We're well-equipped to document these flights in Minnesota, but our neighbors in other states could use a hand - if you're able to chip in a few bucks to help get them gear, it'd be appreciated: ottergoose.net/ice

A shackled detainee was thrown to the ground, placed in a WRAP full-body restraint, and carried onto today's ICE Air flight at MSP.

This is the first time we've seen the device used in Minnesota.

If a loved one may have been aboard, full loading sequence is here: youtube.com/watch?v=MEMv2ngB1GI

Once again: The ICE Air Operations Handbook allows children as young as 13 to be shackled on ICE flights. All adults are shackled except pregnant and postpartum women (up to two weeks) and, on removal flights only, single parents with young children. That’s according to their own policy.

I wrote about Julian Curo-Churata last week. His only conviction appears to be a traffic offense. A civil immigration violation should not carry the death penalty.

This story hits on at least 3 of my ongoing 287(g) threads: 1️⃣ small town police chief in VA signs an agreement in May, w/o town council authorization. 2️⃣ taps into the Task Force 287(g) cash cow, earning the agency over $100K from ICE. 3️⃣ town council sides w/ PD against vocal community push back.

This is a crisis. ICE is disappearing and murdering people with impunity. Where the fuck is Oscar Belgal?

For almost 2 years now, DHS has repeatedly told me they're not detaining U.S. citizens

It's simply not true

So @propublica.org published the receipts: a searchable database of the 500+ citizens detained by immigration agents during this Trump administration

ICE had claimed Belgal had "a superficial wound to his neck."

UPDATE: As promised, we’ve been watching SEC filings to ensure Citizens Bank keeps its promise to stop lending to CoreCivic and GEO Group. A new filing from GEO Group confirms Citizens is no longer the lead bank on the company’s $550M credit agreement.

At least seven companies have contracts to help DHS extract these ludicrous penalties from migrants.

After @jkangbrown.bsky.social and I published analysis of ICE arrest data, Jacob got updated USMS figures.

We can now see the feds have expanded the number of people detained on federal immigration charges by *29%* since 2024, circumventing sanctuary laws www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2026/10...

Palantir’s work processing tips for ICE: "[ICE made a $1.96M payment to Palantir] to modify the Investigative Case Management System (ICM)—a version of Palantir’s law enforcement product, Gotham, which stores info about ICE investigations—to include the 'Tipline & Investigative Leads Suite'."

The agent posed as a construction worker and fired multiple rounds into the car while there was a child inside. Now ICE is preventing lawmakers from talking to the victim in the hospital.

Mass surveillance impacts all of us, but this is why it's at the forefront of my mind right now.

Funnel-shaped diagram with five stacked tiers, each with an icon, narrowing from top to bottom:

Mass Surveillance: bulk collection of data such as credit records, utility bills, license plate scans, and social media.
Profile-Building: raw data linked to create profiles on individuals and communities.
Targeted Surveillance: location verification (skip tracing, “wellness checks”) and GPS tracking.
Enforcement Actions: equipment and tech supporting ICE and 287(g) apprehensions.
Detention & Transport: detention beds, facility services, and ground and air transportation.

A curved arrow loops from Targeted Surveillance back up to Profile-Building, indicating that targeted surveillance feeds back into profiles.
