What It's Really Like: A First-Hand Account of the Portland ICE Facility Occupation
In Portland, members of the community have been standing up to ICE for most of Trump's second term so far.
"They laugh, gesture, taunt, and treat suffering like entertainment. They do not see the people out there as neighbors. They do not see themselves reflected in this community. They see an enemy. Meanwhile, the nightmares of this community now include their faces."

The Instant Smear Campaign Against Border Patrol Shooting Victim Alex Pretti
Within minutes of the shooting, the Trump administration and right-wing influencers began disparaging the man shot by a federal immigration officer on Saturday in Minneapolis.
Then, on January 24, history repeated itself far too quickly: Alex Pretti was shot and killed by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis.
What followed was an instant smear campaign against Pretti. Weโve seen this before. www.wired.com/story/the-in...

How Eric Adams Has Backed a Secretive NYPD Unit Ridden With Abuses
After NYPD officials warned about a unitโs aggressive policing, the mayor boosted the team led by his allies. โThe unit effectively reported directly to City Hall,โ a former police official said.
As mayor, Eric Adams embraced a secretive, abuse-ridden police unit called the Community Response Team.
One of the unit's leaders, Kaz Daughtry, once pointed a gun at a motorcyclist and threatened to kill him.
He's now joining Trump's DHS, @nytimes.com reports.
