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

August 23, 2025 Victoria Valenzuela, Waging Nonviolence. Organize! ICE, Immigrant Rights, Los Angeles, Mutual Aid

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. Educate! Deportations, Detention, ICE, Immigrant Rights

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

August 20, 2025 Andy Bichlbaum, Waging Nonviolence. Strategize! Disappearances, Fascism, Immigrant Rights, Immigration Law, Solidarity

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.

Trump Administration Opens New Immigration Jail At Texas Military Base

August 19, 2025 Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg, Truthout. Educate! Detention Centers, Immigrant Rights, Military bases, Private Prisons, Texas

Despite local opposition, the Trump administration has opened what’s expected to be the largest immigration jail in the country, on the grounds of the Fort Bliss military base in El Paso, Texas. In addition to Fort Bliss, the Trump administration also plans to detain immigrants on military bases in New Jersey and Indiana. On August 18, Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas), whose district includes most of El Paso and part of Fort Bliss, was the first federal lawmaker to conduct an oversight tour of the jail, which is expected to eventually hold about 5,000 people. At a press conference held outside the jail, Escobar told reporters that she did not speak with any of the approximately 1,000 people detained at the “massive tent city.”

The Hippocratic Underground: Health Workers Defy Unethical Orders

August 18, 2025 Eric Reinhart, The Nation. Resist! Ethics, Healthcare workers, ICE, Immigrant Rights

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.

Anatomy Of A Red Scare

As thousands of people took to the streets of Los Angeles to defend their communities against state-sanctioned abductions of immigrants this June, the Senate Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism (SSCC) put three organizations—Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), and the independent political organization Unión del Barrio (UdB)—on notice. Led by Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, the SSCC normally oversees anti-terrorism enforcement and policy, and directs the work of the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Justice Department Criminal Division.

Don’t Single Out Military Deportations, Dismantle The Deportation Machine

August 15, 2025 Sofya Aptekar, In These Times. Strategize! Deportations, Immigrant Rights, Trump Administration, Veterans

One Purple Heart veteran is in deportation proceedings. Another has self-deportedin anticipation of being detained. The father of three Marines is beaten and arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at work. The wife of a Marine languishes in a Louisiana immigration detention center, apprehended at her green card interview. Amid a brutal escalation of immigrant deportations in 2025, a spate of news stories including those above highlights a convergence of the U.S. military and immigration system. Immigrants have always served in the U.S. military, and their veteran status does not protect them from being deported alongside their civilian immigrant neighbors.

New Campaign: ‘ICE Out Of Minneapolis: Sanctuary For Real’

August 12, 2025 Sophie Breen, Fight Back! News. Organize! ICE, Immigrant Rights, Minneapolis, Sanctuary City

Minneapolis On Tuesday, August 5, the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC) and other community groups held a press conference to announce their new campaign for “ICE Out of Minneapolis: Sanctuary for Real!” The campaign pushes city elected officials to strengthen the separation ordinance that says that the Minneapolis Police Department cannot collaborate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Demands include “No collusion: no local law enforcement information sharing with federal agencies; no crowd control: no local law enforcement cooperation with ICE, HSI, and other federal agencies

Following ICE Raid, Mill Town Fights Back Against Local Police Cooperation

August 9, 2025 Mike Elk, Payday Report. Resist! Community Defense, ICE, Immigrant Rights, Pennsylvania

Ambridge, PA - In recent years, the dying mill town of Ambridge has seen revival as Latino immigrants pour into the community. However, a recent raid by ICE working in conjunction with local police has angered many residents and raised important questions about how even small municipalities like Ambridge can resist Trump’s attack on immigrants. In 2016, Trump held a rally in Ambridge. After Trump won Pennsylvania, Gabriel Trip writing for The New York Times in an article entitled “ A Pennsylvania Town in Decline and Despair Looks to Donald Trump” wrote that, “Ambridge, like much of Pennsylvania outside Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, eagerly enlisted in Trump Nation this year.”

