wtf up with ICE
« on: August 04, 2026, 01:02:01 PM »
A 68-year-old nurse who brought her mobile clinic to serve visitors at an ICE detention center, only to be thrown to the ground by ICE agents. A pair of cemetery workers who were maced and handcuffed at work after ICE agents broke through a gate to reach them. A family of six wrongly detained for a month....

...32 are US citizens, 22 are immigrants. And they’re all seeking monetary damages for harm sustained during Donald Trump’s ICE surge.

I guess the cemetery workers preferred to let the men drown.

On October 7, ICE encountered two illegal aliens who attempted to flee arrest by crossing the Des Plaines River. The river was fast flowing, and the illegal aliens were up to their necks with water and at risk of drowning. Four U.S. citizens tried to impede officers’ efforts to rescue the illegal aliens by blocking them from the embankment. Officers were able to rescue the illegal aliens throwing them a rope and getting them safely to shore.

Despite the agitation and lack of help from local government, ICE successfully arrested both illegal aliens, including Martin Martinez Guereca, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, previously convicted of assault in 2004, and Jaime Arturo Martinez Rojas, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico with previous arrests for drug possession and driving under the influence. The four U.S. citizens who obstructed law enforcement from the rescue operation were arrested.”

It is currently unknown whether the cemetery workers involved will face charges in connection with the incident on Tuesday.

Hmmmm. Unfortunately, at this point, odds are 90% (I am being generous) of this is lies or plain fantasy. Odds are the Trumper Idiots Running the DOJ will drop any and all charges that are brought.

BREAKING🚨 The government deported a Texas mom who had valid DACA protection through April 2027 — then sent her a notice canceling that protection for "unauthorized travel outside of the United States on or about March 25, 2026." That is the exact day it deported her.

Jessica Treviño Villegas, 34, filed suit Wednesday in federal court in Brownsville asking a judge to declare her removal unlawful and order the government to bring her back. She was brought from Mexico at age 7, grew up in Alamo, Texas, got DACA at 20, and has renewed it for 14 years. A valid DACA status bars Homeland Security from deporting her, according to the Associated Press.

She and her husband were arrested in late December after ICE agents followed them and two of their daughters into a Home Depot parking lot in South Texas. She was held, ordered to voluntary departure by an immigration judge in February, and put over the border on March 25. Her three children, all U.S. citizens, are living with family on the American side. They start school next month.

"I would be so blessed to be able to go back home, because that's what I long for most right now. I'm really desperate. It's been seven months since I've been home," she said Thursday.

DHS claims she "knowingly accepted voluntary departure and waived appeal," and said in a statement: "She left the U.S. on March 25, 2026, and will NOT return." Treviño Villegas says she signed no forms at the ICE detention facility and did not want to be deported. The agency has offered no documentation of a waiver.

"I have renewed my DACA, followed every rule, and never stopped believing this country would do right by me and my family," she said in a statement. "Instead, I was taken from my children."

Her lawsuit names Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and ICE acting director Todd Lyons.

This administration has deported 86 DACA recipients and arrested 261 more, according to a DHS letter sent to Sen. Dick Durbin in February.

FOREST PARK, Ill. (WGN) — A pair of U.S. citizens say they were unlawfully maced and arrested Tuesday afternoon in a Chicago suburb after attempting to help a struggling man on the Des Plaines River.

Witnesses say United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were trying to persuade the unidentified man in the river to surrender, but not before the agents clashed with a group of concerned Concordia Cemetery workers.

“We thought he was in harm’s way because he was in the river and we’re trying to see what’s going on,” said cemetery worker Daniel Greer.

MotherJones didn't mention the "struggling man" part.
MotherJones didn't include Daniel Greer's "we thought he was in harm's way" comment.
MotherJones didn't mention that the DHS says the 2 men are illegal aliens with criminal histories.
Was this a resulting lawful arrest of an illegal alien 'struggling' in the river and 'in harm's way' ? MotherJones doesn't mention this.

Charges probably won't be brought because it's not worth the time and resources to file charges when interfering with federal law enforcement is viewed as a 'peaceful protest' by too many.

Texas was ordered to remove razor wire at the Rio Grande River because it might interfere with the rescue of struggling individuals who are attempting to enter the country illegally and in harm's way.

