30 people have died in ICE custody in 2025, 4 between Dec 12 and Dec 15 alone, the most since 2004, and it's costing TENS OF BILLIONS
Four ICE detainee deaths in four days spark alarm as arrests grow
... The recent deaths bring total detainee deaths to 30 in 2025, the highest number since 2004, when 32 people died in ICE custody. This year’s total includes two detainees who were killed after a shooting at a Dallas ICE facility. At least two others died this year, according to ICE, but not in immigration detention.
Nearly 66,000 people are in detention, according to ICE data, a record high, and the Trump administration is seeking to spend $45 billion to expand immigration detention after receiving an infusion of cash from Congress. ...
Under Trump America is for sale, to the highest bidder: Give me your best, your rich, your preening elites yearning to drink tea . . .
Pretty strange for a "movement" which is supposed to be P O P U L I S T.
... The card is a whopping $1 million for individuals to purchase, and $2 million for corporations, and gives recipients lawful permanent residence status as an EB-1 or EB-1 visa holder. ...

Alleged 2025 MIT and Brown University killer was a Portugese national who obtained permanent resident status under President Donald Trump in 2017
Brown and MIT prof shooter suspect Neves Valente is found dead, authorities say
... Authorities said he is believed to have originally been in the United States on a student visa and obtained lawful permanent resident status in 2017.
Trump immediately tries to cover his ass:
U.S. green card lottery suspended after Brown University shooting
... Noem said that Valente entered the U.S. through the DV1 program in 2017 and was granted a green card.
“In 2017, President Trump fought to end this program, following the devastating NYC truck ramming by an ISIS terrorist, who entered under the DV1 program, and murdered eight people,” she wrote on X.
The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program (DV Program) allocates up to 50,000 immigrant visas every year, according to the USCIS website.
The program is a lottery. Visas are randomly allocated to individuals from countries with low rates of immigration to the U.S.
Bush didn't keep us safe on 911, and Trump didn't keep us safe in 2025. A young, talented College Republican is dead because of him.
If Trump can simply suspend the program in 2025, he could have done it in 2017 when he was president the first time, but he didn't.

White House Press Secretary Komrade Karoline lies about foreign born employment, says foreigners took 100% of the jobs under Biden
Foreign born employment increased 6.5 million under Joe Biden, Jan 2021-Jan 2025.
Native born employment increased 7.5 million.
That's 46.4% for the foreign born, not 100%.
No one asks who hired them.
No one asks why we aren't going after those employers.
No Republican repudiates this obvious lying.

Trump's base is not happy: Strong disapproval of Trump hits new high 46% in Rasmussen Reports Poll, strong approval hits new low 27% for a second day
Trump's total disapproval score remains at a record high 55% for a second day.
His strong approval score is now a record low 27%, lower than his April 9th tariff low of 29%, his only sub-30 score until the last two weeks.
Trump has had a string of eleven sub-30 strong approval scores since November 11th.
Trump kicked off the period on November 11th stating that we needed H-1B workers because we didn't have enough talent in America. The longest federal government shutdown in history ended on Wednesday the 12th. Around the 15th he reversed his tariffs on coffee and other food items which had contributed to their record high prices in the first place. The same day brought the news that he had also stabbed Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia in the back over her criticism of the GOP's refusal to extend the Obamacare premium tax credits. The Epstein files saga came to a head on the 18th requiring their release, but will we ever see them? TikTok was supposed to be sold or shut down by act of Congress, too, and it has not been. On the 19th Trump was kissing the ass of the Saudi killer of Khashoggi, MBS, in the Oval Office. On the 20th Trump's secret 28-point plan with Russia to carve up Ukraine came to light. On the 22nd Democrats went on camera talking darkly about illegal orders being given to the military in the Caribbean. A National Guard soldier was executed on the streets of DC on the 26th by an Afghan refugee let into America by Biden but given residency by Trump. By the 29th we learned that survivors of a Trump drug boat attack in the Caribbean on September 2 were executed in a subsequent strike by the US military, which they obviously hoped no one would ever find out about. They spent the whole time since making up shit about this being a war justifying military engagement when everyone knows it's not a war and killing people for running drugs in the first place is wrong, otherwise the job we give the Coast Guard to do year in and year out has been simply a pointless exercise.
Trump's base is not happy. Pick your reason(s).

