State Oppression

Trump 2.0: A Dark Mirror Into Our Past

January 15, 2026 Willie Mack, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
On January 7, 2026, Immigrant and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, under the control of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), shot and killed a woman, Rennee Nicole Good, as they rampaged through Minneapolis, MN, looking to kidnap any undocumented immigrant, specifically Somali immigrants, they could find. The ICE agents are in Minneapolis to—according to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem—“root out fraud, arrest perpetrators and remove criminal illegal aliens” from the U.S. The Trump administration began focusing on Minneapolis-St. Paul, home to the largest Somali community in the U.S., to investigate claims of alleged fraud by members of the Somali community.

Oppression Breeds Resistance, Organization Sustains It

June 12, 2025 Black Alliance For Peace, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , ,
As community defenders, organizers, and residents resisted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Los Angeles this past weekend, the state has responded by calling in the FBI and Border Patrol SWAT units, utilizing Blackhawk helicopters to deliver munitions and military-grade equipment, and mobilizing the National Guard and Marines to quell the justified uprising. As our comrades in SoCal BAP have clearly stated, this is domestic warfare. The connection could not be clearer between the specific kidnappings orchestrated by ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in Los Angeles on one hand, and the broad militarization of our cities and neighborhoods on the other.

Milei’s Shock Therapy And The Workers’ Response

December 27, 2023 Juan C , Left Voice. , , , ,
Less than two weeks after President Javier Milei took office in Argentina, his term is turning out to be as convulsive as promised. His economic policy is a textbook example of shock therapy, and includes massive cuts to social spending, a drastic currency devaluation–with the consequent depreciation of wages–, the reduction of subsidies on energy and transport, and price liberalization. This program was accompanied last week by the implementation of a new “security protocol” aimed at suppressing social protest and penalizing those who mobilize to reject government policies. In this context, a mass mobilization to Plaza de Mayo last Wednesday, followed by spontaneous pots and pans protests in front of Congress, was the first show of strength by those who vow to resist the onslaught.

Activists Go On Trial For Protesting Power Grab In Honduras

September 14, 2021 Institute for Public Accuracy. , , ,
Currently in Honduras, medical anthropologist Adrienne Pine is closely involved with the Espinal and Álvarez trial. Pine said today: “This Monday and Tuesday, former political prisoners Edwin Espinal and Raúl Álvarez will go on trial in Honduras on trumped-up charges related to their participation in protests during the 2017 Honduran electoral crisis. “Protests had erupted nationwide after the blatant theft of the November 2017 presidential elections by Juan Orlando Hernández, who had previously orchestrated an illegal takeover of the country’s Supreme Court in order to obtain permission to run for a consecutive second term, in violation of the Honduran constitution. State security forces shot into crowds.
