Is every agency of the tRump admin totally screwed up and useless? But I want to point out the Nazi like states used such as defend the homeland. These Nazi wannabee white supremacists are so desperate to have the Nazi ideology forced on the public that they slip it into every aspect of the current administration. Hugs

Political cartoons / memes / and news I want to share. 2-13-2026
I have to ask why the republicans are against counting every vote of people entitled to vote by law. Why do they work so hard to restrict voter options and confine voting to a time and place where only their majority supporters tend to vote? Because they are not interested in representing the will of the people, they demand the right to rule over the public. The country better wake up because think of the right wing head explosions if the left was trying to restrict right wing voting areas. The right wants a single party rule like in China onely with them in charge. Hugs
If this goes through I will not be able to vote. I was adopted and my birth certificate has my adoptive parents names on it. In 2015 when the state of Florida allowed same sex marriages to become law Ron and I were the first ones in our county to get married. It was a wonderful event. But then I went to the Social Security office and had my last name legally changed to Ron’s, I am proudly Scottie Miller. I think everyone here can understand why I hated the last name I had which was the name of my abusers. So I was so happy to be able to change that and the forms that I was handed showing that came with a handwritten note of support and a heart emoji. Hugs
Understand none of these kids in that car did anything wrong… Other than being black. This is blatant racism being allowed to terrorize the nonwhite communities / people in the hopes of racially purifying and cementing the white people as the dominitate race while everyone else is a less than. This is an attempt by white supremacists in the US government / employed by the US government to create and inforce an US Apartide system. Horrific. Hugs
MS Now clips Of Pam Bondi mocking, shouting at, disrespecting, Insulting, and disregarding democrats at oversite hearing.
OK MS Now has like 35 or 40 of these clips. They are difficult to stomach, but I am going to post a couple. MS Now posted clips of her attacking every democrat who had time at the hearings, so if you want to see the questions asked and her outright disrespect and trashing of the entire system in her performance for tRump all with the republicans on the committee’s approval. I sincerely hope the republicans remember how they acted when the democrats take power this fall and I hope democrats reamin strong enough to pay back the republicans in kind. Hugs
If you watch only one watch this one below. It has all the worst interactions. She acted like a spoiled bratty Karen. She came ready to accuse the democratic congress people of crimes instead of answering questions. She is a bitter entitled woman. Hugs

ICE Worker Leaks Concentration Camp Ghoulish Conditions
The conditions are on purpose to make people so miserable they give up their rights to asylum or any cases they have going. The ICE people / US government are already violating the rights of the people they kidnap off the streets. These are as bad as any concentration camp and the US government denies it all. When Democrats take power / authority back we need to investigate and punish all involved. The government flat out lies and gaslights the public as if they think nothing will ever be found out. Hugs

Names of the wealthy abusers still redacted. Hugs
The DOJ is making it as difficult as possible for the congress people to see the files. Only 4 computers are set up for hundreds of congress people. Plus they are still redacted not of the victims but of the names of the abusers. Hugs
Yes, investigation claimed at least 1,200 detainees ‘dropped off the grid’ from ‘Alligator Alcatraz’

