How long will Detainees Stay at the Florida Swamp Concentration Camp? A Day? A Week? A month? A simple question, one that a younger Donald Trump could easily handle or deflect. Not anymore. Following a tour of the deplorable U. S. Concentration Camp in Ochopee, Florida, a Fox Propaganda (not a news network) reporter asked Trump that question. His response is more proof, on exhibit every day, that Trump is spiraling down into dementia.

Since March 19, more than 200 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees have been held at the Phelps County Jail in Rolla, Missouri. Some are there for only one day, while others have been detained for more than two months. With no possessions and limited contact with family or legal help, many face an uncertain future. A group of about 50 local activists is stepping up, helping detainees reach their loved ones and offering small but meaningful acts of comfort and kindness. We talk about the work of Abide in Love with STLPR editors Jonathan Ahl and Brian Munoz.

KITM AV department intern David Waldman hopes to get a break from all of his breaks soon, but there's always something... ICE is SAD! Wherever the ICE men goeth, tragedy strikes… them. Beating immigrants while cosplaying as ISIS hasn't captured the hearts of Americans like they hoped. Detainees start whining after only days of being held without charges, some even skip out without even a “thank you”. The constant bruising of ICE agent knees on Hispanic testicles has become an almost untenable occupational hazard. And now, elected officials are almost everywhere, clogging the treads of the boots of justice, as if voters elected them to do things like that! Can't people see their guns? Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom fights tyranny with guerrilla trolling. We should be so glad that Trump's two weeks never finish. When Trump says, “two weeks”, he means “never”. When he says, “90 days”, he means “forever”. The day that Donald has truly been waiting for, is that day he won't be expected to give an update.

To justify mass deportations, President Trump has invoked an old wartime law: the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.   The Alien Enemies Act was last used after America's entry into World War II. In response to the Axis countries' detainment of Americans who were deemed potential spies, the Roosevelt Administration came up with an elaborate plan: find and arrest Germans, Japanese and Italians living in Latin America and detain them in camps in the U.S.  The government would use them to exchange for American prisoners of war.Liked this story?

What if you could be taken from your home, imprisoned without a trial, with no hope of getting out or seeing your family again, and labeled a criminal? This isn't a dystopian novel. It's Kilmar Abrego Garcia's reality. In this episode (part 2 of 2), Justin Yentes is joined again by attorney Doug Passon and former gang member Angel Garcia to discuss this case. They uncover how due process is being systematically dismantled in America under the weight of fear, political agendas, and gang labels. This conversation goes far beyond one man's story, it's a warning about what happens when we allow fear to override justice, and how quietly constitutional protections can disappear.Key Topics:Immigrants, legal and illegal, are protected under our Constitution.Firsthand stories of fear, isolation, and dehumanization behind bars.Fear, racism, and "Great Replacement" conspiracies fuel attacks on civil liberties.Detainees in El Salvador are forced to work in brutal, unpaid conditions.When laws are broken for one group, no one's rights are secure.This episode is a wake-up call. If we let fear-driven policies unravel our commitment to due process, we lose what makes our democracy worth defending. Hear the firsthand stories, connect the dots, and understand why this fight is about all of us, not just immigrants.

The for-profit prison company GEO is doing very well financially. It runs 16 facilities around the country including the ICE detention center in Tacoma, and its stock price doubled after Election Day.  With the number of ICE detainees now at a five-year high under President Donald Trump, how people are being treated and compensated for their labor is as much an issue as it ever was. The company was paying detainees a dollar a day to do cleaning and other jobs that it would otherwise have to pay contract workers at minimum wage to do. Washington state sued the company for not paying the state’s minimum wage, and won in federal court in 2021, a decision that was affirmed earlier this year by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The company petitioned last month for a rehearing of its appeal by all 9th Circuit judges. McKenzie Funk is following this story for ProPublica and joins us with the details.

