Somali Americans hounded by ICE and rightwing ‘influencers’ on edge in #Ohio: ‘I’m scared to go outside’
ICE launched ‘Operation Buckeye’ and ‘influencers’ claimed Somalis are running fraudulent businesses after #Trump repeatedly used racist language against group
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/09/ohio-ice-somali-communityfrom #TheGuardian
March 9, 2026#ICE agents have been turning up in cars around Somali-owned businesses and schools that teach children from immigrant backgrounds. Rightwing so-called “influencers”, including leaders at #TurningPointUSA, have followed suit.
Since then, Somali-owned businesses have struggled to attract customers and schools have closed due to low attendance fueled by the presence of federal agents and anti- #immigrant provocateurs.
Today, the #Somali community in #Columbus, which numbers around 60,000 people, is still reeling from the fallout.

Minnesotans Keep the Heat on Despite ICE ‘Drawdown’
https://world-outlook.com/2026/02/20/minnesotans-keep-the-heat-on-despite-ice-drawdown/from #WorldOutlook
Feb. 20, 2026After nearly three months, the largest anti-immigrant operation in #US history has officially “ended” — beaten back by a massive, sustained, and well-organized resistance involving hundreds of thousands throughout the state of Minnesota and across the country.
At its peak, the surge involved 3,000 federal agents from #ICE and the Border Patrol — a 2,000% increase over the normal deployment in the state, and more than twice the size of the combined police forces in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, which includes #Minneapolis and St. Paul.
These agents have functioned as a hostile paramilitary force to carry out “retribution” against Minnesota and the #immigrant communities that #Trump calls “garbage” and “animals” who have “destroyed #Minnesota.”

Trump’s Concentration Camp Build-Out Includes Nearly $40 Billion for Warehouse Conversions
“Germany’s concentration camps didn’t start as instruments of mass murder, and neither have ours,” wrote talk show host Thom Hartmann recently. “History isn’t whispering its warning: It’s shouting.”
https://www.commondreams.org/news/list-of-ice-detention-centersfrom #CommonDreams
Feb. 13, 2026President Donald #Trump’s anti-#immigration agenda has supercharged opposition in cities where he has deployed federal agents to conduct raids, and communities in states including New York and Missouri are already working to block the next step the Department of Homeland Security plans to take in its push for mass #deportations: acquiring massive warehouses across the country to use as #immigrant detention centers.

The Woman #AlexPretti Was Killed Trying to Defend Is an EMT. Federal Agents Stopped Her From Giving First Aid.
“I was literally begging the agent who was holding me back to let me do CPR,” she told The Intercept in an exclusive interview.
https://theintercept.com/2026/02/13/alex-pretti-first-aid-emt-federal-agents/from #TheIntercept
Feb. 13, 2026Video footage captured by another bystander shows that just as Pretti managed to stabilize the EMT, agents shoved the other woman to the ground. As Pretti and the EMT attempt to help her stand up, multiple agents surround the group and begin to spray them with cans of chemical irritant. Some of the agents continue pursuing the women, while others separate #Pretti from the group and begin beating him.
“I was saying to the agents, “We’re leaving! We’re leaving. We’re leaving!’ — just trying desperately to like get them to stop,” the EMT said.

Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts
The department has sent Google, Meta and other companies hundreds of subpoenas for information on accounts that track or comment on ICE, officials and tech workers said.

Feb. 13, 2026The Department of Homeland Security (#DHS) is expanding its efforts to identify Americans who oppose #ICE by sending tech companies legal requests for the names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize the agency.
In recent months, #Google, #Reddit, #Discord and #Meta, which owns #Facebook and #Instagram, have received hundreds of administrative subpoenas from the DHS, according to four government officials and tech employees privy to the requests.

Houston High School Students #Protest ICE, Defy Attempts to Restrict Free Speech
Similar Student Protests Spread in Dozens of #US Cities on February 6
https://world-outlook.com/2026/02/09/houston-high-school-students-protest-ice-defy-attempts-to-restrict-free-speech/from #WorldOutlook
Feb. 9, 2026On Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, students at Bellaire High School in Houston, Texas, walked out as part of a coordinated regional effort involving several area schools, including Cypress Falls and Conroe High Schools, to protest operations by #Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) amid fears that its agents will be allowed onto school property to detain students and their families.
The Houston Chronicle article reproduced below on the Bellaire walkout conveys important developments in the fight to oppose #deportations across the United States.
The widespread high-school student walkouts on January 30 are now being followed by new and similar grassroots initiatives at schools around the country.

