ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment. Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

Good things are still possible. In spite of every horrible thing.

June 14th. No Kings -ever- in Virginia. Dozens of cities across the state are rising. We all have the rights to peace, freedom and moving towards joy. We all know the words, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. @indivisibleva.bsky.social @rva-indivisible.bsky.social @henricodems.bsky.social

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

I remember when these cameras started going up everywhere. People who warned it was bad were dismissed for being conspiracy minded cranks. “Why are you against stopping people from running red lights?!” - well, this is why.

DAVID IS RELEASED and with his family! He still faces an unjust felony charge. While we’re relieved that David is out after three nights in detention, we demand the Trump regime drop the unjust charge against him & end the raids! seiu.co/endraids #FreeDavidEndRaids

"Data from a license plate-scanning tool that is primarily marketed as a surveillance solution for small towns to combat crimes like car jackings or finding missing people is being used by ICE" www.404media.co/ice-taps-int...

Read our open letter from VCU faculty citing concern about the silencing of student voices and unlawful withholding of diplomas from student activists: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

“If VCU thinks withholding my degree is going to silence me, that it’s going to prove a point, I think they’ve profoundly misunderstood who I am, profoundly misunderstood the movement.”

This is how you accurately write a headline. Rolling Stone gets it.

ICE is now asserting it's a federal crime for bystanders to request that masked people in plain clothes show identification as they're handcuffing folks and stuffing them into unmarked vans.

“It’s very chilling,” a Labor Department employee who requested anonymity for fear of retribution told ProPublica. “It’s never a good look when you’re telling people to never talk about what you’re doing.”

Federal agents did not have a warrant when they arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student who had been an outspoken advocate for Palestinian rights, according to court documents.

HEY RVA! THIS IS TONIGHT! So far @richmondlegalfund.bsky.social has raised $6k of a $10k of their goal and it’d be super chill to hit that goal tonight (or by weeks end! Music starts at 6! Let’s jam

“Dugan is accused of helping an undocumented immigrant evade arrest, according to Patel.”

In March, Trump admin sent out a stop work order for lawyers representing unaccompanied minors. Lawyers/advocates say this bizarre scene – a toddler before a judge and prosecutor – will be the norm if the administration is succesful.

Our Sunday story on what it's like for kids facing deportation to go before immigration judges. We sat in on juvenile immigration court in Fairfax County, where 7 year olds were in removal proceedings. Trump is trying to cut money for their lawyers. richmond.com/news/state-r...

Public defender Nicholas Reppucci says he has no idea where his client, Teodoro Dominguez Rodriguez, has been taken after he was detained during an alleged ICE raid at the Albemarle County Courthouse on Tuesday.

Once again, elementary school staff are standing up to ICE while the wealthiest, most powerful universities in the country meekly hand students over to anyone who shows up in black balaclavas and an unmarked car

Thirty faculty groups, including seventeen AAUP chapters, organized to join an amicus brief urging a preliminary injunction against ideological deportations of students and scholars

Kilmar Abrego Garcia had a court order preventing his deportation to his native El Salvador over fears he'd face persecution from gangs.

The news comes days after the University of Virginia joined the growing list of U.S. colleges where the federal government under the Trump administration has canceled some international students' visas.

It’s deeply embarrassing how swiftly American universities have caved to foreign interests, betraying their own students, shutting down dialogue, and abandoning the fundamental principle that universities should be spaces for the free exchange of ideas and diverse perspectives.

I'm grateful that this is happening and hope folks are able to support it!
