“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.

'Dark turn of events': Met Police under fire for #intifada chant arrests

Social media users say the decision is discriminatory and violates the right to free speech

At a protest outside the Ministry of Justice on Wednesday, four people were arrested for “racially aggravated public order offences” for their use of the Arabic word “intifada”, meaning uprising.

The move comes in the wake of the Bondi Beach shooting in Sydney on Sunday, in which two gunmen targeted a Hanukkah event, killing at least 15 people.

Several public figures have sought to link the shootings to Palestine activism, specifically referencing the chant.

[US Sen. Patty] Murray: ICE dog attack on WA man ‘should shock the conscience’

https://archive.ph/qpZRf

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.

Mr. Bushart, a 61-year-old retired police officer living in Lexington, Tenn., had posted a meme on Facebook after the assassination of the conservative activist #CharlieKirk on Sept. 10. It was a picture of Donald #Trump along with Mr. Trump’s comment in response to a school shooting at Perry High School in Iowa in 2024: “We have to get over it.” The meme was headed by the caption, “This seems relevant today.”

Mr. Bushart shared that meme in a Facebook thread promoting a vigil for Mr. Kirk in nearby Perry County, Tenn. The Perry County Sheriff’s Office obtained a warrant for Mr. Bushart’s arrest, claiming that the post was a threat of “mass violence” at a school.

Iranian Professor in Oklahoma Released 3 Days After His Detention by #ICE

Vahid Abedini, who colleagues said was in the United States on an H-1B visa, was arrested on his way to a conference in Washington. It was unclear why.

Sina Azodi, assistant professor of Middle East politics at George Washington University’s Elliott School of International Affairs, said Dr. Abedini’s detainment would have a chilling effect on international scholars in the United States. Mr. Azodi said he did not know Dr. Abedini extremely well but they had met several times.

Mr. Azodi, who said he was an American citizen originally from #Iran, added that many international scholars were being “forced into silence” by fear of arrest. “They are afraid to speak and to write what they think in papers,” he said.

‘The System Is Meant to Break You’: What #ICE Is Doing to People Here Legally

The videos circulating on social media are brutal and terrifying — the often violent arrests, people pulled screaming from their cars, out of day care centers, away from their children and their spouses. What should give Americans equal pause is the inhumanity happening beyond the cameras, away from the view of judges and lawyers and the media. #DueProcess is not a constitutional right afforded only to citizens; legal restrictions on unlawful detention apply to all people on #US soil.

The stories we were told call into question both the constitutionality and the morality of how the #Trump administration is directing #immigration policy. That immorality, once unleashed, may ultimately be aimed at others in this country, regardless of immigration status.

[One person, a devoted Christian, had posted a quote from Kirk about the Second Amendment, and then added "Thoughts and Prayers." She was fired a few days later.]

BREAKING: CAIR Calls on ICE to Release Sami Hamdi, British Journalist Abducted Over Criticism of Israel’s Genocide

2:34 pm EDT

The 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.
