Even worse. Basque police have trained with the iof so they were just doing what they've been taught.

Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

Ice operations have moved to harassing folk in Memphis

From the article:

The case in Memphis also challenges Tennessee’s Halo Law, which criminalizes anyone who gets within 25 feet of an officer after they’ve been warned to step away. Task force agents are invoking the law against observers who are not interfering, and sometimes forcing them back even farther than required so they can no longer see or hear. “It unconstitutionally burdens people’s ability to engage in gathering information and recording what task force agents are doing,” ACLU attorney Scarlet Kim told me. [...]

The surge has not gotten much national attention in part because Tennessee’s Republican governor supports it—he has said it will continue indefinitely. And the Trump administration has framed it not as an immigration crackdown, which would get a lot of press coverage, but as a crime crackdown. (Task force officers from other agencies are arresting people primarily for traffic violations and crimes, but they call DHS officers when they encounter immigrants.)

Demster also believes Memphis has yet to grab the nation’s attention because people like him who want to get the word out are facing retaliation. It’s all part of the task force’s plan “to operate in the shadows,” he says.

Donnell Morgan Jr. remains at large, and ICE won't even acknowledge that he exists despite the nationwide warrant for his arrest.

Sometimes I come across posts that are like "The national democrat party is complicit in all this shit, they're marginally less right wing than the republican party, and here are sixty examples that prove that. I won't vote for people who aren't different than the shit I'm trying to fight against." and every single time. Someone derails it to talk about like 'well what are you doing locally?' which has nothing to do with anything that anyone said. "Have you joined a union, and a renter's union, and a soup kitchen, and built your own homeless shelter? No, then you should shut the fuck up about democrats being sparkly fascists until you've met the criteria that I made up that has nothing to do with expressing an informed opinion about said Democrat party."

We should all be talking about KOSA. The bill would mean the end of the open internet in the US, and it was just approved by a House committee for a floor vote. The act is ostensibly designed to regulate the age of social media users. However, it actually deanonymizes the internet and allows the government to sue LGBTQ+ websites.

Unsurprisingly, the Heritage Foundation is one of the main lobbying groups behind this push. They have publicly stated they want to use the law to restrict LGBTQ+ and abortion-related content. Blocking children under 16 from accessing the internet means young people will be isolated within their communities. They cannot discuss LGBTQ+ issues with their online peers. They could not request help to access abortion clinics. Senator Marsha Blackburn, who once personally sent the FBI to my doorstep to harass me, admits the law is intended to shield “minor children from the transgender [sic] in this culture.”

“The through-line couldn’t be clearer: destroying online anonymity is a way for government to be able to identify ¬— and ultimately punish — dissenters,” explains Ari Cohn, lead counsel for tech policy at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. The DHS has already subpoenaed hundreds of anonymous accounts tracking and protesting ICE. KOSA would make it even easier for the government to access your data.
