Caravan Calls For Shutdown Of New Concentration Camp In Florida

Jacksonville, FL – On Saturday, September 20, dozens of cars embarked on a caravan led by the Jacksonville Immigrant Rights Alliance (JIRA) from Jacksonville to Sanderson in Baker County, Florida. It was a show of public resistance and solidarity with immigrants who are already being detained at a new detention center, disgustingly named by Governor Ron Desantis as “Deportation Depot.” Activists call it the “Baker Cruelty Camp,” or BCC. The announcement of BCC came as a desperate pivot from the previously planned Camp Blanding renovations, with the new location repurposing a shuttered correctional facility into a concentration camp only 15 minutes away from the Lake City Airport.

How The Enemies Of Our Movement Are Using The Kirk Assassination

There have been many analyses that have been put forth that Trump and his minions represent an attempt at a fascist takeover at worst, and a turning back of the clock in terms of the trade union movement, the women’s movement, the Black liberation movement, every progressive movement that has occurred in the United States over the last couple of centuries at best. They’re attempting to turn back the clock on all of those movements to bring us to a point where we have no democratic rights whatsoever to organize and protest for systemic change or the progressive elimination of the status quo.  From their own declarations and proclamations, we know that Trump and his minions are racist to the core, anti-union to the core, anti-LGTBQ, anti-women, and anti-immigrant.

Lawsuit Exposes Secret Agreement To Deport Migrants To Ghana

The other four governments, Eswatini, South Sudan, Uganda and Rwanda have already been acknowledged as being collaborators with the administration of President Donald Trump which has deployed thousands of Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) agents across the country to round up people suspected of being inside the country without proper documents.

Caravan Of Justice Seeks To Chase ICE Out Of Dupage And Elgin

Wheaton IL - With Operation Midway Blitz intensifying, seeing ICE terror inflicted across the area across Dupage and Kane County, particularly West Chicago and Elgin, Casa Dupage Workers Center 501c3 along with local allies from houses of worship and from the community with carry out a Caravan of Justice of dozens of cars, to show ICE that the streets of Dupage and Kane County belong to the residents of our County including our hard working Latino immigrants who are being targeted by ICE.

LA Jury Acquits Protester Despite Top Border Patrol Official’s Testimony

A protester was acquitted Wednesday of charges that he assaulted a federal agent during widespread protests against immigration crackdowns in Los Angeles, just hours after one of the faces of President Trump’s enforcement policies took the stand to testify against him. U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Gregory Bovino — the brash agent who led a phalanx of military personnel into MacArthur Park this summer — was called as a witness Wednesday in a federal misdemeanor assault case against Brayan Ramos-Brito, who was accused of striking a federal agent. Bovino, who flew in to testify from Chicago, the latest city targeted for an immigration enforcement surge, said he witnessed the alleged assault committed by Ramos-Brito in Paramount on June 7.

Victory For Immigrant Rights Movement

Portland, OR – On Wednesday, September 17, the city of Portland issued notices of land use violations to the building owner of the ICE facility in the South Waterfront neighborhood of Portland. This comes after months of protests and action by community groups like Portland Contra Las Deportaciones (PDXCD), which founded a coalition called Revoke the ICE Permit PDX, and others to demand the permit for the facility be revoked and that it is shut down. The facility has been at the center of protests for months, with a near constant presence of protesters standing against ICE. A petition to shut down the facility now has over 17,000 signatures. The violation notice issued to the building owner is for holding detainees past a 12-hour detention limit stipulated by a conditional use permit granted in 2011.

All Eyes On Gaza! All Hands On Deck!

The activist organization Veterans For Peace, with chapters in over 100 U.S. cities and several international chapters, is calling for urgent action to end the US/Israeli genocide in Gaza, to defend the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza, and to free a disabled veteran kidnapped by ICE. Israel’s deliberate and systematic genocide in Gaza continues is taking a critical turn to even greater death and destruction, with Israel’s full onslaught of Gaza City and the displacement (again) of millions. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been martyred. Children are starving to death while the whole world watches in horror.  Why won’t the United Nations or the countries of the world put a stop to the daily bombing and cruel starvation?

Trepidation, Defiance And Dejà Vu Mark Mexican Independence Day In Chicago

Mexican immigrants have deep roots in Chicago, dating back well over a century. And since at least 1924, they have commemorated Mexican Independence Day through fiestas, altars to Mexico’s heroes of independence from Spain, speeches from the Mexican consul and attendance of other Latin American dignitaries and officials. Mayor Richard J. Daley regularly attended official festivities in the 1960s, and Catholic Cardinal Alfred Meyer even celebrated mass in honor of the day in 1961. Over the years, the celebrations of Mexico’s ​“Fourth of July” have ranged from modest neighborhood dances to more formal, lavish galas at upscale hotels.

