WTF!!! #Immigration Agents Deploy to #NewOrleans and #TwinCities, Seeking to Arrest Thousands
#DemocracyNow, Dec 04, 2025
"The Trump administration deployed federal Border Patrol agents across immigrant communities in the New Orleans area Wednesday, calling it '#OperationCatahoulaCrunch.' Gregory Bovino, a senior #BorderPatrol official who has been the face of President Trump’s #MassDeportation campaign, was seen patrolling the city’s #FrenchQuarter. A New Orleans resident told the Associated Press he watched agents arresting men outside a #HomeImprovementStore. The Trump administration says it’s seeking to arrest 5,000 people during the surge. It comes as Immigration and Customs agents have begun a mass arrest campaign in #Minnesota targeting #SomaliAmerican communities in the Minneapolis- #SaintPaul region. The raids follow a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday in which Trump called Somalis 'garbage.' Trump then doubled down on his racist rhetoric Wednesday."

Why Avelo Airlines isn’t in my flight plans and won’t be anytime soon
LAS VEGAS
The last two years, Avelo Airlines has provided a cheap, conveniently-scheduled option for short-haul flights from here to smaller California airports at the end of Black Hat–Santa Rosa in 2023, then Burbank last year. But this time, that startup carrier put itself out of consideration because of a new set of routes it flies that nobody should want to board.
In May, the Houston-based carrier began operating deportation flights for the Trump administration under a contract it signed with Immigration and Customs Enforcement in April. This is a deliberately cruel from of transportation, as ProPublica documented in an April report: Flight attendants for the charter airline Global Crossing Airlines reported that they were told not to provide more than the most basic medical care for detainees who were flown with their hands and feet in shackles, making any evacuation in an emergency difficult to impossible.
The union representing Avelo’s flight attendants raised the same concern in early April after Avelo inked its deal with ICE. “Having an entire flight of people handcuffed and shackled would hinder any evacuation and risk injury or death,” the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA’s statement read. “It also impedes our ability to respond to a medical emergency, fire on board, decompression, etc. We cannot do our jobs in these conditions.”
Whatever you feel about people who came to this country illegally, you should be able to recognize this treatment of them as an abuse of basic human rights. You should also know that the Trump administration’s obsession with mass deportation has led ICE to detain people with no criminal record whatsoever–including U.S. citizens.
Seth Miller, an aviation journalist who has occasionally loaned his expertise to my stories (also a poll worker like me, a woodworker like my brother, and since January, a Democratic representative in New Hampshire’s state house), decided to do something about that. He set up a site, AvelNo, and paid for two billboards near Avelo’s hub in New Haven, Conn., that ask travelers to stop flying Avelo until Avelo stops flying for ICE.
The airline responded by sending a cease-and-desist letter making the laughable allegation that the campaign, featuring a tweaked version of Avelo’s logo, infringed on Avelo’s trademarks and confused people. After Avelo persuaded the billboard operator to take down those signs, Miller filed a countersuit seeking a declaratory judgment upholding his First Amendment rights to criticize Avelo in those ways.
The airline has also offered insultingly shallow responses to inquiries by Connecticut Attorney General William Tong (D.) as it’s continued operating these deportation flights in planes painted in all white instead of its usual livery. I spotted one during a connection in Denver at the end of May and had to wonder about the condition of the human cargo inside that 737.
Last month, Avelo announced that it was exiting the West Coast entirely to focus on the East Coast–including a new route from Dulles to Tweed New Haven. But it doesn’t matter how many routes Avelo adds or how cheap its fares are, before fees to pick a seat and carry on or check a larger bag: That airline is dead to me until it stops treating the Trump administration’s human-rights abuses as a profit opportunity while trying to silence a fellow journalist for calling them out on it.

