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.

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.

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.

Chicago, IL – On September 6, 8000 Chicagoans rallied and marched downtown to demand that no federal troops be deployed in the city. The demonstration, led by the Coalition Against the Trump Agenda (CATA) in partnership with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR), showed broad opposition to the incoming illegal military occupation and made clear that Chicagoans are not afraid to exercise their democratic right to resist. “The Trump administration has been escalating their illegal attacks on the city,” said Veronica Castro, ICIRR’s deputy director. Castro described recent incidents of ICE activity, emboldened by the incoming federal forces, including masked agents targeting the domestic violence courthouse for arrests.

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

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.

Sweeping Immigration Raid At Hyundai Plant Is An Attack On All Workers

Hundreds of masked federal agents flooded the construction site of a future electric vehicle battery factory at Hyundai Motor’s massive manufacturing complex in Georgia on September 4 to conduct a sweeping immigration raid and a vicious attack on immigrant workers. Over 450 people were arrested at the end of their work day in what is the largest single-site workplace raid since the Trump administration launched its brutal deportation campaign across the country. Those workers are now detained in ICE facilities, cut off from their families, and threatened with deportation. Hyundai and LG Energy Solution, the two companies building the plant, have given carte blanche to law enforcement to conduct its investigation and target the workers building the factory; meanwhile, they have assured their investors that production has not stalled at the other sites at the complex.

Washington, DC – As the occupation enters its third week, on Wednesday afternoon, September 3, the DC Against Trump Coalition (DCAT) gathered in front of the Wilson Building, home to the mayor’s office and city council, to protest Mayor Muriel Bowser’s latest capitulation to the Trump administration. Organized in less than 24 hours, DCAT mobilized 50 people to respond to an executive order signed by the mayor that will indefinitely allow local police forces to cooperate with federal law enforcement. This move represents the latest concession to the Trump administration, which ordered the National Guard into the city three weeks ago. Protesters made their voices heard inside City Hall as they chanted, “We don’t need collaboration, end this racist occupation!”

Tacoma, WA – On September 1, the International Migrant’s Alliance – USA (IMA USA) and La Resistencia hosted a rally for solidarity with immigrants and to shut down the Northwest Detention Center. The All Out for Migrant Defense rally was attended by over 850 people. Many of the attendees traveled from Portland, Oregon as part of the closing event of the 2025 IMA USA and Tanggol Migrante Political Conference. This included a large caravan of over 50 cars and two school buses. The Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma has become the place for many organizations to unite to fight the United States’ immigration policy. Other organizations like International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) Seattle, Bayan Washington, and the Oregon Rising Coalition also attended.

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."

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.”

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

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.

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

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.

The Transformative Power Of Immigration Court Watch

Last Tuesday, I went for the second time to observe an immigration hearing in downtown Manhattan, as part of a coalition of groups whose work seems inspired by Central American accompaniment strategies. Besides providing a friendly presence to people in horrible circumstances, the point of going is to collect names and emergency contact numbers — so that if someone ends up disappeared, they won’t disappear as completely. When I entered Courtroom 7 on the 14th floor of 26 Broadway, an Ecuadorian refugee — I’ll call him Andrés — was sitting before Judge Deborah Klahr (who, like all Immigration Court judges, is actually an attorney appointed by the Justice Department). Klahr was in the process of informing Andrés that the government had recommended he be deported.
