Hello. Have you made a #capitalist uncomfortable?
Welcome to being a #terrorist in #America. A mom made a website tracking money flowing to the armed thugs shooting people. To #DHS, that is “anarchist extremism”, according to a secret intelligence bulletin DHS sent to local and federal law enforcement in February, targeting Berlin’s website. The nationwide alert was issued by the #Philadelphia PD; make it make sense.
DHS used the same alert for Berlin’s website as for domestic terrorists. In the past, DHS has used code HSEC SIN 8, (Homeland Security Standing Information Need 8) to flag information on ISIS beheading videos and pipe bombs in cities.

“ We know that it is millionaires and billionaires who have made life so hard for working people in this country — not undocumented immigrants.”
when the demonstration thinned, retaliatory actions began
A #GEOGroup employee/private security contractor deliberately struck a protester with his car; she was taken to the hospital. Soon after, ICE agents pepper sprayed the protesters who remained at the site.#DelaneyHall #ICEout #labourmovement #migrantworkers #solidarity

This month, #NewJersey sued #GeoGroup for refusing to allow #state #health inspectors full access to its #DelaneyHall facility, in #Newark, where the state says detainees have staged hunger strikes to protest being fed spoiled or rotten food & not being given access to basic #hygiene products. Geo’s lawyers have said in court filings that only #ICE can grant state inspectors access to the facility [wrong, #Congress can too].

#ICE Secretly Hauled #MahmoudKhalil to #Louisiana as Retaliation, Lawyers Allege
By moving the campus #activist to a new jurisdiction, ICE disrupted court proceedings and limited his legal access, his attorneys say.by Jonah Valdez, March 11 2025,
"Mahmoud Khalil’s wife watched as agents from the Department of Homeland Security handcuffed her husband and whisked him away from their New York City apartment in an unmarked vehicle on Saturday evening.
Agents ignored the pleas of Khalil’s wife who tried to show them legal papers proving her husband was a green card holder. They wouldn’t heed her requests to share where they were taking him, according to court filings. Eventually, one of the agents offered a terse response: Check the local immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan."By next morning, however, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainee locator indicated Khalil was no longer in New York. Instead, it showed him at the Elizabeth Detention Center in New Jersey. When Khalil’s wife visited the jail, she was turned away.
"Without warning to Khalil’s wife or his immigration attorney Amy Greer, who the same morning had filed a petition to challenge her client’s arrest as a violation of his First Amendment free speech rights, ICE agents had transferred Khalil to a different facility. This time, they moved him thousands of miles south of his New York home to a facility in Louisiana. It wasn’t until Monday morning that Khalil’s exact whereabouts were updated in the ICE online system: the #LaSalleDetentionFacility in #JenaLouisiana, a #PrivateJail operated by the #GEOGroup.
"Attorneys for Khalil allege the move from the New York metropolitan area to Louisiana was a '#RetaliatoryTransfer' intended to restrict his access and to lawyers and family, and position what has grown into a closely watched #FirstAmendment case in a jurisdiction more friendly to the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant policies.
"Three days after his detention, Khalil still has not been charged with a crime. The Department of Homeland Security has said it arrested Khalil, a lead negotiator for Palestine solidarity protesters at Columbia, for having “led activities aligned to Hamas.” President Donald Trump, who campaigned on deporting pro-Palestinian protesters, pledged that Khalil’s arrest is 'the first arrest of many to come' and that his administration would continue to target for deportations 'more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity.'
"Although a Manhattan federal court ordered a temporary halt preventing the Trump administration from immediately deporting Khalil, attorneys remain concerned for his well-being and ability to access proper legal counsel. In a motion filed Monday evening by attorneys from the Center for Constitutional Rights and the Creating Law Enforcement Accountability and Responsibility project at the City University of New York School of Law, attorneys seek to reverse the ICE decision and to transfer Khalil back to New York."
