  1. #ACLU atty Wang said that the legal focus should be on the newborn: “The question that the #14thAmendment asks is whether the #US born #child is subject to US jurisdiction when they’re born.”

  2. After more than an hour of arguments from the #Trump admin [Trump left as defense began], Cecillia Wang, a lawyer with the #ACLU, is presenting arguments on behalf of a class of people challenging the #ExecutiveOrder curtailing #BirthrightCitizenship. She is a birthright citizen herself.

  3. Many of the arguments in today’s case go back to the Supreme Court’s 1898 ruling in the case of Wong Kim Ark, which said a US born child of Chinese nationals was a citizen.

    In that ruling, Justice Horace Gray wrote that #14thAmendment “affirms the ancient & fundamental rule of citizenship by birth within the territory. That, he wrote, is “including all children here born of resident aliens.”

  4. #SCOTUS is taking up one of the term’s most consequential cases∶ Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder on #BirthrightCitizenship, declaring that #children born to parents who are in the #US illegally or temporarily are not US citizens.

    #Trump is in attendance. He’s the first
    sitting president to attend oral arguments at the nation’s highest court.

  5. @huntingdon @Nonilex Especially since cowardly #MichaelFlynn dropped his attempt at #intimidation in his case against #JimStewartson ,afraid of what discovery would establish for the records.

  6. #Federal #law bars deploying federal “troops or armed men” to polling places, except to repel “armed enemies of the United States.” #Elections are run by #states, despite #Trump’s calls to “nationalize” #voting in certain places.

    “Sending #ICE or any federal agents to interfere in elections or intimidate voters would be unlawful, & I am confident that courts would step in,” said Wendy Weiser, VP for #democracy at the Brennan Center for Justice.

  7. #SteveBannon suggested #ICE agents’ presence in airports is a "test-run" ahead of the 2026 #midterms

    The high-profile deployment of #Immigration & Customs Enforcement agents to airports has renewed support on the right & fear on the left about the possibility of ICE going to the polls in November.

  8. A quotation from James Thurber

    America must learn that humor, whatever form it may take, can be one of our strongest allies, but it cannot flourish in a weather of fear and hysteria and intimidation.

    James Thurber (1894-1961) American cartoonist and writer
    Essay (1958-12-07), “State of the Nation’s Humor: ‘On the Brink of Was,'” New York Times Magazine

  9. Federal Agents Are Intimidating #LegalObservers at Their Homes: “They Know Where You Live.”

    #Immigration authorities in #Minnesota have identified legal observers by name and address, and in some cases showed up at their homes.

    by Austin Campbell
    March 5 2026, 5:53 a.m.

    "Former Minnesota state Sen. #MattLittle was lawfully observing federal immigration agents in a Dakota County neighborhood last month when the drive took an unexpected turn.

    "As he followed their vehicles, they led him down a rural road that grew increasingly familiar during the 20-minute drive. Soon, Little told #TheIntercept, he realized where the federal agents were headed: his house.

    "When he approached his driveway, two SUVs were already waiting, Little said. Agents moved to block his car, claiming he had impeded their investigation and that local law enforcement would be called. No other officers came to his house, and Little was not cited or charged.

    " 'The intent was clearly to intimidate us. It’s stressful. It’s a little bit scary. But at the same time,' Little said, 'I just think it’s really important to be out there and monitoring what they’re doing.'

    "Interviews, sworn declarations, and video reviewed by The Intercept indicate that Little is not the only person subjected to this kind of #intimidation. Across the #TwinCities, immigration agents have identified legal observers by name and address, and, in some cases, led them back to their homes after they engaged in lawful monitoring of immigration activity. Legal observers say this pattern of behavior sends a clear and chilling message: The federal government knows who they are and where they live.

    "These encounters are unfolding amid a rapid expansion of federal #surveillance capabilities.

    "Immigration authorities have significantly expanded their use of mobile #biometric and surveillance tools in recent years. Officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement as well as Customs and Border Protection, for example, can use the smartphone app #MobileFortify to photograph a person’s face or capture fingerprints in the field and compare them against federal biometric databases, according to a Department of Homeland Security inventory of artificial intelligence technologies."

  12. RE: c.im/@cdarwin/1159114857177320

    The federal inquiry is focused on a federal statute,
    18 U.S.C. § 372,
    one U.S. official told CBS News,

    which makes it a crime for two or more people to conspire to prevent federal officers from carrying out their official duties through
    "#force, #intimidation or #threats."

