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.

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.

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.”

‘We Will Be Closed: ICE Out Of Minnesota’

January 22, 2026 Luis Feliz Leon, In These Times. Resist! General Strike, ICE, Minnesota, State Violence

What sparks a mass strike? An upsurge of tens of thousands of teachers in 2018 generated a “Red State Revolt” through a set of illegal strikes across West Virginia, Oklahoma, Arizona, Kentucky, and other states, challenging the austerity regime that locked in stagnant wages and underfunded health insurance. A leaked conversation among corrupt government officials triggered mass protests in 2019 that forced a pro-privatization governor to resign in Puerto Rico. An attempted political coup in 2024 by President Yoon Suk Yeol sparked an uprising to stop an authoritarian power grab in South Korea.

Minneapolis: Children Hospitalized After Van Hit With ICE Flash-Bangs

The father of three children who were hospitalized in Minneapolis on Wednesday night accused federal agents of launching flash-bang munitions and tear gas into their family van after they were caught up in protests against the Trump administration’s deadly immigration crackdown. “Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car,” Shawn Jackson told KMSP. “My 6-month-old can’t even breathe.” The explosions were strong enough to trigger the car’s airbags. “They were innocent bystanders driving through what should have been a peaceful protest when things took a turn,” Destiny Jackson, the children’s mother, explained.

When an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday, it was not the first time that federal officers have killed civilians since the Trump administration launched its aggressive immigration enforcement campaign. Federal officers have fatally shot at least three other people in the last five months, according to news reports reviewed by The Marshall Project. In September, Silverio Villegas González, a father originally from Mexico who worked as a cook, was killed while reportedly trying to flee from officers in a Chicago suburb, WBEZ reported.

Syrian citizens of the Alawite minority sect took to the streets on 28 December to protest against government violence and sectarian persecution, in line with a call made by the community’s religious leader a day earlier. Members of the minority sect protested in the Alawite neighborhoods of the central governorate of Homs, and in several towns and cities on the country’s coast, including Tartous, Jableh, and Latakia. Protests also erupted in Hama governorate, including in the city of Masyaf. Alawite Syrians held up banners reading “Federalism is the solution” and “the blood of Alawites is not cheap,” among other slogans.

What Really Happened In Portland Before Trump Deployed National Guard

November 9, 2025 Rob Davis and Steve Suo, ProPublica. Resist! Donald Trump, ICE, National Guard, Oregon, Portland, State Violence

President Donald Trump and officials in his administration say National Guard troops are needed in “War ravaged” Portland, Oregon, to protect a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement office that he described as being under siege. But a ProPublica review found a wide gap between the reality on the ground and the characterizations by the president and the Department of Homeland Security, which said ICE facilities like Portland’s were under “coordinated assault by violent groups.” We reviewed federal prosecutions and local arrests, internal protest summaries by the Portland Police Bureau, sworn testimony from local and federal officials as well as more than 700 video clips containing hours of footage posted to social media by protesters, counterprotesters and others.

The US And Israel: Tale Of Two Rogue Settler-Colonial States

October 31, 2025 By Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Donald Trump, Gaza, Genocide, Iran, Israel, Israeli Imperialism, Palestine, Settler colonialism, State Violence, US Imperialism, Venezuela

Over the last two weeks, images of starving Palestinians in a dystopian backdrop of bombed out buildings reflect the horrific reality of a terrain that has experienced the equivalent of six Hiroshima atomic bombs. It is a reminder that the genocide in Gaza continues even as the pathetic zealous characters surrounding the U.S. President spoke of a ceasefire, an end to the assault on Gaza, and Trump as the peace president. That cynical game was finally brought to an end with the unsurprising announcement by Benjamin Netanyahu, the indicted war criminal and Prime Minister of the ethno-supremacist apartheid state of Israel, that Israel will resume the bombing of the occupied Palestinian people.

Noboa’s Iron Fist Forces End Of CONAIE’s National Strike In Ecuador

After more than 30 days of demonstrations, roadblocks, military convoys, repression, clashes, marches, sit-ins, and more, the national strike called by the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) has ended. The strike was initially called to protest against the elimination of the diesel subsidy by the right-wing government of Daniel Noboa. Diesel is the most widely used fuel among farmers, peasants, and transporters, and it is also the cheapest. The CONAIE Statement A few days ago, negotiations between the government and CONAIE were suspended due to a lack of agreement and, according to the government, as a result of the continued roadblocks carried out by several Indigenous communities.

More Than 170 US Citizens Have Been Held By Immigration Agents

October 17, 2025 Nicole Foy, ProPublica. Educate! Detention, Human Rights, ICE, Immigrants, State Violence

When the Supreme Court recently allowed immigration agents in the Los Angeles area to take race into consideration during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned. “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States,” Kavanaugh wrote, “they promptly let the individual go.” But that is far from the reality many citizens have experienced. Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

October 14: National Call To Action In Memory Of George Floyd

October 13, 2025 the United National Antiwar Coalition. Resist! Charlie Kirk, George Floyd, Racism, State Violence

October 14 is not really about honoring Charlie Kirk. The white supremacists who control the government with the support of the super-rich want to prevent a reawakening of the movement catalyzed by George Floyd’s murder. This is what’s behind the deployment of troops on the streets in our cities and the racist war against immigrant workers. These reactionary forces are co-opting Kirk’s birthdate to strengthen white supremacy, anti-LGBTQIA2S+ bigotry, and war at home and abroad. They want the corporate media to focus on Kirk instead of genocide in Gaza; war plans against Venezuela; ICE raids and deportations; deploying troops in our cities such as Portland, Washington, DC, and Los Angeles; and preparing to declare martial law on a wide-spread basis.

From The Atlanta Race Massacre To Cop City: The AJC Incites Harm

July 16, 2025 Aja Arnold, Scalawag Magazine. Educate! Atlanta, Cop City, Media, Racism, State Violence

On Aug. 21, 2021, the editorial board of Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) published its support for "Cop City"—a then-proposed $90 million training facility for police and fire personnel; the cost of which has since ballooned to over $109 million, according to the most recently available reports. The Atlanta City Council had tabled a vote on a lease agreement for the proposed Cop City facility just days earlier after receiving tremendous opposition from residents, activists, and environmentalists. In its letter, which ran in the legacy paper's Sunday edition, the editorial board—whose members included Kevin Riley, the paper's editor-in-chief—argued that a "crime wave" necessitated the facility's quick approval and pleaded with the city council to revisit the vote as early as its next meeting.
