The FBI Has Deputized Local Cops As Federal Agents

July 12, 2026 Marianne Dhenin, Truthout. , , , ,
As the Trump administration widens its crackdown on immigrant communities and progressive activists, federal task forces are playing an important behind-the-scenes role. Organizers warn that institutions like the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs) are targeting vulnerable communities and sharing the kind of information that facilitates Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. But some say the current political climate also presents opportunities as appetites grow for local and state agencies to cut ties with the federal task forces endangering their communities.

July 12, 2026 Daisy Baertschi, Fight Back! News. , , ,
Bozeman, MT – On Monday, June 29, ICE agents arrived in Montana's Gallatin County and began a wide-ranging dragnet operation targeting the local immigrant communities, with assistance from the Montana Highway Patrol. More than 100 people are estimated to have been abducted as of July 9. In contrast with ICE operations in the past, such as Metro Surge in Minneapolis, known abductions in Gallatin County have primarily targeted suburban and semi-rural residents, construction jobsites and areas devoid of potential witnesses.

July 12, 2026 Alexandra Martinez, Next City. , , ,
As FIFA World Cup matches draw fans from around the globe to South Florida, local artists are using the tournament’s international spotlight to raise concerns about immigration detention in the state. The community arts collective Artists for Artists: MIA (A4A: MIA) joined the national “No ICE in the Cup” (NIITC) campaign, calling attention to the impact of immigration enforcement in World Cup host cities, including Miami. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a promotional video ahead of the games that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers “will be out there everyday.”

On July 7, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican construction worker and father, was shot and killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Houston, Texas, during a vehicle stop as he was on his way to work. “My father was a simple man. A family man. A man of routine,” said Ronaldo Salgado, oldest son of Salgado Araujo, during an emotional press conference in response to the incident. Ronaldo detailed how he scrambled for information the morning of the incident. He drove an hour away to his father’s work site to find neither he nor his workers there.

The Elite ‘OK’ To Police Our Every Thought And Move

July 9, 2026 Adam Johnson and Steven Thrasher, In These Times. , , , ,
Over the last year and a half, the United States under Donald Trump has seen a deluge of brutal, targeted repression. The administration now has a long record of using Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to abduct and deport those fighting oppression, from union organizers in Washington to pro-Palestinian activists in New York. And yet, as the authors of two recently released books discussed in a panel at Pilsen Community Books in Chicago, much of the groundwork for this reign of terror was laid by liberal institutions, from universities to major media outlets, during Joe Biden’s tenure.

On Saturday, June 27, the Detroit People’s Tribunal was convened at the Historic St. Matthew’s & St. Joseph’s Episcopal Church in the North End of Detroit. This event had been in the making for more than five months prompted by a series of developments including the deployment of National Guard and Marine units in other cities such as Los Angeles, Memphis and Washington, D.C. during late 2025 and earlier this year. Several organizations sponsored and endorsed the event with Detroit Will Breathe, People’s Assembly, Democratic Socialist of America Detroit Chapter among others taking the lead in mobilizing the people.

Hundreds Protest ICE In Milwaukee

July 5, 2026 Fight Back! News. , , ,
Milwaukee, WI – On Wednesday, July 1, hundreds gathered at Kosciuszko Park to protest the recent spike in ICE activity in the area. Since the end of the previous week, ICE had arrested dozens of people in Wisconsin, with most cases happening in Milwaukee. ICE agents had been terrorizing the city’s Southside, where many immigrants reside, breaking car windows and kidnapping people from inside their cars. These aggressive tactics quickly led he ICE Out of MKE Coalition to launch broad outreach efforts and Wednesday’s action. The community’s response was clear – we need to educate our people and show strong leadership and unity against ICE’s threats.

Minnesota Activists Prepare To Defend Anti-ICE Protesters

July 3, 2026 Ibrahim Hirsi, Truthout. , , , ,
Minnesota activists and scholars are decrying the recent federal indictment of 15 people who took part in demonstrations against the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities metro region earlier this year. The indictment accuses the protesters of surveilling federal agents, disrupting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, and training people on how to delay or prevent arrests, among other allegations. It also alleges that the defendants are members of antifa-linked groups like the Black Cat Worker’s Collective, which prosecutors describe as an organization committed to “militant class struggle” and “revolution.”

