  2. In the wake of a hiring surge last summer, an official in charge of evaluating new recruits to #ICE issued a dire warning.

    The #Trump admin, he wrote in a memo, was cutting corners, violating the #law & fast-tracking unqualified, “improperly vetted” candidates into ICE’s ranks, part of a dangerous move that exposed the agency—& its law enforcement operations—to “grave national security risks.”

  7. I think it’s been said before /s, but #FuckTexas pardon my language—it’s just enough already; you eventually start to say it like it is…

  8. … “The concern here is that #ICE is going above & beyond to guarantee law enforcement does not have even the slightest risk of #liability for violating Americans’ rights while helping ICE arrest people,” said David Bier, director of #immigration studies at the Cato Institute, who has called on #Congress to make it easier to sue ICE agents for wrongdoing.

    Federal Agents Were Told #FBI Will No Longer Investigate ICE “Confrontations”

  11. #DavidBrouillette has a history of terrifying & #violent behavior, acc/to those relatives. They accuse him of attacking #women in his life over the years, & one shared a voicemail with the AP from last winter in which he told her that he thought someone should slit her throat.

    Brouillette’s troubling past further challenges how #DHS has vetted recruits as it went on a hiring spree to help carry out #Trump’s #immigration crackdown.

    The ICE officer who shot a Colombian man in Maine this week is an Army vet who has struggled with serious mental health issues since early childhood & never should have been given a #badge & #gun to #patrol #US streets, several of his close relatives told AP.

  13. The complaint cites the findings of the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner, which ruled Lunas Campos’s death a #homicide, saying that he died by asphyxiation. The finding of homicide does not imply intent to kill, but rather that the victim’s death was caused by another person.

  15. How tight is the #RightToProtest?

    From 418 arrests in 1977 to fresh clashes in Sydney: Debate over #Australia’s right to protest continues

    "What many may not realise is that the right to protest in Australia is not protected by one simple law. It’s implied in the constitution under freedom of political communication and exists under international human rights law, which Australia has agreed to uphold. Only #Queensland, #Victoria and the #ACT explicitly protect the right to peaceful assembly, freedom of association and freedom of expression. And laws protecting the right to peaceful protest in Australia can be limited."

    " 'The day of the political street march is over,' Joh Bjelke-Petersen declared. 'Don’t bother to apply for a permit. You won’t get one. That’s government policy now.'

    "A few weeks later, thousands of people defied then-Queensland premier Bjelke-Petersen’s proclamation and gathered in Brisbane for an #AntiUranium march.

    "Ian Curr remembers an intense, unrelenting heat on that day nearly 50 years ago. It was 'boiling hot', the long-time #AntiNuclear activist says. So hot that when protesters sat on the road, arms linked in passive defiance, it was 'not very pleasant' because the tarmac was scorching. Other memories emerge from the haze: lines of police, three and four deep, surrounding protesters; a woman with tears streaming down her face who had just heard her partner was arrested.

    "Fear swirled up spines and into the air. These were the years after the #Springbok tour #AntiApartheid protests had been violently suppressed.

    "That afternoon in October 1977, 418 people were arrested and Queensland’s 'RightToMarch' movement quickly entered a new era. #CivilLiberties demonstrations continued until the ban — originally enacted to curb a growing anti-nuclear movement — was lifted two years later.

    "Ross Gwyther was exhilarated seeing some 5,000 anti-nuclear marchers turn out that day. But the sensation was tempered by an 'intense fear because there’d already been many cases of #PoliceBrutality'.

    "These were extraordinary times, as the Fitzgerald Inquiry would later attest. For Gwyther and many of the #ratbags, #activists and #CivilLibertarians of Queensland it was a defining moment. That era in Brisbane radicalised a lot of people, Gwyther says, who embarked on a lifetime of 'political activism, both through parliamentary politics or by grassroots politics'.

    "These moments mark you, Curr says, turning to the events in Sydney this week. 'The people who saw that violence in Sydney, in 40 or 50 years, they will not forget it. In the same way I do not forget police brandishing batons and punching and throwing people into paddy wagons. It’s something you do not forget.'

    "In the aftermath of last Monday’s protest against Israeli President #IsaacHerzog’s visit in #Sydney, shaky, chaotic videos began to emerge online. A man lies on tram tracks, restrained by officers who punch him 18 times. #Protesters are pushed, they struggle to their feet, crowds stumble around them. Men bowed in prayer are wrenched from their worship by police. A grandmother is in hospital with a spinal injury. She says she feared being suffocated in a stampede as she lay on the ground in agony. She alleges she was pushed over by police."
