As Trump Declares War On The City, Chicago’s Best Hope Now Is Workers

September 9, 2025 James Dennis Hoff, Left Voice. , , , , ,
President Trump has said a lot of hateful and stupid things in his life, and he’s posted a lot of offensive and often half-intelligible statements and images on the White House’s official social media account. But Saturday’s unhinged AI-generated image of him as the infamous Colonel Kilgore (does no one in the White House communications department understand satire?) from Apocalypse Now really takes the cake. The image shows Trump in the character’s iconic cavalry hat, in front of a burning Chicago skyline with the text: “‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning …’ Chicago is about to find out why it’s called the Department of War.” Needless to say, implying that the United States Department of Defense will unleash napalm on a major U.S. city is not normal behavior for the commander in chief, but here we are.

‘We’re Going In’: Trump Moves To Deploy Troops To Chicago

September 4, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
After weeks of threats, US President Donald Trump officially announced that he is sending federal forces to the US city of Chicago. On September 2, Trump declared his intent to send federal troops, including National Guard personnel, to Chicago to address rising crime, stating: “We’re going in. I didn’t say when, but we’re going in.” On Tuesday, Trump claimed in a post on Truth Social that Chicago is “the worst and most dangerous city in the World, by far.” Chicago is not the most dangerous city in the world or even the nation in terms of violent crime and homicide. Chicago’s overall violent crime rate remains higher than the national average, but it’s seeing a steady decline.

Protesters Demand Avelo Leave BWI-Marshall Over ICE Flights

September 1, 2025 Kim Dacey, WBAL. , , , ,
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."

Essentials For Fighting ICE

August 30, 2025 Marc Delucchi and Sophie Shepherd, Counter Punch. , , ,
Since Donald Trump’ s inauguration, ICE has ramped up aggressive attempts to abduct and deport community members across the country. ICE’s tactics and strategies aren’t new. It’s important to remember that every president (yes, even Barack Obama & Joe Biden) and congress has increased ICE’s budget since its creation in 2003. ICE threatening more and more people has always been a logical conclusion of its existence. ICE must be abolished. Trump’s current “Border Czar” Tom Homan (a West Carthage, New York native who began his career as a West Carthage Police Officer) was first appointed to an executive director position with ICE in 2013 by Obama. Obama gave Homan a Presidential Rank Award as a “Distinguished Executive” after Homan began arguing children should be separated from their parents in immigration custody.

No one is truly safe. It doesn't matter if you're a beloved spouse and parent, an active community member appreciated by everyone, or a veteran in a wheelchair injured while serving your country. Last Thursday, August 21st, Zahid Chaudhry was detained by ICE during his naturalization interview. Zahid is the president of the Rachel Corrie Veterans For Peace Chapter 109 in Olympia, WA. He is now held at the Northwest Detention Center. “As of Sunday evening (8/24/25), he is being kept in solitary confinement, in 24/7 bright light, without accommodations for his disabilities and almost completely without communication.”  - https://keepzahidhome.carrd.co/ Veterans For Peace calls on the Department of Homeland Security to immediately free Zahid so he can rejoin his family and continue his work in the community.

DC Against Trump Coalition Shuts Down Racist Curfew Zone

August 26, 2025 Merawi Gerima, Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Washington, DC – Before organizers from the DC Against Trump Coalition (DCAT) even finished setting up for their August 23 rally at 14th and U Streets in Northwest Washington DC, community members began spontaneously chanting “Fuck Trump!” Anti-Trump sentiment has been sky-high in Washington, DC since August 11, when Trump issued an executive order sweeping away the city’s home rule powers, federalizing the Metropolitan Police Department and flooding the city with federal law enforcement and National Guard troops. To capture that sentiment and turn it into action against Trump’s racist occupation, DCAT called a rally at the city’s “curfew zone,” a location where law enforcement targets Black minors found after 8 p.m.

Trump Administration Threatens To Deport Ábrego García To Uganda

August 25, 2025 Brett Wilkins, Scheer Post. , , , ,
On the same day he was released from federal custody, the Trump administration on Friday informed Kilmar Ábrego García—a Maryland man wrongfully deported to a notorious Salvadoran prison rife with abuse—that it may deport him to the East African nation of Uganda. Ábrego García, a Salvadoran national who entered the US without authorization when he was a teenager, was released Friday from a jail near Nashville, Tennessee, where he had been held since June following his errant deportation to El Salvador and imprisonment in the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) super-maximum security prison. According to a notice sent by a US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official to Ábrego García’s attorneys on Friday, “DHS may remove your client… to Uganda no earlier than 72 hours from now.”

