Know your ICE agent:
Being able to discern between a federally authorized ICE agent and a criminal kidnapper within seconds of first interaction is absolutely essential.
If your abductor is an ICE agent, you must obey, comply and submit. If your abductor is a criminal kidnapper, you are free to fight for your life.

Lisa Tate is a sixth-generation farmer in Ventura County, California, an area that produces billions of dollars worth of fruit and vegetables each year, much of it hand-picked by immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
"If you guys don't give me your name and badge number I'm gonna have someone call 911 and tell them you're impersonating [law enforcement]! Get the fuck out of here!"
And they did.
This happened yesterday at a gas station in #Irvine #California.
We of course DON'T know whether that was #ICE or random kidnappers and she is right they are impersonating law enforcement.
This brave woman shows us: the ICE Nazis are cowards and leave if you stand up to them.

#Trump sues #LosAngeles over #immigration enforcement
Trump's admin sued LA on Monday over policies limiting city cooperation w/federal immigration authorities, continuing a confrontation over Trump's #deportation efforts in the largely #Democratic city.
The lawsuit, filed by the DOJ, alleges that policies barring city resources from aiding in immigration enforcement ops or collecting info about individuals' #citizenship status violate federal #law.
Today in Labor History June 30, 1906: United States Congress passes the Meat Inspection Act and Pure Food and Drug Act in response to Upton Sinclair's novel, “The Jungle,” which exposed atrocious sanitary conditions in Chicago meat packing industry. Sinclair intended his book not only to bring attention to the public health threat of the squalid working conditions, but also to the racism faced by Chicago’s largely immigrant meat workers, as well as the corruption of both the politicians and union officials. However, the public was most outraged by the prospect of getting food poisoning from the rotten meat.

#DOJ announces plans to prioritize cases to revoke #citizenship
The *Justice* Dept is aggressively prioritizing efforts to strip some #Americans of their US citizenship.
DOJ leadership is directing its #lawyers to prioritize #denaturalization in cases involving naturalized #citizens who commit certain crimes — & giving DAs wider discretion on when to pursue this tactic, acc/to a June 11 memo published online.
Because of course.
The star witness against #KilmarAbregoGarcía was due to be deported. Now he’s being freed.
Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes is a three-time #felon who has been released early from federal #prison to a halfway house in exchange for his *cooperation* in the case.
Like Japan, Italy is becoming depopulated because of its low nativity rate. If only there were a way to get people of fertile age to come to Italy from some other part of the world!!!

"The masked agents pull up quickly. They jump out of unmarked vans or trucks. They wear blue jeans or battle fatigues. They approach Latino men, at times yelling and carrying assault rifles. When someone runs, they’re taken. When they don’t answer a question, they’re taken. When they can’t produce papers, they’re taken.
"Their families won’t know what happened to them. They’ll be shackled, whisked away to another state, forced to subsist for days on potato chips, apples, water, and the occasional cold sandwich. They’ll sleep on the floor with mylar blankets, without access to showers or even working bathrooms. These are not enemy combatants in a war zone, but people living and working in America’s second largest city."

#DOJ says it intends to try #KilmarAbregoGarcia on *smuggling*
#Trump’s *Justice* Dept said Thurs that it intends to try Garcia on federal smuggling charges in Tennessee before it moves to deport him to a country that is not his native #ElSalvador.
“This defendant has been charged with *horrific crimes*, including trafficking children, & will not walk free in our country again,” DOJ propagandist Chad Gilmartin told AP.

Sick
#DOJ has confirmed that once #KilmarAbregoGarcia is released, #ICE fully intends to begin removal proceedings to send him to a "third country," not #ElSalvador — the definition of #rendition.
There's no timeline for the process & the DOJ *lawyer* [those left are willing to go along w/ #EmilBove] claims it's not "imminent."

Insane
The #Trump admin filed a lawsuit against ALL 15 #FederalJudges in #Maryland over a #CourtOrder blocking the immediate #deportation of #immigrants challenging their removals, ratcheting up a fight w/the federal #judiciary over #Trump’s #ExecutivePower.
The remarkable action lays bare the admin’s determination to exert its will over #immigration enforcement as well as its exasperation w/ [the #law] judges who have blocked #lawless #ExecutiveBranch actions.

55-year-old Sae Joon Park has lived in the U.S. since he was seven years old. At age 20, he joined the U.S. army and was deployed to Panama. He was shot twice, flown back to the U.S., honorably discharged, and awarded a Purple Heart. But PTSD caused him to turn to drugs, and he became addicted to crack cocaine. After being arrested and missing a court appearance, he was charged with possession of a controlled substance and bail jumping, which scuppered his chances of naturalization. More than a decade ago, he got clean, moved to Hawaii to reunite with his children, and found work. Then yesterday morning, after a warning from ICE, he self-deported to South Korea, knowing that he will probably never see his 85-year-old mother again. " I can't believe that this is happening in America," he told @npr. "That blows me away, like a country that I fought for."
#Immigration authorities gave Sae Joon Park an ultimatum: Leave voluntarily or face #detention & #deportation.
For 55-yr-old US #Army #veteran Sae Joon Park, this was the hardest moment of his life. Not getting shot in combat. Not the years battling PTSD or addiction. Not prison. It was leaving the US, a country he called home for nearly five decades.
A federal appeals court ordered the return of another man deported to #ElSalvador in violation of a #CourtOrder. Jordin Melgar-Salmeron was deported on May 7, 30 minutes after the court ruled.

Stephen Miller’s Financial Stake in #ICE Contractor #Palantir Raises #Conflict Concerns

#Miller, who served as President Donald #Trump’s senior advisor on #immigration and homeland #security, disclosed owning between $100,001 and $250,000 of Palantir stock as of mid-March, according to financial disclosure forms obtained by the watchdog group. #Ethics experts told POGO that Miller’s dual role crafting enforcement policy and investing in Palantir, which provides “mission-critical” data services for ICE, could amount to a troubling conflict of interest.

Yet the world has been anything but peaceful lately, whether in the #UnitedStates, #Ukraine or the #PersianGulf. And the #FederalReserve gave the markets another reason for concern on Wednesday when it held #InterestRates steady.
