This story is wild, and goes to prove that ICE can’t be trusted, and Cops can’t be trusted, frankly nobody in the goddamn “public safety” sector who gets a gun, can be trusted.
TLDR:; During WW2, a French girl and an American GI fell in love. They were separated and went their own ways. In their 80s, they found one another again, and she moved to the US to marry her wartime love. So sweet, right?
He later dies, and then his son, who is a cop, forwards all the mail so she can’t get official documents, reports her to #ICE, where they do him a favor and drag an 86 year old woman into the cold in her nightgown in the dark of morning, shackle and handcuff her, and throw her in prison, where she’s been for weeks.
French government was finally able to secure her release.

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) just inked a $12.2 million contract for an artificial intelligence tool that claims to map out immigrants’ daily routines, habits, and real-time location and categorize them as potential threats, per procurement records reviewed by the Lever.
Dubbed “Project SAFE HAVEN,” the product is advertised by defense vendor Edge Ops LLC as a “question-based AI interface” that uses “persistent passive data collection” to map “patterns of life,” a surveillance tactic that ICE says will identify the “habitual locations, routes, and behavioral patterns” of its targets.
Additional features of the technology described in procurement documents include real-time location tracking and analysis that will categorize individuals and groups as affiliated with ostensible criminal organizations, such as gangs or cartels.

KCLU: Little boy who was sick and not eating in a notorious ICE detention center is back in Santa Barbara County
"...She said the boy is traumatized. And it's a trauma that he didn't have previously, because DHS agents forced him into a car seat and tied him up forcefully. Since then, he's had a terrible fear of car seats.
Mom and son were separated from his father and flown to Texas — the child still strapped in his car seat — and held at the notorious Dilley detention center, also known as South Texas Family Detention Center. ..."
The 2-year-old, who made international headlines last month when he fell ill in an ICE detention facility, is back home along with his mother as they await their asylum claim.

“Coachella performers are funding the MAGA movement
Coachella is run by Anschutz Entertainment Group, a subsidiary of The Anschutz Corp, which is owned by right-wing billionaire Philip Anschutz.

The #Trump admin plans to crack down on networks it claims help #pregnant #women lie on #visa applications in order to secure #US #citizenship for their US born babies, an issue that Trump has highlighted to justify his attempts to restrict #BirthrightCitizenship.
In an internal email sent Thursday & reviewed by Reuters, #ICE ordered investigative agents around the country to focus on a new “Birth Tourism Initiative.” The operation will purportedly seek to root out supposed networks that help pregnant foreign nationals come to the #US to give birth so their #children can receive #citizenship, it said.
#Trump, a “#Republican”, has kicked off an aggressive push to reduce both legal & illegal #immigration after retaking office in January 2025. His admin has used the threat of “birth tourism” as a rationale for attempting to restrict the Constitutionally granted right of #citizenship to #children born on #US soil.
Exclusive: #ICE launches new effort to uncover #US ‘birth tourism schemes’ despite the fact that #SCOTUS has yet to rule on the constitutionality of the #Trump #ExecutiveOrder on #BirthrightCitizenship & that a majority of the justices appeared skeptical of the admin’s arguments.
Watch this like a hawk. The result of this battle is going to be massively telling. Not just about Reddit (I personally don’t trust/use it), but about how this fascist regime reacts to resistance from big tech in general. And it will have a far-reaching impact.

After failing to obtain information through a summons issued to Reddit, the government reportedly issued a subpoena demanding that Reddit provide the information and appear before a grand jury in Washington, DC.
The Intercept described the subpoena today. “According to a subpoena obtained by The Intercept, Reddit has until April 14 to provide a wide range of personal data on one of its users, whom US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have been trying unsuccessfully to identify for more than a month,” the article said arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…

Almost immediately after an #immigration agent shot & wounded a #Venezuelan #immigrant in Minneapolis this winter, the #Trump admin cast the injured man as an attempted murderer & the agent as the victim of a brutal beating.
An autopsy showed that the man suffered dehydration & hypothermia after #BorderPatrol agents dropped him off on a cold night in Buffalo. Gov #KathyHochul condemned their actions as #cruel & #inhumane.

An attorney general had already imposed restrictions on how sheriffs and police can assist ICE, but advocates wanted those codified into law. Mikie Sherrill signed the bill this week.
The only possible reason I can think of that makes much sense to me is to prevent anyone examining the car carefully and discovering that the claim that Good hit Jonathan Ross with the car is a total lie.
#SteveBannon suggested #ICE agents’ presence in airports is a "test-run" ahead of the 2026 #midterms
The high-profile deployment of #Immigration & Customs Enforcement agents to airports has renewed support on the right & fear on the left about the possibility of ICE going to the polls in November.
Transportation Security Administration officials told ICE that a mother & daughter under a detention order had planned to fly domestically, federal documents show.
Ok y’all, #Trump is rolling his #paramilitary out to travel infrastructure, putting #ICE on the ground of some airports, with threats to roll it out to all. But, Dear Leader told his thugs to take off their masks at the #airport. You know what this means? I want every single person who has to use an airport to take pictures and add them to the ICE agent database.
Secondly: If you are not American, DO NOT TRAVEL HERE. It is not safe for you. It isn’t safe for us, but it’s really not safe for you. Boycott us like we are contagious.
