  1. Our largest problem is Rachel's report will never be aired on Foxnews & other right wing media. The fact that this young women was stripped of her dignity and her rights for four days illegally & it's happening how many times a day over the last seven months?

  2. Saw your show last night. Of all the insanity with ICE going on this one shocked me to my core ... I came up off my chair and yelled, "What!"

    In full view, with deliberate intention ... Trump wants to terrorize anyone who isn't white.

  3. Innocent victims being detained by masked thugs, Concentration camps, called Alligator Alcatraz as if it is a joke. PROTEST every way you possibly can. Living in an Authoritarian state is only getting worse.

  4. Where are the churches organizing protests to stop the dictator, the masked men, and his cult? Where are the churches and the parishioners now? Where are the churches protesting the GOP members of Congress? Where are the churches???

  5. Thank you, Rachel, for saying it out loud. This is going to be an everyday occurrence for many, many more legal immigrants, and eventually native born citizens. They won't stop. We now live in an authoritarian society, and we better wake up and get ready to make sacrifices to win our democracy back.

  6. It's nice to see people demonstrating & politicians doing what little they can to stave off destruction. Maybe it's time for everyone to band together for a national strike. It's very popular in Europe & allows people to take control of the situation & have more power & influence on the situation.

  7. One down. Thousands to go. You’re whacking at the symptoms, not the causes. The people who do this don’t believe in God. They believe they are God.

    You’ve been very good at pulling out history. You just haven’t followed it far enough up river.

  8. 1 of 3: what about all those not your Parishioners... you know as the Jesus Bible commands: Matthew 25:36 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me:

  10. Given that current immigration policy was created by good Catholic boy Tom Homan, now of ICE, when he was working at Project 2025 with Opus Dei gang member Kevin Roberts, a zoom meeting with Tom, Kevin and US bishops might help US Catholics get on the same page.

  11. It’s shameful the way this has left the news and there are people on American soil being tortured, in camps, right now as we speak.

    Everyone’s looking towards 2026 while people being harassed, hauled off, disappeared, taken from their families, taken from this country or dying in ICE custody.

  12. This is so typical of how the ICE GESTAPO is out of control and making illegal kidnappings! These people have a high profile but how many others are being seized and sent to Louisiana with no way to contact them by family and attorneys! This must stop NOW!

  13. It’s about time the church stood up to this regime. It’s too damn bad they helped to usher these fascists in all because they wanted to harm gay people and control women.

  17. This is despicable! Rachel, they're turning Camp Atterbury into the new Midwest crematorium. She was an innocent student sacrificed to try and fill the mouth of Toothless Tom Homan.

    Speaking of Catholics: What would Sinead O'Connor do? How do we stop America from becoming one big Magdalene Laundry?

  18. Maybe if they prayed harder, they could have prayed both of them out. If they really put their minds together, they should ask God why he allowed them to be detained in the first place>

  21. Fortunately, Catholic bishops are being led by a brave pope.

    Priests used anti-abortion homilies in support of trump as he broke 9 commandments on a daily basis.

    Priests need to remember Fred Trump’s kk_ had Catholics just under African Americans, Jews, and immigrants on their hate list.

  22. But why should it stop at their own parishioners, what of all the other innocent victims of a lunatic, racist president and his secret police. Fight, fight, fight or you have achieved nothing. The world is watching.

  25. What about the majority of “detainees” who do NOT enjoy privileged connections to people with the power to successfully fight for their release? Those are the people I am most worried about.

  26. A really great show tonight, Rachel! And special kudos to that woman at the Nebraska town hall who said, "“How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the taxpayers have to pay for a fascist country?” What a moment. I hope it goes viral on social media.

  32. Why do we have to fight, yell and scream to get innocent people released from ice detention?

    What happens to the detainees who have no one to fight for them? Do they just disappear, are they just a body that funds the Ice concentration system?

    Our tax money is funding those private prisons. 😡

  33. This ENTIRE debacle was shameful & 100% harassment! ICE knew there wasn't a problem. It was done fir INTIMIDATION only. Just Homan, Miller & Tramp being evil bullies.

  35. You can explain to Americans what other talking heads won’t say out loud. Ghislaine Maxwell is the one person who knows everything about Donald Trump’s activities with Jeffrey Epstein. EVERYTHING. That’s why Todd Blanche visited. She knows everything. It’s obvious. Now say it out loud.

  36. How many don't have this access? It's a crime against humanity. You also stated that the tyrant has control of universities, law firms, most media outlets, and the judicial and legislative branches, making sure we are no longer a democracy but a full-blown authoritarian government. It took 6 months.

