The regime has a name for federal judges who rule against their deportation policies—“activist judges.” And there are a lot of them.
Last week, a federal judge in DC blocked the regime’s attempt to completely gut the deportation appeals process—with new rules that were set to take effect the next morning. They didn’t.
Juan Manuel Lopez-Campos is 46 years old—a Mexican father of five US citizen children with no criminal record. Police pulled him over for a routine traffic stop, detained him, and held him for nearly two months with no bond hearing.
He finally got in front of US District Judge Brandy McMillion—who freed him, ruling the regime’s detention policy “is not only wrong but also fundamentally unfair.” Her language has now been influential in cases across the country and contributed to releases and bond hearings.
A federal judge said immigrants have won 350 of 362 decided habeas cases—legal challenges claiming unlawful imprisonment—in 50 courts before 160 different judges. The regime calls them activists. I call them guardrails. And they’re holding strong.

The courts are saying no—so are the people. Oakwood, Georgia, is a city of around 7,000 people in Hall County, where 71% of voters went for Trump in 2024. It was never supposed to push back.
But in late February, the regime paid $68 million for a warehouse there—without talking to local officials, no impact study, no review. They learned about it from news coverage. The planned facility would hold up to 1,600 people and eliminate $771,000 in annual property tax revenue.
On Monday of last week, Oakwood’s residents packed the meeting room where the City Council voted unanimously to demand the regime halt all construction. The crowd gave them a standing ovation for it.
Ari Mathé is a local attorney with children who go to school and take dance lessons within a mile of the warehouse. At the council meeting, she laid it out plainly for the regime: “Chaos was the point and bullying these small towns they didn’t think would stand up to them. They were wrong.”

Oakwood isn’t alone. Thousands of miles away, the Seattle area slammed the door on the regime.
On March 3, the King County Council passed an emergency one-year moratorium blocking new or expanded detention facilities in all unincorporated areas in the county.
Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda introduced the measure and put enforcement teeth on it from the start. “If there was an attempt to violate this moratorium, we would make sure that code enforcement officers are deployed,” she said. Civil penalties, liens on property, and other measures—everything is on the table.
The regime built a machine designed to move faster than anyone could stop it. King County went ahead and put a wrench in their gears.
Seattle moved a week later, with the City Council voting unanimously to pass its own one-year moratorium. And Commissioner for the Port of Seattle, Toshiko Hasegawa, issued an order prohibiting port properties from being used for detention or other immigration enforcement activities. “The Port of Seattle exists to connect people and goods—not to separate families or facilitate deportation,” she said.
Councilmember Alexis Rinck said: “We cannot make it clear enough. We do not want this in Seattle, we do not want this in our county, we do not want this in our ports ... We want ICE out of our communities.”
Seattle. King County. The Port. They locked it down.

Ron DeSantis built his Florida State Immigration Enforcement Council to be the frontline of Trump’s deportation machine. It included eight handpicked sheriffs and police chiefs.
Last year, council chair Grady Judd—Polk County Sheriff and one of DeSantis’ closest law enforcement allies—stood before the group urging Trump to sign more executive orders to speed up deportations.
On Monday, Judd sat in the same room and said the opposite. ICE isn’t targeting criminals, he stated. It’s removing people who “are healthy and can work.”
“They have kids in college, are in school, they’re going to church on Sunday, they’re not violating the law, and they’re living the American dream,” he told council members. “Those are the folks we need in this country that we embrace, because we are a country of immigrants.”
Charlotte County Sheriff Bill Prummel said the regime cast “too wide of a net,” and that Congress needs to “get off their butts and they need to fix it.” At least six of the eight members expressed similar concerns.
Even the regime’s own enforcers are admitting the machine is targeting the wrong people. That’s not resistance spin, that’s the truth. And we’re here to make sure it doesn’t get buried.
Every day, we help steer the resistance. On top of our reporting, we drive the largest social media campaign against Trump ever—and our community has made 662,000 contacts to Congress.