Nearly 30,000 Minnesotans Trained to Monitor ICE Occupation
Federal Gov’t Tries to Defuse Resistance with Cosmetic Changes
https://world-outlook.com/2026/02/07/nearly-30000-minnesotans-trained-to-monitor-ice-occupation/from #WorldOutlook
Feb. 7, 2026This activity is coupled with mass #protests that have included rallies by tens of thousands and walkouts by high school students after federal goons murdered in cold blood two of these volunteer observers — #US citizens #ReneeGood and #AlexPretti. In response, the #Trump administration is trying to diffuse the growing resistance through cosmetic changes.
On February 4, White House “border czar” #TomHoman announced that the Dept. of Homeland Security (#DHS) would reduce by 700 the number of agents deployed to #Minnesota. State officials, #immigrant rights and community groups, and those involved in resisting the DHS “Operation Metro Surge” since early December reacted with skepticism.

#ICE Ramps Up Targeting of Minneapolis Legal Observers
In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”
https://theintercept.com/2026/02/09/ice-minneapolis-legal-observers-abduction/From #TheIntercept
Feb. 9In #Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as the surrounding suburbs, tens of thousands of #immigrant families are relying on churches and mutual aid for food and financial support. People have not left their homes for weeks. Local schools have reverted to Covid-era online measures to support immigrant students too terrified to come to class. Those students who still attend in person are transported by #US-born neighbors and family friends. Campuses at all grade levels are patrolled by volunteers in fluorescent vests, an effort aimed at deterring federal agents’ practice of targeting parent pick-up and drop-off sites.

🚨 The #GhostFlights: #Deportation Flights #Disappearing Thousands Arrested by #ICE
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 6, 2026
"We've been tracking the Ghost Flights, disappearing migrants, moms, asylum seekers, and others arrested in Minneapolis, who are quickly grabbed and taken away at a private terminal at Minneapolis international airport.
"The charter airlines are making it harder to track them, but here's what we found: #GlobalX, #Eastern and #Omni based in #TulsaOK, have operated most of these, with Sun Country also operating some of the flights.
"These secretive flights take those arrested to deportation hubs in isolated areas, where they are sent to prison, deported to other countries, or constantly shifted on flights. These secretive hubs are in #DadeCollier in the Florida Everglades; Alexandria in central Louisiana; and Harlingen on the Texas border.
"Those arrested are boarded shackled in chains from their wrists to their feet, and often denied water and food, and abused. While these secretive flights disappear people, their families desperately search for them.
"The flights out of #MesaAZ in the #Phoenix area are deporting hundreds on each flight to #Venezuela. A recent flight out of Mesa deported those arrested to #Russia and #Iran. The past flights show the men were immediately given #Draft notices for military service when they arrived in Russia. Protesters and political #AsylumSeekers face worse.
"As for the chartered airlines, the main contract is held by #CSI in #AlbuquerqueNM, who contracts out the other airlines.
"Yesterday, a Ghost Flight landed in #Guantanamo and then #Haiti. These are #moms, #workers, asylum seekers, #LegalResidents, and most are whisked away and denied due process. More than 2,000 have been deported from #Minneapolis.
"Other major hubs for deportation flights are #ElPaso, #Miami, #SanAntonio, and #TacomaWA. The deportation flights are arriving in every region of the world, the Americas, Asia, and Africa." 😱

A ‘Terrifying Line Is Being Crossed,’ Warns #Minneapolis Mayor as More ICE Horror Stories Emerge
In an interview with the New York Times, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey described “marauding gangs of guys just walking down the street indiscriminately picking people up.”
https://www.commondreams.org/news/mayor-jacob-frey-interviewfrom #CommonDreams
Jan. 31, 2026According to a Saturday report in the #NYT, concern over #ICE’s brutality has grown to such an extent that many #Minnesota residents, including both documented immigrants and #US citizens, have started wearing passports around their necks to avoid being potentially targeted.
CNN on Friday reported that ICE has been rounding up #refugees living in Minnesota who were allowed to enter the US after undergoing “a rigorous, years-long vetting process,” and sending them to a facility in Texas where they are being prepared for #deportation.

ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into wall triggers tension at a #Minnesota hospital

Updated 10:12 AM EST, January 31, 2026Intensive care nurses immediately doubted the word of federal #immigration officers when they arrived at a #Minneapolis hospital with a #Mexican #immigrant who had broken bones in his face and skull.
#ICE agents initially claimed Alberto Castañeda Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall,” according to court documents filed by a lawyer seeking his release.
But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the 31-year-old’s brain, said three nurses familiar with the case.