This looks like pretty sweet revenge for the Tucker Carlson-Nick Fuentes imbroglio: The Heritage Foundation has a released a report highly critical of Trump's deportation policy
"You tarnish us, we'll tarnish you. And after all we've done for you, too."
... Howell, a former Homeland Security official in the first Trump administration, criticizes the lack of data being shared by DHS to back up its claims that 600,000 deportations will be carried out by the end of the year. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the main agency responsible for these removals, has stopped publishing the monthly data to show this progress. There hasn't been a monthly release since Trump took office. "Without access to the data, it is impossible to ascertain how the DHS is supporting its varying claims of deportation and self-deportation numbers," the report says. ...
More.
Even at 600k per year, the Trump administration will fall short of removing 11 million illegal aliens by 8.6 million by the time it is over.
And they'll waste $85 billion while doing it.
"The American people voted for mass deportations. They're getting mass communications instead," the report's author Mike Howell tells Axios.

Donald Trump is building out the police state on the nation's roads through U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Border Patrol's license plate reader program
Border Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with ‘suspicious’ travel patterns
... Once limited to policing the nation’s boundaries, the Border Patrol has built a surveillance system stretching into the country’s interior that can monitor ordinary Americans’ daily actions and connections for anomalies instead of simply targeting wanted suspects. Started about a decade ago to fight illegal border-related activities and the trafficking of both drugs and people, it has expanded over the past five years. ...
The result is a mass surveillance network with a particularly American focus: cars. ...
The Border Patrol has for years hidden details of its license plate reader program, trying to keep any mention of the program out of court documents and police reports, former officials say, even going so far as to propose dropping charges rather than risk revealing any details about the placement and use of their covert license plate readers. Readers are often disguised along highways in traffic safety equipment like drums and barrels. ...
... it reaches far into the interior, impacting residents of big metropolitan areas and people driving to and from large cities ... beyond the agency’s usual jurisdiction of 100 miles (161 kilometers) from a land or sea border. ...
Border Patrol’s parent agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said they use license plate readers to help identify threats and disrupt criminal networks and are “governed by a stringent, multi-layered policy framework, as well as federal law and constitutional protections, to ensure the technology is applied responsibly and for clearly defined security purposes.” ...
Today, the deserts, forests and mountains of the nation’s land borders are dotted with checkpoints and increasingly, surveillance towers, Predator drones, thermal cameras and license plate readers, both covert and overt.
Border Patrol’s parent agency got authorization to run a domestic license plate reader program in 2017, according to a Department of Homeland Security policy document. At the time, the agency said that it might use hidden license plate readers ”for a set period of time while CBP is conducting an investigation of an area of interest or smuggling route. Once the investigation is complete, or the illicit activity has stopped in that area, the covert cameras are removed,” the document states.
But that’s not how the program has operated in practice, according to interviews, police reports and court documents. License plate readers have become a major — and in some places permanent — fixture of the border region. ...
The Border Patrol also has access to a nationwide network of plate readers run by the Drug Enforcement Administration, documents show, and was authorized in 2020 to access license plate reader systems sold by private companies. ...

Owner-occupied housing is in short supply, in part because of pandemic-related panic-buying by 5.4 million in 2020, not because of a post-pandemic illegal alien surge under Joe Biden
... we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens ... Under the Biden administration, the price of a new home literally doubled in four years. ...
-- The ever-ridiculous J. D. Vance, here
Hysteria is everywhere on this issue.
Owner-occupied housing is hardly higher today than it was at the 2020 peak.
Buyers became hysterical in 2020, seeking isolation. Vance is hysterical in 2025, playing immigration politics. The Fed went hysterical in 2008 slashing interest rates, and it took fourteen years and pandemic-related inflation just to get them to snap out of it.
The Fed's ZIRP after the Great Recession drove down mortgage interest rates to sub-five percent, averaging less than three by 2021.
As everyone knows, when you lower the long term price of a mortgage, you can "buy more house".
That's the major culprit driving prices higher, making housing more expensive, that and the 2-year rule. It took more than a decade of zero interest rate policy to bring us to this pass. It has not been and will not be remedied overnight, especially by its new cheerleaders in the Trump administration.
Cutting interest rates will only make housing more expensive.
New housing is indeed soaring, but people need to get a grip. The median sales price of all housing in the United States is up 30% since 2020, not 50% like it was in the five or six years right after 2008.
A better government tax policy on housing is called for. The biggest problem is that the mere 2-year owner-occupancy requirement for capital gains tax exclusion has turned housing into a commodity since 1997. It was a big mistake to make housing so fungible. The answer lies in applying the brakes to that, so that the emphasis is on housing as a home as opposed to as a speculative investment driving prices for all types of homes irrationally higher.
The old policy allowed the exclusion only once in a lifetime. You sold your house when you retired and enjoyed life living off the proceeds mostly tax-free, usually in a down-sized arrangement or as a renter. Otherwise during your working life, when you had to sell to move, you had to purchase at least sideways, or up in price so that your gains went into the new place, not into your pocket. That's how housing became such a tempting source of pent-up capital in the first place. There was an incentive to maintain a ladder of housing values upon which people could move more freely, mostly up but also down.
We need to go back to some form of that arrangement.
But our leaders seem to have no imagination for it. They can't see that what we did in 1997 was a revolution. A bad revolution.
Sad!

