Florida Legislature refuses to give hearings to bill banning immigration agents from wearing masks hiding their identities.
Nancy Youssef, ..guil @ X.com @nancyayoussef The preliminary Pentagon cost estimate of the war in Iran is $1 billion a day, a congressional official told me. 12:20 PM • 3/4/26 • 44K Views
Preliminary Pentagon cost estimate of the war in Iran is $1 BILLION a day. So far.
Bill allowing Florida officials controlled by the governor to place organizations in a domestic terrorism list on the basis of views and opinions has passed the Florida Senate after amendments were adopted. Now it goes back to the Florida House
A federal judge wrote in a preliminary injunction that the First Amendment bars Gov. Ron DeSantis from continuing the troubling trend of using an executive office to make a political statement at the expense of others’ constitutional rights.
Cost projections of more than $645 million in two years for a port-a-potty company at the Alligator Alcatraz and Deportation Depot detention centers.
Legislation allowing the Florida Governor to place organizations in a domestic terrorism list without any prior criminal conviction of the group, its leaders, or its members, was just approved in the Florida House. It still has to be voted in the Florida Senate.
HB945 creates a “counterintelligence and counterterrorism” unit within Florida department of law enforcement that could spy on groups or individuals whose “actions, views, or opinions” are deemed “a threat or are inimical to the interests of this state”.
Florida officials burned more than $1.2 million taxpayer dollars per day on Alligator Alcatraz.
While operations are coordinated at a members-only, private beach club — in between fundraisers and parties.
The level of disconnect from the political class on the U.S. cheerleading for this illegal war, and the vast majority of the public that does not want it, is disturbing.
Deeply evil.
A migrant in San Francisco is detained by ICE and can’t be physically present at an eviction hearing, meaning he could automatically lose the case.
Legislation allowing the Florida Governor to label organizations as domestic terrorists without any prior criminal conviction of the group, its leaders, or members continues to advance. Bills are HB 1472 and SB 1632. Call the office of House Speaker Danny Perez at 8507175000 to express opposition.
Protesters plan to demonstrate against Palantir on Tuesday, March 3, at the company’s new headquarters in Miami:
9 year old, with a valid tourist visa and hoping to visit Disney, was detained at Miami International Airport and held at the Dilley immigration detention center for four months.
ICE is reportedly planning to lease new office space in downtown Miami.
Yes!
New from me: Miami voters elected a new mayor and reshaped the commission in large part as a rejection of the city’s signing of a 287g, police-ICE collaboration agreement. It’s now time for the city to exit that agreement.
Draft of a proclamation affirming cooperation with immigration enforcement and ICE by the Sarasota Public School Board. It apparently will be voted on next week. Call the school board members there and tell them to vote no on this insanity.
Miami Beach resident posted online about the mayor. Police showed up at her door www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...
As the Miami Police Department investigates claims that four officers received Rolex watches from former Mayor Francis Suarez, records reveal that two of the officers were quietly demoted last month.
Research shows inhuman conditions at Alligator Alcatraz: overflowing toilets with fecal matter seeping into where people sleep, limited access to showers, exposure to insects, lights on 24 hours, poor quality food and water, and lack of privacy, including cameras above toilets.
Amnesty International found in a new report that the use of harsh punishments at Alligator Alcatraz, like locking people outdoors in a two-by-two foot cage-like structure while their hands and feet are shackled to the ground, constitutes torture.
Bill has been filed to stop misuse of emergency decrees by the Governor of Florida. DeSantis has used an emergency decree he arbitrarily signed on January 2023 to disburse at least $350 million in no-bid contracts to vendors at Alligator Alcatraz. He renewed it twenty times now.
New from me: Florida bill seeks to stop ICE agents from operating while masked and without identification.
Per Reagan appointed Judge William G. Young: “ICE goes masked for a single reason, to terrorize Americans into quiescence… we have never tolerated an armed secret police.”
From Reagan-appointed U.S. District Judge William G. Young on ICE wearing masks:
"ICE goes masked for a single reason, to terrorize Americans into quiescence… In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police."
Props to lawmakers Angie Nixon and Carlos Guillermo Smith for taking up our idea for a bill doing the most basic thing: requiring that immigration agents show their faces and identify themselves. Will the Florida Legislature agree that an armed secret police should not be tolerated?
Farmworker asking for prayers as immigration stops their bus and systematically starts detaining them on their way to work. Happened this morning near the town of Ave Maria, Florida.
The officers involved in this detention say they feel like a “newborn giraffe with wobbly legs” when conducting immigration enforcement because their training consists of a “one hour class online”. You can’t make this up.
Here you have a Florida Fish & Wildlife officer detaining an individual who was fishing and admitting they have been directed to “check with immigration on anyone who gives us a passport and doesn’t appear to be a citizen”, which sounds a lot like racial profiling.
