    "A U.S. citizen on her way to a medical appointment in Minneapolis was dragged out of her car and detained by immigration officers, according to a statement released by the woman on Thursday, after a video of her arrest drew millions of views on social media.

    "Aliya Rahman said she was brought to a detention center where she was denied medical care and lost consciousness. The Department of Homeland Security said she was an agitator who was obstructing #ICE agents conducting arrests in the area.

    "That video is the latest in a deluge of online content that documents an intensifying #immigrationCrackdown across the midwestern city, as thousands of federal agents execute arrests amid protests in what local officials have likened to a 'federal invasion.' "

  6. Shame these f*ckers out of office!

    #MAGA senator slams illegal immigrants as 'criminals' — then steps in to free ICE detainee

    Jennifer Bowers Bahney
    July 31, 2025 3:54PM ET

    "MAGA Sen. #JohnKennedy (R-LA), who has been a fervent supporter of Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts to deport undocumented migrants, reversed course when it came to one of his constituents, according to The New York Times.

    "Kennedy told Fox News on July 17, 'If you’re in our country illegally, you’re a criminal. Illegal immigration is illegal, duh.'

    "And yet, the senator's office recently asked the Department of Homeland Security to release 25-year-old #PaolaClouatre after two months in a #Louisiana #DetentionCenter, the report said.

    "Clouatre is a Mexican citizen and mother of two young children who is married to a U.S. #MarineCorps #veteran.

    " 'In an email on Tuesday morning, Christy Tate, the constituent services representative in Mr. Kennedy’s office, wrote to Mr. Clouatre to confirm that his wife had been released from ICE custody after her office had made a formal request to the federal agency,' the report said.

    "The email read in part, 'I am so happy for you and your family. We will continue to keep you, your family and others that are experiencing the same issues in our prayers.' [Because of you, Mr. Kennedy!!!]

    "Reporter Pooja Salhotra wrote that Clouatre came to the United States as a teenager 'to seek asylum with her mother and brother.' After her mother failed to show up for a court hearing in California in 2018, a judge issued a deportation order against the teen.

    "Now estranged from her mother, Clouatre said she didn't learn of the deportation order until earlier this year 'when she was already in the process of applying for a #greencard, the report said.

    "She was detained by ICE agents on May 27 shortly after giving birth, and while attending a 'routine appointment in New Orleans related to her application for a green card and #PermanentResident status,' according to the report.

    "During her incarceration, Clouatre's husband brought the couple's 9-week-old baby to the jail so she could breastfeed. [How Christian of them!] She is currently wearing an ankle monitor and awaiting a court date for her immigration proceedings."

  7. Private groups work to identify and report #StudentProtesters for possible #deportation

    “Now they’re using tools of the state to actually go after people,” said a Columbia graduate student from South Asia who has been active in protests and spoke on condition of anonymity because of concerns about losing her visa. “We suddenly feel like we’re being forced to think about our survival.”

    NEW YORK (AP) — "When a protester was caught on video in January at a New York rally against Israel, only her eyes were visible between a mask and headscarf. But days later, photos of her entire face, along with her name and employer, were circulated online.

    "'Months of them hiding their faces went down the drain!' a fledgling technology company boasted in a social media post, claiming its #FacialRecognition tool had identified the woman despite the coverings.

    "She was anything but a lone target. The same software was also used to review images taken during months of #ProPalestinian marches at U.S. colleges. A #RightWingJewish group said some people identified with the tool were on a list of names it submitted to President Donald #Trump’s administration, urging that they be deported in accordance with his call for the expulsion of foreign students who participated in 'pro-jihadist' protests.

    "Other #ProIsrael groups have enlisted help from supporters on campuses, urging them to report foreign students who participated in protests against the war in #Gaza to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency."

