Why We Have to Fight Back Against ICE Protesters’ Terror Convictions
Since his first inauguration, Trump has been throwing charges at protesters and seeing what sticks. He always failed — until now.
Natasha Lennard, March 17 2026
Excerpt: "It started on President Donald Trump’s very first day in office in 2017. Over 200 #InaugurationDay #protesters were mass arrested and charged with hefty riot and conspiracy felonies for simply being present and wearing black at a rowdy demonstration.
"Since then, the government has sought and failed to convict left-wing activists on thin, unconstitutional claims of collective guilt.
"Just as the J20 prosecutions, as the inauguration cases were known, fell apart, so too did cases accusing dozens of participants in the Atlanta-based #StopCopCity movement of #DomesticTerrorism, #racketeering, and conspiracy.
"It became a pattern of sorts. Prosecutors on both the federal and state level throwing extreme and overreaching charges at leftists, based on infirm theories of collective liability, aiming to paint #antifascist, #AntiRacist movements as criminal terrorist networks. The evidence marshaled in these cases was consistently no more than typical #FirstAmendment-protected activity, like making protest signs, raising bail funds, or being present at a demonstration. The cases drained movement energies and resources.
Again and again, though, they failed."This was the pattern repeated in the malign, overreaching cases against protesters in #FortWorthTX. The #AntiICE activists had mounted a demonstration at a U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement jail in nearby #Alvarado.
There were consistencies with other anti-protest cases. There had been some illegal activity outside the #PrairielandDetentionFacility last July, and a police officer was shot. The government latched onto these circumstances to build its strategy of criminalizing dissent through guilt by association."Even in conservative Texas, I didn’t think a jury would buy the government’s case that these defendants were 'North Texas Antifa Cell operatives' — an organization fabricated whole cloth by the Trump administration — who had orchestrated an elaborate ambush of the ICE facility.
" 'Most people looking at this case are still stuck on the shooting aspect, but the jury decided the shooting was beside the point,' a member of a support group for the defendants told me. 'The verdict is that a normal #NoiseDemo deserves to be called terrorism and people should spend potentially the rest of their lives in prison. The implications of this are obvious, and people should know that the DOJ is going to try this again.' "

#ICE enforcement action leads to #protest, violent clashes in #SouthBurlington, #Vermont
by Derek Brouwer, Liam Elder-Connors, Zoe McDonald, March 12, 2026
"A tense, day-long standoff outside a South Burlington, Vermont house ended Wednesday night with federal immigration agents removing three people inside and a series of violent clashes between police and hundreds of #activists who tried to impede the apprehension.
"It marked the first major confrontation between protesters and federal immigration authorities in Vermont. Federal law enforcement deployed #TearGas and #flashbangs on a normally busy street in the state’s second largest city to disperse the activists who had surrounded their vehicles. Roughly 60 local and state law enforcement officers were also on scene, though the departments sought to distance themselves from ICE’s conduct.
"The incident began when a man fled Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who had been surveilling a Dorset Street residence where he was staying.
"According to an ICE affidavit, the subject of the warrant was Deyvi Daniel Corona-Sanchez, a Mexico native who was removed from the United States in 2022, and later illegally reentered the country. In January, Corona-Sanchez was arrested by Middlebury police and charged with drunk driving, the affidavit says.
"Following a multi-vehicle crash, Corona-Sanchez escaped to a house on Dorset Street, authorities said.
"A growing number of protesters and police assembled outside throughout the day as immigration authorities waited for a criminal warrant to enter and arrest him.
"A neighbor, Richard Landsman, said an Ecuadoran family with two children had lived in the house for roughly a year. At one point in the afternoon, people helped a child leave the house; they were driven away.
"When the warrant came through after roughly nine hours, federal agents approached the front door with #TacticalGear and weapons drawn. They were supported by #VermontStatePolice troopers.
"Police wrenched away protesters blocking the front entrance and ICE agents broke down the door. Federal agents removed three people from inside, forcing them into an unmarked car. They attempted to drive off, but protesters linked arms and blocked the street. Confrontations ensued, and the agents eventually managed to drive off by running over a median and exiting via a driveway."

Dozens gather in protest outside #ScarboroughME #ICE facility
U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, who visited an #ICEFacility in Massachusetts on Thursday, stopped by the protest Friday afternoon.
Drew Johnson, February 20, 2026
SCARBOROUGH — "#Protesters gathered outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility here on Friday to voice dismay over the agency’s practices in Maine and elsewhere.
Nearly 100 people — including U.S. Rep. #ChelliePingree — had gathered along #MansonLibbyRoad by the protest’s 3:30 p.m. start time, according to a reporter’s count."Protesters chatted, held signs and flags, and waved as drivers honked their horns. Organizers lined the street with caution tape to designate where demonstrators ought to congregate and to keep them out of the roadway.
"Pingree, D-1st District, complimented demonstrators on their signs and stopped to chat with some and answer questions.
" 'Even though the surge has slowed down here in Maine, we still have a lot of activity,' Pingree said."

