“The government’s prolonged detention of Guevara sends a chilling message to all journalists, citizens, and residents who record law enforcement, report on government activities, and seek to report the truth. This concerns all of us as a blatant attack on the First Amendment and press freedom. Livestreaming and filming police is not a crime.”

#MAGA senator slams illegal immigrants as 'criminals' — then steps in to free ICE detainee

"MAGA Sen. #JohnKennedy (R-LA), who has been a fervent supporter of Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts to deport undocumented migrants, reversed course when it came to one of his constituents, according to The New York Times.
"Kennedy told Fox News on July 17, 'If you’re in our country illegally, you’re a criminal. Illegal immigration is illegal, duh.'
"And yet, the senator's office recently asked the Department of Homeland Security to release 25-year-old #PaolaClouatre after two months in a #Louisiana #DetentionCenter, the report said.
"Clouatre is a Mexican citizen and mother of two young children who is married to a U.S. #MarineCorps #veteran.
" 'In an email on Tuesday morning, Christy Tate, the constituent services representative in Mr. Kennedy’s office, wrote to Mr. Clouatre to confirm that his wife had been released from ICE custody after her office had made a formal request to the federal agency,' the report said.
"The email read in part, 'I am so happy for you and your family. We will continue to keep you, your family and others that are experiencing the same issues in our prayers.' [Because of you, Mr. Kennedy!!!]
"Reporter Pooja Salhotra wrote that Clouatre came to the United States as a teenager 'to seek asylum with her mother and brother.' After her mother failed to show up for a court hearing in California in 2018, a judge issued a deportation order against the teen.
"Now estranged from her mother, Clouatre said she didn't learn of the deportation order until earlier this year 'when she was already in the process of applying for a #greencard, the report said.
"She was detained by ICE agents on May 27 shortly after giving birth, and while attending a 'routine appointment in New Orleans related to her application for a green card and #PermanentResident status,' according to the report.
"During her incarceration, Clouatre's husband brought the couple's 9-week-old baby to the jail so she could breastfeed. [How Christian of them!] She is currently wearing an ankle monitor and awaiting a court date for her immigration proceedings."

WTF! After decades in the US, #Iranians arrested in #Trump’s deportation drive
By KIM CHANDLER, CLAIRE RUSH and ELLIOT SPAGAT

"Mandonna 'Donna' Kashanian lived in the United States for 47 years, married a U.S. citizen and raised their daughter. She was gardening in the yard of her New Orleans home when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers handcuffed and took her away, her family said.
"Kashanian arrived in 1978 on a student visa and applied for asylum, fearing retaliation for her father’s support of the U.S.-backed shah. She lost her bid, but she was allowed to remain with her husband and child if she checked in regularly with immigration officials, her husband and daughter said. She complied, once checking in from South Carolina during #HurricaneKatrina. She is now being held at an immigration #DetentionCenter in #BasileLouisiana, while her family tries to get information.
"Other Iranians are also getting arrested by immigration authorities after decades in the United States. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security won’t say how many people they’ve arrested, but U.S. military strikes on Iran have fueled fears that there is more to come.
" 'Some level of vigilance, of course, makes sense, but what it seems like ICE has done is basically give out an order to round up as many Iranians as you can, whether or not they’re linked to any threat and then arrest them and deport them, which is very concerning,' said Ryan Costello, policy director of the National Iranian American Council, an advocacy group.
"#HomelandSecurity did not immediately reply to an email seeking comment on Kashanian’s case but have been touting arrests of Iranians. The department announced the arrests of at least 11 Iranians on immigration violations during the weekend of the U.S. missile strikes. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said, without elaborating, that it arrested seven Iranians at a Los Angeles-area address that 'has been repeatedly used to harbor illegal entrants linked to #terrorism.'

Some Iranians are getting arrested by immigration authorities after living decades in the United States. The Homeland Security Department hasn't released numbers but the National Iranian American Council, an advocacy group, says there has has been a surge of arrests. Mandonna “Donna” Kashanian lived in the United States for 47 years before being piked up by immigration officers this month in New Orleans. Like other Iranians, she has faced the possibility of being deported to Iran before, because of severed diplomatic relations with the U.S. Now the future appears more uncertain.

"Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested Friday at a federal immigration detention center where he has been protesting its opening this week, a federal prosecutor said.
"Alina Habba, interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, said on the social platform X that Baraka committed trespass and ignored warnings from #HomelandSecurity personnel to leave #DelaneyHall, a detention facility run by private prison operator #GeoGroup.
[...]
"Video shows the mayor standing on the public side of the gate
"In video of the altercation shared with The Associated Press, a federal official in a jacket with the logo of the Homeland Security Investigations can be heard telling Baraka he could not join a tour of the facility because 'you are not a congress member.'
"Baraka then left the secure area, rejoining protesters on the public side of the gate. Video showed him speaking through the gate to a man in a suit, who said: 'They’re talking about coming back to arrest you.'
" 'I’m not on their property. They can’t come out on the street and arrest me,' Baraka replied."

The mayor of Newark, New Jersey, has been arrested at a federal immigration detention center where he has been protesting its opening this week. A federal prosecutor says on the social platform X that Ras Baraka committed trespass Friday and ignored warnings to leave the Delaney Hall facility. Witnesses say Baraka tried to enter the center with three members of New Jersey’s congressional delegation who arrived unannounced to inspect it. They say he was arrested after returning to public property. Baraka has protested the construction and opening of the 1,000-bed detention center, including filing a lawsuit challenging its permits. The facility is run by a private operator.
Is #Trump planning to declare #MartialLaw on April 20? The frightening claim, explored
Story by Charlotte Simmons, March 14, 2025
"First, the essentials. Martial law is the term for when civilian government and legal processes (such as mayoral jurisdiction and police officers, respectively) are overtaken by state military, so as to make demands on behalf of the nation’s leader, and then enforce those demands with their wealth of resources. Typically, martial law is invoked in dangerous situations, such as natural disasters or major #CivilUnrest.
"This is different from the United States’ #InsurrectionAct, wherein those civilian enterprises are not replaced by military personnel and resources, but supplemented by them. More importantly, the official nature of the Insurrection Act allows the #POTUS to deploy the military domestically during emergencies, as the #PosseComitatus Act of 1878 prohibits the use of the military against American civilians. In short, the Insurrection Act can waive the rules of the Posse Comitatus Act to create a sort of #MiniMartialLaw. Remember this.
"Recently, fears have been rising over whether or not the United States could enter martial law on April 20 under Donald Trump. But why then? What is it about April 20 that holds significance? When Trump first took office back on January 20, he signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency at the United States’ southern border, requiring the secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security to submit a report about what the 'situation' is at said border, together with recommended actions for 'resolving' said 'situation.' This report needed to be submitted within 90 days.
"When this order was signed, Trump also declared that 'A #NationalEmergency exists at the southern border of the United States…I hereby declare that this national emergency requires use of the Armed Forces…' This, directly references the potential execution of the Insurrection Act.
"The Secretary of Defense? #PeteHegseth. The Secretary of #HomelandSecurity? #KristiNoem. Two of Donald Trump’s most prominent yes-men. And guess how many days January 20 and April 20 are apart? Ninety.
"So, essentially, on April 20, there’s a not-insignificant chance that those two aforementioned Trump yes-men are going to tell Trump whether or not he should deploy the military in the southern United States so as to crack down on immigration. Except, as we saw with the case of #MahmoudKhalil — a recent #ColumbiaUniversity graduate who played a major role in that student body’s recent #ProPalestinain campus occupations — it doesn’t matter if you have a green card or if you haven’t committed any crimes; under this presidency, #ICE will illegally detain you if they think you’re troublesome to the vision of #TrumpsAmerica. They’re trying to deport Khalil for speaking out against #genocide as we speak. This is a direct, wholly #unconstitutional attack on #FreeSpeech.
"And here’s why that distinction between the Insurrection Act and martial law was so important earlier. On April 20, Trump will constitutionally — through the Insurrection Act — be allowed to deploy the military against #AmericanCivilians, and his government has already demonstrated that legal American civilians who have not committed any crimes are at risk for detention and deportation. It’s not technically martial law, but this #Trumpian cocktail is just as bad, if not worse.
"#Khalil’s detention — again, occurring in response to his speaking out against the #genocide of #Palestinian people — was made on the grounds of Trump’s executive order prohibiting #AntiSemitism. How long before more executive orders (none of them made in good faith, let’s be clear on that) just so happen to limit more ways of speaking, acting, and thinking? A scary thought, and a horrifyingly pertinent one."
