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

STONEZONE (Roger Stone) - NEWARK’S WAR ON LAW AND ORDER

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.

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

AXIOS (Avery Lotz) - Delaney Hall becomes Markwayne Mullin's first test as DHS head

A private detention center in New Jersey has again become a major flashpoint in the fight over the Trump administration's immigration policies. Why it matters: It's the first major clash under Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin 's leadership.

Since then, it's been the scene of high-profile protests , arrests, escapes and a December 2025 death . - Democratic lawmakers and New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) have called for the detention center to be shut down. The…

AXIOS (Brittany Gibson) - The contracting mess Noem's leaving behind at DHS

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is on track to leave dozens of pending contracts on her desk when she leaves office in three weeks, the legacy of a system she imposed to cut "waste, fraud and abuse," but that has stalled DHS programs. Why it matters: The backlog of contracts has left vendors waiting for payments and delayed projects such as President Trump 's push for mass deportations and the border wall, along with disaster relief under FEMA, Axios has learned. - "There's a mountain of backed-up contracts and invoices on her desk that the new guy will just have to deal with," a source familiar with the situation at DHS told Axios. - The backlog existed long before the partial government shutdown over DHS immigration policies…
