Washington, DC – On Sunday, May 3, about 15 protesters gathered again outside the Customs and Border Patrol headquarters to protest the ICE detainment of Yousof Azizi, a PhD student and outspoken anti-war advocate. Azizi was kidnapped on April 13 while on his way home from dropping off his two children at school. Since then, he has been transferred at least twice, and has been repeatedly denied access to his lawyer and allowed only limited contact family. Chant leaders opened the program with calls such as “I-C-E, we don't need ‘em, we demand Yousof’s freedom!” and “CBP stop the lies, speaking out is not a crime!”

Washington, DC – On Saturday, April 18, about 20 protesters gathered outside the Customs and Border Patrol headquarters to protest the ICE detainment of Yousof Azizi, a PhD student and outspoken anti-war activist.

Since then, he has been transferred first to a detention facility in Louisiana, then again to Arizona, against his will. Azizi has also been denied access to his lawyer, and allowed limited contact with his wife.

Leqaa Kordia On Life After ICE Detention

April 21, 2026 Sam Judy, Mondoweiss. Educate! Detention, ICE, Leqqa Kordia, Palestine, Prisoner rights

One month ago, Mondoweiss reported on what would be Leqaa Kordia’s final hearing to determine bail eligibility while confined in Prairieland Detention Center in North Texas. Now, she has returned to her home in Paterson, N.J., with renewed strength. Kordia’s release was widely celebrated. Notable supporters like Zohran Mamdani lauded her release, as did organizations including the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP). Perhaps the best known Columbia protester who had been arrested, Mahmoud Khalil, also met with Kordia, joining her at a press conference at Paterson City Hall alongside his wife and fellow activist Dr. Noor Abdalla.

War On Free Speech Expands To Detention, Sanctions Of Individuals

April 20, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Featured Campaign, Podcast - Clearing The FOG Book Review, Detention, Financial Censorship, Free Speech, ICE

The plutocratic power structure in the United States is clamping down on our right to know and to dissent by illegally detaining individuals who speak out or shutting down their access to financial services. Clearing the FOG speaks with political analyst Ali Alizadeh about the unlawful detention of Iranian public policy PhD student at Virginia Tech, Yousof Azizi, who is frequently a guest on major media outlets. The second guest is Rainey Reitman of the Freedom of the Press foundation, who discusses her new book, "Transaction Denied: Big finance's power to punish speech."

The Arrest Of Yousof Azizi And The Collapse Of ‘Free Speech’

April 19, 2026 Joshua Scheer, Scheer Post. Resist! Detention, ICE, Journalism, Yousof Azizi

Inspired by the growing campaign to free Yousof Azizi, I looked deeper into his case—and what unfolds is not an anomaly, but a warning. This is what the erosion of academic freedom looks like in real time. A scholar taken. A voice removed. A mind deemed dangerous not for violence, but for dissent. Under the Trump regime, the university is no longer a sanctuary for inquiry—it is a hunting ground. The lecture hall gives way to surveillance. The visa becomes a leash. And the line between scholarship and subversion is redrawn by power. This brief report pulls together the fragments of a case that exposes something larger: a system increasingly intolerant of independent thought, where intellectual life itself is treated as a threat.

Salah Sarsour: A Pillar Taken, A Community That Will Not Yield

April 12, 2026 Dr. Hatem Bazian, In These Times. Resist! Detention, ICE, Palestine, Palestine Solidarity, Retaliation

There are people you meet in the struggle for Palestine and justice who leave a mark not because of titles they hold or platforms they command, but because of who they are — quietly, consistently, and without asking for anything in return. Salah Sarsour is that kind of person. And the fact that he is sitting tonight in a detention facility, torn from his family and his community by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who pulled him over with no legitimate cause, is an injustice that demands that every one of us speak. I first met Salah over thirty years ago, when I was beginning to organize for Palestine on a national level and found myself visiting the Muslim community in Milwaukee.

Trump Has Detained Parents Of More Than 11,000 US Citizen Kids

March 24, 2026 Jeff Ernsthausen, Mario Ariza, McKenzie Funk, Mica Rosenberg and Gabriel Sandoval, Pro Publica. Educate! Deportations, Detention, ICE, Immigrant Rights

The baby needed somewhere to go. So in the frantic hours before officers took her parents away to immigration detention, her mom turned to their pastor and his wife. As squad cars waited outside the family’s Lakeland, Florida, trailer home, she gave them a crash course in how to care for the 4-month-old. Briany, with her plump cheeks and full head of dark hair, wasn’t normally this fussy. But it was late that January night — around midnight — and she was still hungry. Her mom, Doris Flores, had tried nursing her to calm her down. It didn’t work. When she brought Briany to her breast, the milk wouldn’t come.

