Details about #ICE officers’ #surveillance tools and arrest goals in the state have come to light in a federal lawsuit that compelled officers to answer questions under oath, offering a rare window into opaque, internal strategies that are generally kept secret and have been driving mass #detentions and chaotic raids.
The class-action suit, filed by Innovation Law Lab, challenged ICE’s practice of detaining people without warrants or probable cause. Advocates said the tactic resulted in widespread racial profiling and unconstitutional arrests, and a federal judge sided with the plaintiffs, issuing a ruling broadly halting warrantless arrests in Oregon.

Megaphone :verified:#Minnesota Governor Tim Walz delivered a stark address warning that what is unfolding across #Communities in his state is no longer a matter of #Immigration enforcement, but an abuse of #Power by the #FederalGovernment. Walz described thousands of armed, masked #ICE #Agents operating in #Neighborhoods, #Schools, #GroceryStores, and #TransitStops, stopping people indiscriminately, demanding #Papers from #Residents including #USCitizens, and carrying out #Detentions without #DueProcess.
From a #LGBTQ perspective, this moment raises urgent #Concerns. History shows that expansions of #Surveillance, #Policing, and #Enforcement disproportionately harm #Queer people, #Trans people, #Immigrants, #PeopleOfColor, and other #MarginalizedGroups. Walz framed the situation as a campaign of #StateViolence and #Authoritarianism, where #Fear and #Chaos are used as tools of #Control.
The governor also referenced the death of Renee Nicole Goode, criticizing the #TrumpAdministration for attacking the #Victim and her #Family instead of pursuing #Accountability. He noted the resignation of multiple #FederalProsecutors, citing threats to the #Constitution, #CivilRights, and the #RuleOfLaw. Walz warned that escalating #Rhetoric about #Retribution targets Minnesotans who exercised their #RightToVote.
Walz urged #PeacefulProtest, #Documentation, and #MutualAid, reminding residents of their right to film #ICEActivity to create a #Record and preserve #Evidence. He framed #CommunityCare, #Solidarity, and #Witnessing as acts of #Resistance.
What is happening in #Minnesota is a warning to the rest of the #Country. When #Democracy erodes and #Cruelty becomes #Policy, it rarely stops at one place. The question now is whether #People choose #Silence or stand up for #HumanDignity, #Justice, and #Freedom before this becomes the #Normal.

DoomsdaysCWA Year Into #Trump’s War on #Immigration, Images of an Altered America
The #crackdown and #detentions swept from one coast to the other: day laborers in Los Angeles, a flower seller in Chicago, immigrants in New York courtrooms.

From Texas and New Mexico to Illinois and New York, a New York Times reporter and photographer spent the year documenting Mr. Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Excerpt: "The silence [at the border with Mexico] is pierced by the thudding of military helicopters conducting surveillance with infrared cameras. Soldiers deployed by Mr. Trump are perched on eight-wheeled armored vehicles that had typically been used for combat in Iraq and Afghanistan."