  11. #PineAndRoses #NewEngland #DSA protests #ICEDetentions

    Posted by #MaineDSA and Wes Pelletier | Mar 27, 2025

    "Last week, the #MaineCoalitionForPalestine organized a protest of ICE detention of #ColumbiaUniversity student leader #MahmoudKhalil. Since then, ICE has operated as the #Trump Administration’s #SecretPolice, abducting a growing number of immigrant organizers for exercising their right to #FreeSpeech and protesting the U.S.-sponsored #genocide in #Gaza. The list includes #RumeysaOzturk, #YunseoChung, #BadarKhunSuri, #MomodouTaal, #RanjaniSrinivasan, as well as #farmworker organizer #AlfredoJuarezZerefino. Maine DSA member and Portland District 2 City Councilmember #WesPelletier spoke at the Portland Mahmoud Khalil protest and DSA chapters around New England issued a joint declaration reprinted below against the ICE abduction of Rumeysa Ozturk.

    New England DSA chapters demand freedom for Rumeysa Ozturk

    "Yesterday, ICE agents abducted Rumeysa Ozturk, a graduate student and pro-Palestine activist at Tufts.

    "The kidnapping comes after almost 400 #ICEArrests in Massachusetts, as well as the #doxxing of Ozturk by the pro-Isreal website #CanaryMission.

    "ICE’s abductions—of Ozturk, Khalil, and many others—is an unprecedented attack on basic #CivilRights in the name of U.S. Empire, whether those detained are peaceful #PoliticalActivists or undocumented #migrants seeking safety, jobs, and a better life.

    "We must stand up against this brazen attack on #Palestine, #FreeSpeech, and the #RightToProtest.

    "We must stand in solidarity with our neighbors and communities under attack from Trump, ICE, and all agents of #imperialism.

    "Governor Healey, the courts, and the Democratic Party establishment are not coming to save us—we must mobilize, agitate, and organize in our workplaces and campuses to defend working-class rights.

    In Solidarity,

  12. The #FarRight Group Building a List of Pro-Palestine Activists to Deport

    #BetarUS said it has shared with the Trump administration a list of the “names of hundreds of terror supporters.”

    "This conflation of speech critical to #Israel with #antisemitism or support of Hamas will do little to protect Jews in the United States from hate, said #JonahRubin, with #JewishVoiceForPeace, a progressive #JewishAmerican group that advocates for #Palestinian #HumanRights."

    "The premise behind Trump’s more recent order is rooted in #ProjectEsther: a treatise by the authors of #Project2025. The document was billed as 'a blueprint to counter antisemitism' and offered strategies to target and silence critics of Israel, including deportation. A fact sheet about the executive order related by the Trump administration mirrored language from Project Esther and laid bare the order’s intent to 'cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses,' vowing to deport 'all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests.'

    "Such ideas are increasingly gaining purchase in conservative discourse. Pledges to deport supporters of Palestinian rights were a key part of the Republican Party’s platform. A congressional bill introduced last May called for similar measures.

    "#Academia is a key focus of Project Esther and Trump’s executive orders. While the most recent order instructs all agencies within the executive branch to take part in the crackdown, it encourages #surveillance in specific areas, such as #universities and even K-12 schools, where administrators are being told to monitor and report #InternationalStudents for possible deportation.

    "On Monday, the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights launched investigations into five schools — #ColumbiaUniversity; #UCLABerkley; #NorthwesternUniversity; #UniversityOfMinnesota, Twin Cities; and #PortlandStateUniversity — for #antisemitism, the first use of the executive order.

    "'Americans and college students that visit the United States should be able to protest the #Israeli government’s human rights violations in the same way that the United United Nations, the International Criminal Court [#ICC], #AmnestyInternational, #HumanRightsWatch, and other respected institutions have for the past several years, without fear of retaliation,' said Robert McCaw, a leader with the Council on American-Islamic Relations who heads the government affairs department. He decried the order’s fact sheet of peddling anti-Muslim terms such as 'pro-Jihad.'"

    "Trump’s efforts have inspired a grassroots campaign to identify possible targets for deportation. On #SocialMedia, groups such as #MothersAgainstCollegeAntisemitism and the #ChicagoJewishAlliance have shared links to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement tip line and called on people to report 'foreign students and faculty who support Hamas' and 'students on visas who are suspected of engaging in pro-terror activities,' respectively."
