twas the night before trumpmas 
 
twas the night before trumpmas,
and throughout the church house,
not a democrat was stirring,
except the old parish mouse,
who awakened to check out,
just what was the clatter,
as men wheeled in voting machines,
to settle the matter,
of who would now lead us,
- cause they were secure,
to protect us from voter fraud,
though the mouse still demure,
did not notice donald pussycat,
a veteran mouse-catcher,
who gobbled her up,
- trumps latest poll-watcher!

About the ICE List

The ICE List Wiki is a public, verifiable record of immigration enforcement activity in the United States.

It documents incidents, agencies, individuals, facilities, vehicles, and legal authorities involved in enforcement operations. Entries are structured, sourced, and timestamped to support verification, cross-referencing, and long-term analysis. The wiki is intended for use by journalists, researchers, advocates, and the general public.

This project was created by Crust News.

Project status: This wiki is in active development. Structure, navigation, and data standards are being finalised. Older pages may be reformatted as standards are applied consistently.
Using the data

The ICE List Wiki is designed for public use. Journalists, researchers, and advocacy groups use the data to track enforcement patterns, identify repeat agencies or jurisdictions, and contextualise individual incidents. Pages may be cited with attribution.

Warning: Do Not Use Ring Cameras

Amazon’s Ring cameras are integrated into U.S. law-enforcement workflows. Police agencies can request footage directly from Ring users, allowing private home surveillance video to be shared with law enforcement.

In 2025, Ring partnered with Flock Safety, further linking consumer cameras to nationwide law-enforcement surveillance platforms.

Civil-liberties groups warn this expands surveillance with limited transparency or oversight. ICE List strongly recommends against purchasing or using Ring cameras.

    Killing of Silverio Villegas González by ICE 2025-09-12 • Franklin Park, Illinois

    ICE agents, including Moore, Arian S., fatally shot Silverio Villegas González during an immigration enforcement operation in a residential area outside Chicago. ICE claimed the shooting was justified by a vehicle-related threat, but body-worn camera footage, witness accounts, and independent reporting have raised serious questions about the accuracy of the official narrative.

    Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino will no longer be able to terrorize Minnesotans.

    On Monday, the mad king Donald Trump cried uncle in Minneapolis, uncharacteristically making nice with Democratic Gov. Tim Walz and, for the first time since taking office, appearing to de-escalate his war on Democratic-run cities.

    By Monday evening, The Atlantic’s Mick Miroff reported that Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino wasn’t merely being sent out of Minnesota, he was being fully demoted, with his entire social media operation dismantled.

    “Bovino became a MAGA social-media star as he traveled the country with his own film crew and used social media to hit back at Democratic politicians and random critics online,” reported Miroff. “Veteran ICE and CBP officials grew more and more uneasy as Bovino worked outside his agency’s chain of command and appeared to relish his role as a political actor.”

    A makeshift memorial is placed where Alex Pretti was fatally shot by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis.

    There is zero chance Trump cared about any official unease. What likely enraged him was how catastrophically he and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem handled the aftermath of the Border Patrol’s killing of Alex Pretti. The lies that followed were so brazen and clumsy that even many Republicans struggled to defend them. That list, apparently, included Trump himself.

    And the fallout may not stop with Bovino. Miroff reported that Noem and her close adviser Corey Lewandowski, Bovino’s biggest backers inside DHS, are now themselves at risk of losing their jobs. One can only hope.

    The demotion also follows Miroff’s reporting from Saturday detailing deepening recruitment and training problems inside Border Patrol and ICE, problems that the Minneapolis operation has only made worse.

    “One ICE official I spoke with told me that some of the new hires, especially rehired retirees, are having second thoughts,” Miroff wrote. “Hundreds of the returning officers have been ordered to Minnesota, two officials said, where the administration is conducting the largest-ever DHS crackdown. Some officers have been so cold and miserable that they’ve already quit, and ICE officials have held calls to figure out how to deal with the sudden resignations.”

    But the problem isn’t just the weather. Previous administrations were capable of deporting undocumented immigrants with criminal records without laying siege to entire cities. What’s changed is the job itself.

    “Returning officers who have come back from retirement are finding themselves in unfamiliar roles,” Miroff reported. “They spent much of their careers trying to conduct low-key ‘targeted enforcement’ operations in which they planned arrests in advance and sought to take suspects into custody in the safest and least dramatic way possible. Now they’re out in the streets wearing masks, with protesters yelling at them and video cameras rolling. ICE has changed, and the job isn’t the same.”

    ICE and Border Patrol have certainly changed. Defenders will argue that this is just a temporary deviation, that these agencies can be restored to their prior norms under a future administration. Maybe that will be true someday. But it won’t be easy, because Trump and his allies didn’t just politicize these agencies, they actively selected the worst people to staff them.

    Who else willingly signs up to terrorize fellow Americans while hiding behind masks, basking in confrontation as crowds scream in their faces? It takes a particular kind of damaged psyche to want that job. And as countless videos have shown, many of these people don’t just tolerate it, they revel in it.

    That rot can’t be reformed away. It has to be torn out. The entire structure needs to be demolished and rebuilt from scratch, with everyone who participated in this era barred from future government service.

