Elsewhere in the interview, Dr Maynard claimed Israeli soldiers are shooting civilians at aid points "almost like a game of target practice".

The IDF said it "categorically rejected" claims of "intentional harm to civilians, particularly in the manner described".

Dr Maynard claimed he has operated on boys as young as 11 who had been "shot at food distribution points" run by the US and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

"They had gone to get food for their starving families and they were shot," he said.

"I operated on one 12-year-old boy who died on the operating table because his injuries were so severe."

A British surgeon returned from Gaza says Israeli soldiers were shooting at aid-seekers β€œalmost like a game of target practice".

He also said formula doctors had packed to bring with them was the only item confiscated by Israeli authorities before entry.

Formula.

post from me:

political cartoon idea: two people in a concentration camp planning an escape. one says to the other, β€œbut if we kill the guards, don’t we become just as bad as them?”

reply:

You can escape without killing guards.

Every single story you are hearing from the Everglades Concentration Camp has been and is already taking place in hundreds of prisons and jails in the U.S. That's what PIC abolitionists have been trying to get the public to understand for decades.

It’s almost like Americans were never fundamentally, inevitably β€œanti-immigration” and Democrats never had to just put their hands up and meekly chase Republicans (and lose), and affirm all their anti-immigrant positions that helped get us here at all!

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will β€œown them” and be responsible for them.

Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborerβ€”or we could just let them say it.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.

Those motherfuckers want to privatize nearly the entirety of the the cascade wild lands. The green β€œfor sale” areas in Oregon includes the majority of the Hood, Willamette, Umpqua and Deschutes National Forests. These are some of the most beautiful, rugged and wild areas left in the western US.

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

ICE abducted Moises Sotelo today. He is a trusted vineyard management business owner from Newburg, Oregon, who has been in the US since 1994. He has a wife, three children, and five grandchildren who need him to be returned safely to them.

So in late May, Stephen Miller, a top White House aide and the architect of the president's immigration agenda, addressed a meeting at the headquarters of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE.
The message was clear: The president, who promised to deport millions of immigrants living in the country illegally, wasn't pleased. The agency had better step it up.
Gang members and violent criminals, what Trump called the "worst of the worst," weren't the sole target of deportations. Federal agents needed to
"just go out there and arrest illegal aliens," Miller told top ICE officials, who had come from across the U.S., according to people familiar with the meeting.
Agents didn't need to develop target lists of immigrants suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, a longstanding practice, Miller said. Instead, he directed them to target Home Depot, where day laborers typically gather for hire, or 7-Eleven convenience stores. Miller bet that he and a handful of agents could go out on the streets of Washington, D.C., and arrest 30 people right away.
"Who here thinks they can do it?" Miller said, asking for a show of hands.

If you were wondering why the volume is so much louder, it was because of this.

Miller told every ICE Field Office Director to stop following normal procedures. Stop worrying about targeted arrests and β€œjust go out there and arrest illegal aliens.” Those were his exact orders; and ICE followed.

Ferreira de Oliveira, who is 40 years old, was still at their nearby home when she received a phone call from one of her daughters, who said ICE had pulled them over and were threatening to arrest Clara. 

Ferreira de Oliveira’s frightened daughter told her mother that she needed to leave the home now and come meet them on the street, because ICE was telling them that if they arrested Clara, they weren’t allowed to leave the baby in the hands of a minor. So, the feds insisted, grandma needed to rush over to take custody of the baby.

Shortly after Ferreira de Oliveira arrived on the scene, ICE took her into custody. The agents suddenly no longer seemed interested in the 21-year-old daughter. ICE did not arrest her or her 17-year-old sibling.

ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE.

The blog post doesn’t answer the biggest questions the community has. As a Curator, it’s disheartening to see what feels like a lack of transparency from the iNat team about this. I hope that you will share more information quickly to address the concerns of the iNat community.
