"Thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill, ICE has new funding to expand detention space to keep murderers, rapists, pedophiles, gang members, and terrorists off American streets before they are removed for good from our communities," the statement continues. "Secretary [Kristi] Noem aims to work with officials on both sides of the aisle to expand detention space to help ICE law enforcement carry out the largest deportation effort in American history."

It said that ICE sites "undergo community impact studies and a rigorous due diligence process to make sure there is no hardship on local utilities or infrastructure prior to purchase," and that the Roxbury facility would bring 1,300 jobs to the area, contribute $161.2 million to the GDP and bring in more than $39.2 million in tax revenue.

So, what does she mean when she says electing the right leaders? Tapper asked on Sunday's edition of CNN's State of the Union. That's not really immigration enforcement or DHS responsibility. I don't know, that'd be a question for the secretary, Homan answered. If I had to guess, probably, that, you know, only those legally eligible to vote would vote, but I have not talked to the secretary about those statements. That'd be something she'd have to answer.

Just days before Donald Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan formally announced that the Department of Homeland Security's deadly surge of thousands of armed and masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents into their city would end, 1,600 Minnesotans had filled the cavernous Central Lutheran Church in downtown Minneapolis with the chorus of their singing resistance:

A federal agent stops a car during a routine traffic stop amid the Trump administration's anti-immigrant crackdown. The driver rolls down the window, and before asking for any documents, the officer takes a picture of the person behind the wheel. Or perhaps, during an immigration raid, some neighbors try to prevent masked agents from entering a private residence without a warrant, and a confrontation ensues. The agents restrain a witness, and while the person is still struggling on the ground, they point a cell phone camera at them and take a picture.

Mobile Fortify, now used by United States immigration agents in towns and cities across the US, is not designed to reliably identify people in the streets and was deployed without the scrutiny that has historically governed the rollout of technologies that impact people's privacy, according to records reviewed by WIRED. The Department of Homeland Security launched Mobile Fortify in the spring of 2025 to "determine or verify" the identities of individuals stopped or detained by DHS officers during federal operations, records show.

DHS claimed in their statement about the event that the man had been armed and acted as a threat to agents who were conducting an operation in the area. The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots, they said.

I'm a nobody. A dad in [conservative] Florida, Davis wrote. And I'm the one who bought nazis.us because [Trump's Republican party] went full fascist and not a soul in power thought to actually raise hell. So I did. Davis added that if establishment figures won't fight Nazis, then a nobody fucking will.

The Department of Homeland Security has stopped using software that automatically captured text messages and saved trails of communication between officials, according to sworn court statements filed this week. Instead, the agency began in April to require officials to manually take screenshots of their messages to comply with federal records laws, citing cybersecurity concerns with the autosave software. The policy expects officials to first take screenshots of the text messages on their work phones,

The Department of Homeland Security has determined that the suspect was "flown in by the Biden administration in September 2021" and "his status was extended under legislation signed by President Biden." Zoom in: Trump said the attack "underscores the single greatest national security threat facing our nation," pointing to millions of immigrants in the U.S. whom he said were "unknown and unvetted."

The Department of Homeland Security says the revamped system can help enforce laws that only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections, although experts worry that it threatens Americans' privacy and could potentially disenfranchise legitimate voters. New DHS regulatory documents detail how the network gathers information from various government datasets, including passport records, driver's license databases and Social Security files.

If you're filing an immigration form - or helping someone who is - the Feds may soon want to look in your eyes, swab your cheek, and scan your face. The US Department of Homeland Security wants to greatly expand biometric data collection for immigration applications, covering immigrants and even some US citizens tied to those cases. DHS, through its component agency US Citizenship and Immigration Services, on Monday proposed a sweeping expansion of the agency's collection of biometric data.

The Department of Homeland Security took to X/Twitter on Monday (27 October) morning urging people to help "destroy the flood" with a post inspired by the video game franchise. The post features a screenshot from Halo: Combat Evolved showing the game's protagonist, Master Chief, driving a Warthog, with the text "Destroy the Flood" and a link to the Immigration & Customs Enforcement's sign-up page.
