Hoping you will talk about the Shackle program for immigrants having to check it with ICE. From a friend's post: "Yesterday, I took a woman to her ICE check-in. She’s not a criminal. She has no record. None here, none in her home country. She came to the US because she feared for her life every single day where she once lived. She came for safety. She came for peace. She came to live. She’s a mother of three, a grandmother of five (all who live locally), and she works a good, steady job. She contributes to her community and does everything this system demands of her. We arrived at the ICE office at 7:50 a.m. And then we waited. No food. No information. No communication. TV which only played English programming. Hard seats. We watched as dozens of people who arrived after her were seen and released, while she remained. Nervous. Silent. Hopeful. Treated like a number. But the worst part wasn’t the waiting. It was the way people were treated. The ICE staff, behind such darkened windows you could barely see the outline of their bodies, were some of the rudest, most hostile people I’ve ever encountered. They yelled at people constantly. I watched them demean immigrants without hesitation. And if you didn’t speak English? Forget it. I heard one officer loudly say, more than once, “I don’t speak Spanish” with zero effort to find help or show compassion. The message was clear: you’re not welcome here. At 2:30 p.m., after nearly seven hours, it was finally her turn.When she walked out, she had a shackle on her ankle. The “shackle program” is an electronic monitoring system that straps a GPS tracker around your leg. It’s heavy. It’s visible. It’s dehumanizing. And it’s done to people who have committed no crime just like her. Since then, she’s been crying. She told me: “I don’t want to go out with my friends anymore. I don’t want them to see it and think I’m a bad person.” But here’s the truth: 👉She is not a bad person. 👉She is a strong, beautiful, brave woman who has done everything right and been treated like she’s done everything wrong. ‼️This is NOT about safety. It’s about MONEY. These shackle programs are profitable for private contractors. ‼️It’s about FEAR…using control, surveillance, and humiliation to keep immigrants small and silent. ‼️It’s about DEHUMANIZATION…and it needs to stop. So here’s what I will do: 🫶I will not let her lose her JOY. 🫶I will not let her walk through this ALONE. 🫶And I will not be QUIET about what I saw. That shackle is NOT HER shame. It is our NATION’S s

This won't end well for Trump's team. That judge has plausible deniability. It's an effort to intimidate people in general into not trying to help migrants. Only the most far-right GOP members of the House are voicing support for this. Every attempt they make to silence dissent will only cause more backlash.
