Contesting #Surveillance Infrastructure on #IndigenousLands
by #OpheliaRivas, #CaitlinBlanchfield, and #NinaKolowratnik
"The broad slope and rounded crest of O’ks Tak’am Do’ak outline the profile of a woman sitting and facing the west. Her name is O’ks Ta’kam. She is part the O’odham origin story, passed down through oral history. She sits there vigilant, a warrior protecting, and will warn the people when a catastrophic event will occur. When this event comes, she will stand and gather the smallest creatures in her skirt to protect them.
"The mountain forms part of the Tak’Va’Vak range which cuts through #TohonoOodham land, joining peaks like Han’a-mek and Ma’mke-mad. These mountains are known as a place to gather sweet fruits from the chu-chues (organ pipe cactus). They are home to caves, springs, and seasonal water holes. Each year ceremonies and hunts take place all across the Tak’Va’Vak, and trails lead through the mountain passes, connecting the springs at A’al Va’pai (Quitobaqito) to O’odham villages in Sonora, and leading all the way to the salty Ge-Ka-ch’k (Sea of Cortez). The mountains hold deer, mountain rams, javalina. They hold burial places. Medicines grow there. In the evening they are especially beautiful, bathed in crimson.
"The Tak’Va’Vak range also forms one border of the Tohono O’odham Nation. The boundary runs along the ridge line and separates the reservation from the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, a United States national park to the west.
"The border with the #NationalMonument is one of three that divide Tohono O’odham Nation from the #UnitedStates; the reservation’s southern border is with #Mexico. It is this border that dominates the others—both in its real effects and in media representations—and with good reason, especially in the last decades, and acutely in the present moment. It separates the Tohono O’odham in Sonora from those in Arizona, dividing the people; and its securitization has brought violence and destruction to O’odham lands on both sides in different ways. Yet these two borders—one between nation states and one between reservation and national park—work together: they are part of the same process of colonialism and dispossession that have been constricting O’odham life for hundreds of years. The construction of the US-Mexico border is intertwined with the expropriation of #IndigenousLand and the subsequent creation of #NativeAmerican reservations as much as it is with United States expansionism and policies of exclusion. More than that, the US-Mexico border, and the many weapons, technologies of surveillance, and #BorderPatrol officers that comprise it, is an extension of the United States’ ongoing, violent, and racialized campaign to contain and assimilate Indigenous peoples—it is a settler colonial border. But as Salt River Pima-Maricopa scholar #FantasiaPainter reminds us, the #borderlands are not yet settled, and they are unsettled: this is because of the refusal of Tohono O’odham and other #IndigenousPeoples to see and accept their lands as not their own."

Apparently, after the #ICE agent told his ex-wife he shot #JohanSebastiánGuerrero, she doxed him to the press! Good for her!
Also, this pretty much sums up the kind of folks that ICE is hiring... "Ashley Brouillette [the ICE agent's wife] told a reporter that she wanted to speak publicly because she had previously reported concerns to his superiors in the military about #DavidBrouillette’s mental health."
ICE agent who killed man in #BiddefordME identified as former Maine law enforcement officer
An ex-wife told the Press Herald that David Brouillette called her and admitted he was the ICE agent who shot Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.
7/16/2026
Excerpt: "The federal immigration agent who shot and killed a 25-year-old Colombian man in Biddeford has been identified as David Michael Brouillette.
"Brouillette, who is 37 and lives in Manchester, was identified by an ex-wife as the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who shot #JohanSebastiánDuránGuerrero on Monday.
"Ashley Brouillette told the Portland Press Herald in a phone interview Thursday afternoon that her ex-husband called admitting to the shooting and defending his actions. The Press Herald, the first news outlet to report David Brouillette’s identity, reviewed a screenshot of incoming calls that Ashley Brouillette said she received from her ex-husband via his current wife’s Facebook account on Wednesday.
" 'He was asking me to lie for him and to cover for his character,' Ashley Brouillette said. 'I told him that I was not going to lie for him. And then he tried to say that it was a justified shooting because the guy tried to hit him with his car.'
"She said she has seen videos of Brouillette on the scene of the shooting and told him: 'Nowhere in there does it show that this man charged at you with a car.' "

Man killed by semi after fleeing from #immigration officials in #Florida
Death of unidentified 28-year-old man marks third immigration enforcement-related death in one week
José Olivares
Tue 14 Jul 2026Excerpt: "A person died during an encounter with federal immigration officials on Tuesday morning in Florida, a state highway patrol spokesperson confirmed, marking the third death in one week linked to immigration enforcement operations.
"Officials with #HomelandSecurityInvestigations (#HSI), which is a component of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE), had an 'encounter' with four men in a vehicle in the parking lot of a convenience store along a busy road in #SaintAugustineFL, the highway patrol spokesperson said. As the four men fled from the agents, one of them ran into the busy road and was struck by a semi truck. The person died at the scene.
" 'The pedestrian was struck by the tractor trailer in the right lane and sustained fatal injuries on scene,' said Master Sgt Dylan Bryan, a Florida highway patrol spokesperson, in a statement. 'The tractor trailer immediately stopped and attempted to render aid to the victim.'
"Tuesday morning’s death marks the third immigration enforcement-related death in one week, as ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) face significant backlash and public outcry following two shootings in Texas and Maine respectively.
"The Florida highway patrol referred all questions to ICE. #DHS and ICE did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
"The statement did not clarify whether the person who died was the target of an arrest operation by the HSI agents.
"#BorderPatrol officials may also have been present at the scene, according to a homeland security source. An image from the scene of the crash shows a border patrol vehicle present at the site."