- Investigations by the Miami Herald found that the whereabouts of two-thirds of over 1,800 men detained at “Alligator Alcatraz” during July 2025 were unknown, contradicting claims that 1,200 detainees were missing from the facility.
- The Herald used two detainee rosters obtained in July and August to determine that 800 detainees had no record in ICE’s online database, while over 450 had no location listed, raising concerns about the accuracy of detainee tracking at the Florida migrant detention center.
- Despite claims of missing detainees, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security denied that anyone was unaccounted for at “Alligator Alcatraz” in ICE’s online detention locator system, highlighting discrepancies between public reports and official statements regarding the facility.
In January 2026, a claim resurfaced online that approximately 1,200 detainees were “missing” from the so-called Alligator Alcatraz, the Florida migrant detention center touted by Trump as the “new standard” for immigration facilities.
“BREAKING NEWS 1200 detainees at alligator alcatraz are missing and their records have been wiped,” read one Instagram post (archived) on Jan. 28.
While it is true that according to a series of investigations by the Miami Herald, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at “Alligator Alcatraz” during July 2025 were unknown, January 2026 posts claiming these findings were “breaking news” were misleading. The Herald published its findings in a series of investigations in summer 2025.
We first broke down the Herald’s investigations on Sept. 25, 2025, when a number of social media posts (archived, archived, archived) circulated the claim. The Jan. 28 Instagram post above was a repost of a video (archived) originally shared by TikTok account @rark.muffalo on Sept. 23, 2025:
The Herald did not claim to independently verify whether family members could not locate the 1,200 detainees, as the posts above claimed, but rather used two detainee rosters the outlet obtained to inform its reporting. It was unclear whether any significant developments took place since we first published our assessment of the investigations, but we reached out to the Herald reporters who reported the stories seeking any relevant information, and will update this story if we receive a response.
On July 14, the Herald first published the names of more than 700 detainees housed at “Alligator Alcatraz.” The story noted:
The list — made public for the first time here — was shared with the Department of Homeland Security and the Florida Division of Emergency Management, which oversees the site. Neither disputed its accuracy.
On Aug. 19, the Herald published another story based on a second list the outlet obtained of 1,400 detainees’ names. The reporters did not list each name on the roster as they did with the July 14 story. In the second story, reporters compared the two datasets and searched names on the detainee locator system for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and found that two out of five immigrants on the list of detainees from the outlet’s July 14 story were moved elsewhere. The Aug. 19 story read:
More than 40% of the 750 detainees in the initial list were sent not out of the country but to other ICE facilities, the Herald found. Another 40% were still at the detention center.
Alligator Alcatraz detainees often did not appear in ICE’s locator system, the Herald found, and the fate of the rest — around 150 detainees — is unclear. Some of them were likely still at Alligator Alcatraz but others may have been deported.
The numbers in both data sets are snapshots in time, and fluctuate as detainees enter and leave the facility.
By Sept. 16, reporters Ben Wieder and Shirsho Dasgupta used the two detainee lists the Herald obtained in July and August to determine that, “As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.”
They then broke the numbers down. According to their findings, 800 detainees showed no record in the online database for ICE, while more than 450 listed no location and only instructed the user to “Call ICE for details.”
We wrote to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — which oversees ICE — as well as the Florida Division of Emergency Management — which oversees operations at “Alligator Alcatraz” — seeking information on detainees reportedly not accounted for. DHS responded: “FALSE. No one is unaccounted — including at Alligator Alcatraz — in ICE’s online detention locator system. This is yet another hoax about the facility.”
While the Herald did not reveal where it had obtained the two lists of detainees, the news site did use public records to reportedly verify the accuracy of the lists. In an email to Snopes, Wieder wrote:
To inform our reporting in this story and our prior stories, we compared information on the lists we’ve obtained with information from ICE’s online detainee locator system. We’ve also verified information from the lists with the EOIR immigration courts database and with other public records. Our comparison of the data we’ve obtained with these other external records and numerous interviews has confirmed the accuracy of the data.
Broadly speaking, the detention center — which is technically run by the state of Florida — has reportedly made it difficult for attorneys to reach their detained clients, therefore allegedly violating detainees’ First and Fifth amendment rights, according to a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union.
The Sept. 16 story, while dependent on these two detainee rosters for evidence, also presented testimony from family members of two detainees who had reportedly gone missing.
One man, a 53-year-old Guatemalan detained at “Alligator Alcatraz” whose family asked that his name not be included for fear of retribution, didn’t show up for a hearing, according to his attorney. A government attorney told the man’s attorney that he’d accidentally been sent to Guatemala instead of being transferred to a different detention center ahead of the hearing, as planned.
Communication from another man, Cuban national Michael Borrego Fernandez, went silent after ICE transferred him to another facility in California. His family described the situation as “psychological torture,” as they were worried about his health, given a recent surgery. They then found him in Mexico, where ICE had deported him without notice.
In sum, while Snopes had not independently verified that each name on the purported lists the Miami Herald used to determine that two-thirds of the detainees at “Alligator Alcatraz” during July 2025 were missing from ICE’s locator system, evidence exists from real cases that detainees apparently have gone missing for stretches of time, or are not where ICE said they were. Therefore, the possibility exists that other detainees reportedly missing from the ICE system were also deported or sent to other unknown facilities without their family’s or attorney’s knowledge.
