ICE Moves Minneapolis Fleet to Williamsport Detention Warehouse As ICE builds out a detention infrastructure across the mid-Atlantic, equipment from its Minneapolis operation is heading to Maryland.

Roughly 100 ICE vehicles are on their way to a warehouse in Western Maryland, as signs mount of an impending operation here.

The Conference of Catholic Bishops is... not playing around in this brief.

Before Keith Porter, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti… ICE killed a father after he dropped his kids off at school.

We didn’t hear much about it because he was undocumented.

They said he was trying to flee & shot him in the back of the neck.

Silverio Villegas-González.

Don’t forget him.

Reminder: local clergy have been really, really active in pushback to DHS in Minneapolis.

Like, roughly 100 faith leaders getting arrested at once last month while protesting DHS kind of active.

Religion in the U.S.

The archbishop of Santa Fe takes on Speaker Mike Johnson theologically corrupt justification of Trump's secret police tactics against immigrants: " it is deeply concerning when theological language and sacred texts are used to diminish the fundamental dignity of human beings created in the image of

"It is our conviction that a person's willingness to accept the Negro as fully equal to the white both as a citizen and as a Christian is the acid test of his Americanism and his Christianity."

As I have said from the start of the Abrego Garcia case, Trump, Bondi and their cronies love to spew stuff on social media — but they need to put up or shut up in court.

As you can see below, when they are under penalty of perjury, the courts find their claims “fanciful”⬇️

Hegseth Signal messages came from email classified ‘SECRET,’ watchdog told The revelation contradicts the Trump administration’s long-standing claims that no classified information was shared by the defense secretary’s account during the “Signalgate” scandal.

It’s been obvious from the start that Hegseth compromised sensitive information in that Signal chat. Now we know he was sharing CLASSIFIED material — and lied through his teeth about it.

He put American soldiers at risk. He should be fired.

Great exhibit at the Smithsonian African Art Museum on the Nigerian artist Bruce Onobrakpeya and a series of prints he made from the 1960s depicting Christian iconography. Here is the risen Christ appearing before the disciples.

Noah Bullock, Executive Director of Cristosal, an international human rights group based in El Salvador, talks about the abuses endured by CECOT inmates - lights on 24/7, lack of food, hygiene facilities, and medical care. Regular beatings, no access to lawyers or family.

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.
