"...police are simply prompted to enter text into a 'reason' field in the Flock Safety system. Usually this is only a few words–or even just one.

In these cases, that word was often just 'protest.'"

I'm gonna need every single person admonishing us to participate in ICE watch & document "non-violently" to read this by a definitely NOT radical org

"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has said that revealing the identities of agents and videotaping them on operations constitutes “violence”
The Trump administration openly says that it will use its domestic spying capabilities to target people who oppose ICE’s actions. And ICE has been bulking up on the latest surveillance technology.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

The federal government shot Marimar Martinez in Brighton Park, charged her with federal crimes, and just weeks later is dismissing the case. This follows several dropped prosecutions against protesters. To say the immigration raids have been all around mess is an understatement

Disability experts!

Does this resemble any dignified method you know of for carrying a person who uses a wheelchair? Because it doesn’t resemble at all what we learned in flight attendant training and looks really uncomfortable.

These are ICE-contracted guards lifting a migrant in ICE custody.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?

Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.
The feds are escalating in Los Angeles. We've seen record high kidnappings and our communities are under attack. The media focus on LA has died down so electeds don't feel the need to even feign opposition.

People are out here fighting. We need all of us. Join the struggle. Defend your neighbors.

We already have the shower trailer. We just need a truck to haul it so we can bring free showers and dignity to people in NJ.
