The cause of this serious breach? FUSION CENTERS! You've probably never heard of a fusion center, but these shadowy spying centers have likely heard of you. It's more urgent than ever to protect Californians from the spying and racial and religious profiling fusion centers are unleashing. 1/

The CA Assembly just PASSED AB 1537, The No Side Jobs for ICE Act, by Asm. Bryan @ib2real.bsky.social! This bill will ensure local police and sheriffs can’t “moonlight” as deportation agents. THANK YOU to Asm. Bryan, coauthors, all members who voted yes, and supporters. Now, on to the Senate!

That was fast! AB 1537 has ALREADY passed the Assembly and now is heading on the Senate!

NOW: AB 1537 by Asm. @ib2real.bsky.social, the No Side Jobs for ICE Act, is being heard on the Assembly Floor right now! This bill will ensure local police and sheriffs can’t “moonlight” as deportation agents, closing a loophole in state law. Stay tuned!

We stand in unwavering solidarity with the Muslim American community following the horrific attack on the Islamic Center.

NEW: We're very disappointed that SB 1095 was held today. It was the first ever-legislation in our state to protect Californians from Fusion Centers' spying and racial profiling. We're grateful to Sen @senatorsrp.bsky.social for authoring this bill and we'll continue the fight. Our full statement ⬇️

We're excited to share that SB 1095 passed its second policy committee yesterday! We're so glad this critical bill is moving forward. Updated language will be in print soon. Thank you @senatorsrp.bsky.social; lead witness Saira Hussain, Senior Staff Atty at @eff.org; and all who supported!

BREAKING: SB 1095, "Expose Data Deportation Centers," by @senatorsrp.bsky.social just PASSED out of the CA Senate's Privacy Committee! We're proud to co-sponsor this bill, the first-EVER in CA to seek transparency and accountability from secretive, shadowy entities known as “Fusion Centers.” 1/

"An ICE officer fired a shot before Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez moved his vehicle after being stopped Tuesday morning in Patterson, a witness said."

We're horrified and outraged by ICE's shooting of Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez. We hope he’ll make a full recovery and are keeping his family in our thoughts. AG @robbonta.bsky.social MUST investigate the Turlock PD's possible collusion with ICE - AND the shooting itself. Our full statement ⬇️

That video from SF Airport is outrageous. Local or state police should have ZERO role aiding n abetting that violence. #IceOutOfAirports @iceoutofca.bsky.social NEWS #KTVU: Community groups demand answers from SFPD, seen in viral ICE video at SFO www.ktvu.com/video/fmc-c2...

🚨 NEW REPORT: ICE transfers in Orange County aren’t slowing down, they are increasing. A recent Harbor Institute report finds the OC Sheriff’s Department transferred 239 community members to ICE in 2025, continuing a steady year-over-year increase. #ICEOut #AbolishICE #OrangeCounty

The No Side Jobs for ICE Act (AB 1537) is common sense: local law enforcement shouldn’t moonlight for ICE or other agencies abducting our neighbors. Why are some police and sheriff associations OPPOSING this legislation? We need to uncover the truth 🧵

Breaking: AB 1537 by Asm. Isaac Bryan, the No Side Jobs for ICE Act, has PASSED out of the Assembly Public Safety Committee! Thank you to Asm. Bryan @ib2real.bsky.social, to the committee members who voted “aye,” and all who supported! 1/

Gov. Newsom @governor.ca.gov your state prison system uses racial profiling to gamble w/ppl’s lives. You’ve turned over to ICE U.S. citizens, DV survivors; ppl who’ve earned release who want to give back. P.S. free advice: stop trying to sound like Ben Shapiro. That interview was humiliating.

Farm workers in solidarity with Minnesota! ¡Campesinos en solidaridad con Minnesota! #IceOut

As i often say- there is MUCH that local and state elected officials can to do protect our communities from fed overreach - to mitigate the regressive disaster of trumpism- and to stand up for due process, and human rights. #IceOut

Today we joined local leaders in SF to support Asm @ib2real.bsky.social's AB 1537, the No Side Jobs for ICE Act. Our coalition is proud to sponsor this important bill. www.courthousenews.com/california-b... 1/

As a sanctuary city, San Francisco has long led the nation in protecting immigrants—because we know that when immigrant communities feel safe, everyone is safer.

From widespread reports of ICE kidnappings to the killing of Renée Good, we’ve seen the devastating harm this rogue agency inflicts. We’re standing w/SF Supe Mahmood to support AB 1537, a critical state bill to protect Californians by preventing local & state law enforcement from working for ICE.

🚨ICE has spent millions trying to recruit local police and sheriffs. And right now, nothing in state law prevents local officers from taking “side jobs” as deportation agents. AB 1537 by @isaacgbryan.bsky.social will CLOSE this loophole. We’re proud to sponsor this important bill. 🧵

The callousness on display in Minneapolis is not an isolated incident nor a symptom of dysfunction at DHS - it is the very nature of American immigration enforcement operating as designed. 🧵

I SO wish there hadn't been a reason for me write this: www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Held in a jail cell for three days and nights, he was not allowed to make a phone call, see an attorney, appear before a judge, or take a shower to wash off pepper spray and tear gas that the agents had used www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

“What happens next is up to all of us. The legal system is failing. But we, the people, must not fail.” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Chris Newman of @ndlon.bsky.social reminds us that "as the Supreme Court dispenses with facts and relies instead on racist stereotypes" ... "The obligation now falls on local governments and the public at large to use every tool at their disposal" to protect our neighbors. ndlon.org/statement-fr...

"This ruling is a huge setback for all Americans. The Supreme Court's order means that ordinary aspects of our daily lives, where we work, the language we speak, or the communities we live in can be a basis for detention and questioning."

“When federal agencies are allowed to operate like a secret police force—stopping, arresting, and detaining people based on race, language, or occupation—the constitutional rights of all people are at risk.”

My statement on the awful decision out of the Supreme Court today ndlon.org/statement-fr...

Trump’s unprecedented agenda is unmistakably authoritarian. The deployment of the National Guard in Washington DC and in 20 states, including Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Texas and Louisiana, is an alarming unilateral move that is supercharging the already massive police presence in communities.

@silkys13.bsky.social: “There are so many things we’ve seen before — poor food quality, abuse by guards, not having clean clothes or underwear, not getting hygiene products. But the scale at which it’s happening feels greater, because it’s happening everywhere.” www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

Trump’s cruel mass detention and deportation agenda has reached a previously unimaginable scope and scale with ICE planning to double its detention capacity by the end of this year to detain nearly 110,000 people. Texas alone will have the capacity to detain at least 37,000 people.

ICYMI: A federal judge recently DISMISSED a Trump lawsuit that sought to upend Illinois’ sanctuary laws. This is good news! Sanctuary laws are not only legally sound but ensure we use our local resources for the common good, NOT to help ICE separate families. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

During the second quarter of 2025, CoreCivic’s revenue from its contracts with ICE rose about 17 percent from last year’s second quarter, from $151 million to over $176 million. The company has been repeatedly accused of operating inhumane and dangerous lock-ups.

Last month, the devastating ICE raids at the Glass House farms in Ventura County disappeared hundreds of farmers, and led to Jaime Alanís' death as he feared for his life. An important read and lessons from organizers on the ground, and what this means for all of us: lithub.com/what-ices-as...

Amidst endless stories of inhumane courthouse arrests, it’s important to understand that behind each abduction is the story of a neighbor who was unjustly targeted. Today, let’s talk about Jenny, who fled Cuba seeking asylum, taken by ICE in San Antonio, Texas 🔗 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