  40. ICE agents stand outside these courtrooms, WHERE PEOPLE ATE DOING THE RIGHT THING, and get to tick them off like carnival targets. Clearly they can come for any of us. Can you prove your status at all times? Should anyone have to, in a “free” country?

  42. These are but a few of the many people abused by trump’s immigration reign of terror. Very few are actual violent criminals. The majority simply want to work & raise their children in peace. Trump & his minions are the violent ones.

  43. This criminal behavior will not stop until the kidnappers are held responsible and suffer real consequences. The state should apprehend and arrest these thugs and their bosses.

  44. I'm very pleased to hear that she has been released. We shouldn't have to prove that these people are innocent. ICE needs to prove that they aren't before they detain them.

  46. So the archdiocese might want to think about the fact that some months ago, when the conclave was taking place, I watched on EWTN as a pundit from the heritage foundation was introduced to make comments… It’s never a good idea to try to mop up the water when you haven’t turned off the water faucet.

  47. Thanks so much for all you do, Rachel! You're a godsend these days. I have no doubt that she was freed quickly after you featured her plight at the start of your show.

  48. These people are here LEGALLY. Arresting folks who are in the immigration process legally is a betrayal of our American values. ICE should never be allowed in our court rooms for arresting purposes.

  49. Where’s the Catholic Church speaking out in force about the injustices happening?

    Crickets.

    They work to help one immigrant in a city of tens of millions of immigrants who are threatened and frightened.

    Meanwhile…everything that’s happening ????

    The Catholic Church? complicit

  51. The mere thought that people can be simply in a court and grabbed for no purpose, says anyone can be taken and can be in a general place. Will it be bus stops, hospital, bars, amusement parks? Nobody is safe by any chance.

  52. Rachel... Rachel... Rachel.... you seriously don't know what is happening to these young girls??? We are talking about men who were trafficking young girls out of their establishments. This started long before he became president but think of all those girls missing in his first tenure...

  59. Had they talked to her & asked her status, they would have known she is legally here. Proves what everyone is saying; they are grabbing ppl based on skin color. It has nothing to do with following the law. I hear there are "bounties" given to these thugs per person they jail.

  60. There was no reason to detain this young woman. She had a legal Visa. How many others are detained without her families resources and community support?

  61. Rachel — your opening monologue last night brought out my raised fist, my tears, anger, sadness.

    I am hesitant to say things like this, but you did something important last night.

    With your excellent writing, you articulated and summarized what we all feel and want to say.

    Keep it up and how!

  63. ANYONE with any contact with DOJ, DOS, USCIS, for any reason, is now at risk. Anyone who may be in possession of asylum, an N-400, N-600, a current Visa or apparently US citizenship is at risk of detention, deportment, incarceration, removal or physical harm. No one is 'safe'. There is no safe.

  64. Hate to be a cynic here, but you might want to do some prayer for the thousands of innocent people who are also being detained and/or deported by the Regime.

  65. All communities of faith or conscience need to come together and demand the abolition of ICE, and the prosecution of all their kidnappers and torturers.

    It's not enough for these despicable cowards to be punished in the next life, they must face consequences in this one as well. Jail, then Hell.

  66. Now let’s see the Catholic Church excommunicate all these fucking fascists. Tom Homan, JD Vance, Samuel Alito, and Clarence Thomas would be a great start.

  67. Rachel, Thank you for your repeated message that WE ARE HERE. My brilliant, hopeful & politically progressive 73-yr old sister has seen as much as I have but couldn’t bring herself to say we are living in a fascist nation. Your words do make a difference to her & to many others like her.

  69. I had my head in my hands at the conclusion of your opening block. An image of the 1950s "The Blob" and its devouring everybody in its path came to mind....but we don't have a heroic Steve McQueen to interrupt the rampage. So far...

  74. People just don’t seem reliable when they say, “our prayers have been answered”. They don’t understand that that would mean that their God that they pray to a allowed Trump to become president, ice to run rapid over America, kidnapping humans for days and weeks then letting them go free. Yay ur God!

  76. They are sending the message that we can grab any of you at any time, and if you aren't lucky enough to have people advocating for you, publicity, etc, you may get "lost" in the system. This young lady may have gotten out, but what about the ones who haven't? And future "detainees" (aka kidnapees).

  77. Catholics fighting for the good cause wasn't in my bingo card. if we can clean out the pedos. They're everywhere huh. That's the problem. That's why Epstein is more than trolling. Thank you for sharing this and I hope the church sees this would be an amazing opportunity to REALLY clean up.- catholic
