One of the three journalists killed in the Israeli airstrike on a clearly marked humanitarian vehicle in central Gaza early Wednesday was Abed Shaat, a veteran freelance cameraman who worked closely with CBS News for years and regularly filed footage from Gaza, CBS News said on Wednesday ➤ Shaat, 30, has recently married, and was remembered by CBS colleagues as a brave, highly skilled journalist working under extreme conditions. He had also contributed to AFP, though he was not on assignment at the time. ➤ The two other journalists killed were Mohammed Salah Qashta and Anas Ghneim. ➤ The Israeli military said in a statement that its troops "identified several suspects who operated a drone affiliated with Hamas in the central Gaza Strip, in a manner that posed a threat to their safety," and then "struck the suspects who activated the drone." ➤ As Drop Site News reported earlier, the journalists were embedded with the Egyptian Relief Committee and were filming humanitarian aid distribution when they were struck. Israeli forces routinely justify killings by claiming an unspecified “threat” without presenting evidence, a pattern Gaza authorities say has accompanied the killing of 483 Palestinians since the ceasefire 100 days ago, more than 96 percent of them struck inside residential areas far from the so-called “Yellow Line.”

The fundamental problem here is not one of bad apples. This is what the agency is designed to do. The barrel is bad to start with.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

This is why calling them weird creeps was so effective, not just to damage the leadership psychologically, but to make it extremely socially embarrassing to be a known supporter of them in the general public. The point is to make society at large view them as they are, not the force they wish to be.

🚨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.
By Douglas MacMillan When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced the Jan. 3 death of detainee Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp, the agency said “staff observed him in distress,” and it gave no cause of death. An employee of El Paso County’s Office of the Medical Examiner told Lunas Campos’s daughter this week that, subject to results of a toxicology report, the office is likely to classify the death as a homicide, according to a recording of the conversation. In the recording, which the daughter shared with The Washington Post, the employee said a doctor there “is listing the preliminary cause of death as asphyxia due to neck and chest compression,” which means Lunas Campos did not get enough oxygen because of pressure on his neck and chest. Pending the results of a toxicology report, the staffer said on the recording, “our doctor is believing that we’re going to be listing the manner of death as homicide.” In an interview with The Post, Santos Jesus Flores, a man who says he was detained in the segregation unit the day Lunas Campos died, said he saw at least five guards struggling with Lunas Campos after he refused to enter the segregation unit, complaining that he didn’t have his medications. Flores said he saw guards choking Lunas Campos and heard Lunas Campos repeatedly saying, “No puedo respirar” — Spanish for “I can’t breathe.” Medical staff tried to resuscitate him for an hour, after which they took his body away, Flores said. “He said, ‘I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe.’ After that, we don’t hear his voice anymore and that’s it,” said Flores, who had contacted a family member of Lunas Campos, who in turn put him in touch with a Post reporter. The Post confirmed Flores was in Camp East Montana through ICE’s detainee locator.

Under pressure to meet the goal of 3,000 daily arrests, ICE is on a hiring spree, offering candidates signing bonuses and planning a $100 million “wartime recruitment” effort. This includes geo-targeted ads and influencers targeting 2A supporters and UFC fans to bring in 10,000 new hires.

ICE officers tell media that the conduct in Minneapolis is part of a plan by Stephen Miller to provoke as much violence and death as possible—which in turn will be taken as pretext for more. “They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment and doing very dangerous things”
Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design"
"What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

yes, part of the reason ICE/CBP has their phones out to record is scanning for facial recognition etc, AND as has been pointed out a few times, it’s for content & your tax dollars are helping pay for editing these into nazi videos

marketing fascism as an aesthetic
news ICE is spending $8 million on deals with "pro-ICE influencers" to push its propaganda online. According to an internal document obtained by he Washington Post, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is carving out $8 million from its $100 million one-year "wartime recruitment strategy" on deals with "pro-ICE influencers." The document calls for spending at least $8 million on deals with online influencers whose followers are largely Gen Z and millennials and who were in the "military families," "fitness" and "tactical/lifestyle enthusiast communities." Officials will focus on "former agents, veterans and pro-ICE creators" who will be expected to "host live streams, attend events, and post short- and long-form videos and other content to Facebook, Instagram, Rumble, X and YouTube." Blogs, Substack newsletters and Threads accounts would also be targeted for more "niche communities," per the document. The objective, according to the document, is to "build trust" through "authentic peer-to-peer messaging" and to "normalize and humanize careers at ICE through storytelling and lived experiences." The document says it expects that more than 5,000 applicants will come through the influencer program, costing ICE about $1,500 per application.

70% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

🟢 NEW | ICE has quietly bought access to a powerful surveillance system that can monitor entire neighborhoods by sweeping up cellphone location data and tracking people’s movements over time, according to documents obtained by 404 Media. The system, built by Penlink, consists of two tools called Webloc and Tangles. Webloc lets agents draw virtual perimeters around blocks or cities, identify phones present, and trace where devices travel over time, including likely homes and workplaces — all without a warrant. Tangles adds social media monitoring, including tracking and analysis of online activity. Civil liberties groups warn the system enables mass dragnet surveillance to help ICE’s deportation crackdown. ICE argues commercially sourced data is exempt from warrant requirements, a claim critics say exploits legal loopholes and poses serious risks to privacy, free speech, and immigrant communities.