#Protestors in #ScarboroughME call for #ICE to leave #Maine, demand action from leaders
A coalition of immigrant advocates, local leaders and concerned residents are holding an "emergency protest" after ICE agents shot and killed a Colombian man in Biddeford on Monday.
About 200 people gathered in front of the ICE facility in Scarborough a day after federal agents shot and killed a man in Biddeford.
Updated: 11:38 AM EDT Jul 14, 2026
by Francis FlisiukSCARBOROUGH, Maine — "A group of about 200 local activists, elected officials, community organizations and faith leaders are holding an 'emergency protest' outside the Scarborough ICE facility a day after the shooting death of a Colombian man in #BiddefordME.
"On Monday, 26-year-old #JoanSebastianGuerrero was shot and killed by ICE, leaving behind a wife, 3-year-old child, and sister.
"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says an ICE officer 'fearing for public safety' [BULLSHIT!] shot and killed the driver. It happened as agents were watching a home of someone they believed was in the country illegally and has a final order of removal from the country.
"Protestors called for the removal of all ICE agents in Maine and the release of all people detained by federal agents.
" 'The governor has to issue a proclamation, saying that ICE is not allowed in our state, and the Attorney General should direct the State Troopers to be filing criminal charges against the murderers in our community,' said @Todd , one of the organizers of the protest.
"Representatives from more than 20 organizations attended the protest including: #MaineYouthPower, Maine Small Businesses Association, Maine #DemocraticSocialists of America, the Maine #WomensLobby, #MaineCoalitionForPalestine, the #MaineGreenParty, #MainePRIDE, #MaineTransnet and the Maine #AFLCIO."

Say his name... #JoanSebastianGuerrero . The latest victim of #ICE.

This from one of my friends here in #Maine [source has been redacted] with information about the young man #ICE murdered in cold blood in #BiddefordME.
"Hello, good day. It's unbelievable that we emigrate from our country because of the insecurity, and then something like this happens. | knew and was friends with the person murdered by ICE because it was murder. He was a young worker and never did anything wrong. He just went out to work like everyone else. He left behind a wife and a 3-year-old daughter, all thanks to this racist government. It's unbelievable that this happens here. I've been living here for 5 years and | have all my papers in order. | pay taxes like everyone else. I've never made a single mistake. I'm grateful to this country and this state that has given me everything. Most of the people I've met are excellent people, so | can't explain that hatred and that deep-seated racism in their hearts. May God bless Sebastian. Much strength to his family. May God have him in his holy glory."

#Trump Calls His Enemies Terrorists. Does That Mean He Can Just Kill Them?
From boat strikes to killings in the streets of Minnesota to NSPM-7, the White House leans on the word “terror” to justify its violence.
Nick Turse, February 2 2026
" ' #Terrorist ' is the word that the Trump administration employs to describe the victims of its most egregious acts of #StateViolence.
"President Donald Trump has used the word 'terrorist' to justify the #ExtrajudicialKillings of civilians in the #CaribbeanSea and #PacificOcean. And his deputies used it to explain away the killings of #AlexPretti and #ReneeGood in Minneapolis by federal agents." 'Earlier this morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a kinetic strike against positively identified Tren de Aragua #NarcoTerrorists,' Trump wrote following the initial boat strike on September 2, 2025. He said the attack 'occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters.'
"Secretary of Homeland Security #KristiNoem said that Good and Pretti were guilty of '#DomesticTerrorism.' And top White House adviser #StephenMiller used similar language to describe both.
"These killings were conducted thousands of miles apart by different agencies in very different contexts. But the connection between them could be more than semantic."

Live updates: #BorderPatrol commander #GregBovino and some agents expected to leave #Minneapolis, AP source says
Edited By BRIDGET BROWN, BERNARD MCGHEE, LUENA RODRIGUEZ-FEO VILEIRA, CARLEY PETESCH and CURTIS YEE
Updated 4:44 PM EST, January 26, 2026"A senior Border Patrol commander and some agents are expected to leave Minneapolis as early as Tuesday, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
"The departure of Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino, who has been at the center of the #Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement surge in cities nationwide, comes as President Donald Trump dispatched border czar #TomHoman to Minnesota to take charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.
"The person familiar with the matter was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the operation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.
"Bovino’s departure marks a significant public shift in federal law enforcement posture amid mounting outrage over the fatal shooting of 37-year-old ICU nurse #AlexPretti by Border Patrol agents.
"His leadership of highly visible federal crackdowns, including operations that sparked mass demonstrations in Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte and Minneapolis, has drawn fierce criticism from local officials, civil rights advocates and congressional Democrats.
"Criticism has increased around Bovino in the last few days after his public defense of the Pretti shooting and disputed claims about the confrontation that led to his death."

