DHS caught in another lie. They said the man "approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun." New video, shows he's...holding a mobile device (screenshot below). Police have said the man was a legal permit holder, and has no prior criminal record other than vehicle tickets.

I know this horrific event is still unfolding, but it seems that federal agents beat a man who was a lawful gun owner, took his gun, and then shot him multiple times after disarming him?

A Tragic Homecoming For Man Killed By ICE Agents In Franklin Park After nearly two decades in Chicago, Silverio Villegas González returned to Michoacán in a coffin. His death at the hands of federal agents left two families divided by borders, shattered with grief, ...

In September, federal immigration agents shot and killed Villegas González in Chicago.

Emotional vigil held for man killed by off-duty ICE agent on New Year's Eve Sunday evening, a crowd of about 50 gathered at the Village Pointe apartment complex in Northridge to grieve Keith Porter Jr., who was fatally shot on New Year's Eve by an off-duty ICE agent.

Federal immigration agents have now shot and killed multiple people since Trump took office a year ago. Today alone marks the second deadly ICE shooting IN A WEEK. An off-duty shot and killed a 43-year-old father in CA on Dec. 31.

Raleigh activists are claiming a rare victory against a subsidiary of Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems. They say Logos Technologies' offices appear to be emptied out after facing protests. The Raleigh location is also no longer listed on the company's website. Read more @prismreports.org

This is the wild part about the whole Trump experience, even when he says politically disastrous things, reporters rush in to fill in the blanks and steelman his arguments. As soon as they cut away from him saying “we’ll run it,” they cut to someone saying “obviously he didn't mean that.”

The most heart breaking part is this kind of "journalism" high up editor logic is NOT unique to Weiss. I wish you could've heard what I heard when my work was killed, silenced, suppressed and silenced (or at best, just criticized).

It's eerily familiar. In some ways identical.

A Canadian Company Is Supplying Armoured Cars to ICE | The Tyee The Canadian government should consider companies’ complicity in US human rights violations when sourcing contracts.

As #ICE ramps up its harassment of U.S. communities while implementing President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda, Canadian armoured vehicle manufacturer Roshel has also been stepping up its lobbying efforts to get Canadian federal government contracts.

I am so upset.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

Haitians consistently call for NGOs and them to leave, and tell people not to donate to those NGOs

Most of the aid that goes to Haiti, goes to foreign corporations and the US military not to Haitians

Almost 9 months ago, our press colleague Anas Al-Sharif removed his press vest following the announcement of a ceasefire.

Attorney Says Video Betrays DHS Account of Border Patrol Shooting in Chicago An agent shot a woman after federal officers accused her of driving toward them in the Brighton Park neighborhood.

An account given in court by the attorney of a woman who was shot by a Border Patrol agent “really makes it sounds like” the agent “tried to murder an anti-ICE protester in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him,” said one researcher.

Israel’s “Safe Zones” in Gaza Offer No Safety. Many Can’t Afford to Flee Anyway. Displacement costs, which many call “the fees you pay to become homeless in the south,” have reached nearly $5,000.

In Gaza, another humanitarian crisis has emerged: the soaring displacement expenses — or, as many people in Gaza bitterly describe it, “The fees you pay to become homeless in the south.” Tents cost $1,000 and securing a patch of land to pitch it on can be almost as costly.

How Israel stole childhood in Gaza Some children don't even recognize simple luxuries like fruit, while others play pretend by reenacting funerals

Funerals, death, & martyrdom have replaced cartoons, playgrounds, & birthday parties as the themes of their play. Ahmad Abushawish details how Israel stole childhood in Gaza.
