Fundraiser for students activists targeted in FBI raid of pro-Palestine movement in Michigan.
They are facing several charges and upto 20 years if convicted.
Shamefully, University of Michigan aided the FBI with their investigation ahead of the raids.

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge.
“They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

Sending CBP “back to the border” might sound great if you’re someone who doesn’t mind throwing other people under the bus, but consider this: 3/4 of the US population lives in the 100-mile border zone, which includes cities like LA, Chicago, New York…

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS must cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
"That unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

And know that when Border Patrol goes back to the US-Mexico line, this is what they're going back to do: kill.
Just yesterday, they shot a man. A few days earlier, they killed two people in a vehicle chase. These are people too; their lives also matter.

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.

The American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded half a century ago on Franklin Ave in Minneapolis to respond to police violence targeting indigenous residents.
Today, as ICE invades the city, "AIM patrols are back, watching over elders, youths and aunties along the same avenue."
