After over two months of no data, ICE's new detention numbers show a record 65,135 people in detention, biggest growth among immigrants with no criminal histories. GPS ankle monitors also grow to 35k.
The jump from 46k in September to over 65k detainees in November is striking, especialy when most of the growth is people without criminal records. The shift toward GPS ankle monitors over SmartLINK feels like a step backwards in terms of how punitive the system is becoming.
A Social Democratic Vision for a Free, Fair, and Honest America
America deserves a government that serves the people—not billionaires, corporations, lobbyists, or criminals. We can no longer pretend that democracy can survive under the weight of unchecked corruption, extreme wealth concentration, and systems deliberately designed to silence the public. The future belongs to a nation that is fair, humane, and honest. This manifesto outlines that path.
I. CLEAN GOVERNMENT AND REAL DEMOCRACY
We demand a democracy that cannot be bought.
Release the Epstein files and expose every abuser of power.
Overturn Citizens United and ban dark money in politics.
Abolish the Electoral College and protect equal representation.
Standardized, nonpartisan redistricting to end gerrymandering permanently.
Paper ballots nationwide—no unverifiable voting machines.
Two-term limits for all elected offices and mandatory retirement at 70.
No federal office for convicted felons.
Relentlessly prosecute political corruption, from the presidency downward.
Impeach, convict, and imprison Donald Trump and every handler who aided his abuses.
Democracy must belong to the people again.
II. A MORAL ECONOMY THAT SERVES EVERYONE
A just nation lifts people up rather than crushing them for profit.
Restore 1950s-era progressive tax rates, including a top bracket above 90%.
Eliminate the Social Security cap and tax capital gains for Social Security.
Establish a $25/hour minimum wage, indexed to inflation automatically.
Forgive all student loans and make university tuition-free for all.
Fund free, universal childcare for every family.
Dramatic pay increases for teachers, social workers, librarians, artists, and museum workers—the people who hold society together.
The economy should serve human beings, not the other way around.
III. UNIVERSAL RIGHTS FOR A DIGNIFIED LIFE
Healthcare, education, and family security are human rights.
Medicare for All—a single, public, universal system with no premiums, no copays, no deductibles, and no private intermediaries.
Replace the fragmented A/B/C/D alphabet soup with one simple, public plan for every American.
Abolish ICE and rebuild immigration systems around dignity, justice, and humanity. Every person deserves freedom from fear, poverty, and exploitation.
IV. A GOVERNMENT OF HONESTY, JUSTICE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
We must rebuild a republic rooted in truth.
Government must be transparent, ethical, and relentlessly focused on the public good.
Corruption must be prosecuted, not tolerated.
Public office is a responsibility—not a path to power, wealth, or immunity.
A new political era begins when we demand nothing less than decency, fairness, and accountability.
THE PROMISE OF A NEW AMERICAN SOCIAL DEMOCRACY
We seek a nation where democracy cannot be bought, where work is valued, where families thrive, where rights are universal, and where justice reaches even the most powerful.
1) Tom Homan and Bovino never said they would not target illegals with no criminal record. They said they would go after violent criminals first and if there were others hanging around, they would roll them up too. In any case arresting illegals without secondary criminal records is 100% lawful.
2) An illegal who has made repeated attempts to enter the U.S. unlawfully is a felon. Not violent, but a felon. Are you including these people in your "peaceful, law-abiding" category?
Still flogging that dead horse? It's funny the projection going on here. So many illegals picked up for screwing and groping 12-year-olds. It's really a pathology with them. If I were you I'd try to change the subject too.
I can't think of a higher compliment than having a pedo-protecting shit goblin like you disapprove of me. Try just 1 response next time, you'll come across as less of a psycho.
I had “conversation” with a writer here on Substack who is an ex BP agent and we agree that CBP has taken the lead in arrests and a larger presence in the trump regime.
All these hard-working immigrants who were paying taxes, stimulating the economy, now gone. If this doesn't have a negative effect on the US economy...
The Trump administration should have been ended months ago!!! He has committed one unconstitutional act after another and if the Republican controlled congress had any commitment to the rule of law it would have happened. The fact that so many of them support this horrible system of Gestapo activities that harm and in many cases kill innocent people speaks volumes about their total lack of humanity or concern for anybody but billionaires! That repulses me! Even more frightening is how many Americans still support Trump and everything he is doing. Our nation is far more bigoted than I ever imagined and Trump's presidency has encouraged them to come out of the shadows and act horribly! Our nation is rapidly becoming Nazi Germany of the 1930"s as Hitler became more and more powerful because no one dared to stand up to him. Every day Trump becomes more and more out of control because he continues to break the law without any repercussions and that emboldens him to commit even more outrageous crimes. It has to end!!!

This is not radical. It is humane. It is moral.
It is the America we were always meant to build.
Great charts
Two things:
1) Tom Homan and Bovino never said they would not target illegals with no criminal record. They said they would go after violent criminals first and if there were others hanging around, they would roll them up too. In any case arresting illegals without secondary criminal records is 100% lawful.
2) An illegal who has made repeated attempts to enter the U.S. unlawfully is a felon. Not violent, but a felon. Are you including these people in your "peaceful, law-abiding" category?
This is what you endorse
