A 9-year-old pepper sprayed in handcuffs, crying for her dad. A teenager wrestled to the ground, and another pepper sprayed while waiting for the bus. All were Black girls hurt by police.

Even in a government shutdown, the 13th largest army in the world wages war in Chicago. ICE’s militarized raids & abductions are terrorizing communities—while billions are poured into their hands. @sarahlazare.bsky.social & @lindsaykosh.bsky.social report: inthesetimes.com/article/ice-...

One immigrant detained at Fort Bliss was given psychotropic medication with no record of consent. Another was placed on suicide watch, with no record of anyone actually watching them. A new investigation reveals horrific violations at the Fort Bliss detention facility, even by ICE’s own standards.

ICE is using a "staging facility" in Louisiana to hold people for days and deporting them before they can call a lawyer to defend their rights. “Louisiana is where people go to be disappeared,” said Nora Ahmed of the ACLU of Louisiana.

🧵 Dems like Newsom & Bass are building the police state. && it is both pathetic & dangerous & typical of his career that @gavinnewsom.bsky.social would try to make political hay out of both defying the imposition of Federal troops to LA & then deploy California state cops to do the same things::
