    “ …These task forces further empower local police to act as roving ICE agents in the streets—detaining, interrogating, and arresting based on immigration status….”

    The Trump administration only recently revived the task force model, which had been terminated by the Obama administration in 2012 amid lawsuits and national controversy over racial profiling by sheriffs including the notorious Joe Arpaio in Arizona.

  9. @msfreepress This is when local #cops, #sheriffs and #state popo are unleashed to run roughshod over people they don't like. If you ever mouthed off to a cop, you're SOL. If you ever filed a complaint, you're up the creek. If you ever contested a ticket. kiss your ass goodbye bc they now own your ass.

  10. #deportation #sheriffs #ICE

    "Another federal program, called 287(g), grants sheriff deputies permission to act as immigration agents themselves, questioning arrestees about their nationality and transferring them to ICE’s custody."

  11. Far-Right #Sheriffs Want to Carry Out Donald Trump's #MassDeportations. That’s Not Possible

    Across the US, sheriffs say they’re willing to do whatever they can to help Donald Trump’s “border czar,” Tom Homan, expel millions of #immigrants. Legally, that isn’t much.

  15. Woman claims her #Christian #megachurch banned her for criticizing the #pastor

    youtube.com/watch?v=BnV0XIstzs

    James River Church in #Missouri allegedly kicked out Rahela Petian for daring to criticize their pastor. They even called on #sheriffs to arrest her (in front of her children!) at #church just before a service.
    Now she wants the whole damn world to know about it.

  16. In 1845, millions of Irish fled the famine, the majority coming to the U.S.

    Nearly half of all U.S. immigrants in the 1840s were Irish.

    The racism against them was phenomenal.

    There were the No Irish Need Apply signs outside businesses looking for workers.

    Anti-Irish nativist gangs, like New York’s Bowery Boys, and Baltimore’s Plug Uglies carried out pogroms in Irish communities.

    These gangs often affiliated with political parties like the No Nothings and the Republicans.

    Irish gangs, affiliated with the Democratic Party, began to form for self-defense.

    At least twenty people died in anti-Irish riots in Philadelphia in 1844.

  21. Irish Origins of the Myth of the Molly Maguires

    According to legend, there was a widow living in Ireland in the 1840s named Molly Maguire,
    who hated the landlords who were abusing the poor tenant farmers.

    She supposedly carried a pistol strapped to each thigh.

    She, or her followers, would beat or murder the tyrannical landlords, their agents, and bailiffs, whenever they tried to evict a tenant.

    No one knows if she ever really existed, but other tenant farmer activists were said to cry out,
    “Take that from a son of Molly Maguire!” when protesting against unscrupulous landlords.

  26. However, there is no evidence that an organization called the Molly Maguires ever existed in the U.S.

    James McParland, an #agent #provocateur who worked for the Pinkerton Detective Agency,
    and who provided the plans and weapons the men purportedly used in their crimes,
    provided the only serious evidence against the men.

    The entire legal process was a travesty:
    a private corporation (the #Reading #Railroad ) set up the investigation through a private police force (the #Pinkerton #Detective #Agency ) and prosecuted them with their own company attorneys.

    No jurors were Irish, though several were recent German immigrants who had trouble understanding the proceedings.

    Nearly everything people “know” today about the Molly Maguires comes from Allan Pinkerton’s own work of #fiction,
    "The Molly Maguires and the Detectives" (1877),
    which he marketed as nonfiction.

    His heavily biased book was the primary source for dozens of academic works, and for several pieces of fiction, including Arthur Conan Doyle’s final Sherlock Holmes novel, "Valley of Fear" (1915), and the 1970 Sean Connery film, "Molly Maguires."

  31. The Day of the Rope

    The Molly Maguires became international news on June 21, 1877, when the authorities
    💥 hanged ten Irish miners in a single day in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania.💥

    Known as #Black #Thursday, or Day of the Rope, it was the second largest mass execution in U.S. history.

    (The largest was in 1862, when the U.S. government executed 38 Dakota warriors).

    The authorities accused the Irishmen of being terrorists from a secret organization called the #Molly #Maguires.

    They executed ten more over the next two years, and imprisoned another twenty suspected Molly Maguires.

    Most of the convicted men were #union #activists.
    Some even held public office, as #sheriffs and #school #board members.
