Trump administration appears to be pausing plans to ramp up Guantanamo transfers
It comes after POLITICO reported Tuesday that the administration was vetting at least 9,000 migrants for transfer to the base.

A Florida sheriff warned protesters in a press conference on Thursday that "we will kill you, graveyard dead" if they throw weapons or point a gun at officers.

Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey made the remark at an event with local law enforcement that declared Florida as "The Anti-Riot State."

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously

But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state

Keep that same energy of support for her

β€œICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said thisπŸ‘‡πŸΎ

MAN AT CHURCH: β€œWe don’t want this in our property.”

ICE: β€œThe whole country is our property.”

No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

The charges against Prof. Willoughby-Herard were finally dropped yesterday. She courageously defended UCI students against police stifling dissent against Israel's genocide in Gaza. I am inspired by her courage and honored to have represented her in this case. Solidarity with those who fight.

I want to report some good news from LA:

ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

These 75 Democrats joined Republicans to "express gratitude" to ICE agents and call for greater local and state collaboration with ICE.

In the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, "people of all races and backgrounds are putting their bodies on the line to protect their friends, their neighbors, their family members from these arrests," says @jeanguerre.bsky.social. "It is a beautiful thing to see."

β€œTrump is using military forces to stop a protest β€” I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.”

Protests across the country are a sign of weakness. Attempting to turn the military against the American people 6 months into your term is a sign of weakness. Don’t believe the anti-anti-Trump people in both parties who have always been in awe of Trump. They’re still wrong.

what i see is a white house whose ambitions outstrip its resources, who did not count on facing mass resistance, and which is scrambling to escalate the situation in hopes that a display of force will make people shut up

The protests & slowdowns & leaks & refusals to comply & boycotts & strikes & antifascist art & gumming up the works & sanctuary projects & all the other stuff that we’ve got to run all at once have to feel like that too.

Break their hold bit by bit.

Here, there, & over here too, until - whoosh.

I’m extremely proud of our piece, and hope you’ll take a read. In particular, the stories of people in Altadena and Pasadena were both tragic and uplifting to hear.

Gigantic thank you to @melbuer.bsky.social and @jwhendricks.bsky.social for being an incredible team.

Yet if the movement is leaderless and anarchic, it isn't chaotic. It has guiding principles that allow participants to self- regulate even as the movement constantly reinvents itself. Among those principles is ("do not split"). Protesters use the expression to say that no one in the movement should condemn or obstruct the actions of fellow protesters they disagree with. People who oppose a given action should sit it out, but not try to prevent it.

The use of force, in particular, is a divisive issue. Some insist on the necessity of keeping the protests peaceful, so that they will seem morally legitimate and may gain sympathy from the broader public. Others β€” especially younger protesters or protesters who consider that the lengthy sit-ins of the Umbrella Movement failed β€” believe that some measure of force has become necessary; otherwise, the government will simply ignore them.

The β€œdo not split” idea acts as a bridge between these two factions by promoting mutual respect for diverging views within the protest movement.

the hong kong protestors used the phrase "do not split" to mean that the radical protest and peaceful protest arms of the movement should refuse to criticize each other.

Military style ICE raids in our communities. David Huerta was beaten and dragged away.

Because he saw them and stood up for justice. Because he’s not afraid.

Neither are we.

✊ From coast to coast, we’re rallying to demand the release of David Huerta. A champion for workers and immigrants.

Enough is enough. We will not be silenced. We will not back down.
