A Pattern of Violence

Documenting #ICE Agents’ Brutal Use of Force in LA Immigration Raids

from #TheIntercept
Jonah Valdez
July 7 2025, 6:00 a.m.

"Agents have aimed firearms and sprayed chemical irritants at onlookers and protesters. They have launched tear gas and flash bang grenades into crowds. They have beaten the people they detain, struck them with batons, and restrained them face down in a prone position, pressing them into the pavement and restricting their abilities to breathe.

Agents often deployed these violent tactics against the targets of #immigration raids — people they presumed to be #undocumented #immigrants. In the majority of cases reviewed for this story, federal agents used force against U.S. citizens who were attempting to document raids or intervene by putting their bodies between the agents and their neighbors."

Los Angeles: Thousands Denounce ICE Raids in July 4 Protest

from #WorldOutlook
July 5, 2025

"The article below first appeared in the #LosAngeles Times on July 5, 2025. The protest the article describes was a fitting way to mark #US Independence Day, given the #Trump administration’s intensified workplace raids and #deportations of undocumented #immigrants. L.A. has been the epicenter of many such protests over the last month since the White House picked the city to launch its aggressive dragnet, carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement #(ICE) agents, targeting millions of workers across the country.

As a recent article published by the #WashingtonPost revealed, ICE arrests have more than doubled since Trump took office in January, compared to the same period last year."

Federal Agents Thought They Could Stay at #LA-area Hotels. Protesters Are Trying to Make Sure They Can’t

When federal agents checked into a #Pasadena hotel, they didn’t expect hundreds of protesters and a day laborers’ band — now the tactic that kicked them out is spreading across LA.

"The #NewYorkTimes reported that an internal email was sent on Thursday by Tatum King, a senior official with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE), to regional department leaders at Homeland Security Investigations, directing them to stop workplace #immigration enforcement actions unless related to criminal investigations.

“Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels,” King wrote in the guidance, according to the outlet."

Judge says US effort to deport Mahmoud Khalil on foreign policy grounds is likely unconstitutional

Updated 6:58 PM EDT, May 28, 2025

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge said the #Trump administration’s effort to deport #MahmoudKhalil because of his pro-#Palestinian activism at #ColumbiaUniversity likely violates the #Constitution.

In a lengthy order issued Wednesday, Judge Michael Farbiarz wrote the government’s primary justification for removing Khalil — that his beliefs may pose a threat to U.S. foreign policy — could open the door to vague and arbitrary enforcement.

"Then Khan Suri had to use the plane’s bathroom. He said the guards refused to unshackle his wrists.

“They said, ‘No, you have to use it like this or do it in your trousers,’” #KhanSuri recalled of the trip, taking him to a Louisiana detention center. “They were behaving as if we were animals.”"

‘Don’t yap to cops’: why Hasan Piker’s US customs story kicked off a backlash

from #TheGuardian #Guardian
Julia Carrie Wong
Sat 17 May 2025 09.00 EDT

"When #HasanPiker was stopped and questioned about his political views by US Customs and Border Protection (#CBP) agents at Chicago’s O’Hare airport last Sunday, the popular leftwing streamer thought he knew exactly what their motive was. “Obviously the reason for why they’re doing that is, I think, to try to create an environment of fear,” he told his legion of fans on a Twitch stream in which he described his ordeal. “To try to get people like myself … to shut the fuck up.”

But the decision by Piker – a 33-year-old US citizen – to entertain the agents’ questions for nearly two hours has some of the self-described socialist’s fans and allies questioning why he didn’t do just that."

"In this prison, [...], #ICE rents a section of the prison. And the section where I was, it was a mixture of three-quarters of people who have committed crimes before, and one-quarter of migrants who come in and out. And I was — my cell was C-38, the first cell in that C section where the migrants are. So, I saw waves of the migrants. Those are not just migrants. Those are the people who feed us, who plant our food, who harvest our organic, delicious #Vermont produce."

“We commend Logan for using this opportunity to demand an end to the bloodshed in #Gaza,” said Afaf Nasher, executive director of CAIR-NY, a Muslim civil rights organization. “We demand that NYU formally release Logan’s diploma, which he rightfully earned, and suspend any disciplinary proceedings against him.””

World-Outlook · In Graduation Speech, NYU Student Condemns U.S.-backed Israeli War in GazaOn May 14, Logan Rozos, a student at New York University (NYU), gave a brief but powerful speech during the graduation ceremony of Gallatin, a liberal arts school within NYU. In his remarks (transcribed by World-Outlook from the video of Rozos’ speech, and published in this post), the student condemned the U.S.-backed Israeli war on the Palestinian people in Gaza. NYU immediately announced it is withholding the student’s diploma as it pursues disciplinary actions against him, in the latest flashpoint between free speech principles and punishment for pro-Palestinian advocacy on U.S. college campuses.
