"On 26 July, the day before #TPS holders lost their work permits, CBS News reported that #ICE was targeting Springfield for a ‘potential arrest and #deportation blitz’.

"Now the blitz has arrived – by post. Over the past two weeks, scores of #HaitianImmigrants have received ‘call-in’ letters summoning them to ICE offices near Cincinnati, more than an hour’s drive away."

What is #Palantir? And why is this corporation so dangerous?

The company conducts #MassSurveillance in the service of #StateViolence, from #ICE’s #deportation machine to the #genocide in #Gaza.

By Kenny Morris, Feb 11, 2026

"#PeterThiel is a central co-founder of Palantir. He is a #billionaire venture #capitalist, conservative libertarian, and an early investor in Facebook who made much of his money from founding PayPal. According to Theil, 'I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.

[...]

How can we stop Palantir?

"#AFSC has joined a collective of #ImmigrantRights groups, #PalestineSolidarity organizations, #EnvironmentalJustice advocates, #LaborUnions, and many others working to hold Palantir accountable and stop its expansion into our lives. You can join us by finding or organizing a local group to pressure our universities, hospitals, and other institutions to cut all ties to Palantir.

"Visit our #PurgePalantir campaign page to:

- Contact the leadership of hospitals, universities, and other corporations using Palantir to urge them to #divest from the company.
- Find a map of Palantir offices, some of its corporate clients, and elected officials who have received money from Palantir. Use it to find where the company is in your community and plan an action to challenge it.
- Are you a health care worker? You can join organized nurses and doctors across the U.S. pushing the surveillance company out of our hospitals [and the #NHS in the #UK].

"Learn more about the company and join the growing campaign to stand up to Palantir."

#DemocracyNow - #ImmigrantRights Leader in #Maine Says #ICERaids Caused Panic & “Wave of Fear”

February 03, 2026

"Activists in Maine are resisting #ICE immigration raids in #PortlandME and #LewistonME that the #Trump administration dubbed 'Operation Catch of the Day.' The immigrant community in Maine has grown in recent years, with an influx of #AsylumSeekers and #Somali immigrants in particular. 'As a small state, community means a lot,' says #MufaloChitam, executive director of the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition, adding that her organization has received thousands of phone calls to their immigrant support hotline in recent weeks."

#AmnestyInternational Condemns Trump Threat of 'Very Heavy Force' Against #MilitaryParade #Protesters

The #FarRight Republican president, warned the #HumanRights group, "is continuing to send a clear and chilling message: #dissent will be punished."

Jon Queally
Jun 12, 2025

"The human rights advocacy group Amnesty International USA has issued a strong rebuke and warning in response to President Donald Trump's public threat to aim 'very heavy force' at law-abiding protesters voicing their constitutionally-protected #FreeSpeech during organized '#NoKings' protests scheduled for Saturday nationwide.

"In Tuesday remarks to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said he didn't know of any planned protests timed to coincide with his $134-million parade, taking place on his birthday, but said if there are, 'these are people that hate our country.'

" 'For those people who want to protest, they're going to be met with very big force,' Trump said, making no distinction between peaceful demonstrators and those who might be more confrontational or even violent.

" 'Now is a good moment to remind President Trump that protesting is a human right and that his administration is obligated to respect, protect, and fulfill the human rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly–not suppress them,' said Paul O'Brien, executive director of Amnesty International USA, in a statement on Wednesday.

"Trump's threat arrived after he overrode California Gov. Gavin Newsom to call up 4,000 National Guard troops in that state last weekend—and subsequently U.S. Marine forces—to confront large protests in Los Angeles that erupted in response to raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) agents and the violent arrest of union leader #DavidHuerta, president of #SEIUCalifornia.

" 'The militarized response to protests, including the deployment of the #NationalGuard and the #Marines in #LosAngeles, further escalates tensions and is a chilling preview of even more human rights violations that could be coming,' warned O'Brien. 'The U.S. military is not trained or equipped to police civilians. It increases the risk of excessive force, arbitrary arrests, and other violations of free expression and peaceful assembly. The Trump administration has already shown us that it will use any tool of the state, including ICE, police, and military forces to target #immigrants, #AsylumSeekers, #protesters, and anyone who dares to defend their rights.'

"Over 1,800 coordinated '#NoKings' protests are being organized for [#June14] to counter Trump's growing #authoritarianism and to coincide with the military parade Trump is throwing for himself in #WashingtonDC, at an estimated cost of $134 million.

"A new poll released Thursday shows a majority of Americans believe the parade is a waste of taxpayer money.

"Approximately 6 in 10 Americans also say Trump's parade is 'not a good use' of taxpayer funds, according to the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. That number of disapproving voters includes a number of people surveyed who have no particular criticism of the parade itself.

"Beyond the wasted cost, critics of the president warn that the more dangerous aspect of the parade is how the spectacle dovetails with Trump's broader authoritarianism, including his militarized response to dissent and weaponizing state power against his perceived political enemies.

" 'Make no mistake,' said Amnesty's O'Brien. 'President Trump’s response to protests has nothing to do with public safety. This is his administration’s way of stoking fear and suppressing opposition. By sending police, ICE, or the military into neighborhoods to silence voices calling for justice and human rights, President Trump is continuing to send a clear and chilling message: dissent will be punished.'

