"Lawsuit accuses DHS of plugging DNA database into ICE surveillance machine.

Four protesters are suing to stop the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from seizing DNA samples from Americans arrested while peacefully protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity.

In a complaint filed in an Illinois district court on Wednesday, protesters arrested at the Broadview ICE facility during “Operation Midway Blitz”—when thousands of federal agents flooded Chicago—demanded an injunction to stop alleged violations of the First and Fourth Amendments, as well as the Administrative Procedure Act.

They have accused the federal government of “wrongfully arresting peaceful protesters, collecting their DNA, uploading their genetic profiles to government databases, and storing their DNA samples in federal labs—permanently.”

Out of 92 non-immigration arrests at Broadview, they emphasized, only one protester was convicted. That conviction was based on pleading guilty to concealing a prior felony charge and “had nothing to do with the protests at Broadview,” the protesters said."

Good, but it's not the final decision:⚡"DC Cir, 3-0, denies Trump admin request to pause lower court ruling that immigration detention facilities allow zero-notice visits by lawmakers. Pillard/Wilkins (Obama), Rao (Trump). Rao writes solo, saying Trump likely to win but no harm shown."

"ProPublica identified💔at least 79 children who’ve been left screaming, unable to breathe, or otherwise hurt by #TearGas & pepper spray during Trump’s historic IMM crackdown."

"Surveys⚡like these are invaluable, & it's one reason that⚡ProPublica is one of the best news outlets.🚨But it's worth emphasizing that this is the lower bound, & there's no way to actually see how many #CHILDREN HAVE BEEN HARMED like this by #DHS's recklessness."
