Hundreds Previously Detained By ICE Could Be Released By Judge Under New Order The order could allow hundreds of immigrants to return home while the court reviews whether their arrests were unlawful.

“A federal judge is planning to release on bond hundreds of people who have been detained by federal immigration agents in Chicago since June.”

I also wonder how many were deported so quickly they never had a chance to fight it.

ICIRR posted this video on their IG of a man and a baby struggling after they’ve both been pepper sprayed by federal agents.

Sen. @padilla.senate.gov: “Democrats are fighting to make health care more affordable and hold this corrupt and lawless administration accountable.

“We can’t end this fight now. I will be voting no.”

Robert Reich Socialism Fear-mongering is Bananas | Robert Reich

With Zohran Mamdani's inspiring victory, Republicans are yet again fearmongering about "socialism."

But conservatives always yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.

It's nothing more than an old scare tactic. https://youtu.be/xq02yuY4wDQ?si=akvbkf8GSClBEHLt

Unions in higher ed can coordinate rapid response trainings with longstanding immigration advocacy groups to respond to ICE assaults on our communities & campuses.

Aaron Krall of UIC United Faculty discusses this & more in our recent AAUP TV episode.

Important reminder that no trend is predetermined to continue either way

Dems made gains this year with diverse voters

Doesn’t mean it’s going to continue

But also doesn’t mean GOP 2024 gains will continue either

Every election is unique

I hope Mike Johnson is visited by three ghosts soon.

City of immigrants throughout the country feel this energy. And hope it resonates throughout.

The shutdown is fun for Trump because he gets to throw lavish Gatsby-themed parties for his millionaire friends AND invent new and innovative ways to hurt poor people.

Trump Voters Are Souring on MAGA. The Polls Ain't Looking Good!

Latinos who went for Trump reflect a majority that is now openly rejecting the MAGA agenda, paving the way for Democrats to finally abandon the broligarchy & embrace economic populism

The Tyranny of the Low-Quality Job For decades, a job has been seen as the key to escaping poverty. A major new study turns the question on its head: What if hardship is the result of employment, as opposed to the absence of it?

Policymakers are stuck in a 1960s view of economic hardship, where poverty (and program eligibility) comes from lack of employment. We have 70 years of evidence: bad jobs with unpredictable schedules and variable earnings are a larger source of hardship.

Trump Considers Overhaul of Refugee System That Would Favor White People

Trump's supporters say we call his policies "racist" too casually.

But let me tell the story of a new policy - about to be unveiled - that is racist on its face.

1/ A short thread on Trump's reported new "whites only" refugee policy. It's truly vile.

Catholic coalition holds nationwide prayer vigils at ICE offices A coalition of Catholic organizations held prayer vigils across the country on Oct. 22 for what organizers called "a national day of public witness for our immigrant brothers and sisters."

"Both as Catholics and also as U.S. citizens, we have a responsibility to bear witness to injustices that we see," faith members outside outside ICE HQ: www.ncronline.org/news/migrati...

Federal agents detain Little Village high school student, deploy tear gas in faceoff with protesters Feds wearing military-style camouflage gear and gas masks were seen tear-gassing and pepper-spraying protesters during the confrontation near a discount mall.

"Agents detained at least two teenage boys, two women and a man before putting them into vans and driving off. A woman told a Chicago Sun-Times reporter that she was a U.S. citizen before she was put into a van."

"At least one of the teens detained is a student at Benito Juarez Community Academy"

The president should not be able to transfer millions of taxpayer dollars into his personal bank account. No government officials should be able to steal from the public like that.

Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

A friend of mine was detained briefly by ICE yesterday.

While in custody he noticed the agents texting on group text labeled “Chiraq 2.0”

This is who we’re dealing with.

An astonishingly large crowd!

US Caribbean boat bombing campaign keeps getting worse.

Colombia says US killed Colombian fishermen in Colombian waters. Add international incident to illegal, unethical, and bad strategy.

This isn’t national security, it’s murder.

Who’s selecting these targets? Is this why Adm. Holsey resigned?