ICE Murders 2nd Minneapolis Volunteer Observer in Cold Blood

Jan. 26, 2026#MINNEAPOLIS, #Minnesota, January 25, 2026 — Tens of thousands of protesters, as many as 50,000 by some estimates, marched through the streets of this city on January 23. It was a historic day of peaceful, often buoyant show of resistance against the federal govt's crackdown on #immigrant workers and efforts to intimidate anyone protesting this terroristic invasion across the state.
The promise of a calm Saturday disappeared shortly after 9 a.m. the next morning, January 24. That is when half a dozen #ImmigrationAndCustomsEnforcement (#ICE) and #BorderPatrol agents held down #AlexPretti and pumped 10 bullets into his body, killing him in cold blood.

Amid Funding Fight, #BernieSanders Says Unmask ICE, Repeal $75 Billion Giveaway, and More
“ICE is out of control, ignoring the law and our Constitution. Congress must vote NO on any additional funding for DHS,” the senator argued as House progressives issued similar demands.
https://www.commondreams.org/news/funding-for-dhs[article gives a full round-up of various demands of Congressional Democrats.]
from#CommonDreams
Jan 26, 2026The senator’s demands largely align with the reported demands of Senate Democrats, with whom he caucuses, as well as those of House progressives.
“Senate Democrats will not allow the current DHS funding bill to move forward,” the chamber’s minority leader, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), said in a Monday statement. “Senate Republicans have seen the same horrific footage that all Americans have watched of the blatant abuses of Americans by #ICE in Minnesota.”

Around 8 agents then swarm and wrestle him to the ground. One of the officers then visibly unholstered his gun and fired multiple close-range gunshots at Pretti, a #Minnesota resident who was reportedly on the scene as an observer. There are 10 gunshots heard in all—at least five of them were fired at Pretti from a distance, while the person holding the camera shouts, “What the fuck did you just do?”

The action on Friday, which unfolded in subzero temperatures, was the most widespread and organized demonstration since federal agents arrived more than six weeks ago. It was aimed at pressuring the federal government to pull thousands of its agents from the streets.

Jan. 24, 2026Federal #immigration agents have broken windows and dragged occupants out of their vehicles. They have forcefully tackled people to the ground. They have pushed and shoved protesters, and deployed pepper spray directly in their faces.
For weeks, residents have documented the scenes unfolding as federal agents pursue President #Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota. The videos have circulated widely and intensified outrage and fear among many Minnesotans.
Marty Kurcias, 76, who was protesting at the airport on Friday, said the aggressive treatment he has seen of Minnesotans was jarring. “It can’t go on like this,” he said. “We don’t abide by cruelty or violence.”

But photos of a #BorderPatrol agent squirting pepper spray in the face of a man who was being pinned down by fellow officers on Wednesday searingly captured why the ongoing #immigration operation has been met with furious resistance on the streets of #Minneapolis.

Kaden Rummler and Britain Rodriguez tell KTLA and LA Times of being shot at close range during California protest

Sat 17 Jan 2026 08.00 ESTTwo protesters have been blinded by so-called “less-lethal” munitions deployed by federal officers during an anti- #ICE #protest last week in Santa Ana, California, according to reports.
Widely seen video recorded at the Santa Ana protest showed a homeland security agent shoot Kaden Rummler, 21, in the face with a less-lethal munition at a distance of only a few feet. Doctors found glass shards and plastic fragments in his skull and a fragment of metal lodged just shy of his carotid artery.

In Minneapolis, I Glimpsed a Civil War

Jan. 19, 2026Like many Americans, I had watched the video of the killing of #ReneeGood by an #ICE officer on a residential street in #Minneapolis with horror and sorrow. From afar, this tragic and possibly criminal act of violence could plausibly be seen as incidental to President Trump’s mission to deport #undocumented people from the country. But when I landed in Minneapolis on Monday and saw the size, scope and lawlessness of the federal onslaught unfolding here, I understood that Good’s killing was emblematic of its true mission: to stage a spectacle of cruelty upon a city that stands in stark defiance against #Trump’s dark vision of America.

