Trump is Sending Special Forces-style Agents into Pro-Immigrant Cities | ACLU

Two new tactics in the administration’s attack on the prerogatives of state and local governments to focus their resources on local public safety and welfare needs, rather than on federal immigration enforcement.

From 2020!
> It is all too easy to imagine BORTAC agents further escalating situations where ICE agents are already known to use excessive force, including arrests at courthouses and worksite raids. And with Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf’s announcement that these SWAT-like agents would be dressed in plainclothes ⁠— disguising officers trained for special operations to navigate communities undetected— that risk will be heightened further.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I've been wondering if the thugs are some _American Taliban_? let loose inside the USA with their beards shaved off. I saw an article somewhere about the suprising numbers of people that have been through Special Forces. Some of them were getting $5,000 per killing from the cartels in Mexico.. Like _Savages_ movie but not cool, huh?
It was probably Nick Turse or Jeremy Scahill writing about it, one of the TomDispatch people..
Most awesome festival event yesterday. Taking me a day to recover. Delighted to see Sinead O'Connor look-alke there but no one knew the other "bald-headed brave little girl": I asked her and others around. The daughter of a woman from South Africa was there with her kind-eyed husband from Pakistan. He laughed as I went to my knees trying to apologize from the USA gov't (after 3 beers!). Great chance to appreciate local South Kyushu Talent #NanBuShiki #南部式 #笑福神楽団 #巨神伝説太鼓衆 #大隅弥五郎太鼓 #都城ふるさと夜市

> In the 1886 case of Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad, a legal sleight-of-hand provided corporations with the same protections as human beings ("persons") under the 14th Amendment. In a series of cases in the late 1800s, the Court developed a doctrine known as "substantive due process " by which the Court could substitute its judgment for that of the legislature to decide whether a particular law was wise policy.

> She and her husband have been able to remain home since, and keep a low profile. She knew the group because they had organized initiatives to support vendors during the height of the coronavirus pandemic – and on occasion she had worked with them to distribute her tamales to unhoused people and others in need.

‘We’re seeing the best of LA’: as Ice raids haunt the city, Angelenos show up for each other

With the largest undocumented population of any US city, much of LA locks in with fundraisers, mutual aid networks and grocery deliveries
