Body cams have been a game changer. But ICE & other law enforcement have learned to deactivate them / delete footage when they do something wrong. The best way to stop ICE brutality is to get them out of our communities. More from NPAP's Lauren Bonds @npr.org www.npr.org/2026/07/16/n...

We need ICE off of our streets, and we need accountability for the harm that they have already caused. We can't count on this administration to do the right thing. Accountability has to be community-led. Our Executive Director Lauren Bonds talks with @npr.org www.npr.org/2026/07/14/n...

With 2 extrajudicial executions in one week & 3 total deaths from ICE encounters, in the words of our Executive Director Lauren Bonds: “It’s clear that the only way to prevent ICE from killing us in the streets is to remove ICE from the streets.”

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

After 19 yrs in prison, Marwan Snodgrass came home & dedicated himself to his community. Now he’s facing 9 mo behind bars for a toy gun he didn't know was in his home. This is punishment, not rehabilitation. Write a letter to stop his unnecessary re-incarceration! @ofupac.bsky.social

ICE is not making communities safer. This is not safety. It's an extrajudicial public execution. We demand justice, transparency & the release of all information.

Update: ICE agents involved in killing of a Biddeford man were not wearing body cameras.

The agents who killed Tyrin & Alfonso were both federal agents & part of the so-called Memphis Safe Task Force. Instead of having to demand investigations into killings, we want the killings to end. Unwanted federal agents & National Guard members need to leave local communities immediately.

“Palantir is not a company that is pro–public interest or welfare, or public health.”

The son of the man shot and killed by ICE: I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

ICE says agent shot and killed Houston driver, FBI investigating

As NPAP member Jordan Kushner put it: “Antifa is just another buzz word they use to single people out and persecute them." We're proud of our community of civil rights attorneys for representing organizers, protestors, and legal observers exercising their right to resist escalating state terror.

"Less than 1% of people who've been harmed by the police actually file a lawsuit, and the biggest barrier is 'I couldn't find anyone to take my case.'" - NPAP Executive Director Lauren Bonds bsky.app/profile/npap...

No one should die because of shoplifting. Especially not a 1-year old baby, whose mother was there to get him diapers. Rest in peace, Kohen Wiley.🕊️ May this never happen to another person or child. May we never rest until this stops. #nojusticenopeace

We're hearing reports that police have tear gassed a group of protesters outside the Senatobia Walmart where an officer shot and killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.

Say his name… Kohen Wiley

Egregious constitutional violations without meaningful accountability are a hallmark of this Trump administration but, of course, are nothing new. Fred Smith & I wrote about civil rights deserts in Mississippi & strategies to address them wherever they exist. harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-13...

NPAP Executive Director Lauren Bonds on the @yourrightscamp.bsky.social podcast breaks down how we hold police, jails, prisons, ICE agents, parole officers, and prosecutors accountable on two fronts: in the courtroom and in policy. 👀 Watch the full episode youtube.com/watch?v=7hlW8crbBrQ

"No person — citizen or immigrant — should be subjected to unlawful violence without accountability," said NPAP President @jonfeinberg.bsky.social People harmed by excessive force, unlawful detention & other forms of violence by DHS are entitled to damages, and we are here to help them.

Holding federal law enforcement can be difficult, particularly if you're an elected official. Our Executive Director Lauren Bonds on how states are empowering communities to pursue accountability through their own civil rights actions, and what that looks like in practice.

We're seeking justice for Taylor Lowery, a father, brother & son killed by Topeka police. Instead of de-escalating, the officers shot him 34 times. Now we know why: the City of Topeka’s “de-escalation training” tells police to “have a plan to kill.” bit.ly/taylor-lowery

A timely and important reminder that state prosecutors can file criminal charges against federal agents like ICE when their conduct violates the Constitution. Read our FAQ to learn more about state regulation of ICE and other federal cops: nationalpoliceaccountability.org/wp-content/u...

Police wrongly raided my home. It's not an isolated mistake. | Opinion Deadly raids based on faulty information aren't isolated mistakes – they're systemic failures. The Supreme Court has an opportunity to restore the original meaning of the Fourth Amendment.

For state leaders, the path is clear: Act decisively to protect immigrant communities. New York must include $175M for immigration legal representation in the final budget.

As Governor Hochul and state legislators negotiate the FY27 budget, New York must invest $175 million in immigrant legal services to protect our communities from Trump’s immigration agenda. Urge NY leaders to push back against cruelty: secure.vera.org/a/adv-pd-fy2...

A budget is also a moral document. "Too many immigrant families feel excluded as the federal govt escalates its crackdown on immigrants." Murad Awawdeh Without adequately funded protections, immigrant NY-ers will have difficulty accessing basic services & protections. https://ow.ly/tnIG50YNCVP

The murder of Ronald Greene by LSP helped prompt a 2022 investigation by the DOJ that founded his violent death was not an outlier. When Trump took office, he rescinded these findings & halted reform, leaving civil rights cases like this one of the few remaining avenues for justice.

They Called 911 for Help. Police Sent Them to ICE Detention Instead. As more local police collaborate with ICE, even some crime victims and people who call 911 are facing arrest. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/05/11/f...

The Columbus Safety Collective declared victory on city Issue 5 shortly after polls closed.

The people of Washington state deserve law enforcement leadership who are held to the same standards as the people who work for them.

Too often, police arrests for low-level traffic violations put people's safety & lives at risk, resulting in injury & death. @visionzeronet.bsky.social @policingproject.bsky.social outline a different approach: effective, equitable recs that put safety first.

2 cases in MN & CO are testing if states can hold federal immigration officers accountable. The first cases since this year's immigration crackdown, they represent an emerging pathway for justice at a time when we need it most. More via @law360.bsky.social www.law360.com/articles/246...

The Trump administration has been aggressively targeting immigrant communities and raising serious concerns about civil & human rights. Don't miss this discussion with Lauren Bonds, Executive Director of @npapjustice.bsky.social, @vox.com's @imillhiser.bsky.social, and our @rachelrossi.bsky.social.

Working with other lawyers is about sharing resources, expertise, and representing clients who are a part of a larger social movement. We're here @cunylaw.bsky.social talking about the importance of collective litigation.

The Trump administration's targeting of civil rights groups is a dangerous abuse of power. Law enforcement, including the DOJ, should never be weaponized because the administration disagrees with its advocacy. We stand with SPLC.

Instead, we call on @governor.ny.gov to make a *real* commitment to protect New Yorkers and pass the New York for All Act #NY4All Our full statement: www.immigrantdefenseproject.org/governor-hoc...

NEW: IDP responds to @governor.ny.gov's proposal enabling law enforcement to use "probably cause" as a criteria for turning immigrant NYers over to ICE. TL;DR This proposal would incentivize and exacerbate racial profiling in arrests and likely increase unlawful arrests.
