Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.

ICE Flight Monitor @iceflightmonitor.bsky.social · 5d
The small jet landed in Eswatini after fuel stops in Puerto Rico, Senegal, and Angola—likely the second removal flight to Eswatini carrying third-country nationals, after the first in July. Individuals on board were shackled for over 26 hours.

ICE abducts people and then immediately moves them around to prevent access to lawyers and habeas corpus petitions. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social has the story on this consistent game being played to frustrate due process.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

No warrants, no probable cause, detaining citizens. Zip tying children, using flash bangs, repelling through people’s windows and destroying their homes at night.

This Administration is lawless and abhorrent to our Constitution.

We are the frogs in the boiling pot.

Anyone who thinks this massive surveillance regime will be limited to immigration enforcement (and it’s bad enough that they’re using it for immigration enforcement) should try reading a little history sometime.
