New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

It’s a federal crime for anyone, including government officials, to intimidate or threaten someone in order to interfere with their right to vote. Know your rights when you head to the polls.

Tomorrow! 🍿

BREAKING: An appeals court just postponed President Trump's National Guard deployment to Portland, Oregon until Tuesday so the full court can vote on whether it will hear the case.

Judge Immergut said she would rule by Monday, if not earlier, on whether she will keep all or part of her second restraining order in place. The order currently bans the deployment of any national guard troops to the ICE building in Portland. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Federal agents raided the WRONG HOME in Portland—no warrant, guns drawn on a family with a baby. ICE still arrested 2 people after realizing the mistake. ICE official on the aggressive tactics: "If people interpret that as aggressive, so be it."

“I’ve never seen this level of fear or anxiety. People are terrified."

“That willingness to make yourself ridiculous can be very disarming,” said a professor who has studied — and engaged in — absurd protest methods.

Portland is poised to pay $300,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a man who spent more than five years in prison for selling heroin that police told him had caused a fatal overdose, only to learn after completing his sentence that his victim was actually alive. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

🧵The Ninth Circuit has cleared the way for federalization of the Oregon National Guard. The court has said troops can be deployed on Portland's streets while we wait for a final outcome in this case.

🚨 UPDATE: More federal troops could be deployed to Oregon this week to support ICE and other federal forces until a larger court hearing can be held. This means increased enforcement risks for our immigrant communities. Please take steps now to keep yourself and your family safe.
