Expect more of this to happen all over the country. This shit did not happen before 2016, now it is an every election occurrence. This is maga out in the open trying to steal and suppress voters. Vote early and in person. If you think about this, why would a democrat raid a mail truck in California to get ballots if California is landslide D? They wouldn’t. This screams maga republicans.

We were there to leave banners. No engagement with guards or detainees. And the quiet arrival, placing of banners, and walking off freaked out the guards.

Making fascists uneasy is good work. This is behind the concentration camp, er, i mean ICE Detention Center. And yes, the rail road tracks give it a haunting call out to the darkest history.

We will never become comfortably numb.

A smuggled video out of the South Louisiana ICE Processing Center in Basile, Louisiana, has provided a frantic, real-time window into the desperation and retaliation faced by detained women. Recorded hastily on a facility tablet before guards returned, the footage shows a group of detainees protesting the sudden removal of a fellow woman, Dana, into solitary confinement after she spoke out about the center’s conditions.

The South Louisiana ICE Processing Center in Basile has become the flashpoint of a mounting human rights crisis. In the video, the women explain they are staging a mutiny in the facility’s “Delta Bravo” unit, actively refusing to let guards count them as they demand answers regarding Dana’s safety. According to the detainees, Dana was taken away and locked in the Special Management Unit (SMU) as direct retaliation for filming a previous public complaint. The fear for her well-being is palpable; the women note that facility supervisors sprinted toward the SMU during the incident, leaving the rest of the unit completely in the dark about what was happening to her behind closed doors.

A distressing nighttime interdiction outside Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) highlights the aggressive deployment of plainclothes federal agents operating as a snatch squad in public transit hubs. A bystander, acting as an ad-hoc legal observer, recorded a tense scene in which four unidentified men surrounded a lone woman and effectively kidnapped her, forcing her into an unmarked transport vehicle.

The footage captures a chaotic abduction where the victim is visibly terrified, repeatedly asking for help and pleading for someone to call 911. She is physically corralled by four men wearing casual outerwear and backpacks, completely lacking any visible agency insignia or badges. When the citizen recording the encounter directly asks if the men are ICE, one of the agents confirms their affiliation. Pressed for their legal justification for the seizure, a masked agent briefly cites a vague "immigration violation".

Crucially, before the agents can close the van doors to finalize the kidnapping, the observer repeatedly asks the victim for her name to ensure she does not disappear into the detention system undocumented. Through the open door, she clearly shouts her name twice: Jing Zhao.

While the agents successfully executed the forced disappearance, the observer was able to capture vital accountability data. The camera operator attempts to identify the masked agent, who pulls his black face mask up further and states, "I don't have to identify myself to you". However, as the unmarked white Ford transit van pulls away, the observer tracks the vehicle's departure and documents U.S. Government Department of Homeland Security (DHS) license plates reading 381664
