Join us at @nlg.org's #Law4thePeople tmrw for a CLE about the powerful legal tool attorneys are using to hold federal agents, including ICE, accountable. With experts from @democracyforward.org @ij.org @macarthurjustice.bsky.social nationalpoliceaccountability.org/event/federa...

The approval by inspectors means nothing in the jail that killed Alexis Cardenas, our client, a husband & father of four who should never been jailed in the first place. NPAP's case is one of many exposing Harris County Jail's violence, overcrowding, neglect & abuse.

🍎Join us this month in NYC @cunylaw.bsky.social & virtually as we hearing from these living legends from @legalaidnyc.bsky.social @cardozolaw.bsky.social. 🚕 Our two-day CLE will focus on collaborative litigation. 🗽 REGISTER at bit.ly/nyc-cle

On this year's #TransDayofVisibility the intersection of state violence against trans people & ICE's mass deportation machine is alarmingly clear. From the Prairieland defendants to our client Maria Ordoñez-Vargas, trans people are being denied medical care, dignity & rights.

Congratulations and thank you to Afroman for highlighting police dishonesty and defending the First Amendment. A win for police accountability and America (that suit!).

☎️ URGENT PHONE ZAP FOR PRAIRIELAND DEFENDANTS 📣 We have 2 critical demands: 1) Return Rowan Gibson to general population 2) Provide everyone with tablet access now Tablets are critical for all the defendants who just had their federal trial because they need to communicate with their lawyers!

North Carolina exemplifies an alarming pattern: officers who face discipline for misconduct are resigning...only to be rehired by another law enforcement agency. carolinapublicpress.org/74955/wandering-officers-widespread-across-nc-police-agencies

This week, Trump deployed ICE to major airports across the US. As travelers face the presence of militarized agents known for violent aggression, make sure you & the people you know & love #KnowYourRights: bit.ly/kyr-airport

As ICE is deployed to major US airports to perform TSA functions they are untrained to do, bookmark our directory of lawyers who can help if you or someone you know has your rights violated while traveling. bit.ly/find-an-attorney

TSA currently employs about 50,000 screening agents. ICE currently employs about 22,000 agents. This threat won’t solve the TSA funding issue, and it would also come at the expense of further degrading his already unpopular & incompetent immigration program

First of all, maybe TSA agents are quitting because they don’t want to sleep in their cars since they can’t afford gas. Second, ICE agents are barely trained to be ICE agents. Now they’re being put in airports to do TSA’s job with zero training. What could go wrong? PAY TSA AGENTS, NOT ICE.

Just 1 week after the 6th anniversary of her murder. These officers killed Breonna Taylor during a botched, no-knock raid that uncovered no drugs. From a DOJ that earlier this month quietly rescinded no-knock warrants. This is not justice. This is not a dept that is interested in accountability.

Our Executive Director Lauren Bonds fought – and defeated – a Kansas law like the SAVE Act. A federal judged ruled it was unconstitutional and disenfranchised tens of thousands of voters. The SAVE Act will disenfranchise countless more.

Teen migrant dies in ICE custody as second death in a week sparks concern. A 19-year-old Mexican migrant has died in ICE custody at a Florida detention center, with officials saying the death is a presumed suicide as investigations continue. www.themirror.com/news/us-news...

Tomorrow: ICE Surveillance 101 ⚡ We’re kicking off our Power Down Surveillance series with a breakdown of the tech ICE uses—from facial recognition to social media monitoring—and how it impacts immigrant communities. 🗓️ March 19, 2 PM ET

Today Mullin will be asked how he plans to lead DHS. For those living under the constant threat of aggression, a change leadership means nothing if the abuse & violence of the past year continue to escalate. Here are 5 questions he needs to answer. nationalpoliceaccountability.org/5-questions-...

In the wake of ICE violence in MN, we trained lawyers on the FTCA, a remedy for ppl harmed by ICE & other federal agents to hold the government accountable. Now we're bringing our training to Detroit #Law4thePeople @nlg.org @democracyforward.org @macarthurjustice.bsky.social bit.ly/FTCA-training

Leqaa Kordia was released today after a year in federal immigration detention. As S.T.O.P.’s Eleni Manis and Michelle Dahl write, her detention was enabled by data-sharing between the NYPD and ICE: "It's the predictable consequence of New York City’s out-of-control surveillance infrastructure."

If you want to directly support the defendants, write to them, send books, any kind of support, check the link below.

Everything about this trial from beginning to end has proven what we have said all along: this is a sham trial, built on political persecution and ideological attacks coming from the top.

Thinking about the people & lawyers that dismissed the alarm about Antifa being designated as a domestic terrorist group. The government just used “material support” for “antifa materials” & “domestic terrorism” to convict 9 people in Prairieland.

This spring in NYC @cunylaw.bsky.social and virtually, we'll focus on how to effectively coordinate, strategize, and partner with other attorneys, academics, civil rights clinics, and legislators to hold police accountable. Register at bit.ly/nyc-cle

OTD 6 yrs ago, Breonna Taylor was killed in her home during a botched raid by Louisville PD. Despite the outrage that followed, few laws have changed. As we demand accountability for ICE's brutality, we must demand the same from local police.