Hundreds of #TwinCities #HighSchool #students walked out of school Monday to #protest federal #immigration enforcement in #Minnesota, and some school leaders in the region are increasingly concerned about high absenteeism with families fearing being caught up in #US Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.
An estimated 500 high school students walked out of Roseville High School Monday morning, walking from their school, around the parking lot and onto a bridge over Minnesota Highway 36 in Roseville.

Jan. 10, 2026Mounting outrage over an ICE agent’s killing of a woman in #Minneapolis spilled into streets across the country on Saturday, as crowds of protesters mobilized against what they called the excesses of the #Trump administration’s mass #deportation campaign.
The “#IceOutForGood” campaign held #demonstrations in small towns and major cities, including some that have been central targets of President Trump’s #immigration crackdown. The protests came three days after an #ICE agent in Minneapolis shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen at the wheel of a car, during an encounter in South Minneapolis.

Trump-Appointed Judge Flays #ICE Over Conditions in Long Island Lockup
A detainee and eight others were held in a tiny room with an open toilet in freezing, filthy conditions.

Dec. 19, 2025, 3:00 a.m. ET“After nearly 35 years of experience with federal law enforcement in this judicial district, encompassing service as a prosecutor and a judge, I have never encountered anything like this,” Judge Brown, who was appointed by President #Trump in 2019, wrote.
The judge also wrote that #Immigration and Customs Enforcement had presented false information about Mr. Clarke’s arrest and had ignored court orders by failing to present him for a hearing and provide photographs of the cell. He questioned why the agency should not be held in contempt.

Dozens denied oath of allegiance at Indianapolis naturalization ceremony
Ryan Murphy
from Indianapolis Star
Dec. 10, 2025, 6:20 a.m. ETAs people made their way into the Indianapolis Union Station for a naturalization ceremony, federal officials stopped certain applicants and told them that they wouldn't be leaving the building with #US citizenship.
The #immigrants — who had already passed every step in the long #naturalization process — needed only to take the oath of allegiance Dec. 9, 2025, to become citizens. A federal directive handed down on Dec. 2, however, made that impossible for more than one third of people signed up for the Indianapolis ceremony.
Zhibo Zhao, a US Citizenship and Immigration Services official present at the event, said oaths of allegiance for 38 of the 100 participants were "canceled."

[US Sen. Patty] Murray: ICE dog attack on WA man ‘should shock the conscience’
from #SeattleTimes
Dec. 6, 2025#US Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., is calling for the immediate release of a Clark County man whose attorneys say was mauled by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement dog despite not resisting arrest.
Undercover immigration officials detained Wilmer Toledo-Martinez, of Vancouver, Wash., outside his home on Nov. 14. An #ICE agent pretended to be a construction worker, claiming he had hit Toledo-Martinez’s vehicle and needed to exchange insurance, luring the family out of their home, according to the senator.
Another agent was waiting for Toledo-Martinez outside, releasing a dog that then mauled him, according to his attorney. As of Saturday, Toledo-Martinez, was being held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma.

Chicago Residents Fight ICE Abductions, Deportations
An Example for Working People and Their Allies in Defending Undocumented #Immigrantshttps://world-outlook.com/2025/11/15/chicago-residents-fight-ice-abductions-deportations/
from #WorldOutlook
By Cathleen Gutekanst
Nov 15, 2025Thousands of #Chicago-area residents have undergone training in how to respond quickly to #ICE raids as part of #RapidResponse teams. These people are out on the street, blowing whistles and honking horns when they see ICE and Customs and Border Patrol (#CBP) agents, and warning those in danger to seek cover. Rapid Responders also take regular shifts walking children to school so that their parents do not have to risk an ICE abduction at the drop-off site. Responders stand at nearby school corners to reassure school children that someone is there to protect them, to document what ICE does, and to seek help, if necessary.
The ICIRR hotline offers help in 13 languages — including Spanish, Polish, and Urdu.

BREAKING: CAIR Calls on ICE to Release Sami Hamdi, British Journalist Abducted Over Criticism of Israel’s Genocide
October 26, 2025
2:34 pm EDTThe Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called for the immediate release of British Muslim journalist and political commentator Sami Hamdi, who was detained at San Francisco International Airport this morning, apparently because of his criticism of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and at the urging of a notorious anti-Muslim, pro-Israel extremist.

