Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge. Physical intimidation and assaults are explicitly barred. If agents ignore these rules, they won’t be protected they’ll be arrested.

ICE's Secret Watchlists of Americans
Sparta, Reaper and Grapevine track protesters, their friends (+ others)

“We have a nice little database and now you’re considered a domestic terrorist,” a masked federal agent taunted a protester filming him in Maine last week.

Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin’s response was firm: “There is NO database of ‘domestic terrorists’ run by DHS.”

There’s just one problem: She’s lying.

Two senior national security officials tell me that there are more than a dozen secret and obscure watchlists that homeland security and the FBI are using to track protesters (both anti-ICE and pro-Palestinian), “Antifa,” and others who are promiscuously labeled “domestic terrorists.”

I can reveal for the first time that some of the secret lists and applications go by codenames like Bluekey, Grapevine, Hummingbird, Reaper, Sandcastle, Sienna, Slipstream, and Sparta (including the ominous sounding HEL-A and HEL-C reports generated by Sparta). (...)




yep. It's a pretty obvious development. The economics of Trump's ICE "deportation" blitz already show this is not  just about deportation.

From Oliver Kornetzke:

TAKE NOTICE:

This regime insists it is only trying to deport “criminals,” yet it is pouring obscene amounts of money into warehouses, tent cities, and what it carefully labels “detention facilities”—a phrase doing Olympic-level rhetorical work to obscure what these places actually are: concentration camps. If the objective were merely deportation, this spending pattern would make no sense. Deportation is a throughput problem: short stays, rapid processing, minimal infrastructure. You move people quickly or you don’t build at all. You do not pour billions into permanent cages to facilitate removal. You build permanent cages to facilitate retention.

That is the contradiction people need to understand. This has never been about deportation. It is about mass confinement. What is being constructed bears little resemblance to an immigration system and far more resemblance to a carceral architecture designed for long-term use: durable facilities, privatized management, opaque oversight, and legal ambiguity baked into the process itself. This is not an endpoint system. It is an intake system.

What is emerging looks far less like immigration enforcement and far more like an Americanized GULAG model: a geographically dispersed archipelago of for-profit run concentration camps designed to disappear people into bureaucratic limbo. Not just those convicted of crimes, but anyone deemed inconvenient, destabilizing, or politically threatening to the regime. Once the infrastructure exists, the definition of who belongs inside it becomes infinitely flexible.


in fact read the whole damn thing.

trump says that the protestors shouldn't have guns.

The NRA then disagrees with him.

I think the GOP doesn't get it that, in response to the blitzkrieg that was Project 2025, there will be a similar "he never existed and his followers will be punished, too" plan that will happen the moment the proper power switch happens.
