AMERICANALMANAC (Ken Jacobs) - Homeland Security labels mom’s ICE contractor website a ‘threat’ as public scrutiny rises
A Texas mother’s website mapping the money behind ICE contractors drew a secret Homeland Security alert labeling it a possible tool for “anarchist extremists”, a move critics say undermines free speech and transparency. When Laura Berlin, a nonprofit communications professional and mother of two, began mapping companies and politicians connected to Immigration and Customs Enforcement […] The post Homeland Security labels mom’s ICE contractor website a ‘threat’ as public scrutiny rises appeared first on American Almanac .
A Texas mother’s website mapping the money behind ICE contractors drew a secret Homeland Security alert labeling it a possible tool for “anarchist extremists”, a move critics say undermines free speech and transparency. When Laura Berlin, a nonprofit communications professional and mother of two, began mapping companies and politicians connected to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in April 2025, she likely did not expect her website to become the subject of a secret Homeland Security intelligence bulletin. But as Berlin’s interactive Google Map, hosted on boycottcitizens.org, gained traction among activists and protest groups, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) quietly flagged her project as information that could…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Ken Jacobs) - Federal judge blocks Colorado's crackdown on Aurora ICE detention center
A Trump-appointed federal judge temporarily struck down key provisions of a Colorado law that singled out the state's only ICE detention facility for special inspections and steep fines, ruling the state likely crossed a constitutional line. Chief U.S. District Judge Daniel Domenico issued a preliminary injunction Thursday blocking the enforcement provisions of Colorado House Bill […] The post Federal judge blocks Colorado's crackdown on Aurora ICE detention center appeared first on American Almanac .
A Trump-appointed federal judge temporarily struck down key provisions of a Colorado law that singled out the state's only ICE detention facility for special inspections and steep fines, ruling the state likely crossed a constitutional line. Chief U.S. District Judge Daniel Domenico issued a preliminary injunction Thursday blocking the enforcement provisions of Colorado House Bill 26-1276, a law Democratic Governor Jared Polis signed on June 4. The measure expanded state and local oversight of immigration detention centers, but in practice it applied to just one place: the GEO Group's Aurora ICE Processing Center, Colorado's lone ICE detention facility. Fox News Digital reported that Domenico found the law discriminated against GEO based…Open
What separate legal action did Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser take against the GEO Group?
On the Wednesday prior to the ruling, Weiser's office filed a lawsuit seeking to force the company to cooperate with a state investigation into tuberculosis at the Aurora facility.
Q&A ID 3e9ac070-6aff-4e62-9cdc-148cecff4d36
Why did Judge Domenico decline to block the reporting and staffing requirements in the law?
He declined to block them because Colorado informed the court that these requirements were not currently being enforced and would require a future rulemaking process that the state had no immediate plans to begin.
Q&A ID d5217c9c-9d41-4ca4-b8a2-cbf0b4af4f21
On what legal grounds did Judge Daniel Domenico rule against the enforcement provisions of the Colorado law?
The ruling was based on the Constitution's supremacy clause and Supreme Court precedent, with the judge finding that the law discriminated against the GEO Group based on its status as a federal contractor and imposed a unique regulatory burden on a single facility performing federal work.
Q&A ID 7b213b61-ae31-48e9-b51e-cf8c769a51e5
Who is the current Democratic Governor of Colorado that signed HB 26-1276 on June 4?

The left wing riots against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) occurring outside Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey is not about compassion, it is not about due process, and it is not about the Constitution. It is about whether the American people are permitted to get the immigration policy they voted for, or whether a mob of rioters, aided by sanctuary politicians and cheered on by the professional left, can veto the result of a national election in the streets. President Trump campaigned on deporting illegal aliens. He did not whisper it. He did not hide it in the fine print. He made it one of the central promises of his campaign. The American people heard him clearly, voted accordingly, and gave him a mandate to restore the rule…Open
