🚨 New report reveals a sharp rise in solitary confinement in ICE detention during Trump's early 2nd term, with over 10,000 placed in isolation up to May 2025.

ICE is using remittance records to track and arrest immigrants, expanding surveillance beyond its original anti-money laundering use. This raises deep concerns about privacy and due process for immigrant communities sending money home. 💸🕵️♂️ #ImmigrationJustice #PrivacyMatters #ICE #Surveillance https://theintercept.com/2025/08/21/ice-immigrants-wire-transfers-remittances-surveillance/

Support asylum for Garcia! Married to a U.S. citizen, with kids to care for, including one with a disability.
If Melania could be granted asylum, Garcia deserves a fair shot as well, but unfortunately, skin color plays a major role with this regime.

Beyond Papers: The Human Cost of Immigration Policy
“They knew what they were doing” – five words that cloak inhumanity in the disguise of justice. Every time I hear this phrase used to dismiss the suffering of immigrants caught in our broken system, something inside me recoils. Not just because it’s callous, but because it’s incomplete.
Today’s episode cuts through the rhetoric to expose one of the most persistent and harmful myths about immigration. Drawing from my personal journey through the labyrinthine process of “legal” immigration as a child separated from my parents, I invite listeners into the chaotic reality of endless paperwork, bureaucratic obstacles, and impossible choices that define our immigration system. This isn’t about politics – it’s about policies that fail human beings.
I share the harrowing story of Mark Daniel Lyttle, a US citizen with bipolar disorder who was wrongfully deported to Mexico simply because of how he looked. For 125 days, he wandered homeless through Latin America until someone finally helped him return home. His story isn’t an anomaly – it’s a devastating glimpse into what happens when enforcement trumps humanity, when paperwork matters more than people.
The truth? Being undocumented is not a crime – it’s a civil violation, like a parking ticket. Over 70% of people in ICE custody have no criminal record whatsoever. Yet our rhetoric criminalizes their very existence, giving permission to stop seeing immigrants as fellow human beings worthy of dignity and basic rights. This dehumanization doesn’t just hurt the undocumented – it threatens all of us. Because once a system gets comfortable deciding who deserves rights and who doesn’t, that list only expands.
Join me in asking better questions: Why did we build a system where someone’s worth depends on a document? Why are we okay with punishing people for seeking safety and opportunity? And what might happen if we remembered that before anyone is documented or undocumented, they are human – just like us?

Former staffer for Sen. Alex Padilla detained by #ICE—for packing an #Obama-#Biden shirt. Rick Taylor, a longtime CA political strategist, was pulled from the TSA line & held without explanation. “Next time, I’ll think twice about what I pack.” Ironically, his wife—born in Vietnam—had feared being flagged. Taylor compared it to Padilla’s own arrest during a DHS press event.

Disassociation is Complicity: Breaking the Cycle of Ignorance
The smoke is already in your lungs, even if your house isn’t on fire yet. This powerful metaphor frames our deep dive into disassociation—that subtle, pervasive mindset that whispers “if it’s not happening to me, I don’t care.” While our brains naturally create psychological distance from suffering as a protective mechanism, this episode challenges us to recognize how this distancing doesn’t actually make us safer—it makes us complicit.
Through personal storytelling and psychological insights, we explore how this mindset manifests particularly strongly around immigration issues. When we say things like “they knew what they were doing” or “we came here the right way,” we’re performing a type of patriotism rooted more in trauma than truth. Drawing from my own experience of being separated from my parents for years due to immigration bureaucracy, I share what it feels like to be on the receiving end of society’s disassociation—the child who becomes no one’s problem, caught in paperwork limbo for nearly a decade.
This episode isn’t about guilt—it’s about connection. Like California wildfires that spread from house to house, ignoring others’ suffering doesn’t keep us safe when systems of harm eventually reach our own doorstep. We examine how protests function to bridge artificial gaps between us, disrupting the illusion of separation and reminding us of our shared humanity. When we catch ourselves thinking “that’s not my business,” I invite you to pause and question what fears drive that response. It’s time to exercise our empathy muscle rather than letting it atrophy, to close the psychological gap before it becomes a moral one. Because ultimately, silence isn’t safety, and distance isn’t immunity—they’re just comfortable illusions that keep us from building the world we all deserve.

Huge props to Judge McConnell for halting Trump’s attempt to hold infrastructure funds hostage to force states into immigration crackdowns. That’s not policy—it’s blackmail. The courts got this right. #RuleOfLaw #NoToBlackmail #StopTrump #ImmigrationJustice