#StandingRock and #Sisseton Wahpeton #Lakotas Seized by #ICE in Minnesota
#NativeAmericans are being detained throughout the United States illegally. Protests continue after the murders of #ReneeGood and #AlexPretti by federal agents in Minneapolis.
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Jan. 25, 2026
"The Standing Rock Lakota Nation reports that a tribal member is being detained after being seized by ICE in Minnesota. Another #Lakota, Sisseton Wahpeton #Oyate, was arrested by ICE. He was located safe, but bruised. He was standing near the site where Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, was murdered by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday. The Sisseton tribal member was among those present who was arrested. He was released without being charged with any crime.
"Other witnesses standing near the site of the crime, the murder of Alex Pretti, say they fear for their lives, and have gone into hiding. Federal agents are reported hunting down the #witnesses to arrest them.
"Northern Cheyenne President Gene Small in Montana reports back from the Minneapolis Indian community."

Heavily armed immigration agents descend on #MacArthurPark in #LosAngeles
By Melissa Gomez, Rachel Uranga, Brittny Mejia, Richard Winton and Ruben Vives
July 7, 2025 12:16 PM PT"Dozens of immigration agents, some on horseback, others carrying rifles in armored vehicles, swept through MacArthur Park on Monday in an extraordinary show of force at the heart of Los Angeles’ #immigrant community.
"Heavily armored #BorderPatrol officers with a fleet of white minibuses partially blocked the streets surrounding the park, which has become a source of crime and drugs in the area in the last few years. #Activists with megaphones were able to warn locals at the park before the contingent arrived, according to police sources.
"The move comes days after President Trump signed a budget that will provide a mass infusion of funds to the Department of Homeland Security to ramp up its immigration enforcement to levels unseen before in the United States. Los Angeles has become the poster child of Trump’s mass deportation plan, as more than 1,600 people have been arrested between June 6 and 22.
"The agents appeared to arrive around 10:30 a.m. after amassing at nearby locations. Once they were at the park, they were met with crowds of people screaming 'get the f— out!' and 'get out!' #MayorKarenBass also showed up to the park, which sits just west of downtown Los Angeles. Activists, who have been on high alert for weeks, appeared to be prepared to deploy lawyers to the scene.
"At some point, Assistant Chief Patrol Agent David Kim handed his cellphone to Bass. Speaking to the other person over the line she could be heard saying, 'You’re getting ready to leave? Can you leave ASAP?'
"Demonstrators began to chant, drowning out her conversation. When asked to comment, Bass said the federal immigration agents needed 'to leave and they need to leave right now, they need to leave because this is unacceptable.'
"When asked who she was talking to on the other end of the line she said it was 'the head of customs.'
"Bass handed the phone back to a U.S. Border Patrol agent. Shortly afterward, she boarded a black SUV and left the area.
"It’s unclear if anyone was arrested during the sweep.
" 'This was just one big, perverse publicity stunt,' said #RonGochez, a member of #UniónDelBarrio, an independent political organization advocating for immigrant rights and social justice. 'It was just to show force, it was just to take pictures.'
"The chaos on #WilshireBoulevard around MacArthur Park had mostly calmed by 11:30 a.m., though a few protesters and members of the news media lingered afterward.
"Mikema Nahmir, 28, said he was out for his morning walk at 11 a.m. when he saw two women running down the street yelling that '#LaMigra' was at MacArthur Park.
"Nahmir joined the group of #protesters who chased and yelled after the #military-style trucks. At one point, he said, someone from the truck shot out an #irritant toward him and another protester.
" 'L.A. is ours, this is our city,' Nahmir said. 'This is what my morning walk turned into. They’re terrorizing our neighborhood.'
"Live video from the scene Monday morning broadcast on social media showed a line of white vans that have been used to transport arrestees as well as several agents on horseback. Agents cleared the scene by 11:20 a.m. and it was not immediately clear how many people they had taken into custody.
"U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Greg Bovino, who has been leading the operations on the ground in Los Angeles, was present during the operation.
"Bovino, who is based near the U.S.-Mexico border along with others in the Trump administration, was sued last week by immigrant rights groups seeking to block what it calls an 'ongoing pattern and practice of flouting the #Constitution and federal law' during immigration raids. They say raids have targeted individuals based on race, lack #DueProcess and some practices are akin to #kidnapping rather than legal enforcement. A hearing is set for later this week in federal court.
"Asked for comment on whether any arrests had been made, a senior DHS official, said, 'We don’t comment on ongoing enforcement operations.' "