Farmworkers Continue To Organize In Face Of Chilling ICE Raids

August 25, 2025 Joe Maniscalco, Work-Bites. , , , ,
Imagine you’re a farmworker in 2025. You make the food on tables across the United States possible. Five years ago because of the pandemic, people even began acknowledging the essential work you do. It felt good for a second, even hopeful, after decades of being left out of the conversation around worker rights. Soaring summer temperatures threaten more than 69 million workers across the United States with heat-related illnesses each year, according to the National Committee on Occupational Safety and Health [COSH]. In 2023, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 14 heat-injury deaths in Texas alone. But farmworkers are 35 times more likely to die of heat-related stress than workers in other dangerous industries.

Judge Rules Shut Down Of Everglade’s Detention Camp After Protests

August 24, 2025 Elizaveta Vlasov, Fight Back! News. , , , , , ,
Miami, FL – The Miccosukee Tribe and Friends of the Everglades won their lawsuit to shut down the detention camp known as “Alligator Alcatraz,” as ruled by U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams on Thursday, August 21. The lawsuit was filed on June 27, and Judge Williams ordered a temporary stop to the construction on the site two weeks ago. Now, the state has 60 days to move the detainees and dismantle what’s been constructed so far. The lawsuit was brought to the courts on the grounds of environmental damage caused by the facility to the fragile Everglades ecosystem. Twenty acres of land have been paved over with asphalt for the facility’s operations.

ACLU Demands Court Order Immediate Release Of Journalist In ICE Detention

August 24, 2025 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. , , , ,
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a habeas petition that demands the immediate release of Mario Guevara, a Spanish-language journalist who United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has detained for two months. According to the petition, Guevara is in solitary confinement at the Folkston ICE Detention Center in Georgia. He is held in a “tiny cell 22 hours a day.”  “He only gets two hours a day outside the cell, during which time he is taken to another bigger cell that looks like a dog crate where he can see the sky and breathe fresh air. He has lost approximately 20 pounds during his time in detention. He is experiencing panic attacks, nightmares, and difficulty sleeping,” the petition further describes. 

LA Unites To Provide Mutual Aid For Those Impacted By ICE Raids

At 8 a.m. on July 4, about a dozen people gathered in front of a tamale cart stationed outside an abandoned 99-cent store building in Pasadena, California — some 10 miles outside of Los Angeles. While the tamales were delicious, that wasn’t the only thing drawing out the crowd — they were there for a fundraiser to support 14-year-old Chris Garcia, who started running his mom’s cart after ICE took some of her customers a few weeks earlier. Her business suffered, and she fell behind in bills, so Garcia stepped up.  An hour after the event started, the lowrider car community came cruising and bouncing down the street in support of Garcia. People started buying tamales by the dozens.

ICE Is Deporting Thousands Of People With Minor Offenses

August 21, 2025 Christie Thompson and Anna Flagg, The Marshall Project. , , ,
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.

Black People Who See Themselves In Palestinians Find Israel Sees The Same

August 18, 2025 Jon Jeter, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , , ,
Zoharah Simmons’ first trip to Israel and its occupied territories in 1994 got off to an inauspicious start. Born Gwen Robinson in Memphis, Tennessee, the great granddaughter of a slave and a former organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee who volunteered to work in Mississippi during Freedom Summer, Simmons was hardly unfamiliar with European settler colonialism or the violence that is its motor. She was, however, caught off guard by what she experienced upon her arrival in Tel Aviv as part of a peace delegation with the American Friends Service Committee, a social justice organization founded by the Quakers. First, there was the matter of getting past Israel’s immigration and customs agents.

Indigenous Communities From Southern Mexico Refuse To Bow To ICE

August 18, 2025 David Bacon, Truthout. , , , ,
In many agricultural fields of the West Coast of the United States, you’re more likely to hear Mixtec or Triqui languages spoken than Spanish. Both are common among the Indigenous people of southern Mexico, some of whom now pick grapes for Napa and Sonoma County’s prestige wineries, or apples in century-old orchards. Without their labor, rural economies in California would collapse. Yet Mixteco and Triqui migrants are being increasingly targeted in immigration raids terrorizing California’s rural communities. In farmworker families, mothers and fathers now give their children phone numbers to call if parents are abducted on the way to or from work. It can be an act of bravery simply to walk to the store, or to drive a car at night.

The Hippocratic Underground: Health Workers Defy Unethical Orders

August 18, 2025 Eric Reinhart, The Nation. , , ,
In 1949, the US psychiatrist Leo Alexander, who had served as a medical adviser to the chief of counsel for war crimes in Nuremberg, issued a warning: “Science under dictatorship becomes subordinated to the guiding philosophy of the dictatorship.” It’s message that health workers in the United States today should heed. Alexander was keenly aware that physicians, far from resisting fascism, had often been its most eager enforcers. Nearly half of all German doctors joined the Nazi Party—double the proportion of any other profession. But Alexander also pointed toward another possibility: When the state or medical institutions make it impossible to fulfill one’s ethical duties, principled health workers find ways to provide care outside the law and beyond hospital walls.