    ⭐️Public criticism of federal policy has historically been treated as #protected #speech unless involving direct coordination or incitement to obstruct law enforcement.

  13. #NPR found #ICE and #DHS agents using unmarked #vehicles—some with no or fake plates—and #masks to conceal identities during #immigration #arrests. Critics call it unaccountable #enforcement amid Trump’s #massdeportation operations. #Covert #policing tactics are crossing the line from enforcement to #intimidation. Masked agents and unmarked cars normalize secret #arrests, breed #fear, and corrode #public trust—hallmarks of #authoritarian #policing.

  14. A quotation from Henry Commager

    A nation that silences or intimidates original minds is left only with unoriginal minds and cannot hope to hold its own in the competition of peace or of war.

  15. Senator #ChuckSchumer, #Democrat of New York & the minority leader, called the #WhiteHouse memo “an attempt at #intimidation.”

    #Trump has been firing #FederalWorkers since day one — not to #govern, but to scare. This is nothing new & has nothing to do with #funding the government. These unnecessary firings will either be overturned in court or the administration will end up hiring the workers back, just like they did as recently as today,”Schumer said in a stmnt.

  16. Mayor Wu: The Trump administration doesn’t deal in reason, logic, and law. It’s about retaliation, the threat, and outright disdain for the values of this Country. And when a Community stands up for morals, truth, and science…they become a target. (60-seconds)

  17. "Les expressions de #fragilité révèlent une stratégie calculée et délibérée consistant à insister sur le statut de victime lorsqu'on est mis en cause."

    L'indignation utilise la perte de la prérogative, exclusive et perpétuelle, de transgresser les limites des autres, mais de ne jamais accepter de voir ses propres limites transgressées.

    Randa Abdel-Fattah : (en) mondoweiss.net/2023/12/on-zion

    The probability that we may fall in the struggle ought not deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just; it shall not deter me.

    At Baraka’s hearing Wed, Demanovich sidestepped the judge’s demands to explain how prosecutors could have said last week they were fully prepared to take Baraka’s case to trial, only to drop the charges days later.

  22. #Boasberg & #McConnell are among at least 11 federal #judges whose #families have faced threats of #violence or #harassment after they ruled against the new #Trump admin, a Reuters investigation found.

    The broadsides are part of an #intimidation campaign directed at federal judges who have stood in the way of Trump’s moves to dramatically expand #PresidentialAuthority & slash the federal govt.

  24. Jean-Pierre #Bellon (professeur de philosophie qui a diffusé la #Méthode de #Préoccupation #Partagée) trouve dommage qu’on utilise le même mot « #harcèlement » à l’école et dans le monde du travail (et des adultes en général) 🧠🏫💼.

    Il préfère le mot « #intimidation », et je lui donne raison 👍. Même en anglais, cette distinction existe d’ailleurs clairement : *bullying* pour le harcèlement entre élèves, et *harassment* entre adultes.

    Il faut donc intervenir dès la moindre *intimidation* pour éviter qu’elle ne se transforme en *harcèlement*... ⏰🚨.

    Je crois n'avoir jamais harcelé… En revanche, concernant l’intimidation, puis-je en dire autant...? 🤔

  25. #Starbucks Just Gave Its #Employees a blunt message. Ready for more #corporate #intimidation ?

    Right….so this has nothing to do with you raising the #prices to the point that #customers don’t want to buy your #coffee anymore.
    #Consequence in this capitalistic environment? Lay offs ! Want to beat lay offs? Intimidation ! Work harder slaves ! Then maybe Starbucks will spare you your job…..oh by the way, this pro corporate article spins this as “masterclass leadership “ 🤣

  26. Que faire face à l'intimidation ? Essayez d'établir des limites stables

    1. ne vous agitez pas. (Le mouvement attire)
    2. ne cherchez pas à apaiser. (Toute concession est interprétée comme un signe de faiblesse et reçoit une poussée)
    3. fuyez vers un lieu sûr que vous pourriez tenir avec l'aide de tier·ces
    4. ne bougez plus. Établissez une frontière autour de vous. Affirmez vos limites. (Le harceleur finira par changer de cible)
    5. cherchez du soutien : tournez-vous vers une personne de confiance, ne vous adressez qu'à des personnes que vous sentez bien
    6. soutenez, encouragez, devenez complice, jouissez de la relation
