How Israel Is Drying Up The West Bank’s Most Fertile Farmlands

August 18, 2026 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. Educate! Farmers, Food and Agriculture, Israel, Israeli Occupying Forces, Palestine, State Violence

Agriculture in the northern West Bank could be on the verge of disappearing under the weight of Israeli land confiscation and the destruction of water wells. The Atouf area, in the Tubas governorate in the northeastern West Bank, and long known as the region’s “breadbasket,” has been targeted by settler attacks on its water lines. The settler raids complement the Israeli army’s ongoing infrastructure projects in the area, which have plowed through Palestinian farmlands and demolished wells. For four months, thousands of Palestinian farmers in the Atouf plain have been unable to access water for their crops after settlers began attacking and damaging water lines, according to local residents.

ICE Is Buying Up To $20 Million Worth Of Electric Shock Gloves

August 13, 2026 Sharon Zhang, Truthout. Educate! Electric Gloves, Police, State Violence, weapons

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is buying up to $20 million worth of gloves that can allow agents to issue a painful electric shock to force people into compliance, granting the agency yet another tool as it extrajudicially abducts and kills people across the country. According to a notice posted by the Department of Homeland Security on Monday, ICE is planning to spend between $10 million and $20 million on the gloves. The product is made by a Kentucky-based company known as Compliant Technologies LLC, and is called the “Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter,” or the G.L.O.V.E.

Twin Cities Bicycle Protest Calls For Justice For All Stolen Lives

July 28, 2026 Mikael Pensec, Fight Back! News. Resist! ICE, Immigrant Rights, Minneapolis, State Violence

Minneapolis, MN – On Saturday, July 25, the first riders of a protest on wheels started arriving at George Floyd Square before the sun had fully risen. By 10 a.m., the crowd swelled to around 100. Three days earlier, Corey Ruiz was fatally shot in Madison, Wisconsin. Nine days before that, Joan Sebastian Guerrero was brutally murdered by ICE in Maine, in front of his one-year-old daughter. And just the night before, word came through that the “drugs” DHS had used to smear Lorenzo Salgado Araujo had tested negative, too late to undo the damage of the accusation.

‘Misuse’ Of Crowd Control Weapons On ICE Protesters Led To Blindings

July 15, 2026 Jose Olivares, Portside. Educate! ICE, Injuries, State Violence, weapons

It’s been a brutal tactic deployed by local and federal law enforcement officials time and again over the past year: using teargas, rubber bullets and pepper spray to control protests outside ICE detention centers or during enforcement operations. Now, a new report lays bare the scale of the use of these crowd-control weapons during anti-immigration demonstrations across the US, including hundreds of incidents that resulted in lasting and traumatic injuries. The report and an interactive map was created by Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) and the Human Rights Center at the University of California, Berkeley (HRC) and released this week.

Committee To Protect Journalists Turns Its Back On Slain Palestinian Journalists

At a moment when Gaza’s journalists urgently need international protection and the solidarity of journalists and press freedom organizations worldwide—for their courage, their commitment, and their decision to remain in Gaza, sometimes sacrificing their lives to document the suffering of a population that has endured genocide for the past three years—the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has released a statement stating that some Gaza-based journalists will be removed from international protection lists because of alleged affiliations with military wings of Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

US-Backed Paz Sends Army Against Bolivia’s General Strike

June 22, 2026 Gary Wilson, Struggle - La Lucha. Resist! Bolivia, National Strike, Rodrigo Paz, State Violence

On June 20, Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz ordered the army into the streets. A 90-day state of emergency, signed that day, authorizes soldiers to clear the road blockades that workers, campesino organizations and Indigenous communities have held for nearly seven weeks. The decree claims to “restore order” in a country shut down by a revolt against austerity. That day, military and police units began tearing barricades off the highways around El Alto and La Paz. The order came less than a day after Paz signed a “pacification” agreement with the leadership of the Central Obrera Boliviana, the country’s main labor confederation.

The NYPD Reminds Us That Police Don’t Protect People, Only Power

April 19, 2026 Sophie Shepherd, Counter Punch. Educate! Human Rights, New York City (NYC), Police, State Violence

In a lawsuit complaining that the New York City Police Department failed to protect a woman from assaults by a Zionist mob, the city’s lawyers are arguing that police have no legal obligation to protect individuals from assault. This defense and its legal precedent are a salient reminder that police do not create safety. Despite billions in funding and never-ending calls for more training, more body cameras, more specialized teams – the police have consistently proven that they only function to uphold existing power systems, not to “protect and serve” our communities.

