The Jersey Bee updated our style guide this week to include the term “concentration camp,” using it to describe Delaney Hall, an ICE facility in Newark where nearly 300 detainees are alleging inhumane conditions and violations of their legal rights. jerseybee.org/2026/06/11/w...

Why we’re calling Delaney Hall a “concentration camp” – The Jersey Bee

The term describes facilities where targeted groups are held without due process under inhumane conditions.

Agreed! And civil rights firms need contingency fees today in part bc defense lawyers & Scotus have worked to undermine fee shifting statutes.

This @galvinalmanza.bsky.social piece is brilliant. While highlighting criminal justice implications, it reminds me of @hoffprof.bsky.social 's work on the link between transportation and eviction.

Props to @haelinchoi.bsky.social and the team from @handsoffnyc.bsky.social @bkindivisible.bsky.social @thenyic.bsky.social and the 1000+ people (incl. Rosa & me) who turned out yesterday for training/organizing events in Brooklyn & the Bronx to protect our neighbors and get Trump’s ICE out of NYC.

i’m at the brooklyn training. amazing energy.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high. This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

So grateful to everyone in NYC who mobilized to stop the ICE raid of Canal St. The violence being committed against immigrants is heart-wrenching, but the shows of solidarity we have seen around the country give me so much hope.

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union. They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration. More updates TK.

I'm so proud of my people today. ICE tried to pull a quick early morning in-&-out raid in a quiet industrial part of Saint Paul. Instead they were met by hundreds of protesters, including the mayor and the local council member, whistles shrieking, braving the tear gas, forcing ICE to leave early.

Well, that was something. Showed up for deportation defense training in Borough Park, trainers arrived, said there was “evolving situation” in Bensonhurst, were we up for heading there, we said Hell yeah, went and met folks on the ground, ICE ended up driving out of the hood with no one detained 🔥✊

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness. I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.
