ICE has killed 9 people so far in 2026

and the year is just getting started.

We could easily see a summer of protests that rivals 1968 and 2020

If ICE can kill people right out in the open then one can make the assumption that they are killing people inside their concentration camps.

We'll probably never know how many people died at their hands.

I know of no instances in history where what is happening in the US right now has happened somewhere and they did not eventually find mass graves.

You've got a secret police force who was given powers without check and they answer to only the dictator. You've got a group of people who leaders have dehumanized and told this secret police force are evil and the cause of all of the country's woes. You've got hundreds of thousands of this group being hauled away in secret with no oversight to their conditions.

Mass graves are inevitable and they probably already exist. There's ample financial incentive for them too. These holding facilities are getting paid by the head for throughput. It's costly and time consuming to process these prisoners, digging holes is cheaper and more profitable.

To find out that they were not deporting anyone. They were just taking the somewhere and executing them in some deep pit.

Let's look at history to see if this is a sound position.

Umm...

Umm...

Yep. What you say is what usually happens.

I keep hoping that more people will pay attention to history. We could learn a lot from it.

9. Just look at how ICE is treating people in public
Mon Jan 26, 2026, 09:00 AM

They're beating women and terrorizing toddlers while on camera. They're executing people in the street on camera and then high fiving each other over the executions while taunting the families of those they have killed. It's obvious ICE does not consider immigrants and those supporting them to be humans.

All of this in public. Now imagine what they're doing when they know there are no cameras? We're finding bloody and gravely injured people being dumped in the woods around Minnesota. Skull fractures, other broken bones, dumped in the frigid cold without clothing to survive. This is happening right now and it's not one offs.

They are surely killing some of them and hiding the bodies. Of that I have no doubt.

So far in 2026, ICE has murdered NINE PEOPLE.

Let's see -- 2026 is 26 days old. That's roughly one person every third day.

With 365 days in the year, that's about 122 people that ICE will kill this year.

By comparison, New York City records fewer than 20 police killings annually. Maybe they need to take lessons from ICE.

It was Customs Border Patrol that shot Alex.

They are actually considered more violent than ICE.

And he will be reporting directly to Trump. It looks like Trump is growing suspicious of the architects of the murder, violence and cruelty on American streets: Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, with a big assist from Pam Bondi.
Hey Trump, if you want lots of click bait on your Truth Social then how about video of this trash perp walked directly to prison.

young sex workers from Russia and Eastern Europe, and Epstein tentacles of recruiting sex
workers and just disappeared never to be seen or heard from again?

Trump, Putin, Musk, and Epstein are all part of one of the largest criminal enterprises in
history, money laundering, blackmail, sex trafficking, rape, Russian disinformation, murder,
election interference, media manipulation, criminal oligarchs, Israeli intelligence, Saudi
Money, bribes, and Republican capitulation to it all.

For the love of God not only cold blooded murder but Trump is tearing down the White House
and using the rubble and soil to work on public golf courses around D.C..

This is madness.

camps in other countries, we will never know just how many were killed. I ask Gemini where the detention camps were in the US a couple days ago. I had no idea that we have them in Ohio and just a few miles away in WV they are housed in the Northern Reginal Jail in Moundsville WV and also in Parkersburg WV.

*some* have managed to wander into the ERs, at least one with a skull fracture -- but how many succumbed out in the woods ?

patients to their beds, and terrifying patients. Many are skipping appointments, missing exams, medical treatment etc. out of fear.

The reports are coming from Facebook (I don't use FB) and Instagram (ditto) accounts. There's a video interview with a witness, and claims three cases are confirmed, but no link. Apparently, Native Americans are no strangers to this sort of treatment, and refer to it as a "traditional" practice of law "'enforcement".

I do not think the story is true. All I can find is a single Instagram video of one woman making this claim. Nothing on Google, etc., nothing in the news, no claims from anyone supposedly dumped in the woods, and now no official statements from any of the hospitals these people may have ended up in for treatment.

Smells like BS to me.