Press Freedom Groups Call For Release Of Journalist Arrested by ICE

March 16, 2026 Defending Rights and Dissent. Resist! Detention, Estefany Rodrigiez, ICE, Journalism, Press Freedom, State Repression

On Tuesday, a coalition of 41 press-freedom groups demanded that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement immediately release journalist Estefany Rodriguez. ICE failed to produce a warrant when Rodriguez, a Colombian-born reporter, was arrested on March 4, 2026. She has been in ICE custody since, moving between detention facilities with her current whereabouts likely in Alabama but unclear. Rodriguez had fled to the United States in 2021 after facing threats for her coverage of Colombia’s armed militia groups. She has since applied for political asylum in the United States, and has a pending green card application through her husband, who is a U.S. citizen.

March 14, 2026 Sam Judy, Mondoweiss. Resist! Detention, Higher Education, Palestine, State Repression, Student Activism

One year ago, on March 13, 2025, Palestinian Columbia protester Leqaa Kordia was arrested and detained after turning herself into the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in New Jersey. Today, Friday, March 13, 2026, an immigration judge just ordered her release for the third time. In her third and final bond hearing, Kordia’s lawyer Sarah Sherman-Stokes, once again presented ample evidence that, despite arguments from DHS, her client is not a flight risk and should be eligible for bond. Kordia is the last remaining Columbia protester in detention and was arrested shortly after fellow protester Mahmoud Khalil.

South Burlington ICE Raid Triggers Large Protest

March 14, 2026 Colin Flanders, Seven Days. Resist! Community Defense, Detention, ICE, Immigrant Rights, Vermont

Hundreds of people crowded into downtown Burlington on Friday night to protest the botched immigration operation in South Burlington that led to confrontations between activists and law enforcement and ended with the detainment of three immigrants. Protesters, carrying signs that said “Get ICE Out of VT” and “Free Them All,” gathered at the bottom of Church Street and marched up to the federal courthouse on Elmwood Avenue before returning to the steps of city hall. They demanded the release of the detainees: a 31-year-old Honduran man named Christian Humberto Jerez Andrade and two Ecuadorean sisters: Daysi Camila Patin Patin, 20, and Jisella Johana Patin Patin, 31.

Why I Am Scared To Travel To The US Right Now

February 15, 2026 Karl Nerenberg, Rabble.ca. Educate! Blacklisted, Canada, Customs and Border Patrol, Detention

A lot of Canadians are boycotting travel to the U.S. these days. For most, those boycotts make a political statement. Canadian boycotters do not want to, in any way, support a country ruled by a toxic would-be dictator. They want nothing to do with an out-of-control President, who calls whole races of people garbage (in a manner that does not echo or rhyme with Nazi hate propaganda, but quite faithfully reproduces it), and who sits up at night spewing malevolent lies about Canada. Those are pretty legitimate political reasons to shun any country – as a gesture of protest and resistance.

The Children Of Dilley, Texas Detention Center

February 12, 2026 Mica Rosenberg, Pro Publica. Educate! Children, Detention, ICE, Immigrant Rights, Texas

Fourteen-year-old Ariana Velasquez had been held at the immigrant detention center in Dilley, Texas, with her mother for some 45 days when I managed to get inside to meet her. The staff brought everyone in the visiting room a boxed lunch from the cafeteria: a cup of yellowish stew and a hamburger patty in a plain bun. Ariana’s long black curls hung loosely around her face and she was wearing a government-issued gray sweatsuit. At first, she sat looking blankly down at the table. She poked at her food with a plastic fork and let her mother do most of the talking.

The Fight To Keep ICE From Reopening A Notorious Prison

February 11, 2026 Victoria Valenzuela, Waging Nonviolence. Resist! California, Detention, ICE, Immigrant Rights, Prisons

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.

The US Warehousing Of Immigrants

February 10, 2026 Juventud Rebelde, Resumen English. Educate! Detention, ICE, Immigrants, Trump Administration, Warehouse Detention Centers

The Trump administration has a perverse and degrading plan that has been in effect since last year and will expand even further in 2026. It is being implemented by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE): converting commercial warehouses into detention centers, which will join those already established on military bases until they cover the entire territory of the United States. Reports from various US media outlets are explicit: ICE has already purchased, or is in the process of acquiring, a dozen commercial buildings or department stores since December, which would further increase the 212 immigrant detention centers it had at the beginning of 2026.

Worker Organizer Abducted By Federal Agents In Minnesota

February 7, 2026 Sarah Lazare, In These Times. Educate! Abduction, Detention, ICE, Minnesota

Federal immigration agents have abducted Eustaquio Orozco Verdusco, a workers’ rights organizer well known in Minnesota for fighting wage theft and labor trafficking. His attorney and son say he is currently held at the Cibola County Correctional Center in New Mexico, run by CoreCivic, one of the largest private prison companies in the United States. For the first time, his family is going to the press as community support for his release is swelling. “All we care about is having him back with us, at home in Minnesota,” his son, Gerardo Orozco Guzman, told me. “That’s all we want.”
