The Trump regime bet $1.074 billion you’d look away. You didn’t. They built a machine that the resistance is taking apart.

Join us as a paid subscriber today to help us turn Trump into a lame duck:
Kristi Noem — Mar. 3, 2026 Last week DHS blinked. They paused all new warehouse purchases and are now reviewing every contract Kristi Noem signed.
The regime’s plan was to pack 92,000 people into ICE prisons—converting warehouses in American neighborhoods to do it.
They bought the buildings without telling anyone or asking for permission. They assumed communities would comply. They were wrong.
GOP Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi broke with the regime when DHS came for his backyard. “We cannot suddenly flood Byhalia with an influx of up to 10,000 detainees,” he said. That prison was scrapped.
Across the country owners are refusing to sell—eight purchases have fallen through. The regime spent $1.074 billion on warehouses across eight states. We’re fighting like hell to make sure none of them ever open.
Protest in Romulus, Michigan — Feb. 23, 2026 The regime’s prison playbook was simple: buy quietly, announce fast, and dare anyone to stop them. But everywhere they tried it, the resistance was waiting.
In Romulus, Michigan, ICE bought a warehouse one mile from an elementary school—in a floodplain, with only six bathrooms planned for 500 detainees. They didn’t tell the city. Mayor Robert McCraight found out when the press called him. The city council voted unanimously to sue—and the next day Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed suit alongside them, seeking an emergency court order to block the prison entirely.
New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez — Apr. 2, 2026 In New Mexico, the regime ran into something it didn’t plan for—the Immigrant Safety Act, a new law banning municipalities from signing ICE detention contracts starting May 20.
Otero County has been financially dependent on prison contracts with the federal government for nearly two decades—lose the contract, lose the only way to pay its debt. So the county convened a 12-minute secret meeting to lock in a five-year deal before the law could stop them.
New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez took it to the state Supreme Court and called it out: “Otero County did not obtain the approval state law requires, and the agreement is invalid.” If the court rules for him, roughly 900 detainees move or go free.
When the regime couldn’t build new facilities, it tried to lock the doors on the ones it already had.
In Minneapolis, DHS barred clergy including Rev. Susie Hayward from entering the prison, forcing them to move their ministry across the street—on Ash Wednesday. So the church sued, and won. US District Judge Jerry Blackwell ordered DHS to immediately restore clergy access.
The regime locked the door. The church sued. The judge opened it.
No Kings St. Paul, MN — Mar. 28, 2026 This is what resistance looks like. Not just one moment. Not just one hero. It’s all of us. Together. Saying not here—not on our watch.
Every pastor who keeps coming back. Every attorney general who takes it to the Supreme Court. Every reader who shows up and helps spread the truth. Every bit of pressure matters. Everything adds up. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
The regime built a machine. We’re taking it apart—and we’re not stopping until we flip Congress, make Trump a lame duck, and hold everyone around him accountable. All because of moments like these—moments that felt small, but mattered more than anyone knew.

