1/ DEVELOPING: A journalist was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital following another incident with an ICE agent at 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration court in NYC. The last I heard, he was getting X-rays for his lower back.

"In this moment, the thing that will actually get us through this, is solidarity...It's up the federal workers that are actually in the building to do that, & that's what FUN is about. We make sure people know they are not alone." - FUN organizer Paul Osadebe. Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgsW...

🚨 BREAKING: HUD just fired 2 of the 4 civil rights attorneys who blew the whistle on illegal discrimination, political interference & the dismantling of fair housing protections.
This comes just one week after Sen. Warren called for an IG investigation. #ProtectWhistleblowers #FairHousing

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

Civil Rights Groups Announce Historic $100K Settlement for UMD SJP — Palestine Legal Today, civil rights groups Palestine Legal and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced a historic $100,000 settlement agreement for their clients, University of Maryland Students fo...

UMD forced to settle with SJP for $100k and readmit them as a student group in good standing after banning vigils, chalkings, etc. Probably the largest such settlement for a pro-Palestine org in the US.

Palestinians forced to starve or face death by Israeli troops at aid sites At least 23 people killed by Israeli troops while seeking aid as Gaza mothers have nothing to feed babies but water.

Slovenia becomes the first EU country to ban all arms trade with Israel, calling it a “duty” to respond to the denial of aid into Gaza and pledging further measures against Israel in the coming weeks.

When he reached the Israeli prison, U.S. human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back.

When his lawyer met with him, Chris was surrounded by six members of Israel’s special police unit. This level of force was not used against other abducted activists.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalitions condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced.
