"Tendo came to the United States in 2018 seeking political asylum after becoming a target of the Ugandan government for his organization’s civic education and voter registration work. On one occasion, he was abducted by armed men and says he was taken to a secret facility where he was interrogated, beaten, and tortured. Some of his fingers were cut off. Another time, Tendo says he was placed in an underground room for hours with a python snake.

"On July 16, around 50 protesters gathered at the Portland city council meeting space for a press conference and rally to demand Portland city council revoke the permit for the ICE Field Office at 4310 S Macadam Avenue in Portland. The press conference was organized by Revoke the ICE Permit, a coalition of groups organizing to get ICE out of Portland."

"Immigrant rights groups held a press conference July 22, calling for the shutdown of an ICE facility in the Chicago suburbs and demanding that local officials take action. When they attempted to deliver a letter detailing their demands to Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen Burke O’Neill, they were threatened with arrest."
"The Broadview ICE Staging Facility is located just outside of Chicago in suburban Broadview, and is meant to hold ICE detainees for 12 hours before they are transferred to a detention center. As ICE has continued its abductions in Chicago and the surrounding area, Broadview has been used to house without beds or proper meals for days."

What is really happening in #LosAngeles, by #DavidDayen (@ddayen):
“This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous.”

@AIF_Massachusetts #Maine is within the 100-mile "border zone" as well!
#MaineACLU Joins Lawsuit Against Trump Executive Order
January 21, 2025
"The ACLU of Maine is joining its New England counterparts to sue President Donald Trump over his order to end birthright citizenship.
"His order says the federal government won’t recognize the birthright of children born to parents who are in the country illegally.
"A statement from the #ACLU of Maine says birthright citizenship is guaranteed in the 14th Amendment.
"'If you’re born here, you are a citizen – period,' said the statement. 'No politician can decide who is American and who is not. The 14th Amendment guarantees the citizenship of all children born in the United States regardless of race, color, or ancestry. It was ratified in 1868, overturning the #DredScott decision that denied #BlackAmericans the rights and protections of #USCitizenship.'
"The order from President Trump was expected to receive immediate legal challenges from #CivilRights and #immigration activist groups."

#ACLU of #Maine sues Trump administration over birthright citizenship executive order
by Rachel Ohm, Portland Press Herald, Maine
Tue, January 21, 2025Jan. 21—"The American Civil Liberties Union of Maine has joined a lawsuit against the Trump administration over an executive order seeking to deny citizenship status for children born in the United States to non-citizens.
"The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in New Hampshire by a group of civil rights and immigrants' rights advocates, accuses the Trump administration of flouting the Constitution, congressional intent and longstanding U.S. Supreme Court precedent with the executive order the president signed Monday saying the government will no longer issue citizenship documents to the U.S.-born children of people who are in the U.S. either temporarily or unlawfully.
"The order would effectively end birthright citizenship, which is the longstanding principle that every child born in the U.S. is a citizen, for certain children. It relies on a different interpretation of the Constitution's 14th Amendment, which says: 'All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.'
"President Trump's executive order says citizenship is not automatic if a child's mother was not lawfully present. The order is not retroactive and applies only to persons who are born within the United States after 30 days from the date of the order.
"'Denying citizenship to U.S.-born children is not only unconstitutional — it's also a reckless and ruthless repudiation of American values,' said Anthony Romero, executive director of the ACLU and lead attorney in the case, in a written statement.
"'Birthright citizenship is part of what makes the United States the strong and dynamic nation that it is. This order seeks to repeat one of the gravest errors in American history, by creating a permanent subclass of people born in the U.S. who are denied full rights as Americans. We will not let this attack on newborns and future generations of Americans go unchallenged.'
"The ACLU, state chapters in #NewHampshire and #Massachusetts, the #AsianLawCaucus, #StateDemocracyDefendersFund and the #LegalDefenseFund, joined with the ACLU of Maine in filing the case.
"Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship was among dozens that he signed after being sworn in as president Monday. The order follows up on a key promise Trump made during his campaign. Other legal challenges to the order are also expected as experts have disputed whether Trump has the authority to unilaterally change the policy.
"This story will be updated."