#Google Fulfilled #ICE Subpoena Demanding #StudentJournalist’s #Bank and #CreditCard Numbers
#AmandlaThomasJohnson didn’t know how much information ICE requested in a subpoena until months later. Google never gave him a chance to fight it.
Jessica Washington. February 10 2026
Excerpt: "Amandla Thomas-Johnson had attended a protest targeting companies that supplied weapons to Israel at a #CornellUniversity job fair in 2024 for all of five minutes, but the action got him banned from campus. When President Donald Trump assumed office and issued a series of executive orders targeting students who protested in support of #Palestinians, Thomas-Johnson and his friend Momodou Taal went into hiding."Google informed Thomas-Johnson via a brief email in April that it had already shared his metadata with the Department of Homeland Security, as The Intercept previously reported. But the full extent of the information the agency sought — including usernames, addresses, itemized list of services, including any IP masking services, telephone or instrument numbers, subscriber numbers or identities, and credit card and bank account numbers — was not previously known.
" 'I’d already seen the subpoena request that Google and Meta had sent to Momodou [Taal], and I knew that he had gotten in touch with a lawyer and the lawyer successfully challenged that,' Thomas-Johnson said. 'I was quite surprised to see that I didn’t have that opportunity.'
"The subpoena provides no justification for why ICE is asking for this information, except that it’s required 'in connection with an investigation or inquiry relating to the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.' In the subpoena, ICE requests that Google not 'disclose the existence of this summons for indefinite period of time.'
Thomas-Johnson, who is British, believes that ICE requested that information to track and eventually detain him — but he had already fled to Geneva, Switzerland, and is now in Dakar, Senegal."The #ElectronicFrontierFoundation, which is representing Thomas-Johnson, and the #ACLU of Northern California sent a letter to Google, #Amazon, #Apple, #Discord, #Meta, #Microsoft, and #Reddit last week calling on tech companies to resist similar subpoenas in the future from #DHS without court intervention. The letter asks the companies to provide users with as much notice as possible before complying with a subpoena to give them the opportunity to fight it, and to resist gag orders that would prevent the #TechCompanies from informing targets that a subpoena was issued.
" 'Your promises to protect the privacy of users are being tested right now. As part of the federal government’s unprecedented campaign to target critics of its conduct and policies, agencies like DHS have repeatedly demanded access to the identities and information of people on your services,' the letter reads.
" 'Based on our own contact with targeted users, we are deeply concerned your companies are failing to challenge unlawful surveillance and defend user privacy and speech.' "

#Minneapolis: #Dakota and #Lakota #Oyate Set Up Lodges Outside #WhippleBuilding
By #NiskíthePrayerCamp, #CensoredNews, Feb. 10, 2026
"Niskíthe Prayer Camp is honored to have been asked to share our tipis for this endeavor and we plan to work to supply our Dakota relatives in Minneapolis with supplies that they will need to continue this occupation and fulfill their demands for the return of #FortSnelling.
"Despite being visited yesterday by both state park rangers and Minneapolis police, our Dakota relatives survived their first night in the tipi encampment at Fort Snelling, a former internment (read 'concentration') camp for Indigenous people upon which the federal #ICE detention center in the Whipple Building is now situated. The Dakota want it back, and we plan to help them!
The Red Lake Nation said, 'The Dakota and Lakota Oyate have set up lodges outside the Whipple Building.' "

#AntiICE Organizing Is Creating #CounterInstitutions Based on Care
#RapidResponseNetworks and #MutualAid are not charity. They’re #SharedInfrastructure for #CollectiveCare and survival.
By Rashida James-Saadiya, Truthout
February 4, 2026Excerpt: "Our #resistance must be shaped by what lies ahead: a system sliding toward open #authoritarianism, the normalization of mass violence, and repression that is no longer episodic but continuous. The task now is not to burn brighter or faster, but to build the collective capacity to withstand what’s coming.
"This past year has made one thing unmistakably clear: This system is designed to wear us — and our movements — down. The most subversive thing we can do is refuse to disappear. Refuse to surrender our ability to imagine liberation. The question now is not how much more we can push ourselves, or how long we can survive in isolation, but whether we can build the capacity to hold on — to care for and protect one another — because everything ahead of us depends on it."

#Mamdani Signs Executive Order Requiring #ICE Agents to Get #JudicialWarrants in #NYC
“ICE is more than a rogue agency—it is a manifestation of the abuse of power,” the mayor said.
Stephen Prager
Feb 06, 2026Excerpt: "As the #Trump administration claims federal agents have the authority to raid Americans’ homes and carry out arrests without a warrant, New York City Mayor #ZohranMamdani signed an executive order on Friday barring Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other agencies from entering properties without getting a warrant from a judge.
"It was part of a suite of policies Mamdani announced at an interfaith breakfast to reaffirm New York’s status as a #SanctuaryCity amid President Donald Trump’s surges of immigration agents to other US cities, which have resulted in extrajudicial killings and rampant civil rights violations by agents.
" 'Across this country, day after day, we bear witness to cruelty that staggers the conscience. Masked agents, paid by our own tax dollars, violate the #Constitution and visit terror upon our neighbors,' Mamdani said. 'That is why this morning, I am signing an executive order that will strengthen our city’s protection of our fellow New Yorkers from abusive immigration enforcement.' "

#ShennaBellows should be commended, not impeached! WTF!
Dem official could face GOP impeachment for refusing to cooperate with ICE
Travis Gettys, February 4, 2026
Excerpt: " 'This unilateral decision will put law enforcement and the public in danger,' wrote Republican Senate Leader Trey Stewart and House Leader Billy-Bob Faulkingham, along with their deputies, in the Jan. 21 letter. [Oh, and ICE is making us safe? F*ck you!] 'The Secretary has made it clear: Her actions serve only to make federal law enforcement officers — regardless of agency or mission — easily identifiable for the purpose of disrupting their lawful operations.' " [Um, more like UNLAWFUL OPERATIONS!]