It’s Not Enough To Abolish ICE; We Have To Abolish The Police

March 1, 2026 George Yancey, Truthout. Strategize! Abolish ICE, Abolish Police, ICE, State Violence

Under Donald Trump, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has started appearing ever more like a private militia, unleashing brutal violence against families and displaying sycophantic loyalty to Trump as he mandates the dehumanizing treatment of immigrants. In the days since January, when federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti and 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, it’s not surprising that ICE has begun drawing even more frequent comparison to Hitler’s fascist Brownshirts, the paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party.

How To Build Emergency Response Systems For The Long Haul

February 25, 2026 Zia Kandler and Moira Birss, Waging Nonviolence. Organize! Community Defense, Governance, Mutual Aid, State Violence

Targeted state violence and rising fascism are being met with creative organizing by people in Minneapolis and across the country, from mass marches to neighborhood mutual aid to ICE watch foot patrols. These are all beautiful manifestations of resistance that have kept many people safe and demonstrated widespread repudiation of the Trump administration’s policies. Yet as state-sanctioned violence becomes more coordinated, normalized and national in scope, we must continue adapting our response systems to shifting needs.

In The Fight Against ICE, Kids Are On The Front Lines

On Saturday, January 31, my partner, Kyle, and our 14-year-old, Zinnia, joined a union-organized rally dubbed “Labor Against ICE” in Portland. Packed with union members and local groups, as well as families, children and elders, there were thousands of people and all the markings of a “peaceful protest.” After speeches from city councilmembers, immigration lawyers and community members, the rally then formed into a march to the ICE facility several blocks away. Within minutes, they were tear-gassed by federal agents. That night, I was at an event in Seattle, reading the messages pouring in.

Washington, DC - A Jan. 28 candlelight vigil at Department of Veterans Affairs headquarters in downtown D.C., one of many organized by National Nurses United, aimed to pressure the Senate to defeat the massive money bill funding the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) and the Border Patrol. Their agents killed VA nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis days before. “Stop the killing, stop the murders, stop the deportations, stop the raids and the white supremacy,” said local activist, Dante O’Hara, who organized speakers at the event. He’s an affiliate with the Federal Unionists Network, DMV.

Whom Is ICE Actually Recruiting?

January 28, 2026 Kali Holloway, The Nation. Educate! Accountability, ICE, State Violence, White Supremacy

The Department of Homeland Security recently boasted that it has hired more than 12,000 ICE officers and agents in just four months—a feat that merely required lowering standards, fast-tracking barely vetted recruits, and turning availability into the primary eligibility requirement. That’s an exaggeration, but hardly. More than doubling ICE’s ranks has meant cutting training from 13 weeks to six, raising the maximum age cap from 40 to none at all, scrapping the college degree requirement, and adding a $50,000 signing bonus.

20,000 Chicagoans Mobilize To Demand ICE Out Of Everywhere

Chicago, IL – Over 20,000 Chicagoans marched in downtown Chicago, Sunday, January 25, through the cold and heavy snow, in response to the brutal murder of Alex Pretti and the ongoing occupation of Minneapolis by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The protest, organized by the Coalition Against the Trump Agenda (CATA), demanded charges for Jonathan Ross and all DHS agents involved in murders, that Congress cut all funding to ICE, and an end to collaboration between the Chicago Police Department and ICE.

Stunning Crowds At Minnesota Day Of Strike Against ICE

Tens of thousands of Minnesotans chanting “No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here,” marched through downtown Minneapolis Friday afternoon to demand ICE leave the state. The massive demonstration in subzero temperatures was a central part of an economic shutdown that included strikes, arrests and civil disobedience, hundreds of businesses closing their doors, and rallies. The call for “no work, no school, no shopping” was put out publicly roughly 10 days ago by a coalition of unions, faith groups and community organizations.

One Minnesota Union Is Helping Members Survive The Federal Siege

Minneapolis, MN - When Feben Ghilagaber delivers food to fellow union members hiding from the thousands of federal immigration agents swarming Minnesota, the lights to their homes are often off when she gets there. “People are scared for their lives,” she tells me as we drive to UNITE HERE Local 17 office in Minneapolis, a labor union representing more than 6,000 workers in hotels, stadiums and convention centers in the Twin Cities metro area. It also represents many of the workers at the Minneapolis – Saint Paul International Airport and Ghilagaber, an airport food service worker and steward for the union, says the people she delivers food to “are sitting in the dark.”
