Inside the neighborhood patrols watching for Ice: ‘They thought they could scare us – but this is LA’ Volunteers with Union del Barrio look for immigration officers and post videos and alerts, warning people to seek shelter

“By arriving early at Terminal Island, the volunteers have a strong vantage point to alert their larger network about which vehicles are leaving the staging area – sending photos that show the make, model, color and plate number” enabling immigrant communities to be on the look out.

Here's over a hundred examples ranging from a thousand years ago to the 21st century, small scale or an entire society living in anarchy!

This is important to talk about, incl where it’s more about Jewish trauma & where it’s got an understandable basis (Protest chants of “burn down Tel Aviv!” have been heard, perhaps less unreasonably, as calls for the mass murder of Jews.)

Accountability must include safety for *all* civilians. +

On a very serious note, my dad Sam Weinstein is being persecuted by the UK government because of his pro-Palestine organizing. If you’re in the London area this week, please consider coming out to support him as he faces what is a brazen attack on Palestinians and civil rights.

The Antisemitism Post (tm) Gotta get the history to know where the tropes live in the discourse today.

WHOA. This is massive. Judge Xinis relies on her earlier order requiring ICE to "restore the status quo ante" for Mr. Abrego Garcia prior to his wrongful arrest and removal as justification to bar ICE from immediately re-detaining him should be released on bail.

DOJ is certain to appeal.

The Court also sets new precedent about how to interpret non-precedential shadow docket decisions, basically saying that they're kinda-sorta-precedent when judges are deciding to use their "equitable" powers.

UPDATE: At the start of today’s evidentiary hearing, Northumberland County DA Mike O’Donnell dropped the RICO charge against alleged mink liberators Celeste Legere & Cara Mitrano.

A defense omnibus motion argued that all charges against the Northumberland 2 lack the evidence needed to go to trial.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

The manager for the Downey Animal Care Center, urges people who are in a position to adopt to stop by to visit dogs like Canela, a five-year-old Belgian Malinois. A total of 18 animals have been turned in due to the deportations.

People who repeatedly spread bad and/or unconfirmed info about ICE raids are extremely problematic.

Creating reliable trust networks to share information about ICE doesn't involve terrorizing people with inaccurate intel.

If the people regularly doing it want to help: please, stop and reflect.

Attorney in #SanFrancisco explains how community mobilizations against ICE block deportations.

"When you ask what can you do, this is exactly what you can do. Organize...show up and scare ICE away. Actions like these literally save lives. Because of their action today, ICE didn't show up."