But it's apparently ok to interfere with aiding struggling individuals in harm's way in the Des Plaines River.

How is someone "ordered" to "voluntary" departure ?

It appears they are told their DACA protections was revoked and they had to leave by a certain date or face consequences.

In this case, the mom was apparently taken from her family, held for several months, and forcibly placed across the border.

They claim she left on her own and is not eligible for re-entry.

It appears her DACA was revoked because she was no longer in the country. Not that it was revoked prior to her leaving the country.

Why was she detained and allegedly accept voluntary deportation ?
Would it have anything to do with being in a car when her undocumented husband allegedly rammed an ICE vehicle head-on ?
Practice is to ask the parent if they want to be deported with the children or if they wish to transfer custody to a designated person. 

Did somebody pick her up off the ground, carry her across the border and drop her on the ground like a sack of potatoes ?
Is that what you mean by "forcibly placed across the border" ?

BREAKING🚨 A Florida woman here legally for 16 years is now HIDING in her home, because Trump CANCELED her paperwork and ICE is now hunting the people whose status he erased.

On Monday, Temporary Protected Status ended for 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians, after the Supreme Court cleared the way in June. Haitians had held that protection since the 2010 earthquake, because their country was judged too dangerous to return to.

Farah Larrieux finished her last overnight hotel shift at 6 a.m. that Monday and pulled her trash bins to the curb outside her home in South Florida. She is 47, has spent 16 years here, and runs her own communications business. Both jobs are paused now. She has stocked her cupboards so she doesn't have to leave the house, taped a sheet of white paper over the glass panel in her front door in case ICE agents come, and memorized her attorney's phone number in case she is detained. She has publicly criticized Haiti's government.

"If I don't get mistreated by ICE at the detention center, I may be killed in Haiti," Larrieux said. "My blood will be on Trump's hands."

Homeland Security says "conditions in Haiti have improved sufficiently to support the return of Haitian nationals." The State Department tells Americans not to travel to Haiti at all. The country has been under a national state of emergency since March 2024, armed gangs control much of it, and violence has displaced more than a million people.

Roughly 50,000 children born in the U.S. have a Haitian parent who held TPS. Josiane Valsaint has lived and worked legally in San Diego since 2010 and has a 10-year-old and a 12-year-old born there. "Who's going to take care of my kiddos?" she asked. Taking them to Haiti, she said, is not an option.

A bill extending protections for Haitians passed the House in April with some Republican votes. Senate Republicans blocked it last week. Haiti's top migration official expects about a thousand deportees a month.

Jessica Treviño Villegas is a 34-year-old DACA recipient from Alamo, Texas, whose high-profile deportation to Mexico in March 2026 sparked national controversy and a federal lawsuit.

Key Facts and Timeline

Background: She moved to the United States from Mexico at the age of seven. Prior to her deportation, she lived in South Texas, worked in an elementary school cafeteria, and regularly renewed her DACA status.

Active Status: Her Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) protections were legally valid until April 2027.

The Arrest: In late December 2025, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents intercepted her family in a Home Depot parking lot. Agents allegedly rammed their vehicle, struck her husband with a baton, and detained both parents. Her husband is an undocumented immigrant without legal status.

Detention and Deportation: She was held for three months at the El Valle Detention Center in Raymondville, Texas. On March 25, 2026, she was physically removed and sent to Matamoros, Mexico.

Family Separation: Her forced removal separated her from her three children (ages 16, 14, and 13), who are all U.S. citizens and remain on the U.S. side of the border.

Ongoing Legal Disputes

Voluntary Departure Conflict: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) publicly claims she knowingly accepted a voluntary departure order and waived her right to appeal. Treviño Villegas and her defense team strongly deny this, stating she explicitly refused to sign any departure forms and was forcibly expelled.

"Unauthorized Travel" Accusation: Following her removal, the government issued a Notice of Intent to Terminate her DACA status. The administration cited "unauthorized travel" outside of the U.S. on March 25, 2026—the exact day ICE agents forced her across the border.

Federal Lawsuit: In late July 2026, her attorneys filed a federal mandamus petition in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. The lawsuit demands that the court declare her expulsion unlawful and order the federal government to return her to the United States.

If she is hiding in her home, won't that make her easy for The ICE to find her?