Sec. of State #ShennaBellows: #DOJ demand for #Minnesota #voter data shows #ICERaids tied to #elections
Lauren McCauley
Mon, January 26, 2026 at 9:02 AM ESTExcerpt: "Bellows, a Democrat running for governor, has twice rejected requests to provide the DOJ with sensitive voter data, including driver’s license numbers, partial social security numbers and full dates of birth, along with names of officials who handle the list’s maintenance, the number of ineligible voters the state identified due to noncitizenship and voter registration applications from specific time periods, among other information.
"The DOJ has argued the data is necessary to assess states’ compliance with the statewide voter registration list maintenance provisions of the #NationalVoterRegistrationAct.
"Maine is now among the states being sued by the federal government over its failure to comply.
"In a motion to dismiss filed last month, the state argued that the lawsuit should be discharged because the DOJ failed to support a valid legal case as to why it is justified to such information, and that its data requests violate federal privacy law.
"The motion also noted voter registration databases contain information about people’s choice of political party and in which elections they chose to vote, which are activities protected by the #FirstAmendment. Bellows and other secretaries of state have also raised concern about the federal government using voter records for citizenship probes.
"In a statement Sunday, Bellows said, '#Maine will never turn over our voter rolls as a ransom payment to get ICE to end its #unconstitutional assault on our state.
" 'Our founders designed a system where states and local governments, not the federal government, oversee elections to safeguard us from exactly this — a #tyrannical, #PowerHungry president trampling on our #ConstitutionalRights,' she wrote."

February 03, 2026
"Activists in Maine are resisting #ICE immigration raids in #PortlandME and #LewistonME that the #Trump administration dubbed 'Operation Catch of the Day.' The immigrant community in Maine has grown in recent years, with an influx of #AsylumSeekers and #Somali immigrants in particular.

#RedLake Passes Resolution Prohibiting #ICE From Entering Without Court Order
Jan 27, 2026 | By: Lakeland News
"The Red Lake Tribal Council has passed a resolution prohibiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers from entering the Red Lake Nation unless they have a specific court order signed by a judge with jurisdiction to sign such an order.
"The resolution, which passed on a 10-0 vote, says the Tribal Council has been watching ICE actions in Minnesota and is 'ashamed and disgusted at the obvious violations of constitutional rights directed at United States citizens by ICE officers.'
"They add that, with Tribal Council members being made aware of a Leech Lake band member being apprehended in the Walker area, they suspect that it is just a matter of time before ICE officers attempt to enter the Red Lake Nation.
"The resolution says no ICE officer or federal officer may be present on the Red Lake Nation without the presence of a Red Lake officer, and that the federal officers may only be present for as long as it takes to serve the order. In addition, it says no ICE officer or federal officer in the service of ICE shall be permitted to engage in a fishing expedition in search of any person, and that such officers are prohibited from approaching any individual, home, or vehicle outside the presence of a Red Lake officer."

I guess Susan Collins was concerned? We'll see if ICE does stop #OperationCatchOfTheDay!
#SusanCollins says #ICE has Ended “Enhanced” Operations in #Maine after Pressing Noem to Pause Crackdown
By Jon Fetherston, January 29, 2026
WASHINGTON, D.C. — "U.S. Sen. Susan Collins (R) announced Thursday that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has ceased its 'enhanced activities' in Maine, saying the update came directly from Homeland Security Secretary #KristiNoem after 'several direct communications' between the two.
" 'While the Department of Homeland Security does not confirm law enforcement operations, I can report that Secretary Noem has informed me that ICE has ended its enhanced activities in the State of Maine,' Collins said. She added that there are 'currently no ongoing or planned large-scale ICE operations' in Maine, while ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue their normal, long-running enforcement activity in the state."

I'm not finding the post, but someone on here posted about an incident at a bar in #PortlandME where #ICE was thrown out. I've confirmed the story, and it was a brew pub in the Bayside neighborhood. Hubby saw the video but couldn't make out the name of the brew pub, but recognized the neighborhood. Here's the link from IG:

In #Maine, community members form a #HumanWall to keep local workers safe from #ICE
by Patty Wight, Maine Public
January 26, 2026Excerpt: "The group of more than two dozen volunteers stretches out in a line along the road, where ICE agents have been seen driving by on previous days. It's a wall of down jackets, yarmulkes and brightly colored clergy stoles that blocks the view of the door behind them. They begin to sing as they wait for workers to exit."
