The men in the van must not be deported. They are witnesses to a cold-blooded murder. Deporting them is witness tampering.

The abuses just keep coming from the lawless arm of a lawless regime. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Not surprising that a rogue agency that violates the law daily and ignores court orders would also LIE to a court. Shut down ICE now! nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/news/news...

The concept of habeus corpus goes back to the Magna Carta and is enshrined in the United States Constitution. Of course a lawless racist militia like ICE would thumb their noses at it. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/06/01/i...

Any agency that habitually violates laws should be shut down. theintercept.com/2026/07/01/i...

More ICE thuggery. It's out of control and must be shut down. newrepublic.com/post/212340/...

The Trump administration has suffered a number of setbacks. Repression is it's only reply. inthesetimes.com/article/prai...

Something to look at in each town on the SouthCoast.

Community Action Alert!

Human Rights Watch has released a comprehensive report detailing human rights abuses by the government during this winter’s immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, which the group alleges also violates international human rights treaties that the U.S. is signed onto.

What’s in YOUR wallet? Hopefully not a Citizens Bank ATM card. Citizens is one of the chief investors in privatized ICE detention facilities. https://www.de-icecitizensbank.org/

A pattern emerges… americasvoice.org/press_releas...

The feds have a $1 trillion budget, and ICE just got another $90 billion. The least we can do is help out the defense: https://chuffed.org/project/186570-minnesota-15-legal-defense-fund

They know it’s a weak case, but the point is to harass those who push back against ICE. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/06/17/government-is-facing-an-uphill-climb-in-charges-against-minnesotans-law-expert-says

Trump says defending our communities from human rights abuses is not just a “crime” but a “conspiracy”… https://theintercept.com/2026/06/17/ice-indictment-minneapolis-protesters/

Whatever the merits of the government’s case, it’s clear they want to make an example of Minnesota’s resistance to their gestapo tactics in that city https://therealnews.com/minnesota-trade-unionists-among-those-targeted-in-federal-indictments-of-ice-observers

AMEN to that! https://americasvoice.org/blog/its-long-past-time-to-protect-dreamers/

Good question. https://progressive.org/latest/why-is-illinois-failing-to-hold-ice-agents-accountable-takaki-20260616/

ICE is a lawless rogue militia. It doesn’t need any more money; it needs to be shut down. https://scheerpost.com/2026/06/16/ice-tries-to-raid-legal-offices-demanding-files-on-migrant-children/
