This is so so awful. He left four children (all Americans, not that it should matter) and a grieving wife (also an American, not that it should matter)

Barbara Gomes Marques is documentary filmmaker who risks imminent deportation to Brazil. Loud voices in the film community could be especially helpful right now.

During Hispanic Heritage Month, many Latino families live in fear of ICE raids.

Celebrations are canceled, concerts postponed, and everyday life — school, doctor's appointments, even going to the park—becomes a risk.

This also shows why it’s so important that this behavior is captured on video. Think about what might happen without cameras in their faces if they’re this brazen with cameras on them.

Bad Bunny’s World Tour Hops Over U.S., Cites ICE Fears The Puerto Rican rapper is among a number of artists being forced to skip U.S. concert dates due to the Trump administration’s destructive, chaotic immigration policy.

Bad Bunny’s world tour is skipping the U.S. – not out of hate, but out of fear that ICE could stalk his fans outside concerts.

And he's not alone.

As @tusk81.bsky.social highlights, more and more artists are canceling U.S. dates over Trump-era immigration chaos.

The governor of Utah prayed that the shooter may have been a foreigner. Why exactly? Well, I’m sure we all know. But to say this out loud? That’s heavy.

basically a generational cohort split here where certain younger people intuitively grasp the irony poisoned context, and if you aren't already up to speed, very hard to explain

We must condemn Charlie Kirk's murder, that goes without question. But we can't dismiss that much of the hatred coming from the right is targeted at migrants and sadly has a death toll. We also must not dismiss the political violence happening in American communities everyday.

In this latest discourse of political violence, I encourage us to not forget attacks like those in El Paso in 2019. That attack was entirely political and driven by dangerous narratives against immigrants that are more prevalent today. And El Paso is far from alone against similar attacks.

Holy shit…You can’t make this up: a plane is circling Soldier Field before the Bears home opener with a banner that reads—

“HEY ICE, MASKS ARE FOR CUCKS.”

Also the trolling is incredible for those that told us to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.

This is selfish ego-driven leadership that misreads the moment & demoralizes the base.

We have to keep calling these leaders out publicly & people have to jump in to primary them to force them affirmatively make their case on why they're the right people to lead us *now.*

How anyone can see this as anything other than post apocalyptic is beyond me. Just unfathomable that this is what it's come to.

Last week, Border Patrol agents massed outside of a @governor.ca.gov news conference. They wound up arresting Angel Rodrigo Minguela Palacios, a strawberry delivery driver with no criminal record and just there to drop off fruit to a tea room.

This is his story

NEW: We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

NBC News reported that Sen. John Kennedy's office put in a request for DHS to release the mother.

Earlier this month, Kennedy also voted to give ICE billions to turbocharge its chaotic and senseless arrests: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/the-big-ug...

It’s getting very ugly. Racial profiling, raiding churches, deporting religious leaders, sending troops to invade agriculture fields. These are just a few real-world examples of the vicious Trump/Miller mass deportation blitzkrieg destroying our economy, our communities & our democratic way of life.

This week, ICE illegally denied me entry into a processing facility in my district, and today, they released a statement saying I “[gave] the appearance of a political stunt intended to generate publicity rather than pursue genuine oversight.”

I have some thoughts.🧵

ICE To Immigrant Military Veterans and Family Members: Thank You For Your Sacrifices. Now Get Out “I am heartbroken,” U.S. military veteran Alejandro Barranco says about the brutal abduction and detention of his immigrant dad. “I love my parents. I love the community. I feel betrayed.”

“I feel betrayed,” said Marine veteran Alejandro Barranco after masked ICE agents assaulted and detained his father, Narciso, who was out working a landscaping job at a local IHOP.

Service means nothing under Miller’s deportation machine.

The Supreme Court clearly believes that lower courts will act to block the birthright citizenship EO through other means (including class actions) in the next 30 days, and therefore feels like it's okay partially staying these injunctions.

But man, they are playing with fire.

Our joy is a small act of resistance, but resistance nonetheless. I want to try and harness that, but struggling for avenues to do this. Would love to brainstorm if anyone has ideas. But damn, let's bring joy into this heavy, heavy work.
