In another EXCLUSIVE 1-on-1 conversation, independent journalist Dissent in Bloom joins Indie. She details harrowing findings on Trump’s immigration crackdown, including inhumane conditions at "Alligator Auschwitz" - where detainees face 24/7 lighting & stifling heat, they’re required to be silent all the time & have no access to legal counsel.
She talks about ICE’s collaboration with police in deadly raids like the one resulting in Jaime Alanis’s death during a paramilitary-style operation on a California farm, which led to zero prosecutions. The conversation also uncovers election integrity threats: Jack Cobb’s uncertified lab (Pro V&V) rubber-stamped voting machines while the EAC retroactively covered for the lapses.
Dissent ties dark money influencers like Leonard Leo ($1.6B) and Peter Thiel to Project 2025’s authoritarian blueprint. Key revelations include:
103 immigration judges fired by Trump, creating backlogs.
Facial recognition/biometric databases funded in the Big Beautiful Bill passed July 4.
Palantir’s role in immigrant-tracking systems.
Private prisons (e.g., GeoGroup) profit from $175/day detainees.
