US Moves to Deport Son of Prominent Figure in Iranian Revolution
Federal agents arrested a man whose mother served as a spokeswoman for the Islamist embassy captors during the hostage crisis that began in 1979.

[shareable 30-day gift article]
April 11, 2026A State Department statement on the matter did not accuse the three arrested of any specific unlawful or harmful acts but stated that the #Trump administration “will never allow America to become a home for foreign nationals tied to anti-American terrorist regimes.”
Mr. Hashemi is the son of Masoumeh Ebtekar, who served as the English-language spokeswoman for the #Islamist embassy captors during the 444-day hostage crisis. Mr. Hashemi had been the subject of recent reports in conservative media outlets that portrayed him as living comfortably in Los Angeles while working as a psychology professor.

Somali Americans hounded by ICE and rightwing ‘influencers’ on edge in #Ohio: ‘I’m scared to go outside’
ICE launched ‘Operation Buckeye’ and ‘influencers’ claimed Somalis are running fraudulent businesses after #Trump repeatedly used racist language against group
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/09/ohio-ice-somali-communityfrom #TheGuardian
March 9, 2026#ICE agents have been turning up in cars around Somali-owned businesses and schools that teach children from immigrant backgrounds. Rightwing so-called “influencers”, including leaders at #TurningPointUSA, have followed suit.
Since then, Somali-owned businesses have struggled to attract customers and schools have closed due to low attendance fueled by the presence of federal agents and anti- #immigrant provocateurs.
Today, the #Somali community in #Columbus, which numbers around 60,000 people, is still reeling from the fallout.

ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: ‘They didn’t care'
Juanita Avila later helped expose ICE’s ‘arrest first, justify later’ tactics in a lawsuit that won a major victory for #immigrants’ rights
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/06/ice-arrest-oregon-shop-ownerfrom #TheGuardian
March 6, 2026The moment 19-year-old Emely Agustin spotted the group of masked #immigration agents tackling a woman face down on the pavement, her heart dropped.
She saw the woman’s red jacket.
“Oh my fucking God. That’s my mom!” she screamed.
It was the morning of 5 November in Cottage Grove, #Oregon, and masked officers with #ICE had dragged Juanita Avila out of her van. The agents pinned her down as she cried out for her daughter, who started filming. Juanita, a legal permanent resident, had her green card in her pocket, but officers handcuffed and detained her.

Trump’s Concentration Camp Build-Out Includes Nearly $40 Billion for Warehouse Conversions
“Germany’s concentration camps didn’t start as instruments of mass murder, and neither have ours,” wrote talk show host Thom Hartmann recently. “History isn’t whispering its warning: It’s shouting.”

Feb. 13, 2026President Donald #Trump’s anti-#immigration agenda has supercharged opposition in cities where he has deployed federal agents to conduct raids, and communities in states including New York and Missouri are already working to block the next step the Department of Homeland Security plans to take in its push for mass #deportations: acquiring massive warehouses across the country to use as #immigrant detention centers.

Nearly 30,000 Minnesotans Trained to Monitor ICE Occupation
Federal Gov’t Tries to Defuse Resistance with Cosmetic Changes
https://world-outlook.com/2026/02/07/nearly-30000-minnesotans-trained-to-monitor-ice-occupation/from #WorldOutlook
Feb. 7, 2026This activity is coupled with mass #protests that have included rallies by tens of thousands and walkouts by high school students after federal goons murdered in cold blood two of these volunteer observers — #US citizens #ReneeGood and #AlexPretti. In response, the #Trump administration is trying to diffuse the growing resistance through cosmetic changes.
On February 4, White House “border czar” #TomHoman announced that the Dept. of Homeland Security (#DHS) would reduce by 700 the number of agents deployed to #Minnesota. State officials, #immigrant rights and community groups, and those involved in resisting the DHS “Operation Metro Surge” since early December reacted with skepticism.

A ‘Terrifying Line Is Being Crossed,’ Warns #Minneapolis Mayor as More ICE Horror Stories Emerge
In an interview with the New York Times, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey described “marauding gangs of guys just walking down the street indiscriminately picking people up.”
https://www.commondreams.org/news/mayor-jacob-frey-interviewfrom #CommonDreams
Jan. 31, 2026According to a Saturday report in the #NYT, concern over #ICE’s brutality has grown to such an extent that many #Minnesota residents, including both documented immigrants and #US citizens, have started wearing passports around their necks to avoid being potentially targeted.
CNN on Friday reported that ICE has been rounding up #refugees living in Minnesota who were allowed to enter the US after undergoing “a rigorous, years-long vetting process,” and sending them to a facility in Texas where they are being prepared for #deportation.

ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into wall triggers tension at a #Minnesota hospital
https://apnews.com/article/immigration-enforcement-minneapolis-hospitals-32cd5ca61d495e155d43b7cfd5e563b9from #TheAssociatedPress #AP #APNews
Updated 10:12 AM EST, January 31, 2026Intensive care nurses immediately doubted the word of federal #immigration officers when they arrived at a #Minneapolis hospital with a #Mexican #immigrant who had broken bones in his face and skull.
#ICE agents initially claimed Alberto Castañeda Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall,” according to court documents filed by a lawyer seeking his release.
But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the 31-year-old’s brain, said three nurses familiar with the case.

