The killing of Alex Pretti by a federal officer on Saturday, less than three weeks after the killing of Renee Good, brought heightened attention to the brutality observers and bystanders are facing in #Minneapolis as they witness and document #immigration enforcement. Volunteer observers told the Guardian they have been subjected to violence since the beginning of Operation Metro Surge in early December.
Observers who had been detained by federal agents and released, many without charges, told the Guardian they were denied access to medical care, phone calls and lawyers.
Fishermen, Wives Help Lead #Protests Against Building ICE Detention Center on Oregon Coast

For two months Oregon coastal residents, led in part by fishermen and their wives, have been fighting an attempt by the #US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to build an #Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility at an airport in the town of Newport. So far, the fight has had some successes, but it is far from over.
By early November, Newport residents were seeing clear signs that #DHS was taking surreptitious steps to turn the city’s airport into an #ICE #detention facility. Online ads appeared for “detention officers based in Newport”; federal contractors made inquiries to area hotels and motels about long-term rentals of 200 rooms and contacted local businesses to explore the availability of water and sewer services.

#Australia #Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) statement on Bondi Beach terror attack (excerpts)
from #WorldOutlook Dec. 16
Our values are clear. We reject #antisemitism and all forms of racism. We reject violence, hate, and attempts to divide our communities. We stand for dignity, safety, and care for all people, and for a world where everyone can live free from fear, without exception…
Our movement represents the best of our community, from First Nations leaders, members of the #Jewish community, side by side with Palestinian siblings, and the wider Arab community, among many other allies from all walks of life. Together we have insisted on a world that is free from racism and hate. And we will continue to insist that antisemitism… has no place in our society. We must all harness the courage of Ahmed al Ahmed, the hero who disarmed the gunman. His bravery calls us to stand together against hatred.

[contains article from #TheWashingtonPost, with an introduction and background information from World-Outlook.]
"The article below first appeared in the April 10 edition of the Washington Post. It reports on successful protests in Sackets Harbor, in upstate New York, that forced Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to release three kids, and their mother. They had been wrongly arrested during an ICE raid in the nearby North Harbor Dairy Farm in late March.
The story offers an example of what can be done to resist some of the most extreme assaults on working families caught in the mass-deportation dragnet the #Trump administration has unleashed since taking office in January. "