I have one question for you today.
Are you proud that the resistance has been shutting down Trump’s ICE prisons?
Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
🚨 TWO NEW CAMPAIGNS!
🚨 Defend voting rights! https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-push-back-on-trumps-attacks-on-our-voting-rights/
🚨 Stop Trump regime from deporting people with Temporary Protected Status https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-stop-trump-regime-from-deporting-people-with-temporary-protected-status/
ALSO, THIS!
🚨Vote NO on SAVE Act: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-vote-no-on-the-save-act-to-protect-our-democracy/
JUST A FEW OF MANY INFORMED COMMMENTS:
This is exactly what resistance looks like when it works.
Communities, local leaders, pastors, and people like me and you all said, “not here.” And now the regime’s $1 billion prison machine is sitting there in shambles.
That’s power. Keep the pressure on.
Great quote!! - I picked a more general one that I like to think encompasses “ALL that is trump-related” (😉):
“They built a machine that the resistance is taking apart.”
Let’s hope we can resist enough to stay afloat til midterms, so that our dismantling can also undo as many “long-term” trump changes as possible and most importantly, REPAIR the damage.
We’ll need to be vigilant, innovative and very smart (and wise) when we get some power back. Now: we block and resist but we must also PLAN the repairs, so we’re ready when this corruption peels away.
Very good point, Wis. For God's sake, we can't become anything like the Trump drunk with power fools.
Yes, resistance is an eternal struggle!
And we need to shut down the “for profit” prisons that are an abomination! And some Congress people have stock or some connection with them.
Glad there is resistance…only wish there was more of it in Congress!
Tony Fontain:
MAGA REPUBLICANS were elected to GENUFLECT and have behaved like BARBARIANS! COMPROMISE is a DIRTY WORD!
Notice how their RHETORIC is always what they have been told to say...
Little Mikey Johnson has NO OPINION until he's told what to say!
DEMOCRATS are always MESSY and have different opinions!
MAGA GOP held a public hearing, spoke first, then adjourned the meeting, shut off lights and mics, relegated DEMOCRATS to a basement room with no services that were brought in.
BRIAN TYLER COHEN wrote SHAMELESS that's worth reading or listening to.
The solution is NOT TERM LIMMITS! It's INFORMED VOTERS!
You can't limit your news sources to FOX NEWS = FAKE NEWS LIARS that LIED about the ELECTION for ratings and settled for $787.5 MILLION with DOMINION to avoid a TRIAL....
NEWSMAX settled with DOMINION for their ELECTION LIES for $67 MILLION.
There are still cases pending against RUDY GHOULiani and others for their ELECTION LIES.
Absolutely, we are proud of American citizens who are paying attention to the abuses of the Trump Regime and fighting back.
This regime did not factor in the power and conviction of the American people... Do they not know us??!! Immigrants have been the founders and backbone of this country - not to be placed in prison camps!!! The People United Will Never Be Defeated!!!! Let's keep going!!!
Love this energy
You always bring it ... Best crew Evaaaah as they say in Boston!!!!
So proud of everyone fighting this! It’s not for one big moment. This is building for the GIANT blue wave. And it’s so inspiring to watch. Thanks for the good news, Scott!
Happy Easter to Scott and all who celebrate. Thank you for your independent pursuit of the news to keep us informed of what is really going on in the Trump administration.
Absolutely! We the people need to do everything we can to save our democracy, NOW!
And please make plans NOW to boycott everything on May 1st! NO work, no school and absolutely NO shopping!
Thank you Scott for the great news and I am so happy that these ice facilities are being found out about and stopped from in their tracks before they can open. Let’s keep it up. Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
I hope the Democrats are keeping a close reckoning on how much of our money has been wasted on projects that has started and had to stop because they were either illegal or useless. That includes rebuilding the White House without anyone's permission, and trying to open all these immigrant prisons that are not part of our cultural needs. How can we spend so much on a war when we have wasted so much right here in this country and we are not looking after our own people properly. Come on Democrats, do your job. Elections are coming and the voting public needs to know the truth.
I have a problem with people who only tell Democrats to " do your job ! " Democrats did not elect Trump or the spines of foam in the maga republiscum congress! Always sounds like butthurt maga morons trying to blame democrats who are doing the best they can without a majority in congress!
And they better be prepared to bring the receipts in January when we retake the house
1) I am SO PROUD of everyone who is leading the resistance! People who are writing postcards and letters, protesters taking time out of their busy lives to march in solidarity, and the courageous lawyers and judges who are fighting the good fight deserve a big pat on the back. We can do this of we all stand together! 🇺🇸

If only Florida & Texas would stop Helping to Destroy America
Understood. Keep in mind, though, that 2 House seats in FL recently flipped blue as did the mayor's seat in Miami where a non-latino woman was elected in a heavily Latino voter population.
In Texas, James talarico has a good chance to take a U.S. Senate seat. As Scott writes, the people and the voters are rising against this regime.
Florida is doing its part. In Boca Raton 30,000 protesters (pop: 100,000) were out on the streets on NKday. A Democrat has won in Trumps back yard MirALago and a Democrat just won in Tampa, a Republican stronghold.
Ew yeah those two monsters! Bastions of everything we fight against
This is what real Americans do, we don't bow to a want -a -be dictator. 25th Amendment NOW!!!!!!
I am ecstatic that these detention centers are being stopped. Now let’s get them to close the ones that are operating and return detainees to their families and home. With a background check we can hold those with felony warrants or convictions and I bet we won’t need a warehouse!
These massive prisons were not going to be for migrants. They were going to be for dissidents in the end, I would be willing to bet everything I possess. It's not possible to impose minority theocratic rule on a country without imprisoning (or killing) people who disagree.
YES!
BOGUS PROPAGANDA at taxpayers' expense!
X criminals deported, QUOTA not met...arrest DARK SKINNED PEOPLE, arrest CHILDREN....
arrest TPS, arrest DACA, kidnap people on the streets, arrest AMERICAN CITIZENS, arrest or abandon AFGHAN HEROES who protected American soldiers, arrest military veterans who fought for the U.S. and are HEROES, MAGA ignoring PATHWAYS TO CITIZENSHIP and preventing CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES of those who know more than most U.S. citizens.....
RACISM, BIGOTRY, LIES, AMERICAN DISSENSION: criminalize protests and FREE SPEECH!
This is NOT AMERICA!
AMERICANS are wonderful people who build COMMUNITY regardless of color or national origin!
Let's continue to BUILD COMMUNITY!
WE know who we are!