One Year On, Los Angeles Is Still Living With Fallout Of The Raids

When immigration agents arrived at the Los Angeles car wash where he worked, Giovanni didn’t see them until one was standing beside him. Giovanni’s thoughts turned to his family: How would they get by without him? Would he have to uproot his school-age children from the only home they had ever known? Giovanni had worked at the car wash in the San Fernando Valley for years, vacuuming interiors and scrubbing cars. Then, on that day in October, he was taken away by federal immigration agents along with three other workers.

New Report: Growing Partnership Between Surveillance Tech And ICE

June 26, 2026 Shireen Akram-Boshar, Truthout. , , ,
A new report has outlined the massive expansion in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s use of surveillance technologies and partnerships with technology companies during President Donald Trump’s second term. The report, released this week by Mijente, Just Futures Law, and Surveillance Resistance Lab, explains that billions of dollars of taxpayer funds have been diverted for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contracts with surveillance and technology companies. DHS runs both ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

ICE Says 51 People Died In Custody Under Trump

June 24, 2026 Mike Ludwig, Truthout. , , ,
Mamuka Artmeladze, a 43-year-old Georgian national, was found dead on June 4, 2026, in federal immigration custody. Though his name did not appear in Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE’s) online death records by the time this article was published, Artmeladze was reported as the 50th person to die in ICE custody since President Donald Trump returned to office. One of two recent deaths at a notorious immigration prison in Louisiana, Artmeladze’s death is one of the latest signs that the president’s mass deportation campaign has predictably created a human rights crisis inside a sprawling system of immigration jails and camps.

Florida Shuts Down Alligator Alcatraz

June 23, 2026 Thomas Kennedy, Truthout. , , , , ,
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), along with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), announced last week that all persons detained at the Alligator Alcatraz immigration jail were transferred to other facilities, and that the site’s giant tents and cages had been emptied. The reason given to the public was the risk posed by Florida’s hurricane season, with the agency offering this statement: “As we enter hurricane season, ICE and the state of Florida have moved illegal aliens from the soft-sided facility. For the safety of the illegal alien detainees, we transferred them to other facilities.”

Despite State’s Attempts To Stamp Out Opposition, Our Movements Persevere

June 19, 2026 Austin C. McCoy, Truthout. , , ,
It is difficult to find inspiration on this Juneteenth. We are still living in difficult times. In the last year, hundreds of thousands of African Americans have lost jobs. Some state legislatures in the South — Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi — have sought to dilute Black political power after the Supreme Court issued its Louisiana v. Callais decision. Meanwhile, this new administration has enacted a white nationalist immigration policy — effectively closing the Southern border; throwing undocumented people into prisons and camps; deporting thousands, including children; and unleashing the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) onto blue cities like Los Angeles and Minneapolis.

Minneapolis Rallies Against Indictments Of Anti-ICE Protesters

June 19, 2026 Esper Garcia and Mira Altobell-Resendez, Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Minneapolis, MN – On the morning of June 15, the Department of Justice announced charges against 15 anti-ice protesters for “conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer,” and other bogus charges. That same morning 12 out of the 15 protesters had their homes raided and were arrested in relation to the federal indictment. After the arrests, the DOJ held a press conference, where U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen claimed that the accused had assaulted a federal officer and destroyed government property, among other charges. When asked, Rosen did not respond to any questions regarding the injuries or the number of agents injured by the indicted, or about the investigations of the federal agents who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

FIFA Reinforces ICE Repression While Targeting Iran, Haiti And Africa

June 17, 2026 Sara Flounders. Workers World. , , , , ,
The stated role of FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association), as the World Cup tournament organizer, is to ensure that football (soccer) is accessible to everyone and that global tournaments will be “safe, welcoming and inclusive.” That is not the reality of the 2026 World Cup. The anger at FIFA’s multimillionaire directors is wholly justified and righteous. The call to “Boycott FIFA” and a demand for accountability for abusive behavior need immediate support.  Every FIFA-sponsored game reinforces U.S. repression and racist exclusion. Resistance from below by those refusing to let the world’s most popular sport become a tool in the hands of those who wage war has — and will — take many forms, including protests, boycotts and collective actions.