"Amnesty called for an immediate halt to Trump's 'militarized response' to public protest."

Rights group says at least 45 people arrested as people demonstrate against coordinated raids throughout the city

by Gabrielle Canon
Fri 6 Jun 2025

"The Department of Homeland Security conducted raids on multiple locations across Los Angeles on Friday, clashing with the crowds of people who gathered to protest.

"Masked agents were recorded pulling several people out of two LA-area Home Depot stores and the clothing manufacturer Ambient Apparel’s headquarters in LA’s Fashion District. Immigration advocates said the raids also included four other locations, including a doughnut shop.

"There has not yet been confirmation of how many people were taken into custody during the coordinated sweeps.

"At an afternoon press conference, #AngelicaSalas, executive director for the Coalition of Humane #ImmigrantRights, said at least 45 people were arrested without warrants.

" 'Our community is under attack and is being terrorized. These are workers, these are fathers, these are mothers, and this has to stop. Immigration enforcement that is terrorizing our families throughout this country and picking up our people that we love must stop now,' Salas told the crowd.

"The protest only grew as the afternoon wore on. By 6pm local time, hundreds of people assembled around the federal building in downtown Los Angeles, where those taken into custody during the raids are being held.

"Earlier in the day, armed agents clad in heavy protective and tactical gear, including some who wore gas masks, could be seen on video and through aerial footage pushing individuals and trying to corral large groups that congregated to challenge the raids.

"Smoke grenades were reportedly thrown near the crowds and pepper spray was used as the federal officers attempted to clear the area. As the demonstrations continued into the evening, videos showed officers firing less-lethal weapons toward protestors.

"Some people in the crowd attempted to block large #ArmoredTrucks carrying FBI agents as they departed. One person reportedly threw eggs at the vehicles.

"The Los Angeles fire department was called to the scene to administer aid to protesters injured by agents and officers, which included the president of the California branch of the Service Employees International Union (#SEIU), #DavidHuerta. The organization said in statement he was detained and called for his immediate release.

" 'We call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate #ICERaids that are tearing apart our communities, disrupting our economy, and hurting all working people,” Tia Orr, executive director of SEIU California said.

" 'Immigrant workers are essential to our society: feeding our nation, caring for our elders, cleaning our workplaces, and building our homes.' "

Wells residents split on town's decision to pause agreement with ICE

Brad Rogers,WGME
Thu, May 22nd 2025

WELLS (WGME) -- "This week, the Wells Police Department decided to freeze its partnership with ICE.

"The chief says it's in part because of a bill before the state legislature that would ban local police from working directly with ICE.

"The Wells Police Department is the only known department in Maine to sign a contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE.

"But the police chief says they never intended to arrest immigrants.

" 'I'd like to reiterate that at no point was there ever any intent on doing proactive immigration enforcement,' Wells Police Chief Jo-Ann Putnam said.

"The now-frozen agreement set off alarms among Wells residents and seasonal businesses that rely on young people with visas to fill summer jobs, including those from Central and South America.

"CBS13 spoke with a young Venezuelan woman who is working in Wells on an H-2B visa. She says even though she's here legally, she doesn't like the idea of Wells police working with ICE agents.

"Neither does Judy Pettinga.

"The Wells Beach store owner says all this does is frighten foreign workers who are here legally."

[...]

"A bill in Augusta would ban local law enforcement from working with ICE.

"#ACLU of Maine told the judiciary committee, 'The Trump administration is terrorizing immigrants and those perceived to be immigrants, regardless of their legal status.' "

#Maine - What we can VERIFY about the rights of business owner

#ICE agents need one of two things in order to enter private areas of a business: Permission from an employee, or a warrant from a court.

"In the first days of his second term, President Donald Trump has issued a number of executive orders designed to ramp up immigration arrests. During his campaign, Trump promised to launch a mass deportation effort. Recent #ICERaids have led some people to wonder whether agents can freely enter backrooms, kitchens, offices or other areas of a business not generally open to the public.

"A business has the right to prohibit ICE agents from entering private areas of the business. The exception is if the agents have a judicial warrant signed by a judge, but even those don’t give ICE agents blanket permission to search wherever, whenever and whomever they like.

"Anyone, ICE agents included, can enter public areas of a business without permission, according to the National Immigration Law Center (#NILC). Public areas include anywhere customers are allowed to be, such as the business’s parking lot, lobby or waiting area, or the dining area if the business is a restaurant. That does not include offices, kitchens or other areas usually off limits to customers.

"Being in a business’s public area does not give ICE the authority to stop, question or arrest just anyone, the NILC says. That still requires a warrant or cause.

"There are two types of warrants ICE agents may use when conducting enforcement actions at a business: #AdministrativeWarrants or #JudicialWarrants.

"Oftentimes, ICE agents will have an ICE administrative warrant. Administrative warrants are issued by a federal agency such as the Department of Homeland Security (#DHS) or ICE itself, and will be signed by an immigration officer such as an ICE agent or immigration judge, according to the Project South Institute for the Elimination of Poverty and Genocide."
