  8. "These protesters, who refuse to go silently into the night of American reaction, are the heroes of our age. They are the US equivalent of the Central and South American women who, for decades, took to the streets to draw attention to the disappearance of their loved ones. One day, if there is any arc of justice, they will be recognized as such."

  9. #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."

    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."

  10. #ICESucks agents use #PepperSpray and #SmokeGrenades to disperse LA #protesters

    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.' "

    West #Michigan counties refute sanctuary jurisdictions list

    by: Josh Sanchez
    Posted: May 31, 2025

    Excerpt:
    "News 8 reached out to DHS to learn what exactly led them to consider #KalamazooCounty as a '#SanctuaryJurisdiction.”

    "While a spokesperson did not provide specific reasons, they shared what some of the conditions could be.

    " 'Designation of a sanctuary jurisdiction is based on the evaluation of numerous factors, including self-identification as a sanctuary jurisdiction, noncompliance with Federal law enforcement in enforcing immigration laws, restrictions on information sharing, and legal protections for illegal aliens,' the spokesperson said.

    They added that the list will be regularly reviewed, updated and can change at any time." (!!!)

  12. Sounds like the Three Stooges are running the country!

    "Some communities don’t know why they were included

    "Officials in communities spanning from urban to rural and blue to red said the list doesn’t appear to make sense.

    "Jim Davel, administrator for Shawano County, Wisconsin, said the inclusion of his community must be a clerical error. Davel voted for Trump as did 67% of Shawano County.

    " 'We have no idea how we got on this list whatsoever right at this point,' Davel said. 'I think it was just a big mix up, probably some paperwork or something.'

    "Davel thinks the administration may have confused the county’s vote in 2021 to become a 'Second Amendment Sanctuary County' that prohibits gun control measures with it being a safe haven for immigrants. He said the county has approved no immigration sanctuary policies.

    "In New Mexico, Otero and Lincoln counties also made the list and also have Second Amendment sanctuary policies."

  13. Some #Colorado counties say they were shocked to be labeled '#SanctuaryJurisdictions

    Several Colorado counties are disputing their inclusion on a federal list of so-called sanctuary jurisdictions.

    COLORADO, USA — "Local leaders across Colorado are pushing back after the Trump administration published a list labeling dozens of cities and counties as 'sanctuary jurisdictions.'

    "The list, released earlier this week by the Department of Homeland Security, included 41 counties and 15 cities in Colorado.

    "Among them were communities where leaders have publicly supported President Trump’s immigration policies. Since its release, at least three jurisdictions — Weld County, El Paso County, and the city of Aurora — have successfully lobbied for removal from the list.

    " 'There was definitely a mistake made,' Otero County Commissioner Tim Knabenshue said. 'Constituents started calling us and saying, ‘What’s going on? We thought we weren’t a sanctuary county'.'

    "The list, titled Sanctuary Jurisdictions Defying Federal Immigration Law, does not have a consistent or legally recognized definition for what constitutes a sanctuary jurisdiction. It is generally associated with local policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Under an executive order signed by President Trump, jurisdictions identified as non-compliant could face cuts to federal funding."

    Read more about our recent update: Sanctuary Map Update: 170 Locations Added

    "The sanctuary jurisdictions are listed below. These cities, counties, and states have laws, ordinances, regulations, resolutions, policies, or other practices that obstruct immigration enforcement and shield criminals from ICE — either by refusing to or prohibiting agencies from complying with ICE detainers, imposing unreasonable conditions on detainer acceptance, denying ICE access to interview incarcerated aliens, or otherwise impeding communication or information exchanges between their personnel and federal immigration officers.

    "A detainer is the primary tool used by ICE to gain custody of criminal aliens for deportation. It is a notice to another law enforcement agency that ICE intends to assume custody of an alien and includes information on the alien's previous criminal history, immigration violations, and potential threat to public safety or security."
