Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

A drawing from a 19th century German newspaper showing a group of civilian revolutionaries behind a barricade taking fire from a group of Prussian soldiers on the street, as other revolutionaries fire on the soldiers from the windows of nearby buildings. Text reads: Kampf zwischen Bürger u. Soldaten in der Straße Frankfürter Linden in Berlin, am 18 ten und 19 ten März 1848.

oh really? that’s cool, but in -my- culture we throw out plastic grocery bags immediately after their first use. just right out the window as soon as the groceries are put away, let the wind take it where it may.

CPITAL do you stand in tarn as embers fall? do the waters of Artax rise to thy neck? there will be no climbing above this fill thy hand and meet this ugly hour well past the moment are we now when acid words act as a weapon they bloody their own hand to draw these closing circles their hundred mocking fingers make puppets of Durruti’s friends unseat the rotting stars from their firmament unfold the proteins of their toxic ideation you can be taken down at any moment by a rock thrown from a map reach for the door, blade in thy teeth, eyes under tape, names in the can, shrink into a cell, kythe into their coils and unmake them

nice to see a small but enthusiastic anti-trump protest in small town north carolina (statesville) with plenty of support from passing cars.

Purdue student detained by ICE and taken to troubled Louisiana holding facility Yeonsoo Go, 20, was detained after her immigration hearing in Manhattan and taken away by ICE agents.

Go, a college student, has a dependent visa (her mother, an Episcopal minister, is here on a religious worker visa), which doesn't expire until Dec. But when she tried to renew it early, ICE nabbed her and sent her halfway across the US to a detention center.
