They are trying to warehouse people in Federal Plaza. Some video just got out. This is right downtown.https://abc7ny.com/post/nyc-leaders-call-inspection-video-shows-poor-conditions-26-federal-plaza-detention-center-manhattan/17262378/

Some people have been in there for WEEKS on the damn floor sleeping next to the toilet and obviously they don't have any way to get the word out since it looks like this video was smuggled or something. By the way did you know you can buy a tiny camera that records to and SD card for like $7 bucks? Might be a good idea to practice different ways of using it.

Images are very important to help people understand what's being done. Basically they have "detained" (kidnapped) more people than they can process or deport. I've mentioned this before but the deportation numbers for this year are BELOW what it was during Obama, which tells you both how much Obama was doing but also something else: the *detaining* (don't use the word "arrest") are HIGHER.What that means is they have a lot of people and no where to put them. This is NOT a problem you want.

The reasons the deportations aren't any higher is you need to have a place to deport a person *to* and they have already gone after all of the people who have places to go.They are now going after people whose primary residence is HERE. People with houses, car payments who have been here for years. If they deported YOU where would they send you?"But I'm a citizen."Nevertheless what would happen? You'd say "No this is a mistake" and now you are in a camp or whatever this video is showing.

Also if the ICE guy is saying "well you were born in Mexico you could go back there." But you haven't been there for a decade. What city? Where would you go?Maybe you came here as a child and you don't even know what that country is like. Maybe you are stateless and don't have documentation for any nation. So you'd fight to stay and hopefully get out before you lose your job, before your whole life is wrecked.

@futurebird Yeah, I've been contemplating what it'd be like to suddenly find myself in Ireland. At least they speak English. Mostly, anyway.Or France. Or England. Or whatever.I wouldn't know anybody. I'd just become another refugee. It would suck.

@futurebird There has been a long trend, which I consider sad, of Mexican immigrants not teaching their children Spanish (Ironically, complying with all the RW nuts demanding they *speak English*).So in fact, many wouldn't even speak the language.And even those that do often speak in a very poor uneducated way, because they had no formal Spanish training in school!

@futurebird also note that Obama’s numbers are higher because he formalized the process at the border - most of his deportations were people right at the border turned away (but processed formally while previous administrations just turned people away - removals vs returns) and actual criminals. it’s arguable that his policy wasn’t a good one but it was considerably different than the current administration. And Bush and Clinton deported 10M and 12M vs 5m for Obamahttps://washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/13/why-obamas-immigration-enforcement-policy-was-better-than-trumps/

@futurebird they are also supposed to go through immigration court in order to deport. They’ve been trying to bend and break the law to see if they can get around that technical detail.

@tuban_muzuru He creeps me out because he's so obviously into lying to get people hurt. He was yelling about criminal immigrants, claimed the child of an undocumented woman would grow up to be a criminal in a news clip -- and I know that he knows that's false. It's just a lie to scare people. Anyone working for ICE also knows it's false too. But I think like many law enforcement types they have their own rationalizations based on feeling sorry for themselves because maybe someone was rude.

@futurebird Singapore solved the bribery problem by paying law enforcement and bureaucrats much higher salaries - as a happy side effect, they evolved one of the most draconian and competent police force.

@futurebird I'd be willing to bet hat building has an occupancy permit that prohibits using it as residential / sleeping quarters and fire codes that limit the number of people who can be in the building at once. If you ir anyone you know is in NY, you should start innundating the fire marshall and the code enforcement office with complaints.

@futurebird Today at my college I went out for my noon bike ride and a lady was talking in her phone about figuring out where a bathroom was. She was here for today's "New Citizen Check In" where they get to be official, and her family was doing that. Except they had been held for 8 hours by immigration folks even tho' they are US citizens. No reason. No bathroom, no place to change baby. "I don't know what this is!" (I answered "yes, we know what this is.")

@futurebird Correct. You're saying "This is a big mistake!" But so is everybody else. And the guard, who doesn't have a clue says, "Tell that to the jailer in Sudan. Or wherever the hell they send you." Or he just says Shut Up as he's been instructed to do.

@futurebird ⏫ I would think New York has a more concentrated population therefore making it easier to block i c e in the way that Los Angeles is but if this sort of thing is happening, they are kidnapping people without much attention from the population which is disconcerting Especially considering the rhetoric Nazis are using around the Riverside shooting

@futurebird I mean, there are many reasons I wouldn't go to the US ATM, but I would most definitely get in trouble if I did."Well, ICE ICE baby, you came from your mothers ****, so you can go back there, like so many others have".And then I am in Dachau Florida.

@voxofgod I think having more people around makes big flashy actions harder, but my understanding is they have been doing the same ICE raids we've put up with for 10 years which generally involve having a warrant for a person with some criminal history and picking that person up.HOWEVER what appears to have changed is now when they get in a building to get the person they also just take extra random people too. Not people who are "associates" , just random people from the same building.

@futurebird this, I believe, is the crucial point people don’t get. Maybe because they’re genuinely incapable of understanding what “lack of due process” means, or because they shut it out to protect themselves from the terror of what it would mean for them.Because it *is* deeply unsettling if actually anyone can be next. And even due process is often deeply inhumane: There are numerous German news articles about rejected asylum seekers and their kids being deported after years of living here.
