MAGA and Trump are making everyone less safe
JUST a few Examples from the last few days in Trump Tyranny Tracker:
ICE detentions of non-criminal immigrants spike; about 8% have violent convictions, analysis of new data shows
What Happened: A CBS News analysis found that since Trump’s daily deportation target jumped to 3,000 in May, ICE arrests of immigrants with no criminal record have surged by over 250%. Nearly half of those currently detained have no convictions, and only 8% of all detainees have been convicted of violent crimes.
Why It Matters: Despite Trump’s claims to target “dangerous criminals,” the data shows mass detentions are sweeping up mostly non-criminal immigrants. It’s a system built for a propaganda show, not safety, fueled by Stephen Miller’s hardline agenda and enforced through fear.

US sees spate of arrests of civilians impersonating Ice officers
What Happened: Arrests of civilians impersonating ICE agents are spiking nationwide, from California to North Carolina. Recent cases involve armed suspects using fake DHS documents, threatening immigrants, and even committing sexual assault—enabled by Trump’s policy of sending masked, plainclothes federal agents to conduct raids and arrests in unmarked vehicles.
Why It Matters: When the state blurs the line between legal and illegal force, chaos follows. Trump’s secretive, masked deportation squads are making it easier for vigilantes and criminals to mimic law enforcement, putting immigrants and all of us at risk.

Two more Ice deaths put US on track for one of deadliest years in immigration detention
What Happened: Two more migrant deaths—of a 75-year-old Cuban and a Canadian man—bring the 2025 ICE detention death toll to 13, putting the U.S. on track for its deadliest year ever in immigration custody. The system is operating at 140% capacity, with over 56,000 detainees.
Why It Matters: Migrants are dying in overcrowded, unsafe facilities. This is systemic neglect and a human rights crisis unfolding in real time.

What Happened: Trump’s deportation surge is ensnaring U.S. military veterans and their families. ICE is arresting parents, children, and even wounded vets—like Jermaine Thomas, deported to Jamaica despite being stateless and born on a U.S. base, and Sae Joon Park, a Purple Heart recipient exiled for decades-old charges.
Why It Matters: Families who sacrificed for the U.S. are being ripped apart, deported, and detained in record numbers. Trump’s crusade is criminalizing service, rewriting who belongs in America—even if they fought for it.

What Happened: A new Lancet analysis projects that Trump’s gutting of USAID—slashing 83% of its programs—could lead to over 14 million deaths by 2030, including 4.5 million children under 5. Cuts have halted clinics, food distribution, and access to HIV, malaria, and TB treatment in 133 countries. Marco Rubio claimed the programs didn’t serve U.S. “core interests.”
Why It Matters: Trump’s abrupt dismantling of global aid will kill millions, destabilize regions, and cripple America’s moral standing. It’s a humanitarian catastrophe in the making.