“Surveillance technologies are increasingly being deployed against the public to undermine our First Amendment rights and our right to call out the injustices of our government,” said S.T.O.P. Communications Director Will Owen.

Newark’s civilian oversight board works with residents who report police misconduct and has advocated for the state to give them stronger powers. “It gives folks a stake in what is happening in the police department,” says one of the board’s commissioners.

Palantir, aiding Trump's deportation efforts, gets its name from Lord of the Rings, so “I don't think it's a stretch to say that some tech CEOs & politicians are reading dystopian books as instruction manuals,” EFF’s Will Greenberg told UCF’s The Charge. www.nicholsonstudentmedia.com/news/dystop...

With the city's contract for the system up for renewal in June, ShotSpotter comes with a high price tag, low response rates from local law enforcement, and false identifications in communities that are already harassed and overpoliced. @michiganadvance.com

He helped attorneys sue Wellpath—one of the largest private prison medical contractors in the US. He advanced legislation to enable more people to sue the federal government for ICE abuses. Meet Devontae Torriente. nationalpoliceaccountability.org/celebrating-legal-fellow-devontae-torriente

Last week, we filed a complaint on behalf of the family of Alexis Cardenas, a 32yo husband and father of 4 who died after multiple jail officers assaulted and restrained him while he was being released from the Harris County Jail. HCSO's culture of violence has prompted 2 federal investigations.

"It's really hard to report misconduct if you don't know the officer that is responsible for the harm." Our Executive Director on @kshb41.bsky.social about Jackson County's proposed ordinance to require identification & prohibit masking for federal agents including ICE. bit.ly/4svhYLj

Renee Good filed a petition in Jackson County Circuit Court on Oct. 18, 2023, to change her last name. She gave a Kansas City address.

Speak up and ban ICE wearing masks in Jackson County and oppose a detention center in South Kansas City Monday Feb. 9th at 3 pm at the Eastern Jackson County Courthouse.

One of New York's largest hospital networks will use biometric tech to verify patient and employee identity: “New Yorkers should not have to hand over their faces to receive healthcare,” said S.T.O.P. Communications Director Will Owen. Read more. www.biometricupdate.com/202603/clear...

S.T.O.P.'s Power Down Surveillance campaign is bringing you a new event series to break down the tech behind mass surveillance—and how communities can push back. First session: ICE Surveillance 101 🗓️March 19 | 2 PM ET Register: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

🚨BREAKING: We reached a historic agreement with Columbus elected officials to place a unified crisis response program on the May 2026 primary election ballot! Our amendment will enable non-police response workers to meet the needs of community members experiencing behavioral health crises. 🧵

For the @nlg.org Week of Abolition, we sat down with Robert Saleem Holbrook of @abolitionistlawcenter.org about why abolishing ICE should be a baseline, whether you consider yourself an abolitionist or not. #abolishice

This is quite the order. Worth reading in its entirety.

The DA in Minneapolis is investigating Bovino and others.

OTD 35 yrs ago LAPD assaulted Rodney King. It was a defining moment in Black history & a catalyst for the creation of NPAP, founded by a group of lawyers to ensure all victims of police brutality have an advocate. Among them: John Burris who won a $3.8m verdict for the late Mr. King bit.ly/4rK9rnL

Police presence at voting sites can be intimidating to many voters–particularly voters of color–and deter them from exercising their constitutionally protected right to vote. This Election Day, #knowyourrights when interacting with police & federal agents like ICE. bit.ly/kyr-vote

As we mourn the death of Nurul Shah Alam, we are faced with yet another reminder that Border Patrol and ICE are not here to keep people safe.

We filed a complaint to seek justice for the family of Alexis Jovany Cardenas & demand accountability from Harris County Sheriff's Office, whose culture of violence have prompted 2 separate federal investigations in the span of 15 yrs. nationalpoliceaccountability.org/family-of-al...

ICE agents may not be the ones facing a criminal trial for killing Dr. Davis but their employer, the federal government, can and should be sued for causing her avoidable death. Read more from our Executive Director via @acslaw.bsky.social www.acslaw.org/expertforum/...

Last night during the State of the Union President Trump said "the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens." If that were true, Alex Pretti, Renée Good, Linda Davis, Keith Porter & Ruben Ray Martinez would still be alive today. #SOTU

We are heartbroken to learn that 23yo Ruben Ray Martinez's promising young life was senselessly cut short when ICE agents fatally shot him last March – the third known US citizen to be killed by federal immigration agents under the present administration. Our call for accountability: bit.ly/4aIq1Nw

Journalists based in Missouri and nationwide: email us your questions about accountability for ICE, DHS, and law enforcement at all levels of government.

Senators are asking the bare minimum in exchange for DHS funding: to obey the Constitution & adopt basic accountability measures. We can't keep funding a federal immigration apparatus that terrorizes our communities & kills people in broad daylight. nationalpoliceaccountability.org/what-the-dhs...

Rest in Peace, Dr. Linda Davis. We've seen too many times how police escalate chases into unnecessarily dangerous, fatal tragedies, especially for Black people. Now we're seeing the pattern continue with ICE.

Linda Davis was killed by ICE today. A Black woman, a beloved teacher, killed by ICE in Savannah, Georgia. Her name is Linda Davis and she was killed by our government.
