Would prefer to be positive this beautiful morning, but let’s just pause to observe what sad, resentful little men these people are, and how much they hate this country, and how much they hate having their arses handed to them

The EU adopted a list of countries it deems "safe enough" to send people back to. Now, everyone born in such a country – like Tunisia or Egypt – faces even more difficulty getting asylum in #FortressEurope. This is against 🇪🇺's own rules on safe countries 👉 https://shorturl.at/QmqzD

Strike the Iron: ICE Is Weaker Than Ever Tom Homan declared Metro Surge over. The movement won the battle. But ICE hasn't left — it's adapting. Here’s how we use the momentum and win the war.

We all need to study what works and see how we CN contribute!

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

The Trump regime has relentlessly prosecuted protesters, government critics, & immigrants accusing them of physically attacking officers or interfering with their duties.

Many of those cases have recently been dismissed or ended in not guilty verdicts. The costs for defendants have been enormous.

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending *** As of the end of January, there have been no convictions."

In The Fight Against ICE, Kids Are On The Front Lines - PopularResistance.Org On Saturday, January 31, my partner, Kyle, and our 14-year-old, Zinnia, joined a union-organized rally dubbed ​“Labor Against ICE” in Portland. Packed with union members and local groups, as well as families, children and elders, there were thousands of people and all the markings of a ​“peaceful protest.” After speeches from city councilmembers, immigration lawyers and community members, the rally then formed into a march to the ICE facility several blocks away. Within minutes, they were tear-gassed by federal agents. That night, I was at an event in Seattle, reading the messages pouring in.

Black graphic with a quote attributed to Juana Rodriguez, ACLU client challenging an unlawful immigration raid in Wilder, Idaho: "My toddler was forced to witness an incredible amount of violence against people he loves and hear racial slurs about Latinos, experiences that no child should ever be exposed to. I'll never forget hearing his little voice pleading with me to give him food and water for hours on end."

As a proud U.S. citizen, Juana never thought she'd be zip-tied and detained by ICE for hours with her 3-year-old son, especially while attending a family-friendly event.

They’re two of hundreds of people we’re defending in court for being targeted in an unlawful militarized immigration raid.
