Did you know ICE puts Ohioans in jail who haven’t even been charged with crimes?

You guessed right. It's about money for the jailers, not what's best for our communities.

The people we're talking about are Ohioans who have cases in immigration court, or who are eligible for deportation — a civil matter. Said Lynn Tramonte, Executive Director of the Ohio Immigrant Alliance, "Incarceration is an extreme action. It's separation from your family, your job, your home. The loss of liberty. It's isolating; it makes people sick; and it's terrifying. If it seems patently inhumane to put people navigating a civil process in a criminal jail, that's because it is."

After Donald Trump began to pull together his cabinet and inner circle it became pretty clear that the overwhelming tie that bound the group together was its embrace of Israel and everything that it is doing. There were even jokes that the top cabinet officials had apparently been selected by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel himself to reflect the fact that the Jewish state would be calling the shots for Trump even more than they did with the spineless Joe Biden. The handover of power was confirmed for all to see when Trump invited Netanyahu to the White House, the first foreign head of state to be so sanctified. While in Washington, a grinning Netanyahu was beguiled to learn of a crazy scheme to either kill or throw all the remaining Palestinians out of what was once Palestine and turn the ruins of Gaza into a high-end beach resort. Since that time, Trump has assured a delighted Netanyahu that no Palestinians would be allowed to return to visit what was once the site of their homes and communities.
