International Friendship Park, built as a symbol of US-Mexico friendship in 1971, is now flanked by double 30-ft walls & open-air detention sites. $46.5B is funding more. This is not security. It's deterrence with a documented human cost. Read Pedro Rios' firsthand account🦂🔗:

Abolish ICE? Yes, absolutely, but don't forget about Border Patrol, an agency with a 100+ history of operating with impunity. Accountability is a must in a context where the constitution has less applicability. Nice job, @sergioolmos.bsky.social @wendyfry.bsky.social Bell¿ingcat and Evident.

Fallible logic: what's tolerable for border communities is not for interior communities. Good news for Minneapolis & interior communities, bad news for El Centro & border communities. Bovino will continue his state violence in El Centro. Back to status quo militarization, brutality, & opaqueness.

A federal agent observing a protest at San Diego's federal bldg wears "Violent Gentlemen" shirt from a site that has "Ice in our blood" as a tagline a day after his colleague in MN murdered Renee N.

Heads up, friends. This promises to be hard hitting. In May 2010, CBP & ICE agents brutalized & tortured Anastasio Hernandez Rojas at the San Ysidro POE. His family, in their relentless pursuit for justice, worked with advocates to expose the cover-up. This documentary tells that story. Stay tuned.

The climate is such that they no longer feel a need to wear hoods.

Graciela Asunción Gómez Hernández died while crossing into the US in Sept 2025. Her body wasn't found until Oct. Today I accompanied volunteers who installed a cross in her memory.

If Border Patrol leaders take over ICE, it's likely both agencies will continue avoiding repercussions for violence and deaths in custody.

On Halloween and every other day of the year, which side are you on? the working class or billionaires? Photo from protest at San Diego Federal Building, where ICE abducts migrants attending ICE check-ins & court hearings, & where ICE detains people at the building's basement & denies it does this.

The Trump regime is purging ICE officials in offices in 5 major US cities & will fill some of those top posts with senior Border Patrol agents who will take over interior immigration enforcement in those regions. The regime is going for tried and tested cruelty. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...
