AOC is US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) - May 8, 2026. Here’s the full 5-minutes on YouTube: We need to Abolish ICE. | Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (YouTube)

From the description: We need to abolish ICE. What does it cost our humanity to look the other way when women, children, and young men of promise are ripped off the street and disappeared? What does it cost us as a society to normalize looking the other way to such barbarism?

What is it costing us — as Human Beings and as a Society — to look the other way, when Women, and Children, and innocent People, and young Men of promise, are ripped off the street, and thrown into a van, and disappeared, and you never see them again?

There's what that costs them. But think about what it costs you, to look the other way.

What does it cost us, as a Society that starts to normalize looking the other way?

Then we start looking the other way, as Women bleed-out in parking lots in States that have banned abortion.

We start looking the other way, as VRA Districts start to get stripped out of our Congress.

We start looking the other way, as the Free Press becomes consumed and intimidated by the very Powers that they exist to check.

What does it cost us — and you, as a Human Being — to look the other way?

And so, there's the economic cost. Your healthcare is going up. Long-term care for our Parents and Grandparents are gonna skyrocket. It's gonna cost us. It's already costing us.

And then there’s, what does it cost our Soul? And that, you know, in a political context, People think that that's naive flowery talk. I don't think it is. Because what is all of this for, if it is not to live a dignified Life, in a Community and Country of integrity?

For clarification, yes, multiple US citizens were illegally zip tied and detained by ICE during the raid.

From the description:

Today is Monday, May 18th, Day 347, and these are your updates on the ICE siege, which, yes, is still ongoing.

Less than a week after ICE raided the homes of people associated with VCDefensa, the community watch group that’s been legally observing and warning their communities of ICE’s presence in the 805 area s, ICE is now heavily targeting those areas, beginning with Oxnard, and taking people from their vehicles.

The attack on VCDefensa comes days after the White House published Trump’s “Counterterrorism Strategy,” in which he includes “violent left-wing extremists, including anarchists and anti-fascists” as a threat to the U.S.

Trump declares that Americans who oppose his fascist administration will face a very fascist response, writing, “We Will Find You, and We Will Kill You.”

To do that, Trump is using Palantir’s advanced AI surveillance firm to gather data on all Americans, including the IRS, Health and Human Services, DHS, and other agencies, to centralize, compile, and create a mass database that can easily track people in the U.S., including its citizens.

Over the last 24 hours, we’ve learned via local activists and independent journalist Nick Valencia that approximately 20 detainees being held at the notorious Adelanto ICE Processing Center are on a hunger strike. In their press release, they reported already being in poor health and underfed due to staff neglect, and are demanding due process, bond reform, improved conditions, adequate medical and mental health care, decent food, accountability for deaths at the facility and the right to organize and communicate.

At least four people - Ismael Ayala-Uribe, Gabriel Garcia-Aviles, Alberto Gutierrez Reyes and Jose Guadalupe Ramos-Solano - have died while being held at this GEO Group-run detention camp in San Bernadino County, California since September, with multiple accusations of staff denying folks necessary medical care. Detainees have reported physical and sexual abuse, said they’ve been refused a change of clothes, underwear or towels, and advocates have reported inadequate access to clean food and water and other unsafe and unsanitary conditions. It’s been the subject of multiple federal investigations and civil rights lawsuits, and the California Attorney General’s office has found staffing has failed to keep up with the growing number of detainees.

Families of migrants held at Adelanto and advocates are holding a virtual press conference tomorrow, May 20th, at 10AM ET/7AM PT. We’re being asked to help get more coverage of this hunger strike and detainees’ demand for the center to be shut down. Let’s do our part!
