JUST IN: The Inspector General of DHS released a report showing ICE fails to meet basic detention standards, with little to no accountability.

This comes on the heels of DHS's plans to jail tens of thousands of immigrants, including children and their parents, on military bases.
The independent DHS Inspector General has exposed how ineffectual ICE inspections are, and how delinquent the agency is in addressing serious violations. In some cases, inspectors outright lied — and were caught by the Inspector General during the course of its investigation.
It's been clear for decades that ICE is a rogue agency with little to no oversight.

We're nearing 200 deaths in ICE detention. It's time to demand that Congress stop funding ICE's jailing of immigrants and reject Trump's attempts to build massive family prison camps.
It's more apparent than ever that we need to rein in rampant @ICEgov abuses. Tell DHS: aclu.org/puticeonaleash

These are just some of the ways the Trump Administration has attacked trans and nonbinary people in 2018.
Education. Betsy DeVos has rolled back protections for students filing reports of sexual assault on college campuses. These protections were critical for students who disproportionately experience sexual assault, such as trans and nonbinary students. aclu.org/blog/womens-ri…
Health Care. Just last week, the Trump DOJ asked a court to invalidate health care protections for trans and nonbinary people as part of the ACA. This case is a blatant attempt to keep trans and nonbinary people from accessing basic health care. slate.com/human-interest…

Trump's petulant performance in the Oval Office today shows his position for what it really is: one of a president so obsessed with his wasteful, unnecessary border wall that he promised to withhold paychecks from tens of thousands of federal workers if he doesn’t get his way.
The way forward is clear: Members of Congress should continue to fulfill their obligation to the people they were elected to represent and reject Trump’s border wall. #TrumpShutdown
We will continue to amplify the voices of communities at the border, immigrant families, and all those who refuse to give the president a single taxpayer dollar to waste on a border wall. #TrumpShutdown

When President Trump was elected, we said that he would have to contend with the full firepower of the ACLU if he tried to implement unconstitutional campaign promises.

We meant it, and with your help, we've had big wins.

Let's look back on the last year.

Together we reminded the state of Wisconsin that discrimination comes at a cost.

NEW: DOJ inspector general's office released a report finding a now-former senior DOJ official sexually assaulted and sexually harassed women working for him — no criminal prosecution, the official retired, he isn't named oig.justice.gov/reports/2018/f…
STORY: A new inspector general report says investigators "substantiated" allegations that a now-retired senior DOJ official sexually assaulted and sexually harassed women working below him — the official is not named and was not prosecuted buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
The inspector general's office does not identify officials who it finds committed misconduct in these short investigative summaries. OIG generally releases full reports via FOIA, but sometimes still redacts names. BuzzFeed is in court challenging this: law360.com/articles/97508…

The @USGSA Inspector General just put out a report on what may be one of Trump's most blatantly corrupt actions in office.

That investigation, into why the Administration scuttled plans for a new FBI headquarters, also revealed what looks like a cover-up by the White House. 1/
Background: for over a decade officials have warned that the FBI headquarters was structurally deficient.

The effort to move the FBI to a new building has taken years, thousands of staff hours, and millions of taxpayer dollars. It was nearly there. 2/ washingtonpost.com/news/digger/wp…
Then, last year, the Trump Administration suddenly and inexplicably threw all of that work out the window, and cancelled the plans.

At the time, they offered no alternate proposal, but said one would follow. 3/ washingtonpost.com/business/econo…

With the horrible treatment of immigrant/refugee children in private prisons being revealed, it's worth reposting this thread from my old account, showing how the prisons #ICE uses are filled with abuse; and that ICE is both unwilling and unable to fix it
#AbolishICE
ICE’s Inspections and Monitoring of Detention Facilities Do Not Lead to Sustained Compliance or Systemic Improvements
oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/…
Summary:
-ICE doesn't comply w/ detention standards
-Contracted inspections not thorough; don't fully examine conditions/identify issues
-ICE inspections thorough but rarely happen
-ICE doesn't work to correct issues after they're identified, leaving problems remaining for years

1) James Clapper appears to have what might best be described as a casual relationship with the truth.
themarketswork.com/2018/04/27/cla…
2) Clapper - along w/Brennan - was the architect of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) – Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent U.S. Elections.

3) The DNI’s Intelligence Community Assessment was constructed by three men:

Former DNI James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan and to a lesser extent, former FBI Director James Comey (Strzok also there w/assist).

The ICA was used to push the Russian Narrative.