We Stand with Congresswoman #IlhanOmar
Trump’s Anti-#Somali Bigotry Behind Physical Attack on #US Representative
https://world-outlook.com/2026/01/30/we-stand-with-congresswoman-ilhan-omar/from #WorldOutlook
January 30, 2026The congresswoman did not cower behind the lectern. She instinctively lunged at her attacker with defiance and a raised fist. The shock from the assault notwithstanding, she quickly composed herself and continued her talk, brushing aside efforts by her staff and security who tried to persuade her to retreat.
“I’m built that way,” Omar said calmly as she left the community room at Urban League Twin Cities after her event, reminding a CNN reporter that she was a survivor of war.
Faced with such racist bullying, Omar showed the value of dignity and determination. All those resisting the #Trump-inspired anti-#immigrant terror can learn from her conduct. She stood tall and channeled her ire into her message.

“I’m built that way,” Omar said calmly as she left the community room at Urban League Twin Cities after her event, reminding a CNN reporter that she was a survivor of war.
Faced with such racist bullying, Omar showed the value of dignity and determination. All those resisting the #Trump-inspired anti-#immigrant terror can learn from her conduct. She stood tall and channeled her ire into her message.

ICE Murders 2nd Minneapolis Volunteer Observer in Cold Blood
Outrage, #Protests Against Terror by Federal Gov’t Spread in Minnesota
https://world-outlook.com/2026/01/26/ice-murders-2nd-minneapolis-volunteer-observer-in-cold-blood/[written by activists in #Minneapolis]
from #WorldOutlook
Jan. 26, 2026#MINNEAPOLIS, #Minnesota, January 25, 2026 — Tens of thousands of protesters, as many as 50,000 by some estimates, marched through the streets of this city on January 23. It was a historic day of peaceful, often buoyant show of resistance against the federal govt's crackdown on #immigrant workers and efforts to intimidate anyone protesting this terroristic invasion across the state.
The promise of a calm Saturday disappeared shortly after 9 a.m. the next morning, January 24. That is when half a dozen #ImmigrationAndCustomsEnforcement (#ICE) and #BorderPatrol agents held down #AlexPretti and pumped 10 bullets into his body, killing him in cold blood.

Amid Funding Fight, #BernieSanders Says Unmask ICE, Repeal $75 Billion Giveaway, and More
“ICE is out of control, ignoring the law and our Constitution. Congress must vote NO on any additional funding for DHS,” the senator argued as House progressives issued similar demands.
https://www.commondreams.org/news/funding-for-dhs[article gives a full round-up of various demands of Congressional Democrats.]
from#CommonDreams
Jan 26, 2026The senator’s demands largely align with the reported demands of Senate Democrats, with whom he caucuses, as well as those of House progressives.
“Senate Democrats will not allow the current DHS funding bill to move forward,” the chamber’s minority leader, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), said in a Monday statement. “Senate Republicans have seen the same horrific footage that all Americans have watched of the blatant abuses of Americans by #ICE in Minnesota.”

CBP Agent Guns Down #Minneapolis Nurse: Video Analysis
Breakdown of video obtained by #DropSiteNews showing #CBP’s killing of #AlexJeffreyPretti on Saturday.
https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/customs-border-patrol-agent-kills-minneapolis-nurse-video-analysisMeghnad Bose, Rana Roudi, and Ryan Grim
Jan 24, 2026Close-up video footage, obtained by Drop Site, shows one agent push a person to the ground and then deploy a chemical irritant twice on the 37-year-old Pretti, who had gone to help the person pushed. Around 8 agents then swarm and wrestle him to the ground. One of the officers then visibly unholstered his gun and fired multiple close-range gunshots at Pretti, a #Minnesota resident who was reportedly on the scene as an observer. There are 10 gunshots heard in all—at least five of them were fired at Pretti from a distance, while the person holding the camera shouts, “What the fuck did you just do?”

#Minneapolis Live Updates: Man Killed by Federal Agents Was Holding a Phone, Not a Gun
Videos analyzed by #NYT appear to contradict federal accounts of the shooting. The man, an ICU nurse, was an American citizen with no criminal record, the city police chief said.

Jan. 26, 2026The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office said it had joined #Minnesota state officials in filing a federal lawsuit on Saturday night “seeking to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.”
John Mitnick, who once was the head attorney at the #DHS in the first #Trump administration, criticized his former agency on Saturday night. “I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty,” he wrote on social media.

Jan. 23, 2026Thousands of protesters shut down parts of #Minneapolis-St. Paul on Friday as hundreds of businesses closed their doors, and workers and students stayed home to demand an end to the sweeping #immigration crackdown that has roiled the #TwinCities for weeks.
The action on Friday, which unfolded in subzero temperatures, was the most widespread and organized demonstration since federal agents arrived more than six weeks ago. It was aimed at pressuring the federal government to pull thousands of its agents from the streets.

Jan. 24, 2026Federal #immigration agents have broken windows and dragged occupants out of their vehicles. They have forcefully tackled people to the ground. They have pushed and shoved protesters, and deployed pepper spray directly in their faces.
For weeks, residents have documented the scenes unfolding as federal agents pursue President #Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota. The videos have circulated widely and intensified outrage and fear among many Minnesotans.
Marty Kurcias, 76, who was protesting at the airport on Friday, said the aggressive treatment he has seen of Minnesotans was jarring. “It can’t go on like this,” he said. “We don’t abide by cruelty or violence.”

Pepper-Sprayed While Pinned Down: A Searing Scene Provokes Outrage

Jan. 23, 2026There was the American citizen dragged out of his home in subzero weather in his underwear. And the detention of a 5-year-old boy wearing a Spider-Man backpack and a hat with floppy ears drew outrage from school officials.
But photos of a #BorderPatrol agent squirting pepper spray in the face of a man who was being pinned down by fellow officers on Wednesday searingly captured why the ongoing #immigration operation has been met with furious resistance on the streets of #Minneapolis.
“No one looking at this image can seriously claim this is about public safety,” said Mayor Jacob Frey.... “It should alarm every American because if it can happen here, it can happen anywhere.”
