Department of Homeland Security called the supreme court decision a victory and vowed to continue to “flood the zone” in Los Angeles while accusing LA mayor Karen Bass of “protecting” immigrants. “DHS law enforcement will continue to FLOOD THE ZONE in Los Angeles. This decision is a victory for the safety of Americans in California and for the rule of law. DHS will continue to arrest and remove the criminal illegal aliens that @MayorOfLA is protecting,” read the social media post.

The DHS chief has been widely criticized for slowing down FEMA’s response after natural disasters. Texts and emails obtained by ProPublica point to an effective way to get help faster: have one of Noem’s big donors make the ask.

#DHS has requested more than 20,000 #NationalGuard members to help with the #Trump admin’s #immigration crackdown, according to two US officials with knowledge of the plans.
The request to the #Defense Dept came after Trump asked DHS last week to increase its ranks by pulling in 20,000 officers from state or federal agencies.

The shuttered DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties “was one of the very few tools we had to check ICE, to hold ICE accountable,” immigration lawyer Sophia Genovese said. “Now you see them speeding to complete authoritarianism.”

TWO QUESTIONS ABOUT #ICE

1. where is the evidence these kidnappers took an oath to protect the constitution as federal employees?
2. if they are not #DHS employees, who do they work for? if they are “contractors”, are they #military #contractors, aka #mercenaries?
if the #kidnappers working for #ICE are mercenaries, THEY ARE AN INVADING ARMY.
USA citizens and localities have a CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RIGHT to shoot to kill invading armies
With admittedly no knowledge of who the men are, I’m rooting for the escapees.
4 men escaped from #DelaneyHall, a privately run #immigration #detention center in #Newark, during a disturbance Thurs after days of #unrest over conditions, acc/to #NewJersey law enforcement, a federal spox & other detainees’ attys.
“Additional law enforcement partners have been brought in to find these escapees,” Tricia McLaughlin, #DHS spox, said Fri in a text.

There's just one problem: the letter was fake.

Yet Reyes is still facing deportation.
