ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.

"The documents also show that ICE is planning to once again use location data remotely harvested from peoples’ smartphones after previously saying it had stopped the practice." -- @josephcox.bsky.social for @404media.co:

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit.
1) Plaintiff is natural born.
2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants.
3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property.
4) He showed Real ID both times.

ICE's abduction of Narciso continues to negatively impact him. He can't work & he lives under constant fear of deportation.

Orgs like @chrclla.bsky.social provide as much support as we can, the costs of going without work + legal representation are piling up.

Please consider supporting him.

Narciso Barranco was the man I spoke to in the heinous Downtown LA basement where ICE continues to hold individuals in abusive conditions.

This powerful article describes his life in the U.S. - both before & after his abduction.

His story is both intensely personal & universal.

Reading June Jordan yesterday and this made me think of your post.

"It's on you, whoever you are... It's your responsibility to make yourself knowledgeable about where you are in this very complicated world right now, to the best of your knowledge and capacity to understand things. Then, to act."

N E WAYZ #AbolishICE and #ChingaLaMigra forever.

I havent complained about the music biz in a minute so lemme dust off my soap box real quick:

🗣️$60-100 for parking at a venue like The Hollywood Palladium in 2025 is complete, unabridled fucking greed! THE NERVE! LIVE NATION CAN SUCK A ROTTEN EGG & CHOKE ON IT. #ParkWhizAppForever

Each of the persons reflected on this chart of record high ICE imprisonment represents:

1. Disrupted lives;
2. Broken families;
3. A world of confusion, pain, & anxiety;
4. Human & monetary costs that we will be paying for across generations.

We need to keep pushing back against this.

i am sorry etsy witches i was unfamiliar with your game

Oh no, the people who were threatening to deport or murder me yesterday on social media are threatening to deport and murder me today.

Mariners’ 32-run 3-win streak sparks talk of fan’s ‘curse-lifting’ with an Etsy witch He said he never expected anything to come of it, but the Mariners went on to score 28 runs in just two days after his request.

Big week for Etsy witches

Absolutely horrific

BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California.

Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

Judge: Tear down Alligator Alcatraz within 60 days "This decision sends a clear message that environmental laws must be respected by leaders at the highest levels of our government."

NEW: A federal judge in Miami has ruled that operations at the controversial detention facility Alligator Alcatraz must begin to wind down, ordering state and federal officials to stop transferring detainees there and relocate current detainees within 60 days.

ICE has stopped reporting number of trans people in custody Advocates say the lack of data hampers efforts to ensure people’s safety as the Trump administration ramps up immigration detentions

ICE has stopped reporting number of transgender people in custody, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports. Advocates say the lack of data hampers efforts to ensure people’s safety as the Trump administration ramps up immigration detentions.

Phone Searches at the US Border Hit a Record High Customs and Border Protection agents searched nearly 15,000 devices from April through June of this year, a nearly 17 percent spike over the previous three-month high in 2022. "The real issue is the c...

The government claims broad authority to search our devices at airports and other border crossings, and the Trump administration has even reportedly used that power to search for posts critical of the president.

This has an unacceptable chilling effect on anyone traveling to or from the U.S.

This is what made the post-Floyd “no, still more policing” reactionary centrist punditry take so infuriating.

Everything Trump is doing now was already being done somewhere locally.

And the conventional wisdom’s absolute refusal to engage w it in 2020 helped normalize/solidify it all.

I used to work with Lisa when I volunteered with OC Justice Fund helping bond people out of immigration detention. Id always pick up the checks from her 🥹 She’s a badass attorney, rooted in love for our immigrant communities. I’m looking forward to seeing her unseat Young Kim! 🙌🏽

Hey local news lovers - LA’s hardest working journalist is going to be out of action while he heals up. Can we show @acatwithnews.bsky.social some love and financial support while he takes the time to recover without worrying about making ends meet ❤️

My gift to my friend’s cat has been well received

(A bloody catnip-filled knife bc what cat doesn’t want a bloody weapon full of cat drugs)

All of this corruption, and no one is giving me money OR chips.

Two victories for rights of immigrant children! After rejecting the federal government’s efforts to terminate the Flores Settlement last Friday, a federal court on Monday asserted that the government remains legally obligated to promptly process children & they be held in safe, sanitary conditions.

Brave, incarcerated immigrant children & families shared their heinous experiences with @chrclla.bsky.social & co-counsel, giving our team the necessary facts to successfully defend Flores & continue the fight to protect their rights & secure their liberty.

Proud of this win & the ones to come.

While our attention keeps getting pulled in so many directions, the US continues to coerce other countries into serving as sites for its ongoing renditions.

One way to track these disappearances is to stay on top of the data - big thanks to @humanrightsfirst.org for keeping this info flowing.

Judge rejects Trump administration's effort to end a court settlement protecting immigrant children The move comes as lawyers for immigrant families say children are being held for extended periods of time in Border Patrol stations.

"A federal judge in Los Angeles denied a motion from the Trump administration Friday to throw out a decades-old settlement that outlines protections for immigrant children in federal detention."
