Dems are preparing to demand that CBP "stay at the border" as one of their demands to avoid a government shutdown. Based on a multi-year FOIA campaign undertaken in collaboration with the ACLU of Michigan, here is what this means in practice: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
I also think this could be a symptom of the siege unfolding at all of the hotels known to house ICE and CBP in the Twin Cities. It wouldn’t surprise me if they are starting to evict/refuse to host them b/c they’ve become targets of protest, lobbies stormed and trashed, guests being tear-gassed, etc.
As many as 1500 detainees at the Dilley ICE camp have erupted in protest.
Lawyers were kicked out amid chants of: "Let us out! libertad!!"
Detainees say ~80% are rebelling, motivated by the news from Minneapolis, the general strike, and the imprisonment of little Liam.
O.R.G.A.N.I.Z.E. And fight.
Feeling helpless? Get involved. From all I'm seeing and hearing from our neighbors in MLPS, these resistance networks didn't spring up overnight; they were built, brick by brick, for years. The best time to get involved was yesterday; the second best time is today. We all have a place in the work
The ICE agent who shot Renee Good was a former Border Patrol agent. And today's murder was committed by a Border Patrol agent. This is violence and impunity that border communities have known all too well for years.
“The wind is rising and the rivers flowing, times are getting hard and we can’t go home again.”
-Huey P. Newton, 1970
We’re at this point because it was deemed acceptable for agents to roam “border areas” and have the authority to detain (and abuse and kill) non-U.S. citizens (and citizens) in “border areas.”
Democrats want to impeach Kristi Noem. That is the most milquetoast chickenshit nonresponse. The apple is rotten to the core, and so is the tree it sprouted from. DHS needs to be dismantled, and ICE and Border Patrol abolished.
Join me at University College Dublin on Thursday, November 20th for a talk on "CLR James, Irish Question, and Black Liberation Struggle." Note new day, time, location information.

Immigrant workers, agricultural, cafe and grocery, digital platform, arts and culture, and education workers in Ireland, Germany, England, and the US have been sharing their lives and struggles through workers’ inquiries. Join us in Dublin as we examine these recent inquires!
“We’ve observed the self-defeating character of these policies over and over and over again in Southern Arizona over the last 30 years,” Boyce said.
Plane is out of Ireland and on the way to Djibouti. Probably 6-7 hours from now (6:45 am eastern). *IF* it is a deportation also wondering if they would transfer people to a military plane flying in dark mode as last time to ultimate destination…
✈️👀Journey Air N588AT just landed at Djibouti at 1 PM Eastern and 8 PM local. Mission unknown and if a deportation it is unknown to where, and if it will be this plane, or if people will be transferred to a military plane operating in invisible dark mode like the one to South Sudan.

“We are concerned at the appearance of targeting publicly pro-union worker leaders,” said a union official about a raid in western New York.
Migrants sent to Libya will literally be sold into slavery and systematically tortured, starved and killed. This is so sickening and insane.
"‘Felt externalisation’ is a way to go beyond the policies, the visible, and spectacular and instead capture the everyday, the slow, granular, and felt experience of border externalisation, be it fear, collective trauma, environmental degradation, or the smell of death."

"Immigration is often seen as a wedge issue, but what these last months have laid bare is how our fight for immigrant justice is a fight for all of us."

On January 1, 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the United States, Canada, and Mexico came into effect - a significant moment in a continuing process of regional integration that has since expanded to include the Central America and Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR), as well as a renegotiated US-Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement. The year 1994 also marked the launch of the United States' first-ever coordinated nationwide Southwest Border Enforcement Strategy, titled "Prevention Through Deterrence" (PTD). The launch of PTD inaugurated the contemporary paradigm of border policing in the United States and a sustained increase in border security funding, personnel, technology, and infrastructure that, in the ensuing three decades, has expanded to encompass the US-Canada border, the US-Mexico border; the US interior; and the externalization of US border policing across Mexico and Central America. The goal of this chapter is to explore how the transnational migration flows this project of border policing and security integration aim to control can be understood to be enacting a kind of "shadow regionalism," a process unfold- ing "in parallel with the North American Free Trade Agreement" but that was "created by migrants themselves, through their own movements and exchanges across the border" (Lauby, 2011 n.p.). The chapter furthermore argues that rather than incidental - or even contradic- tory, as some have argued (Andreas, 1998; Fernández-Kelly and Massey 2007; American Immigration Council, 2008; Leuprecht and Hataley, 2023) - this process of shadow regional- ism should be understood as integral to the overall political economy of regional integration in North America.
