"What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places — and there are so many — where people have behaved magnificently, it energizes us to act, and raises at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."

I wanted to post this resource for reporting #ICE agents & incidents
They post photos & profiles of ICE agents
Some they need help ID'ing or unmasked photos
Make these #NachoNazis famous while documenting for their trials
This is why we need Blue💙Govs to have state police intervene & make these #fascists show ID & unmask them to match to faces
Make them learn "just following orders" is not a defense

UPDATE: After this story was prepared for publication, ICE awarded a new contract worth up to $3.8 billion for this company to operate a migrant detention camp on Fort Bliss — its largest contract yet.
It's the first time ICE is moving ahead with plans to detain thousands of people arrested on U.S. military bases in tents before deportation.

"Wait, I’m sorry, the guy smashing a car window to abduct an immigrant may not be with ICE at all, but a member of a far-right militia group?"
-W Stancil
"My search says this individual's name is Michael Meyer, he commonly goes by the name Lewis Arthur, and his group, Veterans on Patrol (VOP), is associated with the Oath Keepers."
-M Datson
He has a criminal record⬇️
🚨Update, I apologize, the ID of the man hasn't been established.

Hundreds of scholars have had their visas revoked and dozens have been detained.
What’s exceptional about Öztürk’s case is how her detention was caught on camera.
What’s scariest, immigration lawyers say, is how little is known about all the others.

The shuttered DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties “was one of the very few tools we had to check ICE, to hold ICE accountable,” immigration lawyer Sophia Genovese said. “Now you see them speeding to complete authoritarianism.”

Calling from a Texas detention center, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas told his wife to hit record:
“They detained me simply because of my tattoos. I am not a criminal.”
“Just in case something happens to me, so you can be aware.”
A month later, he was gone.

"A Democrat and a Republican will team up to try to ban masked law enforcement in Oregon"
"Their proposal would prohibit law enforcement officers from wearing face coverings and would require them to wear 'official uniforms' with badge numbers and names. It would not apply to SWAT teams or undercover police officers as they currently operate."
Department of Homeland Security called the supreme court decision a victory and vowed to continue to “flood the zone” in Los Angeles while accusing LA mayor Karen Bass of “protecting” immigrants. “DHS law enforcement will continue to FLOOD THE ZONE in Los Angeles. This decision is a victory for the safety of Americans in California and for the rule of law. DHS will continue to arrest and remove the criminal illegal aliens that @MayorOfLA is protecting,” read the social media post.

The rock protest song I've been mixing now has a rock protest video! 🎸 Let me know what you think of it.
The video I filmed of an ICE agent shoving a woman to the ground at 26 Federal Plaza, a New York City immigration courthouse, went viral.
Then, in a rare move, the government publicly reprimanded the officer, calling his actions “unacceptable.”
