensated for being a victim of this national shame, but how, and by whom?"

The report adds,

"The Post has found that many of the detainees had entered the United States legally and were actively complying with U.S. immigration rules."

The Bulwark · What Do We Owe Andry?By Adrian Carrasquillo
Continued thread

A Washington Post team interviews 16 Venezuelans the US sent to El Salvador's CECOT hell-hole, including gay makeup artist Andry Hernández. What the reporters hear about these men's CECOT experience is grim: daily beatings, broken teeth, dislocated arms, sexual assault.

"One detainee was beaten unconscious."
