- Reposted by Karissa BarrowsA bizarre number of people have stepped up to defend Julie Le. What you see in that transcript is an attorney who chose to do evil work—deporting people for ICE then moving over to DOJ in early Jan. specifically to fight these habeas petitions—being called to the carpet. She's desperate, not heroic.

- Reposted by Karissa BarrowsThe headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota." Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota." This presser worked like a charm.

- Reposted by Karissa BarrowsFrom nationalizing voter suppression to flooding the streets with federal agents, the president and his allies are using all the tricks in the authoritarian playbook to tilt the midterms in their favor.
- Reposted by Karissa BarrowsIt cost me $66.70 to get this transcript. Money well spent. I don't need anyone to reimburse me. But, if you got something out of this transcript, please consider making a $66.70 donation, or even $6.67, to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund, which posts bond for immigration detainees. mibfc.org

- Reposted by Karissa BarrowsNEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

- Reposted by Karissa BarrowsThis is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.

- Reposted by Karissa BarrowsICE at the polls! Bannon is basically yelling “fire” in a crowded theater here. His objective is to cause chaos (and suppress votes on the left). And it’s already working. This threat works on multiple levels and doesn’t have to be “real” to serve its purpose. Let me explain & offer some advice.
- Steve Bannon says the federal government is planning to send ICE officers to patrol polling stations during the midterms. "We're going to have ICE surround the polls come November." "We're not going to sit here and allow you to steal the country again." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

If one attempts to account for the most obvious of design limitations in the Gaza Mortality Survey, it’s clear that the death toll is likely greater than 215,000." - @ferozesidhwa.org

- Reposted by Karissa BarrowsThis is the piece of the puzzle people are zooming past that I think bears repeating. There will be violence. People will be hurt or worse. At scale? No. But even the death of one person just trying to vote should be an unacceptable number. Dismantling ICE immediately stops this from being a concern
