Watching the way the Trump administration is using criminalization as a weapon ought to make clear how criminalization works even in normal times.

U.S. Border Patrol is holding a recruiting fair at the "Tough Mudder" race in Big Bear this coming Saturday, Sept 6. I know this is well outside of SD County, but I know many of you might be ready to make that trip! www.mobilize.us/bigbearcommu...

Erez Reuveni, who was suspended from DOJ after telling a judge there were no good answers re: the botched deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, has left the department.

Tennessee highway patrol has ganged up with ICE to terrorize highly-immigrant neighborhoods in Nashville for a week straight, detaining almost 100 people, less than a month after TN immigrants and allies organized to oppose a bill to keep undocumented kids out of schools. I doubt it's a coincidence.

Wow. Judge Chuang blocks the rescission of the Biden-era sensitive location policies as applied to any of the churches and religious orgs that brought the lawsuit, finding that the change in policy imposes a substantial burden on religious rights that isn’t sufficiently justified by the government.

As Scot Nakagawa says, the challenge before us is not to speak truth to power, but to speak truth to the people. "The powerful refuse to be accountable to the truth, and in fact this lack of accountability is part of their strategy for seizing and maintaining power."

Not to detract in any way from the appalling situation occurring now, but the San Vicente camp has been around for a number of years. Here’s a photo of Mayorkas in Panama in 2022 looking at a model of it after getting a tour. It’s the main processing station after migrants leave the Darién Gap.

I am going to CRY
The return of family detention is unconscionable. Family detention centers have a documented history of negligence and abuse, like inadequate medical & mental health care, unhealthy weight loss among children and threats to separate families if children misbehave.

When speaking to experts in Latin America, I've been told that the use of military planes by the United States could be seen as an insult. And now it seems they were right; Mexico's president just refused to accept a deportation flight for the first time in years.
