In a video filmed in Chiapas, Perez’s father expresses disbelief at the official account of his son’s death and pleads for help bringing his body home. “My son could not have taken his own life like that because he’s not mentally unwell. There’s nothing wrong with him. He was fine.”

The father of Royer Perez-Jimenez, the teen who died in ICE custody in Florida, is asking for help to bring his son’s body home to Mexico. “The hardest part now is bringing my son’s body here,” he says. “It’s not cheap.” www.miaminewtimes.com/news/family-...

www.theborderchronicle.com/the-dna-arch... Sharing this newly published investigation, coreported by me and a colleague. The DNA database crucial in migrant identification in the borderlands for years has itself gone missing. Co-published by @theborderchronicle.bsky.social and @highcountrynews.org

The Colibrí Center's DNA database, built to identify migrants who died crossing the border and reunite families, has gone dark since fall 2024. A board member says it may be destroyed. Hundreds of families are left without answers. In collaboration with @highcountrynews.org 🔗🦂

Not an apartheid state—merely a state that sentences people to die by hanging based on their race.

What is the threshold at which ICE "facilities" become legible in the popular psyche as death camps? A death every month, every week, every day, every hour...?

ANOTHER death in ICE custody. That makes 14 in 2026, and we’re not even done with March yet. This is on track to be the deadliest year for immigration detention in the U.S. ever. Period.

neither a garrison state nor an apartheid state, just a normal country, a bastion of democracy even, that happens to subject an ethnically distinct population to a different, militarized legal system complete with capital punishment

High school students in New Jersey receive message through Google Classroom inviting them to earn service hours volunteering at an ICE concentration camp.

In the last fourteen or so months at least thirty six people have died in ICE custody. Horrible.

A Mexican teenager has died “by presumed suicide” in ICE detention in South Florida.

Horrible and hopefully enlightening to everyone who lionized Chavez and his "non-violence" knowing he was a proud anti-"wetback," anti-communist crusader who collaborated with Border Patrol, snitched on undocumented migrants, endorsed Zionism, and ran the UFW like a dictator...

A Palestinian woman who was the last person still in immigration detention after the Trump administration's 2025 crackdown on pro-Palestinian activists has been released.

Checking in on the evolving legal definition of “terrorism”:

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.

Checking in on the evolving legal definition of “terrorism”:

We have a verdict and we are heartbroken at the results. This is only the beginning. We will continue to fight the remaining charges until every defendant is home.

There's video footage of the soldiers gang raping him. They sodomized the man with a knife, then Israelis held a "right to rape" protest and IDF soldiers and Knesset members rioted in defense of the perpetrators. Israel tortures Palestinian prisoners as a matter of routine policy.

"military reporting"

Since declaring war in the Caribbean Sea & Pacific Ocean, US has killed at least 145 people in lethal strikes on boats. These never-ending & interchangeable wars (war on drugs, war on terror, and war on migrants) by US Southern Command no longer even have to specify what org they are targeting!

Incredible victory! After years of organizing across Canada, Scotia Bank has divested from Elbit Systems! Elbit is Israel's largest weapons company, arming the occupation and genocide of Palestine. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Cruelty that would make a Dickens villain blush.

A judge has ordered that Guatemalan journalist Jose Ruben Zamora be returned to house arrest again while awaiting trial after spending nearly a year in jail in his latest stint of incarceration.

Important update on Rojava and an accessible summary of the current convoluted context ⬇️

The Rojava Revolution in Peril, the Struggle for Free Life Continues With the backing of the Turkish government and the blessing of the US and European governments, the Syrian military is attempting to forcibly integrate Rojava into a newly centralized Syrian state. The outcome remains to be seen.

This is just the tip of the iceberg and should come as no surprise.

This 22 year ICE veteran probably just needed more training

This is just the tip of the iceberg and should come as no surprise.

*concentration camps

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

Also bears repeating that Tom Homan was first appointed to ICE leadership by Obama.

"Despite what they say, it’s not that fascists don’t want migrants; they rely on an anti-migrant politics in order to further racism and in order to further the exploitation, precarity and deportability of migrants."

Last September, Silverio Villegas was gunned down by an ICE officer near Franklin Park, Chicago. The United States has already forgotten his name. Even the New York Times, the paper of record, recently identified him only as “a Mexican immigrant.” beta.elfaro.net/en/ef-photo-...

A for-profit concentration camp opened by Obama in 2014 and normalized by corporate media as necessary for containing the ‘flood,’ ‘surge’ etc of ‘illegal’ families ‘pouring’ over the border.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

“The community’s response has been to create an ecosystem of care that does more than proclaim to ‘love your neighbor’—members of the Somali community, alongside allies across community lines, are building the means necessary to protect and defend each other.” ❤️‍🔥

"while more Americans are killed," which is to say: "ICE & Border Patrol need to stop killing citizens and go back to killing migrants, so we can go back to brunch."
