Please be wary of accounts telling you not to get legal support for your resistance or that lawyers are cops.
Radical lawyers do exist. And you need legal support MORE at times like this, not less.
THIS.
Please talk to a lawyer if you're doing activisms that might require talking to a lawyer.
and sure, absolutely check their political alignment too, but we're basically the only profession who can't be compelled to rat you out.
I keep seeing people asking why the police aren't arresting ICE or protecting people from ICE and I desperately need you to understand that the police aren't protecting you from ICE because protecting YOU is not and never has been their function and that's why we need to defund them.
NEW: About 100 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have descended on Minneapolis for Operation Metro Surge, a new phase of the Trump Administration’s crackdown on immigrants, this time targeting the city’s Somali population.

i’m doing one last push to get some more preorders. we’ve been stuck at 120. i’d like to hit 200 so we can get a good price point for everyone!!
“I do think that Maga is a fascist movement, I do think that the intent of the administration is to destroy opposition and protest and is to create an authoritarian system”
ICE is staging in a garage on Centre St & Howard in lower Manhattan ahead of what neighbors believe is a planned large-scale raid of Canal
Street this afternoon.
Estimated 20-25 agents inside, with more steadily joining, some taken by surprise and caught with their masks down.
The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.
Fuck Northwestern
287(g) agreements around the United States. Source: Immigrant Legal Resource Center. Red circles represent government units that signed onto this program during the second Trump administration.
State courts are starting to look more carefully at the legal framework of these agreements, since these detainments are effectively new arrests, which might exceed what state law enforcement is permitted to do by their legislatures.
The Trump administration has helped create “perverse” incentives for local governments to get into the “deportation business,” according to a report early this year by the Marshall Project. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/01/04/d...
The revenue bonanza for GEO Group and CoreCivic got turbocharged during the Biden administration, and the former president did not wind down the role of private prisons for immigration detentions, even as human rights abuses mounted.
ICE pays for detention facility beds on a “per diem” or daily arrangement, about $165 a day. The biggest major private prison vendors are CoreCivic and GEO Group. Despite huge rises in their stock prices (juiced by 'buybacks'), they are drifting lower.
The 287(g) program links local law enforcement agencies, even down to the level of college police departments, into ICE; It’s steadily been expanding. Across 40 states there are 1,189 Memorandums of Agreement.

Since May, the ICE 287(g) program has grown incrementally in Minnesota. Sherburne County joined the “Jail Enforcement Model” in October, and Mille Lacs County joined the “Task Force Model” in June.

The Feds Want to Make It Illegal to Even Possess an Anarchist Zine
Daniel “Des” Sanchez is facing charges & accused of transporting a box that contained “Antifa materials.” This is an escalation of a familiar tactic a la #StopCopCity. As we said then & are saying now - this is coming for all of us.

These are deeply evil men who are perjuring themselves so that a 70-year-old grandfather will die alone in federal prison for daring to stand up to their crimes.

"Uncommon phrases" by "anarchist extremists"? Count in thousands of people from my friends list, then.
Published in 2022, even under Biden they were doing this shit. Look at this stuff again if you didn't pay attention. These ideas are threats to power.
"Whatever happened to that Alito guy anyway?" 😅😅😂
Masked mercenaries are only able to kidnap people off our streets at random today because Democrats refused to defund ICE when they had the chance.
The same goes for the epidemic of police violence.
The movement against ICE should revitalize anti-police organizing.

This is an interesting ruling--Comey is out of the woods for the moment, but the Court is making it clear that the DOJ could re-indict him if they use a properly appointed U.S. Attorney (double jeopardy doesn't apply here as it was dismissed w/o prejudice)
