It’s sickening to see the government gloat about immigration raids that tear families apart, in yet another racist appeal to the far right.

Thank you Lewisham Anti-raids for showing up, monitoring, reminding people of their rights, and making sure that no-one was taken.

Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations. Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here.” “She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said. Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.

also thinking about the political and public health context that allows for protest mask bans to be pushed through with little noise, compared to the last mass changes to protest law in 2022

it’s really disappointing how much worse public health seems to have gotten since covid restrictions stopped, when there was so much promise at the time (had we had more competent governance driven by public health over what’s more beneficial for big business etc)

while I really wish more people would wear masks as an immunocompromised person in the midst of a massive flu wave, it’s also not enough to simply say more people should be wearing masks from an institutional perspective - it’s much harder to get masks in the uk now, people dont know where to go

UK police forces lobbied to use biased facial recognition technology Exclusive: System more likely to suggest incorrect matches for images of women and Black people

UK police forces knew they were using biased facial recognition technology for the last year.

This is because forces were unhappy that the more accurate version produced fewer potential suspects.

THE EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS (ECHR) PROTECTS THE RIGHTS OF OVER 700 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS 46 MEMBER STATES OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE. STARMER WANTS TO WITHHOLD RIGHTS FROM PEOPLE SEEKING ASYLUM.

"THE CURRENT ASYLUM FRAMEWORK WAS CREATED FOR ANOTHER ERA. IN A WORLD WITH MASS MOBILITY, YESTERDAY'S ANSWERS DO NOT WORK" CLAIM THE DANISH AND BRITISH PMS. THE RIGHT TO STAY SAFE AND SEEK ASYLUM HAS SAVED MILLIONS OF LIVES SINCE WORLD WAR II.

BRITAIN IS THE SIXTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD. IT HAS A FALLING BIRTH RATE. LAST YEAR 110,000 PEOPLE CLAIMED ASYLUM IN THE UK. THAT'S 170 PER PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCY PER YEAR. UNDERMINING THE ECHR TO ATTACK REFUGEE RIGHTS DOESN'T HALT THE FAR-RIGHT, IT LEGITIMISES & ACCELERATES THE RISE OF THE FAR-RIGHT.

Keir Starmer is urging other European countries to “go further” in undermining or as he claims ‘modernising the interpretation’ of the European convention on human rights (ECHR) to prevent people seeking asylum from using it to remain in a country. In the 6th largest economy in the world .. [1/n]

Very exhausted but very worthwhile - have been between Manchester and Belfast this week at The World Transformed and at Stormont, presenting research I’ve been doing on immigration raids at the latter

And that is if you take that sentiment at face value and not the underlying one, which is that the only migrants that many of those anti-migrants have a problem with are migrants whose skin colour just happens to be more melanated.
