Wednesday, 18 February, 2026
Join our FREE three day activation series and learn how to turn your energy and outrage into action: https://gaialeadershipproject.com/activation-challenge Overview: In this episode, Elizabeth leads with a heartbreaking and enraging story out of the Dilley detention facility: the deportation of gravely ill two-month-old Juan Nicholas and his family after the case began drawing public attention. She explains what Joaquin Castro witnessed, why the medical conditions inside Dilley are catastrophic, and how DHS responded—not with care, but with removal and abandonment across the border with virtually no resources. From there, Elizabeth breaks down the political fight over DHS funding and why "reforms" like body cameras and unmasking are not meaningful constraints on ICE and CBP violence. She also covers growing corruption inside DHS, including the resignation of spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin amid allegations involving a contractor tied to her husband. Finally, Elizabeth pivots to a critical midterm message: how elections actually work at the precinct level, why mass election tampering is extraordinarily difficult, and why fear-driven misinformation about "stolen elections" does the regime's work for them. The episode closes with tangible good news—court victories against ICE and a major step forward in state-level Epstein accountability. Episode Highlights: The deportation of severely ill infant Juan Nicholas and the conditions inside the Dilley detention facility Joaquin Castro's involvement, what was reported from the hospital transfer, and why DHS chose deportation over care DHS funding negotiations and why "body cameras" and "unmasking" proposals don't stop state violence Tricia McLaughlin's resignation as DHS spokesperson and the emerging contractor/corruption story behind it DHS threats to "unmask" anti-ICE social media accounts—and why surveillance is already the baseline Major court win: order preventing ICE from re-detaining Kilmar Abrego Garcia New Mexico's truth commission to investigate Epstein's New Mexico ranch and state-level accountability models Virginia's Law: what it is, what it could change for civil statutes of limitations, and what it won't do Colbert/CBS censorship controversy and how the Tallarico interview workaround backfired on the regime A precinct-by-precinct reality check on election security: paper trails, bipartisan election judges, sealed processes, and why "the election will be stolen" narratives are dangerous Why intimidation tactics are logistically limited—and how fear campaigns are designed to suppress participation And don't forget to support the show by becoming a paid subscriber at patreon.com/resistancelive.