*Trump proposes relocating Palestinians outside Gaza US President Donald Trump has proposed relocating Palestinians from Gaza to neighbouring countries like Egypt and Jordan, an unusual proposal that was opposed by the former administration of Joe Biden. Speaking to reporters ahead of his departure from Los Angeles for Miami, the president said he raised the matter during a telephone call with King Abdullah II of Jordan, and he might talk with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el Sisi on Sunday. The former Biden administration opposed relocating Gaza residents outside the enclave, advocating a return of Palestinians to their homes in the aftermath of a potential peace and a two-state solution. * Seventy Palestinian prisoners reach Cairo The head of the Palestinian Commission of Detainees' Affairs, Qadoura Fares, announced that 70 Palestinian prisoners exiled as part of a prisoner exchange deal in Gaza entered Egyptian territory. Fares told Anadolu news agency that all the prisoners are men with life sentences or long-term sentences, and travel documents are currently being prepared for them. He noted that "the prisoners will be accommodated in a Cairo hotel for a few days, where they will receive all necessary services, and a small ceremony will be organised to honour them before determining their final destinations". * Oil tanker explosion in Nigeria leaves several dead Several victims have been confirmed dead as tragedy struck in Nigeria again when a petrol tanker exploded, according to officials. Multiple sources said that widespread panic affected six other vehicles when the fuel-laden tanker fell while navigating down a hilly busy expressway in Enugu State. Witnesses who shared video of the scene added that no fewer than 15 people, including three children, have been confirmed dead. * North Korea test-fires first cruise missile since Trump's return North Korea conducted a test of a strategic cruise missile, state media KCNA reported. It is the first missile test by Pyongyang since the return of Donald Trump to the White House. The strategic cruise missiles flew 1,500 kilometres, hitting targets without affecting the safety of neighbouring countries. * Trump's 2020 election win could have averted 'Ukrainian crisis': Putin If Donald Trump had been reelected as US president in 2020, the Ukraine crisis that erupted in 2022 might not have occurred, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. In an interview with the Russian Rossiya 1 TV channel on Friday, Putin said that Russia remains open to peace talks on the Ukraine war. He said that Moscow has never rejected contact with the US administration but the previous one opted not to pursue such engagement.

In the early hours after Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad's fall, rumors flew of secret prison cells locked by fleeing guards, deprived of inside of food, water and even oxygen. Today, the Association of Detainees and the Missing say that the notorious Saydnaya prison is now empty, with the White Helmet rescuers confirming "no evidence of undiscovered secret cells or basements." But before that confirmation, fueled by fear and desperation, thousands of relatives went there in search of those who had been condemned to Assad's dungeons. Correspondent Clarissa Ward reports from Damascus.   Also on today's show: EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas; former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby; former Republican and Democratic Counsels to the Senate Judiciary Committee Gregg Nunziata and Noah Bookbinder  Learn more about your ad choices.

Hostage diplomacy is an ugly game. For decades America's adversaries have imprisoned US citizens in an effort to leverage diplomatic, economic or military advantage. These cases range from exaggerated charges, to disproportionate penalties, to outright lies. Each case is different. And each case affects both the lives of the incarcerated, their families and ultimately American power. Jose Pereira was held prisoner by the Venezuelan government for five years. He was the CEO of Citgo and after a Thanksgiving Day meeting in Caracas, he and five other Citgo executives were arrested and charged with bribery, corruption and other false charges. They became known as the Citgo 6. Jose joined Fran Racioppi to share the story of his captivity, his year long solitary detention in the Submarine, starvation, sickness, sham trials, and his time in a coma. Jose talks about his mental battles with depression and suicidal ideation.Like all great leaders, Jose sought solutions using the buckets his food was delivered in as a clandestine courier service to exchange letters with his wife. These letters kept him alive, gave him hope and now serve as the foundation to his new book “From Hero To Villain: My True Story of the Citgo 6.” Special thanks to Hostage US for supporting the families of American hostages and those wrongfully detained, as well hostages and detainees when they return home.HIGHLIGHTS0:00 Welcome Home3:39 Summoned to Venezuela7:51 Surviving the first 48 hours16:05 Bargaining chips for oil20:09 Smuggling letters in food23:58 The toll on the family28:07 Captive with Green Berets30:24 Prisoner Swap38:47 Hostage Diplomacy41:34 The challenges of coming home45:51 The role of Hostage US49:19 The healing process51:01 Daily Foundations to SuccessQUOTESFor us, Thanksgiving became kind of a nightmare.” “Nobody was prepared because this was a sham situation.”“They target high profile people because they need to leverage you.”“I stayed 10 months in total confinement.”“In those containers I found that you could put a double bottom.”“Your family is a hostage even worse than you.