ICE Abducts Man Suing Off-Duty Police For Abusing Day Laborers

Even though President Donald Trump says he is pivoting from plans to deploy the National Guard in Chicago — now eyeing Memphis as his next target — Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers appear to still be escalating operations throughout the area, with devastating consequences. Willian Gimenez, a day laborer, was reportedly abducted outside of a barbershop in Little Village, a neighborhood in southwest Chicago, by ICE agents on Friday. The Latino Union of Chicago and Raise the Floor Alliance organized a news conference with immigration rights advocates, public officials and labor groups there in solidarity like Arise Chicago, the Chicago Workers Collaborative and Workers Center for Racial Justice, who all gathered with Gimenez’s friends and family outside of an ICE facility in Broadview to demand his release.

This School Season, Teachers And Parents Are Fighting Back Against ICE

When Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a 38-year-old chiropractor while he was dropping his daughter off, they reportedly smashed out the windows of his car. The arrest, which happened on July 15, took place outside the child’s preschool in South Beaverton, Oregon. The father, originally from Iran, is married to a U.S. citizen who said he has applied for a green card to remain in the United States legally, according to Oregon Public Media. Randy Kornfield, who witnessed the arrest while taking his grandson to the same school, told a reporter it was “heartless” to arrest a father dropping his kid off. ICE said in a statement that the child was “unharmed.” “These poor kids don’t know what’s going on,” Kornfield said at the time.

Troops Out Of Our Cities! ICE Out Of Our Communities!

There is a historical and social context that must ground our understanding of the policy formations emanating from the Trump administration. And what is that context? It is the denial on the part of elements in the Trump administration and the U.S. ruling class that the world has entered a transitional period where hegemonic power has shifted away from the U.S. and the “collective West.” This detachment from reality has resulted in contradictory policies emanating from the Trump administration that have been both reckless and counterproductive to the interests of the U.S. desire to maintain global dominance. The overreliance on the use of coercive measures and various forms of state violence and subversion by the elements of the capitalist ruling class who represent the most aggressive elements of that class has failed to reverse the imperial decline accelerated over the last three administrations.

Trump Forces Europe, Korea, Japan To Subsidize And Move Industry To US

U.S. cold warriors have failed to prevent Russia, China, Iran, and other members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) from obtaining their economic independence. That means keeping the fruits of their economic growth for themselves, rather than letting it be drained off by U.S. banks, investors, consumers, and the U.S. Treasury through the monetary dollar standard. Washington’s cold warriors have been unable to stop SCO members from moving forward and becoming independent from U.S. influence. Recognizing that they are unable to prevent this, U.S. policy is focusing now on how to prevent Europe (especially Germany), Japan, and South Korea from becoming industrial rivals and hence threats — while also targeting China and BRICS.

US Court Prohibits Attacks On Journalists Covering ICE Protests

A United States court concluded that border patrol and other federal agents “unleashed crowd control weapons indiscriminately and with surprising savagery,” targeting journalists who were covering protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Los Angeles. U.S. District Judge Hernán Vera issued an injunction against federal agents to prevent them from “dispersing, threatening, or assaulting any person whom they know or reasonably should know” is a journalist. (Vera extended the injunction to cover legal observers, too.) On June 18, 2025, three journalists—Sean Beckner-Carmitchel, Ryanne Mena, and Lexis Olivier-Ray of L.A. Taco—sued the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

North Carolina Electrical Workers Gear Up For Jobsite ICE Defense

I'm an electrical worker in IBEW Local 553 in Durham, North Carolina. We're one of the fastest growing locals in the South, with members in both construction and utility line work. Last month, I worked with a group of members to organize an immigrant defense training at our union hall, after persuading our officers to approve it. We worked with local immigrant organization Siembra NC to lead it. We had about twenty people there, half IBEW members and half from other organizations. Everybody agreed it was very useful. Siembra NC combined two trainings into one. One was ICE verification: training people to show up when they hear reports of ICE, and send out a confirmation or an “all clear” to a local network.

ICE Agents Retreat In SUV With Slashed Tires As Protesters Shout ‘Gestapo’

Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site in an affluent Rochester neighborhood after being confronted by more than 100 protesters on Tuesday. The group shouted “shame” and "Gestapo,” and applauded as agents in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement-led action drove a Border Patrol SUV away on four flat tires, which had been slashed. One of the roofers working on a rental home in the Park Avenue neighborhood was taken into custody. But agents left others apparently unchecked on the home's rooftop. Confrontations between immigration agents and protesters have been escalating across the country, leading the Trump administration to deploy National Guard troops to cities like Los Angeles and elsewhere.