#ICE detains British journalist after criticism of Israel on US tour
Trump ally #LauraLoomer took credit for Sami Hamdi’s detainment in move denounced as ‘affront to free speech’
from #TheGuardian
Sun 26 Oct 2025 17.16 EDTBritish journalist #SamiHamdi was reportedly detained on Sunday morning by federal #immigration authorities at San Francisco airport, and the #CouncilOnAmericanIslamicRelations (#CAIR) says that action is apparent retaliation for the Muslim political commentator’s criticism of #Israel while touring the #US.
A statement from CAIR said it was “a blatant affront to free speech” to detain Hamdi for criticizing Israel’s ongoing military campaign in #Gaza while he engaged on a speaking tour in the US. A #Trump administration official added in a separate statement that Hamdi is facing deportation.

#US cities to resist Trump’s crackdown on dissent with #NoKings protests: ‘We will not be bullied’
Second round of protests at more than 2,500 sites are set for Saturday, including in cities where #Trump has sent troops
from #TheGuardian
Rachel Leingang
Fri 17 Oct 2025 06.00 EDTMore than 200 organizations are signed on as partners for the 18 October protests; none have dropped off for fear of a Trump backlash, Levin said. The #AmericanCivilLibertiesUnion, the civil rights group, is a partner, as is advocacy group Public Citizen. #Unions including the American Federation of Teachers and SEIU are in the coalition. The new protest movement #50501, which began earlier this year as a call for protests in all 50 states on a single day, is also a partner. Other partners include the Human Rights Campaign, MoveOn, United We Dream, the League of Conservation Voters, Common Defense and more.

ICE Wants to Build Out a 24/7 Social Media Surveillance Team
Documents show that ICE plans to hire dozens of contractors to scan X, Facebook, TikTok, and other platforms to target people for #deportation.
from #Wired
Oct 3, 2025 9:21 AMThe Electronic Privacy Information Center has similarly sued #ICE, calling its reliance on data brokers a “significant threat to privacy and liberty.” The #AmericanCivilLibertiesUnion has argued that buying bulk datasets—such as smartphone location trails gathered from ordinary apps—helps ICE sidestep warrant requirements and helps it pull in vast amounts of data with no clear link to its enforcement mandate.
The newly proposed social media program is only the latest in a string of #surveillance contracts ICE has pursued over the past few years.

I spent decades at Columbia. I’m withdrawing my fall course due to its deal with #Trump
Rashid Khalidifrom #TheGuardian #Guardian
Fri 1 Aug 2025 06.00 EDTColumbia’s capitulation has turned a #university that was once a site of free inquiry and learning into a shadow of its former self, an-anti university, a gated security zone with electronic entry controls, a place of fear and loathing, where faculty and students are told from on high what they can teach and say, under penalty of severe sanctions. Disgracefully, all of this is being done to cover up one of the greatest crimes of this century, the ongoing genocide in #Gaza, a crime in which #Columbia’s leadership is now fully complicit.

"Inside, Khalil said he was denied his ulcer medication, forced to sleep under harsh fluorescent lights and fed “nearly inedible” food, causing him to lose 15 pounds (7 kilograms). “I cannot remember a night when I didn’t go to sleep hungry,” Khalil recalled.
Meanwhile, the #Trump administration publicly celebrated the arrest, promising to deport him and others whose protests against #Israel it dubbed “pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity.” "

"Rogan, who endorsed Trump just hours before the 2024 presidential election, now says he was misled by the man he helped boost into office. The podcaster and UFC commentator, known for giving a platform to anti-cancel culture figures and free speech advocates, is now accusing #Trump of betraying the very values he campaigned on."

Gestapo: You Guys Look Like Fucking Criminals

As glorified "state-sanctioned intimidation" turns some terrified Latino neighborhoods into ghost towns, "Day by passing day, we are watching what amounts to a national police riot by ICE. "

Fear and Quiet Resistance Amid a Los Angeles in Turmoil
How the #ICE Raids Are Warping #Latino Life in #LosAngeles
from #NewYorkTimes #NYT
[gift article - link can be shared. Expires in 30 days.]Visuals and Text by Isabel Castro, who is a Mexican American filmmaker based in LA.
June 22, 2025In Boyle Heights, a predominantly Latino neighborhood in East Los Angeles, the streets were unusually quiet. In the early afternoon, a time when the neighborhood is typically bustling with activity, the sidewalks and stores were empty.
I met Ceasar Sanchez, standing at the entrance of a barbershop on Cesar Chavez Avenue, one of the area’s main thoroughfares. Inside, every chair sat empty.
Mr. Sanchez, who works at the shop, hasn’t had a single client this week. “They’re just afraid to go anywhere — shopping, stores, even work,” he explained.
