Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

I wonder whether rare disease organizations will start speaking up. Some disability orgs definitely have. www.wfaa.com/article/news...

F.B.I. Agent Who Tried to Investigate ICE Officer in Shooting Resigns

Breaking NYT:

The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

Every time I see this stuff, I cannot help but think a lot of this is the "own the libs" attitude cops have been stewing in ever since there was a hint of a suggestion that they should not kill people.

This is such an important point. This family tried to follow the rules.

The distinction is going to get more important when they start mass deporting the people whose TPS status Trump revoked. They’ll call them “illegal” too, even though they were here legally until Trump yanked the rug.

also almost equally striking (in its own way), every shop in the skyway mall was closed. lights out, doors shuttered.

US Judge Rules ICE Raids Require Judicial Warrants, Contradicting Secret ICE Memo The ruling in federal court in Minnesota lands as Immigration and Customs Enforcement faces scrutiny over an internal memo claiming judge-signed warrants aren’t needed to enter homes without consent.

NEW: A federal court ruling in Minnesota, which notes ICE agents broke the Fourth Amendment by entering a family's home sans warrant, lands as ICE faces scrutiny over a secret memo claiming their agents can enter homes w/ administrative paperwork alone.

Wrong Penguin.

“We have a nice little database, & now you’re considered domestic terrorists” says an ICE agent after photographing a civilian who was videotaping them. Posted today by Brian Allen on X. h/t @allenanalysis.bsky.social

So a little kid was treated slightly worse than Kyle Rittenhouse, good to know.

Mary Richards would definitely say that.

Years later Miss Tyler Moore became a Bill O’Reilly fan. “You’re the only one who tells the truth!”
Ed Asner said “I don’t know what happened to our Mary.”

It kept going and going and going -- the skyway bridges were also chock full of people, holding up signs.

There were several images like this, just the hat. Symbolizing the stolen child. The mournful eyes of the puppy hat creature already look like they are welling with tears. Incredibly powerful.

everyone i've talked to, on different sides of the city is matter of factly calling it this.

there's the uprising, and now the occupation.

“In the late ’80s and ’90s and early 2000s, when I was in the FBI, we referenced ‘far-right militants’ as ‘anti-government militants,’” German said. “Sometime around the first Trump administration, I came to believe that was not an accurate description; they were Trump supporters. They clearly presented a pro-police, pro-state viewpoint.”

Thank you Mike German for seeing it as clearly as I do. When I wrote my book, I was very plain that these groups were not "anti-government" because law enforcement had moved so far to the right.

This is such an important point. That 5-year-old and his dad should never been detained in the first place! That's because they were already in the system and going through the legal process to seek asylum — and their arrest was seemingly just to juice ICE's numbers.

Oh like when they killed teenagers for throwing rocks? Experts huh.

Agents detain and send 2-year-old girl and her father to Texas despite court order to release toddler Attorneys for the family say they were asylum-seekers who were pulled over without a warrant and did not have a final order for removal.

ICE keeps abducting babies.

This is bad not just because of the direct infections but there's growing research that suggests vaccines also stave off things (like dementia) that we don't typically associate with vaccine prevention.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 1-23-26 Rep Alma Hernandez released the following statement today after ICE agents conducted a stop & arrest near an elementary school near her home in South Tucson. “This morning, ICE conducted enforcement actions across the street from my home. I am in communication with the passenger who was not arrested but watched her three family members be taken. All of this happened in front of an elementary school while children were outside playing. This kind of recklessness is unacceptable. My neighbors called me to alert me of what was taking place. The passenger told me they were on their way to her doctor's appointment. Her husband was driving & noticed a car was tailgating them. He did not know why or who it was, ICE turned on the lights & when they pulled over, they asked why and were told that they were just conducting a 'routine operation’ & that they simply were just 'checking.' This family was not breaking any law. In fact this family is currently in their asylum process as they are from Venezuela they all had proper documentation to show they are legally here while their case is being processed & her husband the driver has already been granted asylum. ICE was made aware of this & still took them. This puts families, children, & entire neighborhoods like mine at risk, & demonstrates a blatant disregard for public safety. These actions do not make our communities safer. They terrorize neighborhoods, tear families apart & undermine public trust especially when carried out by masked agents operating with no transparency or accountability. What happened today is exactly why so many people in Tucson are living in fear: Fear of detention, deportation, & criminalization simply for existing. I stand in full solidarity with our Tucson community, particularly our immigrant neighbors who are being targeted, profiled, & dehumanized. Despite repeated claims by elected officials that only 'dangerous criminals' are being targeted, that is not the reality

Statement from Rep. Alma Hernandez saying that ICE took a family who are currently in the asylum process from her neighborhood in South Tucson this morning. Rep. Hernandez says this also occurred in front of an elementary school as children were outside.

You're gonna make it after all!

A picture of the Mary Tyler Moore statue in downtown Minneapolis, depicting the iconic moment from the show where she throws her hat in the air. But the hat has been covered over with a protesters cardboard sign, reading “FUCK ICE.”

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

it's cool that so many people in positions of power and influence were so negatively polarized by "wokeness" that they convinced themselves that there was an actual debate about who wanted to erase history and the "wokes" were on the wrong side bsky.app/profile/arch...

ICE spokesperson Marcos Charles: "My officers stayed with the child. They cared for him. Took him to get something to eat from a drive-thru restaurant and spent hours ensuring he was taken care of. Again, my officers did that, not his father ... his family refused to open the door and take him back"

Arrests calmly ongoing.

This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.
