"The WRAP is the subject of a growing number of federal lawsuits likening incorrect usage of the device to punishment and even torture, whether used in a jail or by immigration authorities during international flights. Among advocates’ concerns is that ICE is not tracking the WRAP’s use as required by federal law when officers use force."

In 1850, the #FederalGovernment deputized local officials to enforce #slavery. In 2025, it demands cooperation in #deportation. Chicago resisted nearly two centuries ago, & it still is today.

Trump promised free plane tickets and $1,000 “exit bonuses” to immigrants who opted to self-deport.
ProPublica spoke to a dozen Venezuelan immigrants who said they followed the president’s instructions, yet never received the promised assistance.

BWAHAHAHA!
VP #GuyLiner was on ABC's #ThisWeek this morning. Steph-O asked him REPEATEDLY if #Deportation Czar #Hobag "returned the $50K he took [from FBI agents in 2024.]"
Vance repeatedly answered Homan has "committed no crime" but REFUSED to say if he returned the money (even suggesting he was "paid for services", and denyed he even took the money at all.)
The interview ended with Steph-O telling Vance that "I repeatedly asked you and you refused to answer", then cut him off.

Venezuelan immigrants signed up for a Trump-promoted app called CBP Home, which promised a safe and easy way to leave the country, and prepared to leave on their given departure dates.
Those dates have come and gone.
They’re still stuck here.

"A month into the new Trump administration, on the predawn streets of suburban Maryland, a high-ranking ICE official stood alongside a Mazda sedan that his officers had just stopped.
The official told a local TV reporter at the scene what was about to happen. “He can either give us a license,” he said, “or we’ll smash the fucking window out and drag him out.” Then, as the driver refused to exit the car, officers broke the glass.
It was one of nearly 50 documented instances of immigration agents breaking vehicle windows that ProPublica has identified from social media, local news accounts, lawsuits and interviews since President Donald Trump took office six months ago. Using the same methods, we found just eight in the previous decade. Neither number is comprehensive. The government releases no relevant statistics.
Use-of-force experts and former Immigration and Customs Enforcement insiders say the tactic was rarely used during previous administrations. They say there is no known policy change greenlighting agents’ smashing of windows. Rather, it’s a part of a broader shattering of norms.
There are arrest quotas, and they are increasingly aggressive. “There’s been an emphasis placed on speed and numbers that did not exist before,” says Deborah Fleischaker, who served as ICE chief of staff under President Joe Biden.
Officers who break glass aren’t being disciplined — they’re being promoted. The official from Maryland, Matthew Elliston, now occupies a senior position at headquarters and oversees field operations on the East Coast. On the other side of the country, a Border Patrol chief who also embraced the tactic, Gregory Bovino, was put in charge of sweeps in Los Angeles. (Neither answered ProPublica’s questions.)
ICE says its officers use a “minimum amount of force” when making arrests. You can judge for yourself."

The #shutdown is the first since Jan 2019, & the 4th of #Trump’s 2 terms. Admin ofcls this time, though, have signaled plans to use the closed agencies as a way to vastly reshape the #FederalGovernment & consolidate #power under the presidency.
#OMB dir #RussVought ordered agencies to consider #MassFirings rather than #furloughs. His instructions to agencies include guidance on rewriting #regulations surrounding federal #grants & challenging #Congress’s constitutional #power over spending.
#law
~750k #FederalWorkers are expected to be furloughed, & some fired by the #Trump admin. Many offices will be shuttered, perhaps permanently, as Trump vows to “do things that are irreversible, that are bad” as #retribution. His #deportation agenda is expected to run full speed ahead, while #education, #environmental & other #services sputter. The economic fallout is expected to ripple nationwide.
