MORTON — U.S. immigration officials raided numerous Mississippi food processing plants Wednesday, arresting 680 mostly Latino workers in what marked the largest workplace sting in at least a decade. The raids, planned months ago, happened just hours before President Donald Trump was scheduled to visit El Paso, Texas, the majority-Latino city where a man linked to an online screed about a "Hispanic invasion" was charged in a shooting that left 22 people dead in the border city.

The Top 5 Ways To Defeat ICE Agents

July 30, 2019 Lee Camp, Truthdig.com Organize! Deportations, ICE, Immigration, Repression, Undocumented

The Democrats and the corporate media will breathlessly tell you how Donald Trump is a racist (he is). They’ll relay the gut-wrenching horror of having your family ripped apart by Border Patrol (I’m sure it is). They’ll let you know that keeping children in cages is not what America stands for and not who we are (it kinda is). But despite all of this, they practically never tell everyone how to actually fight back against ICE raids and Border Patrol detentions. Welcome to the paradoxical sales pitch of the neoliberal morass—“Act like you hate racism while doing almost nothing to stop racist policies that have gone on for decades!”

Hundreds marched through the rain Sunday afternoon to protest outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Williston. The demonstration was put on by the combined force of dozens of local activist groups including Women's March Vermont, Migrant Justice and the Peace and Justice Center. “If you’re taking children away from their mothers and leaving them in a room with no one to care for them, you need to quit your job,” said Bob Fishel, of Burlington.

“I could see if these people were bad criminals, but they’re not. They’re just trying to provide for their kids,” a neighbor told a Nashville TV station. A group of sympathetic Tennessee neighbors mobilized Monday to form a human barricade to successfully protect a father from arrest by two Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Neighbors in Nashville first brought food, water and gas to the unidentified man and his 12-year-old son, who were holed up for close to four hours in the family van after it was blocked in their driveway by the ICE agents, who witnesses said were not in uniform.

ICE Raids, Asylum Seekers And The Othering Of People Of Color

July 22, 2019 Preeti Vissa Kristipati, Greenlining.org Educate! Asylum, Deportations, ICE, Immigration, Undocumented

Like many of you, I’ve watched the reports and rumors of expected ICE raids, images of adults and children in U.S. concentration camps and the attacks on asylum seekers with horror. The large-scale ICE raids that officials have hinted at haven’t yet materialized as I write this, but they’ve succeeded in what may have been their real objective: terrorizing immigrant communities. Central and South Americans seem to be mainly in the crosshairs, but they’re far from the only ones.

Next up: ICE raids and the vital intersections between workers rights, migrant rights and the prison industrial complex.

"I can only imagine the fear our immigrant communities feel this morning." Long-feared ICE raids began quietly over the weekend as the agency moved slowly to lead off what's expected to be several days of actions targeting families as part of President Donald Trump's war on immigrants. Plans for the raids were made public on July 11. Reporting from The New York Times revealed the scope of the planned raids—targeting 10 cities and thousands of families—and President Donald Trump, in a tweet, confirmed the operation.

Sanctuary Leaders Fight Back Against ICE’s ‘Psychological Violence’ And Steep Fines

July 9, 2019 Tina Vasquez, Rewire.news Resist! ICE, Immigration, Sanctuary Cities, Undocumented

Ivan Ramirez, a 13-year-old Guatemalan asylum seeker, says he can’t remember a time in his life when he felt free. Now that the federal government intends to fine his mother more than $300,000, he worries that whatever semblance of safety they have in sanctuary is being threatened. Ivan and his mother Hilda Ramirez came to the United States fleeing familial violence in 2014. Since then, they have been “under attack” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the elder Ramirez said. They were detained together for almost a year after first arriving in the United States.

Disrupt, Sabotage, Shut-Down: #ClosetheCamps Resistance Timeline

Almost one year to the day that the Abolish ICE movement first kicked off across the United State; blockading ICE offices and in some cases, closing facilities. The movement has now sprung up again, in the wake of the tragic deaths of multiple migrant workers and their children and Trump’s call for mass roundups and ethnic cleansing. Like in the years following the depression, Trump is hoping to tap into far-Right bred resentment against migrant workers in order to distract from his administration’s blatant assault on poor and working people and the deepening social...

The Militarization Of Johns Hopkins Exposes A Nationwide Trend

April 8, 2019 Corey Payne and Steph Saxton, Truthout.org Educate! Higher Education, ICE, Militarization

Students at Johns Hopkins University — joined by neighborhood groups, workers’ unions and left-leaning advocacy organizations — are currently occupying the university administration building on campus, demanding an immediate end to the university’s push for an armed private police force and its contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The sit-in — which started at 1 pm on Wednesday, April 3 — is part of a broader set of community protests organized in response to the Maryland State General Assembly’s decision earlier this week to approve a law allowing Johns Hopkins to create its own armed private police department, complete with arrest powers and state protections.