It's very amusing that Kevin Sorbo thinks MAGA voters will refuse to vote Republican in the midterms because Trump said we don't have enough talent in this country
Why people vote is emotional to these people, not rational.
"I'm insulted Trump thinks Americans have no talent so I'm voting for the other guy".
OK whatever.
Trump meanwhile pretended in the interview with Laura Ingraham that he had nothing to do with the round-up and deportation of hundreds of Koreans from the Georgia battery plant, which was basically Obama's MO throughout his presidency when a problem occurred in the country under his watch.
"You didn't build that over there, and I didn't do that other thing over here."
... The Georgia facility, operated by Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution, saw 475 of its workers arrested on allegations that they were in the U.S. illegally, or without the proper work permits, with hundreds of detained South Koreans sent home Thursday.
The raid was part of a broader deportation drive by the Trump administration, which the White House has described as central to fulfilling U.S. President Donald Trump’s election campaign promises. Stephen Miller, the White House’s deputy chief of staff and homeland security adviser, has pushed for 3,000 arrests a day. ...

Mad King Ludwig rages against the machine: When Trump pardoned the J6ers, figuring out who deserved it and who didn't was just too hard for him, and so is figuring out Obamacare
He has no clue what to do about Obamacare, so he proposes murdering it.
It's his solution for everything else, so why not?
Kill the lawfully allocated federal spending, kill the federal workers administering it, kill the agencies they worked for, kill the inspectors general making sure you comply with the federal laws you break with every breath, kill Greenland, kill Canada, kill the Houthis, kill the Iranians, and kill the drug boat operators.
Are Venezuelans next? Nigerians? And how many U.S. citizens swept up in ICE raids will die in custody, like the 20 foreigners who already have?
Bankrupting the insurance companies overnight as he is suggesting is simply the political equivalent of what Luigi Mangione did to the United Healthcare CEO.
These pronunciamentos he keeps uttering are piling up into one great heap of nothing more than a mountain of irritable mental gestures, if you don't count the actual bodies left behind.
Republicans repealed Obamacare 37 times after 2010, but it's still alive.
They still have nothing.
A sane person observes that the options are limited with a five seat majority in the U.S. House and a three seat majority in the U.S. Senate, but sane does not describe Mad King Ludwig. He is intent on shoving down the throats of the American people whatever he can no less than Democrats did with Obamacare fifteen years ago. The Uniparty, folks.
Everything Trump does is done with the subtlety of a brick. If only he restricted himself to building.
But that is impossible for him, because he has desires . . ..

Erick Erickson repeats the myth that Trump cannot turn out the vote unless he is on the ballot
Seen here:
“Lame duck status is going to come even faster now,” Erick Erickson, the popular conservative blogger and radio host, wrote on social media. “Trump cannot turn out the vote unless he is on the ballot, and that is never happening again.”
Turnout for Democrats was YUGE yesterday.
Trump did that:
In Virginia, 59% of the electorate said cuts to the federal government had affected their finances, and two-thirds of those voters backed Spanberger, who is on pace to win by 14 percentage points, the largest victory for a Democrat in a Virginia governor’s race in decades. A full 37% of the electorate said they cast a ballot to oppose Trump, with 99% of them voting for Spanberger.

Cernovich is delusional when he says that the absence of Trump on the ballot yesterday equated to lower voter turnout and GOP losses
Trump being absent from the ballot explains nothing about yesterday. This might come, however, from an ulterior motive in support of a Trump 2028 run. As such it is disinformation for his ignorant followers.
Yesterday's turnout was high, and arguably precisely because of Trump, for doing nothing about inflation and for literally beating people up in the streets everyday in ICE operations.
Who could be so stupid?
Virginia turnout yesterday broke the record.
NYC mayoral turnout yesterday was the highest since 1969.
New Jersey turnout yesterday at 3.2 million plus was higher than in 2021 at 2.6 million. Democrat voters were energized to turnout.
Gee, I wonder why?
Trump won in 2016 with the lowest turnout in two decades, when the GOP also won both House and Senate. Trump underperformed John McCain 2008 in 13 states in 2016. Hillary underperformed Obama 2008 in 39 states in 2016. It was truly a Revulsion Election. Nobody liked either one of them, they just disliked Hillary more.
But when turnout was at an all time high, in 2020, Trump lost everything: the presidency, the House, and the Senate.
Low turnout has almost always favored Republicans. It is tried and true election wisdom. High turnout not so much.
Cernovich is allied with the likes of OG MAGA Steve Bannon, an ex-con, who is probably the chief advocate of an illegal Trump 2028 run.
What a shock, right?
