Those dreams — of land, of dignified labor — echo far beyond Brazil. They underlie the struggles of India’s #Dalits, South Africa’s #squatters, and peasants from Colombia to the Philippines. That universal quality led the world’s largest coalition of rural movements, La #VíaCampesina, to declare April 17 the International Day of Peasant Struggle.

The records confirm "the worst thoughts that we had about the operation," Mark Fleming, the associate director of federal litigation at the National Immigrant Justice Center, told NPR.
"This is the most brazen #unconstitutional #UseOfForce in an operation that I've seen in my entire career," he said. "They have no legal authority to be addressing purported #squatters; that is not within the purview of the #FederalGovernment."

But arrest records for two of the men show the government's stated reason for the raid was to take out #squatters, not #gang members. The documents were included in a motion filed in an ongoing case challenging #warrantless #arrests in #Chicago.
In the documents, #DHS stated "this operation was based on intelligence that there were illegal aliens unlawfully occupying apartments in the building." There is no mention of criminal gangs or Tren de Aragua.
Court records show #Chicago #immigration raid was about #squatters, not Venezuelan #gangs
Newly revealed arrest records show that a high-profile immigration raid on a South Shore Chicago apartment building last year that became a symbol of #Trump's harsh immigration tactics actually targeted squatters, not Venezuelan gang members.
