Will Bunch: "But officials in the small town of just 5,000 also did something else that probably raised some hackles at Kristi Noem’s ultrasecretive Department of Homeland Security (DHS). They made public what few documents that DHS has so far been willing to share with Social Circle, including its blueprint for what the innards of an American gulag will look like.

"Close to two-thirds of the massive, rectangular floor plan is divided into 80 squares separated by narrow corridors, each box with dozens of strike marks. The thousands of marks presumably represent bunk beds but what they truly signify is human beings."

Saw this at the DMV. State of Oregon says no to ICE. And they also say no to any employee who wants to go rogue and let them in anyway.

The Department of Homeland Security has a new major contract with Palantir.

"The agreement simplifies how DHS buys software from Palantir, allowing DHS agencies like Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to essentially skip the competitive bidding process for new purchases of up to $1 billion in products and services from the company."

The #Arizona state senate has a bill (SB 1635) trying to ban blowing whistles to alert the community to #ICE.

In case you were wondering whether the whistles are effective and important.

Nazis don't like them, so get thee a whistle! Better yet, find an Indivisible group on Mobilize.us that is distributing whistle kits with Know Your Rights information. You can help your city get ready in case you get invaded. You do not have to be on the front lines to help.

NEW: Rather than turn former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández over to immigration officials when he was released from #prison less than four years into a 45-year sentence, the #Trump administration paid to transport him 350 miles to a posh #NYC hotel.