    But that reckoning can wait. For now, good riddance to Bovino. If luck holds, he’s gone for good.

    Noem should be next. Perhaps she’ll spare herself the humiliation and resign before Trump does what he always does in the end: making sure loyalty is a one-way street.

    “Is This Who We Are Now?” Rep. Jasmine Crockett Confronts Racism and Abuse of Power

     

    “Is This Who We Are Now?” Rep. Jasmine Crockett Confronts Racism and Abuse of Power

     

    We Are Now?” Rep. Jasmine Crockett Confronts Racism and Abuse of Power

    Jan 16, 2026 #JasmineCrockett #Congress #CivilRights
    In this hearing, Rep. Jasmine Crockett speaks from frustration, history, and facts. As a civil rights lawyer and member of Congress, she confronts what too many are dancing around: racial profiling, ICE overreach, and a government that keeps pretending cruelty is policy. This is not a left versus right argument. It’s about whether we still believe in the Constitution. It’s about whether arresting people for their skin color, their accent, or their disagreement is ever acceptable. And it’s about calling racism what it is instead of watering it down for comfort. Crockett connects today’s abuses to the past, refuses to soften the language, and makes one thing clear: when rights are violated for some, none of us are safe. Silence is not neutrality. It’s permission. This is what oversight looks like when someone actually shows up to do the job.
     
    I've heard so much and I have prepared
    remarks and if you know anything about
    me, you never know where I'm going. Um,
    and frankly, I don't either because I
    have already cried this morning. Um, and
    you know, so I'll just start here. As a
    civil rights lawyer, I'm insensed. As an
    American, I'm embarrassed. As a human,
    I'm infuriated. And as a member of
    Congress, I am immovable in my pursuit
    of accountability.
    You see, right now people want to
    pretend as if this is right or left, but
    I'm here to tell you that this is about
    right or wrong. And it is very sad that
    the only people that are sitting here
    are members of the Democratic side. So,
    I guess we just want to stand on the
    side of rights. For once, we will be
    associated with being right instead of
    left.
    Because my question to any of you, and I
    just go down the line and ask you, is it
    right or wrong to arrest someone because
    of the color of their skin?
    Absolutely not.
    Is it right or wrong to arrest somebody
    because of their accent?
    Wrong.
    Is it right or wrong to arrest somebody
    because they were exercising their
    constitutional rights?
    It is wrong.
    Is it right or wrong to arrest somebody
    because they simply disagree with you?
    It's wrong.
    All right. So, it seems like y'all all
    went to elementary school and y'all can
    tell right from wrong. I'm not really
    sure what is going on with ICE right
    now, but I can tell you and as we heard
    earlier, this is pure racism. I don't
    know why we want to tinker around with
    it and pretend as if it's something
    other than what it is. I like to call a
    thing a thing. And he has told us time
    and time again who he was when he talked
    about certain people being from certain
    hole countries. Those are his
    words. the only reason I'm cussing in
    this moment. When he said things like
    they are eating the cats and dogs,
    we knew exactly what we were getting.
    And some people are saying, "I don't
    know how we got here, but I do
    because we know that dehumanizing I
    believe that you said something to the
    effect of cruelty and humiliation are
    the point."
    That's what you said, Miss Patty.
    Because when we look at other places,
    say places that did things like, oh, you
    know, go door todo
    looking for people as they had to hide
    out, say, in an attic. Does that sound
    familiar to anybody?
    Or the images that I have seen of people
    being attacked by law enforcement,
    whether we're talking about dogs or fire
    hoses, it seems very reminiscent of
    something that we have seen before in
    this country. And then people get
    offended and try to say I'm too black.
    But the reality is that y'all never let
    the fact that I am black go.
    So I'm going to be clear about one
    thing. I know my good black history. And
    so when I look and I say, and I will say
    it loud and proud because the DH
    secretary had a few choice words for me,
    but this looks like modern-day slave
    patrols.
    And they have been sanctioned by this
    Supreme Court.
    Who ever thought we would live in a
    country that progress looks like having
    a Supreme Court that says yes, it is
    okay to look at somebody or to listen to
    their accent and give permission to grab
    them. The last time that I checked, ICE
    is only supposed to be doing immigration
    enforcement. And right now we have a
    record number of US citizens that have
    not only been arrested but as we saw
    with Renee that have been killed, that
    have been maimed, that have been
    bullied, that have been brutalized, that
    have been unlawfully arrested. Y'all, we
    are living with an abuser right now.
    That is who Trump and his administration
    is. And frankly, I think we all have a
    little bit of PTSD. But if you know
    anything about a domestic abuser,
    the one thing about them that you need
    to know is that they are some of the
    biggest cowards that you will ever find.
    What they can't stand is when you
    actually fight back. And so, thank you
    so much for everybody in Minnesota. But
    it is time for our ent entire country to
    stand together. Because if you don't
    recognize that we are all in the same
    sinking ship, whether you are black,
    white, Latino, African, whoever you are,
    the reality is that we have an
    administration that has decided that
    they are going to ignore our
    constitutional rights and we will not
    stand for it otherwise our democracy
    will fall. So I just got this to say
    because she has Thank you,
    Representative Crockett. We got some
    people that got to make some planes. So
