Video of incident we mentioned earlier—masked ICE agents rushing to move a car out of the road after they broke windows and detained someone on the southwest side. This car was eventually returned to family. We're told agents abandoned several other vehicles today around Chicago.

More than 50 years after Augusto Pinochet’s coup, apologists for its neoliberal dictatorship are close to taking office. But Communist Jeannette Jara could block them from taking power.

When the Trump Administration rewrote the rules around immigration enforcement, the people of Chicago, Illinois, were ready. Read the full story by @malcriada.bsky.social on The Progressive. progressive.org/magazine/a-s... #immigration #deportation #ICE

🎙️Migrant communities and labor organizing are intrinsically connected says @malcriada.bsky.social. She draws a line from anti-immigrant movements of the 1920s to the present in her recent writing for @theprogressivemag.bsky.social and @inthesetimes.com. Listen here: www.wortfm.org/repatriation...

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

My Polish grandpa was a Nazi POW, and I am proud to have been able to write this piece in his memory to mark 80 years since the anti-fascist victory in Europe for @theprogressivemag.bsky.social

Donald Trump has aggressively pushed migrants to self-deport. It is a strategy the Republicans have learned from the global far right, which has sought to circumvent human rights by creating a hostile environment for immigrants.

The FBI and other law enforcement agencies raided multiple homes in Michigan, reportedly targeting a number of student activists connected to Gaza solidarity protests at the University of Michigan. mondoweiss.net/2025/04/fbi-...

OPINION: Just last week, Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party adopted a bill that would allow the government to temporarily strip dual citizens of their Hungarian passports, should they be deemed to have acted “in the interest of foreign powers.” The ambitions of this bill are clear as day.

what a brilliant and definitely useful technology

Fox News has resorted to just straight up lying about Abrego Garcia, who has never been convicted or even charged with a crime

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

I don't think I see the media making this distinction enough. "Deportation" is generally understood to be a transfer of a person to *liberty* elsewhere. Transferring them to indefinite, violent detention is not deportation.

The party that won Germany’s election is radically softening its approach to working with the far right as the reality of the country’s transformed political landscape starts to bite.

How's that poem go? "First they came for the communists / And I did not speak out / Because I was not a communist." Big thanks to @theprogressivemag.bsky.social for allowing me to share this experience.

In a new study of 25000 heterosexual couples correlates to a previous study that showed when the wife was sick, the rate of divorce was 7x higher than if the husband was sick.

They're here legally. They have SSNs, a driver's license, jobs cleaning hotels. They gave immigration officials their address. On Monday, federal agents took them from their home in handcuffs as their children screamed @teoarmus.bsky.social @mariasacchetti.bsky.social Steve Thompson wapo.st/4hcBWof

“Senior described Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.” A legal resident, abused upon return, no explanation given… 😳

NEW: Family of Mahmoud Khalil just released footage of his arrest “Stop resisting” “He’s not resisting” Agents seen continuing to ignore Mahmoud’s wife as she asks basic questions

second unexplained logan detention (and deportation)

excited to hear the ADL's defense of this one

One very telling detail from Khalil's arrest: www.courtlistener.com/docket/69719...

Journalists and rights groups say press freedom is a fiction in Turkey. Is the US headed the same way?

“Today, it’s less a matter of fighting the Taliban or ISIS or whatever, but of supporting Israel’s project, the genocide in Gaza, more explicitly and unconditionally," @ayoub.bsky.social of @fromtheperiphery.com told @theprogressivemag.bsky.social.

Under the Trump administration, the Department of Homeland Security has launched a $200 million ad campaign calling on immigrants to self-deport. These moves have already torn apart communities and rallied far-right extremists.

“The Trump administration has crafted their own lose-lose solution for the undocumented community...the claim of voluntariness at play is rhetoric to dispel the very real restrictionist, xenophobic, and inhumane actions under the guise of fixing immigration policy," says historian Emiliano Aguilar.

New: we've obtained a leaked list of the more than 200 sites, services, apps an ICE surveillance contractor monitors. Bluesky, OnlyFans, many more. Used to track targets. Highly relevant with the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil by ICE. We've published the full list here: www.404media.co/the-200-site...

Joined the Latino Media Collective podcast along with historian Emiliano Aguilar to discuss how the Repatriation Movement impacted the original Mexican colonia in the city of East Chicago, Indiana

Here is a legal defense and support fund for Mahmoud Khalil. Their baby is coming soon. Please let's help. chuffed.org/project/just...

🚨SCOOP: Marco Rubio Personally Signed Off to Detain Mahmoud Khalil on 'Foreign Policy Grounds' (w/ @premthakker.bsky.social) zeteo.com/p/marco-rubi...

Far-Right + Trump team-up. "A Zionist activist group, Betar USA, claimed credit for releasing Khalil’s name to the Trump administration, praising his detention. The Anti-Defamation League has listed the group as a hate group – the only Jewish group on the list." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.

Columbia University bent over backwards to appease rightwing attacks against anti-war and anti-occupation students and faculty, yet the U.S. government still cut their funding. The school’s president, rather than resisting, has pledge to esclalate their attacks on peace and human rights activists.

Walmart called the police on a cis-woman using the women's bathroom. Even after proving she's a woman, "one deputy continued to question her appearance, insisting she 'looked like a man.'" 😡 😡 😡

Kevin Zaldaña Ramírez fled El Salvador after gangs tried to recruit him. He was granted a special legal status for minors, but was detained in Houston anyway. His mother Yolanda, who depends on Kevin because of her limited vision, called for his release houstonlanding.org/trumps-aggre...

The Trump administration is reportedly using AI technologies in order to label foreign nationals in the U.S. as “pro-Hamas” and revoke their visas, a new report finds, in a chilling program called “Catch and Revoke.”

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

ahhhhhhhhhh

The migrant community ”doesn’t need national groups to come in and save them.” “They need a community that’s backing them block-by-block in the neighborhoods."

“I anticipate an increase in people making the heartbreaking decision to ​‘self-deport,’” says Bindhu Vijayan. Read the @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social article that features Beyond's Executive Director:

Thank you for sharing your expertise and your experiences in the anti-apartheid movement, @szunes.bsky.social 🙏

In 2009, students across the UK occupied campus buildings in solidarity with Gaza, a preview of the encampment movement. I spoke with @szunes.bsky.social + @quiqui.bsky.social about why students today face such repression, and the seeds their movement planted, for @theprogressivemag.bsky.social

This isn't the first time the US has pushed people to 'self-deport.'

Nationwide, hundreds of thousands of Mexicans--and Mexican Americans--were pressured by their neighbors to "go back" to Mexico. In the East Chicago Harbor, half of the Mexican neighborhood left when the local White community had them removed from lifesaving Depression relief.

Nothing like working with a skilled editor! Thank you, Jessica 🙏

This is deeply disturbing! What is written here literally sounds like it could be a history from the early days of the Nazis.