American Gulag: Alcatraz And Its Offspring

August 6, 2025 Peter Greenhill, Popular Resistance. Educate! Alligator Alcatraz, Immigrant Rights, Mass Incarceration, Trump Administration

As if we needed more examples of the incompetence and insanity of the current federal regime, along comes their obsession with Alcatraz, in both the nominal and the actual sense. They have been looking at the historic San Francisco Bay island prison, now a museum, with the idea in mind of renovating it and reopening it as an active prison. This foolishness is on the heels of opening a new prison facility in the swamps of Florida that they have christened, with great pleasure, “Alligator Alcatraz.” Both ideas come from the diseased tyrannical minds exercising destructive control over the whole country and assaulting what little remains of morality.

What It Will Take To Get US Citizens To Work The Farm?

August 4, 2025 Samuel Benson, Portside. Strategize! California, Farmworkers, ICE, Immigrant Rights, Wages, Worker Rights

The agriculture sector is on edge like never before. With ICE officers chasing undocumented immigrants through fields and barging into meatpacking plants, workers are spooked. Even before the farm raids, workforce shortages and economic uncertainty rankled the industry. Now, as harvest season arrives for many crops, concerns are growing that there may not be enough workers out there to feed the country. To Dolores Huerta, it’s an unprecedented problem caused squarely by the Trump administration. “It’s an atrocity, what they’ve been doing to the immigrant community,” Huerta said in an interview with POLITICO Magazine.

Border Patrol And ICE Agents Are Arresting US Citizens

August 2, 2025 Cerise Castle, Scheer Post. Educate! Deportations, ICE, Immigrant Rights, US Citizens

Since federal agents descended onto Los Angeles streets in early June, several United States citizens have been detained and held in immigration detention centers. A Capital & Main review of local reporting, video and social media posts found at least nine citizens were taken into custody by agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or U.S. Customs and Border Protection after protesting near or observing immigration raids in the Los Angeles area since June 6. Two are currently facing federal charges. Job Garcia arrived at the Home Depot in Hollywood for his delivery gig for another company on the morning of June 19 expecting to have a regular day.

Immigration Officers Smash Car Windows To Speed Up Arrests

August 1, 2025 Nicole Foy and McKenzie Funk, Scheer Post. Educate! Detention, ICE, Immigrant Rights, Police abuse

A month into the new Trump administration, on the predawn streets of suburban Maryland, a high-ranking ICE official stood alongside a Mazda sedan that his officers had just stopped. The official told a local TV reporter at the scene what was about to happen. “He can either give us a license,” he said, “or we’ll smash the fucking window out and drag him out.” Then, as the driver refused to exit the car, officers broke the glass. It was one of nearly 50 documented instances of immigration agents breaking vehicle windows that ProPublica has identified from social media, local news accounts, lawsuits and interviews since President Donald Trump took office six months ago.

New Immigration Laws 2025: How States Are Criminalizing Migrants And Allies

July 31, 2025 Jill Castellano and Shoshana Walter, The Marshall Project. Educate! Civil Rights, Immigrant Rights, Immigration Law, State Legislatures

When Alabama lawmakers passed a sweeping anti-immigration bill in 2011, backlash was swift. Immigrant advocates warned that Latinos were fleeing the state, fearing arrests for their status or for "harboring" undocumented people. And some business leaders condemned the law after police arrested German and Japanese car executives for not having their licenses on them, a practice intended to funnel undocumented people from police stops into deportation proceedings. Civil rights groups sued, and courts overturned much of the law as unconstitutional. Activists thought the effort was behind them.

Charges Dropped Against Anti-ICE Protester Alejandro Orellana

July 31, 2025 Fight Back! News. Resist! Alejandro Orellana, California, FBI, ICE, Immigrant Rights, Victory

Los Angeles, CA – On July 29, the federal government announced the conspiracy charges against Chicano activist Alejandro Orellana were dropped – a victory for Centro CSO and all freedom fighters in the immigrant rights movement fighting against ICE terror! On June 12, the FBI, National Guard, and the East LA Sheriff station raided Orellana’s home. They arrested Orellana, destroyed his family home, and locked him up at the Metropolitan Detention Center that has been the site of many anti-deportation protests. The Justice Department charged him with conspiracy to commit civil disorder and aiding and abetting civil disorder, which could have resulted in up to five years in prison for Orellana.