#Florida considers easing #ChildLabor laws after pushing out #immigrants
A new law under consideration in the state Legislature would roll back child labor laws to make up for a dwindling labor pool.
By Ja'han Jones
March 27, 2025, 12:15 PM EDT"As Florida officials enable Trump’s #MassDeportation policies, lawmakers in the state are looking to children to take on some of the jobs that have typically been done by immigrants.
"Making its way through the state Senate is a new law, Senate Bill 918, that aims to loosen child labor laws and allow teenagers to work overnight shifts.
"As CNN reported: 'The state’s legislature on Tuesday advanced a bill that would loosen child labor laws, allowing children as young as 14 years old to work overnight shifts. If the new law is passed, teenagers would be able to work overnight jobs on school days. They are currently prevented from working earlier than 6:30 am or later than 11 pm per state law.'
"#SB918 also 'includes a number of changes including eliminating working time restrictions on teenagers aged 14 and 15 if they are home-schooled and ending guaranteed meal breaks for 16 and 17 year olds,' CNN reported.
"Florida Gov. #RonDeSantis backs the law and has defended the idea of teenagers and college students working these jobs. DeSantis also explicitly linked the effort to the loss of immigrant labor. Speaking about the consequences of state verification laws at an event with border czar #TomHoman, the governor said, 'Yes, we had people that left because of those rules, but you’ve also been able to hire other people. And what’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now?'
"In recent years, several states — many of them led by #Republican governors — have rolled back child labor laws. This map from the Economic Policy Institute illustrates the spike in states rolling back these laws from 2021 to 2024. Back in 2023, for example, #Arkansas Gov. #SarahHuckabeeSanders signed a bill that made it easier for companies to hire children without getting consent from their parents. One month earlier, The New York Times published a bombshell report about the exploitation of immigrant children in #factories operated by some of the most well-known companies in the U.S.
"That story should have spurred a nationwide push to strengthen child labor laws. Instead, states like Florida are going in the opposite direction, weakening such laws in part to deal with the fallout from the conservative movement’s demonization of immigrants. They’re essentially using child labor to paper over the gaps left by their draconian immigration policies.
"#Project2025, the far-right playbook for Trump’s second term, specifically calls for rolling back #HazardRegulations around child labor. The text claims, 'Some young adults show an interest in inherently dangerous jobs' and argues that 'with parental consent and proper training, certain young adults should be allowed to learn and work in more dangerous occupations.'
"Even as child labor laws are being rolled back, the Trump administration is working to gut social services, including funds that help provide school lunches to children and programs, like the supplemental nutrition assistance program, that help feed poor families. And if those cuts stay in place, they may leave American families with few alternatives to sending their children to work to keep food on the table."

#MaineACLU Denounces ‘Cruel’ Use of #NewHampshire #FederalPrison to Hold #ICEDetainees
By Edward TomicMarch 11, 2025
"The #Maine American Civil Liberties Union (#ACLU) has issued a statement denouncing the use of a New Hampshire federal prison by U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain suspected illegal aliens.
"Last month, media outlets began reporting on a leaked memo, signed Feb. 6, that indicated ICE was intending to use #FCIBerlin, a medium-security prison in Berlin, N.H., to hold immigration detainees in custody.
"That memo noted that the units at FCI were not currently available due to there being a 'substantial amount of preparation and resources' needed before the prison could accept detainees, such as additional funding for staffing, food, utilities, clothing and other items.
"The memo also indicates that the federal Bureau of Prisons or warden at each locally designated prison may approve or reject a request by ICE to hold an ICE detainee for any reason, such as for lack of space, or medical, mental health, safety or security reasons.
"ICE lodges immigration detainers against unlawfully present noncitizens who have been arrested on criminal charges or who the agency has probable cause to believe are deportable from the U.S.
"'The government should not be using federal prisons to support the president’s #MassDeportation efforts,' said Carol Garvan, legal director of the ACLU of Maine, in a Monday statement.
"'The federal government itself acknowledged that FCI Berlin would require a ‘substantial amount of preparation,’ yet just weeks later they have already begun detaining people there,' Garvan said. 'We have strong concerns about the #inhumane treatment of people in ICE custody, and we will not stand by while our region is used to carry out these cruel policies.'"

Trump allies circulate #MassDeportation plan calling for ‘processing camps’ and a private citizen ‘#army’
The group, led by #Blackwater veteran #ErikPrince, has close #Trump ties.
By Dasha Burns and Myah Ward
02/25/2025 05:55 AM EST"Prince declined to comment, and the other contractors and former immigration officials listed as key personnel in the document also declined to comment or could not be reached.
"The founders of the new special entity called #2USV have a long history with the U.S. government. Blackwater was formed by Prince in 1996 to provide training services to law enforcement, military personnel and other government agencies. It gained widespread attention for its work in Iraq and Afghanistan, providing security services for U.S. officials and military personnel, with critics viewing its rise as a result of the U.S. military’s overextension in the Middle East.
The military contractor came under scrutiny in 2007 following the #NisourSquareMassacre, when #Blackwater contractors opened fire and killed 17 Iraqi civilians and wounded 20 others — raising questions about oversight and accountability of private contractors. Several contractors were charged with manslaughter, and four were convicted in 2014. Trump pardoned them at the end of his first term in December 2020.
"Trump’s pardon was just one example of the influence of Prince’s family during the first Trump administration. #BetsyDeVos, Prince’s sister, served as the president’s #Education secretary, while Prince used his Trump connections as he chased business ventures in the U.S. and abroad.
"In 2018, he reportedly helped raise money for an effort to spy on progressives and Democratic organizations opposed to Trump." [As well as #DAPL #WaterProtectors!]

#DonaldTheDeplorable has promised to use #ICE agents under #ThomasHoman to conduct #MassDeportation. They will be the ‘#American #Gestapo.’
Do these ICE agents know what red-blooded #Americans in our #GreatestGeneration did to #Gestapo agents during #WorldWar2 ? 🤔

No, #JimAcosta, #Trump's #MassDeportation plan is NOT in contrast to #Republicans like #Reagan, who funded the Central American Civil wars (a major factor in the continued immigration from there), and Eisenhower, whose admin carried out #OperationWetback the largest, race-based deportation in US history which swept up citizens and non-citizens alike.
He is right in line with decades, if not a century, of #GOP policy.
