"What the White House has dubbed 'Operation Metro Surge' is definitely not just — or even primarily — an immigration enforcement operation. It is an occupation designed to punish and terrorize anyone who dares defy this incursion" (gift link)

What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs.
Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

The Zaprudering of Renee Good continues. It’s amazing, really—it’s as if the quality of the footage magically degrades each time it’s analyzed, in a sort of magical process of complicating something that was perfectly clear the first time around. Soon, satellite imagery, perhaps.
Newly available videos and existing footage synchronized and assessed by The New York Times provide a millisecond-by-millisecond look at the killing of Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. Watch our visual investigation.

ICE murdered a Cuban man at a concentration camp on American soil built and staffed using our tax dollars
🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.
