The stories and accounts of what the Trump/Vance Project 2025 Fascist-Authoritarian Regime is doing to illegal immigrants, people who are in the nation legally, and American Citizens because, thanks to the Conservative Majority on the United States Supreme Court, of what they look like, is voluminous.
Day after day.
Week after week.
Month after month are reports of innocent people being pulled off the nation’s streets or courthouses by masked ICE-Gestapo thugs without proper due process and detained in either existing detention facilities or recently constructed Trump donor owned domestic concentration camps.
According to reporting by the New York Times, 70 percent of the people held in ICE detention do not have a criminal conviction.
Please click here to view this New York Times Video essay on the plight of three innocent individuals here legally in the United States who were kidnapped and detained by American Duce Wannabe Donald Trump’s ICE-Gestapo goons and placed in multiple detention facilities before being released.
They are “Jemmy Jimenez Rosa, a green card holder from Peru; Ayman Soliman is an asylum recipient from Egypt, and Jasmine Mooney is a Canadian citizen who worked in the United States.”
In the video, Rosa, detained after flying back from Cancun on the flimsy reason of having possessed marijuana during her college youth and later pardoned for, reports how she felt like a knife had been stabbed into her heart after she was taken away from her children. She described where she was held like “a prison” where the temperatures were cold and rats squealed. She relayed how she was treated “like a criminal” who was not allowed to shower for five days after her menstrual cycle.
Mooney, someone who was detained after being told she had to reapply for her work visa, describes being taken to “the first detention center in chains.” She went on to say there were 30 people in the cell with her. She also relayed that they were made to take pregnancy tests together. She was later told that she was in the United States illegally when she was not.
Soliman, taken under the dubious allegation that he donated to a “Tier Three Terrorist Organization,” was searched after being stripped naked, also endured freezing temperatures in detention, and was placed in solitary confinement for asking for a private prayer space for he and his fellow Moslem detainees, said of his “traumatizing” experience, “I never expected this in America.”
Their tales, like thousands of others who were subjected to the same terror, show what peril many innocents, because of the color of their skin, the way they talk, and the racist ineptness of Homeland Security White Nationalist personnel, face in Donald Trump’s dark vision for America.
In order to bring further attention to the shameful acts of ICE goons, House Democrats on the Oversight Committee have launched an Oversight Immigration Enforcement Dashboard where verifiable abuses from Donald Trump’s White Nationalist Regime can be reported.

Speaking in Los Angeles on the launching of the dashboard, Representative Yassamin Ansari, a strong voice in reporting the abuses of ICE and Homeland Security towards the immigrant community and American Citizens, said:
“I think this is absolutely just the beginning of this work…The dashboard that was launched today is a critical tool. That’s what we want every single person in the country to make sure they’re submitting anything that they know of, and we will assess credibility. But we want to make sure we’re tracking everything that’s happening across the country…This is also on the public to make sure we are out there. We know our rights. We’re taking videos. We’re taking footage. It takes everyone but yes, absolutely, this is the beginning. I know we’re talking with the Judiciary Committee as well about doing something in Phoenix, Arizona. There’s detention centers across this country that are going to quadruple because 40 billion dollars from the Trump Reconciliation Bill is going towards expanding and funneling money into CoreCivic and Geo group, the two major private prison companies that gave billions of dollars to help elect Donald Trump that are now profiting. And I’ve been inside these detention centers three times in Arizona. They are horrific. I’ve spoken with dozens of women who are being abused there every single day, and so their stories are also important. There’s what we’re seeing on the streets that ICE is doing. And then there’s a lot happening inside the facilities that we have very little eyes on.”
