October 24, 2025 Maurizio Guerrero, In These Times. , , ,
In the current political climate, the last bulwark against the abusive deployment of corporate-owned generative artificial intelligence might just come from union shareholders. AI tools are constantly evolving, and ​“with no one stepping in to create some guardrails, they will become harder and harder to regulate,” says Emma Pullman, head of shareholder engagement at the British Columbia General Employees’ Union (BCGEU) in Canada. The union, representing more than 95,000 members in the public and private sectors, is a long-term investor in Thomson Reuters and is pressuring the Toronto-based data broker to align its AI products with human rights principles. “As investors, we are thinking about this as a risk to our investments, but also as a social and ethical issue,” Pullman says.

Dozens of protesters gathered Sunday morning at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport to voice their opposition to Avelo Airlines' role in providing flights for Immigration Customs Enforcement's deportation efforts, highlighting concerns over transparency and accountability. The organization Indivisible and several local organizations marched, saying Avelo has a $150 million contract with the federal government to run deportation flights for ICE, transporting detainees to other facilities out of state. "We have an opportunity as Marylanders to stand up for our immigrant neighbors, coworkers families and friends," said Jennifer, with Indivisible. Jennifer emphasized the importance of taxpayer awareness, telling 11 News: "I think it's really important for, especially, taxpayers to be aware of the fact that because Avelo is privately funded, there's a lack of transparency for Marylanders and for Americans throughout the country."

ICE Is Deporting Thousands Of People With Minor Offenses

Contractor Hector Madrid Reyes was driving to Home Depot in March when he was rear-ended. As he and the other driver exchanged information, a Georgia State Patrol officer pulled up and asked for their licenses. Madrid, who arrived in the U.S. from Honduras as a teenager and was awaiting a court hearing for his asylum claim, didn’t have one. “There’s no public transportation where we’re at, no Uber or Lyft,” said his wife, Jacqueline Maravilla, about his choice to drive. “Everything's 45 minutes from everything. It's a calculated risk we have to take to support our family.” That risk has grown even greater for thousands of immigrant families under the Trump administration, as officials expand efforts to deport people with little or no criminal history.

Don’t Single Out Military Deportations, Dismantle The Deportation Machine

August 15, 2025 Sofya Aptekar, In These Times. , , ,
One Purple Heart veteran is in deportation proceedings. Another has self-deportedin anticipation of being detained. The father of three Marines is beaten and arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at work. The wife of a Marine languishes in a Louisiana immigration detention center, apprehended at her green card interview. Amid a brutal escalation of immigrant deportations in 2025, a spate of news stories including those above highlights a convergence of the U.S. military and immigration system. Immigrants have always served in the U.S. military, and their veteran status does not protect them from being deported alongside their civilian immigrant neighbors.

Since federal agents descended onto Los Angeles streets in early June, several United States citizens have been detained and held in immigration detention centers. A Capital & Main review of local reporting, video and social media posts found at least nine citizens were taken into custody by agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or U.S. Customs and Border Protection after protesting near or observing immigration raids in the Los Angeles area since June 6. Two are currently facing federal charges.  Job Garcia arrived at the Home Depot in Hollywood for his delivery gig for another company on the morning of June 19 expecting to have a regular day.

Trump’s ICE Raids Target Working-Class Immigrants, Not Criminals

Following Donald Trump’s pledge to detain 3,000 undocumented immigrants per day, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids have surged across the United States. California, home to an estimated 2.8 million undocumented immigrants as of 2023. has emerged as a primary target. Department of Homeland Security official Kristi Noem traveled to Los Angeles for a press conference, declaring the government’s intent to “bring in criminals that have been out on our street far too long.” But data tells a different story. According to ICE datasets analyzed by the Los Angeles Times, during the first 10 days of June, ICE arrested 722 undocumented immigrants in California.

The IRS Is Building A Vast System To Share Taxpayers’ Data With ICE

July 16, 2025 William Turton, Christopher Bing and Avi Asher-Schapiro, Pro Publica. , , , , ,
The Internal Revenue Service is building a computer program that would give deportation officers unprecedented access to confidential tax data. ProPublica has obtained a blueprint of the system, which would create an “on demand” process allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement to obtain the home addresses of people it’s seeking to deport. Last month, in a previously undisclosed dispute, the acting general counsel at the IRS, Andrew De Mello, refused to turn over the addresses of 7.3 million taxpayers sought by ICE. In an email obtained by ProPublica, De Mello said he had identified multiple legal “deficiencies” in the agency’s request.

Yesterday, June 26, was the UN International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, first marked in 1998 to commemorate the historic day in 1987 when the UN Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment came into effect, and also to mark the historic day in 1945 when the United Nations Charter, the founding document of the UN, was signed in San Francisco by 50 countries. Despite the best intentions of those who worked assiduously to create the Torture Convention over many decades, many of its signatories have — either openly or covertly — failed to fulfill their obligations to prevent the use of torture.

St. Rose, LA – On June 17, over 20 activists and community members showed up to monitor a building in Saint Rose, Louisiana where ICE called in a large number of people for immigration check-ins. The action was called with a hope to video and deter the ICE kidnappings. “A couple weeks ago, people were getting a text that they have to report to this office at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, June 4. A lot of people were in the waiting room, about 40 people, which is more than usual and seemed really suspicious. It was confirmed that they are detaining people and taking them out back into vans,” Catalina Gallagher, an ICE-watch participant explained.

June 12, 2025 Popular Resistance. , , , , ,
The Global March to Gaza reports that hundreds of independent activists and organizations from around the world were violently deported by Egyptian authorities. Police and officials at Cairo Airport violated the activists; human rights. They not only deceived them by requesting their passports to enter, but also kept them waiting and detained in the security checkpoint for more than six hours. After several hours, they beat women and men forced them to leave the airport on buses and did not return the belongings of some of the deportees. The Egyptian government indiscriminately expelled the activists, returning them to Istanbul. The activists came from various backgrounds, including the coordinator of the International Platform for Solidarity with the Palestinian Cause, journalist and activist Hindu Anderi, and popular communicator Rome Arrieche.

Seven Supreme Court Cases That Black Americans Should Track This Summer

June 11, 2025 Jonathan Forney, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , , , , , , , ,
From voting rights to health care to workplace equality, the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in on a number of issues this summer that could have major implications for Black Americans. “In America, for Black people, we’ve had a long season where our rights were generally respected,” said Andrea Young, executive director of the ACLU, who has been closely following the Trump administration’s legal moves. “We have Black elected officials … Black leaders in corporate America, we have extreme poverty, but we also have thriving middle class communities. We have many areas where we have lots of highly educated black people. All of those things rest on a legal framework that allows those rights to be protected.”

Are hospital staff now staging fake meetings to help ICE trap their employees? That seems to be what happened recently in Minnesota. Aditya Wahyu Harsano’s case highlights how hospital officials do not care about their patients or staff, and underscores the need for healthcare workers to fight back against these attacks. Harsono, a 33-year-old Indonesian supply chain manager at a Minnesota hospital, is a father to an eight-month-old child with special needs who was recently arrested by ICE in his former workplace Avera Hospital in Marshal, MN.