I have two questions for you today.
What do you think of Ron DeSantis’ handpicked council calling out the regime’s deportation machine?
Thoughts on Seattle blocking ICE?
🚨THREE URGENT ACTIONS TODAY
🚨Vote NO on SAVE Act: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-vote-no-on-the-save-act-to-protect-our-democracy/
🚨 Trump's UNHINGED DHS pick—Markwayne Mullin—hiss confirmation hearing tentatively set for this week. Tell your Senators BLOCK him! https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-your-senators-oppose-markwayne-mullin-for-dhs-secretary/
🚨 Tell your Reps to impeach Pam Bondi: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-impeach-attorney-general-pam-bondi/
A FEW OF MANY COMMENTS:
Got to love the way communities are standing up to DHS and not allowing warehouses converted into concentration camps in their backyards. At least most folk understand history and will not succumb to fascist authoritarian rule.
Part of it may be the history, but what small community can endure the impacts?
ICE GESTAPO sneak into small communities, buy property with NO PUBLIC DISCLOSURE! A SNEAK ATTACK with no consideration of the REALITY OF THE IMPACTS!
These warehouses will not only reduce property taxes, but how much water will they consume? how much sewage will be produced? ELECTRICITY? Traffic? Parking?
We know ICE GESTAPO shuns providing medical care, but are there hospital facilities nearby?
What community wants to HOST ICE GESTAPO with its long history of ABUSE, NEGLECT and UNEXPLAINED DEATHS?
I wish more states, cities, towns, etc. wrote laws banning ICE.
It took the sheriff's this long to figure out the deportations are wrong? Well, better late than never.
Someone posted a picture on Instagram of Trump, Noem, Bondi, Hegseth and Patel all in orange with handcuffs. There's the dream and it will happen.
FLORIDA REPUBLICANS previously outlawed immigrants, including those married to AMERICANS and witnessed a flood of emigration - WORKERS!
Many abandoned property they owned.
One might think that SHERIFFS would have figured it out then.
CROPS rotted in the fields because there were no 'illegal' immigrants to pick them.
FLORIDA is filled with WEALTHY RETIREES...who thinks they're going to do the heavy lifting of house construction or lawn care?
WHAT TOOK THOSE SHERIFFS SO LONG TO WAKE UP?
When Trump loses Florida Sheriffs on deportations, you know he is in trouble.
Thats for sure! I was surprised, but happy to see Sheriff Judd speak out on the reality that deportations have primarily affected non-criminal working people who contribute to Florida's economy.
From what I've seen over the years, Judd and many other Central Florida sheriffs are far from liberal, but they still see it's wrong to arrest, detain & deport innocent people.
Not everyone is insane. Most people were raised right, are empathetic, and believe in the American dream. That the people currently in power are insane is due to their own machinations, and it’s up to the rest of us to remove them. Quickly!!! We’re running out of time!!!
It's been a long time coming, and its not like warning wasn't given, but it's encouraging to see red state Florida sheriffs standing up for the people they are supposed to serve and protect, citizens or not! So many law enforcement agencies are violating their missions by supporting the evil trump regime agenda. Seattle rocks! As does every municipality putting some teeth into their anti-ICE legislation. Let's go‼️
So proud of Seattle and all the areas laying out rules for no deportation centers in their midst!!!
DeSantis needs to Listen. He's Destroying America, the Everglades, Panther Habitat, and Florida for the Working Class
the fault of the MAGA who elected him
It’s always inspiring to read about “red” voters who are finally pushing back – not to mention the courts and the “blue” masses. Thank the gods that so many voices are now shouting out for Resistance!
Thank you, Scott, for more good news….👏 😊 💙💙💙
I agree - it is nice to see MAGA voters, people who supported Trump, get a reality check
But Trump supporters need to know beyond any doubt that THIS IS THEIR FAULT - THEY DID THIS TO OUR COUNTRY - lost your job - your fault - can't afford coffee or groceries - your fault - ICE Terrorism happening in your patch - YOUR FAULT MAGA - our country is in sixteen different kinds of crisis and it is the fault of the people who put Trump in the White House DESPITE being warned - they knew better than the jurors who convicted Trump of 34 felony counts of fraud and sexual assault - MAGA loved the hate & the disrespect - but hate & disrespect & power tripping are not grounds on which to build a strong or stable country
Proud to live in King County Washington, where my council member Teresa Mosqueda holds Strong, on behalf of immigrants, citizens and non-citizens alike. “…We cannot make it clear enough. We do not want this in Seattle, we do not want this in our county, we do not want this in our ports ... We want ICE out of our communities”
Why don't. you call these "detainment centers" what they are: concentration camps.
💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE! PLEASE RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES AND READ THE NAMES OUT LOUD! PLEASE!
Blocking ICE Detention Structures is a great move and an important move. I would NOT want to live near a concentration camp & no matter where they are installed, these detention centers must be reviewed for health and safety concerns & not be permitted to open until they are compliant
State Governors need to step up - ICE must be controlled and contained - no more roaming the streets and attacking / harming or killing civilians
ICE arriving in a state must report to State Nat'l Guard or Militia, pose for maskless photos and produce i.d. and verifiable Judicial Warrants for CRIMINALS - then they can execute proper warrants & leave the state again - no warrants - no maskless photos - no i.d. no entry to the state
IF ICE enter the state without conforming to these protocols they need to be arrested
IT IS BEYOND TIME TO RESPOND TO ICE ACCORDINGLY
Due process is not an intellectual construct it is a right in America & ICE cannot be permitted to skate around it
There are some things that HAUNT and this is one of them...OJEDA is running for CONGRESS in NORTH CAROLINA:
This week we learned that an Afghan interpreter named Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, who spent years working alongside American Special Forces in Afghanistan, was taken by ICE without explanation and within 24 hours he was dead in a Dallas hospital. Let me say this:
→ The only reason I survived Afghanistan and came home to my family is because of my interpreters.
→ On one of my tours in Afghanistan, we operated 500 miles from the nearest American base with a small team — No air support, and nobody coming if things went sideways.
→ One day in a remote village, our interpreter Mohammed felt something was wrong and told us to get out of there quick.
→ Five minutes after we cleared out, 65 Taliban fighters showed up looking for us.
We later learned that Taliban leadership had personally identified me as a kidnapping target because of how isolated we were. That’s why this news has my blood boiling, because this man saved the lives of our service men and women, came to America looking to build a better life, only to be snatched up by Trump’s ICE thugs and left to die in ICE custody. I want to go to Congress to stop the reign of terror by Pete Hegseth and Donald, but I can’t do that without your support today.
Sappers clear the way, Airborne all the way!
Maj. Richard Ojeda (Ret.)
Candidate for Congress, NC-09
My comments:
TRUMP HAS ABANDONED AFGHANS!
AMERICANS SURVIVED BECAUSE AFGHAN INTERPRETERS RISKED THEIR LIVES TO
WORK WITH AMERICANS AND PROTECT THEIR LIVES...MOHAMMAD NAZEER
PAKTIAWAL WAS A HERO!
AN INDEPENDENT AUTOPSIS NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED TO DETERMINE THE
CAUSE OF DEATH OF MOHAMMAD NAZEER PAKTIAWAL!
WE KNOW THAT ICE GESTAPO LIES AND WE CAN'T TRUST THEM!
THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY UNEXPLAINED DEATHS IN ICE GESTAPO CUSTODY!
