Maryland - On February 10, the Washington County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to support the Department of Homeland Security and ICE’s planned detention facility at 16220 Wright Road in Williamsport, just outside Hagerstown, Maryland. The vote took less than 30 minutes, but the consequences could last decades. And we were there. On January 28, county officials first made the public aware that DHS had purchased a massive, 825,000-square-foot warehouse in Washington County for approximately $102.4 million. Public reporting indicates the facility is believed to be intended as an ICE detention center capable of housing up to 1,500 detained immigrants.

On March 1, 2025, Kendra Drysdale stood before a crowd of about 500 people at a street protest to rally the Dublin, California community against the potential reopening of a local federal prison as an immigrant detention center. She warned them of the harm and trauma that the reopening could cause — which she knew firsthand, because she and many incarcerated women she knew had been sexually assaulted at Federal Correctional Institution Dublin, or FCI Dublin, when it was a women’s prison. Before it closed in April 2024, the federal prison was known as the “rape club” for rampant sexual assault and retaliation against incarcerated women who spoke out.

February 11, 2026 Zeid Alsalloum, Left Voice. Resist! ICE, Indiana, Student Activism, Walkout

The clock hit 10:15 a.m., and everyone knew it was time. The school erupted as students flooded the main hallway. Signs popped up above the crowd and noise filled the air as they began their march towards the auditorium doors. When administrators secured the doors, students quickly found alternative routes. They rushed through multiple doors, one of which was blocked by snow. The obstacles slowed them, but did not stop them. What began as a walkout quickly became a determined march. Many marched out with a single goal, which was to make their voices heard and raise awareness.

A broad coalition of elected officials, public figures, and grassroots organizations issued a public letter demanding an end to the Trump administration’s escalating war against Cuba, which they describe as a deliberate effort to induce famine and mass suffering on the island. “US President Donald Trump is trying to induce a famine in Cuba,” the Call to Conscience states. “This is not a policy of national security; it is a deliberate act of economic warfare aimed at strangling an entire population.” The letter comes in response to Trump’s January 29 executive order, which labels Cuba an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to the United States

The government of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced the shipment of 814 tons of milk, meat, beans, rice, and other foodstuffs to Cuba on Sunday, February 8. The move came days after Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel presented a series of emergency measures being adopted by his government to mitigate the impact of the severe fuel shortage facing the island. Cuba is currently facing a serious crisis, provoked by recent maneuvers from the US government which, emboldened by its massive military build up in the Caribbean and its recent bombing of Caracas, has sought to further tighten the blockade on the island, hoping to finally force the overthrow of the government.

The 2026 Winter Olympics has seen an outpouring of opposition to Trump and the presence in Milan of agents of his murderous Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Italy’s fascist prime minister, Georgia Meloni, welcomed US Vice President JD Vance to Milan and placed the city on lockdown. Nearly 6,000 heavily-armed Italian police and military officers are patrolling the streets. Snipers are deployed on the rooftops, no-fly zones have been established across the city and a special decree allows police to jail people in Milan for 12 hours on the flimsy grounds that police suspect they might engage in violent protest.

On January 27 and 28, 1942, hundreds of Yugoslav partisans marched over Mount Igman in Bosnia to evade Nazi encirclement and reach liberated territory in Foča. This feat of the First Proletarian Brigade – carried out at temperatures around −30 degrees Celsius, with dozens of fighters dying or suffering injuries due to frostbite – became a defining moment of the antifascist resistance. It is commemorated to this day, testifying to the determination and endurance of the partisans. Every year, thousands travel to Igman from across the former republics of socialist Yugoslavia to pay tribute, while also drawing inspiration and strength for contemporary struggles.

The agreement, reached on February 4, is the culmination of 502 days of bargaining and a successful strike authorization vote by a supermajority of workers in October of last year. It includes a 20 percent wage increase over four years, reduced health care costs, job security protections, the right to strike over health and safety grievances, the recognition of skilled trades, and many other protections and benefits.

Dockworkers in more than 20 ports across the Mediterranean marked a historic moment today as they launched an international day of strike and protest against war and rearmament. Dockers also protested the privatization and militarization of port infrastructure. Unionists involved in preparing the action described it as the result of a long and complex process, built on dockworkers’ solidarity with Palestine and their struggles for dignified working conditions at home. The impact of the strike was felt even before it fully unfolded on February 6, as reports emerged of ships – vessels that regularly transport military cargo to Israel – disrupting their itineraries due to the actions.

Israeli settlers from the kibbutz have filed a lawsuit against the fund, which controls 80 percent of an intraocular lens plant located in the northern settlement.
