Looks like we’re using Gitmo to imprison immigrants again. This is an ICE charter airline owned by ICE’s flight broker using the callsign they use for all their ICE flights.
🚨 Did you know iceout.org can alert you if ICE is reported in your area? Turn on notifications for a custom alert area—no account or personal info required. All too often, ICE is abducting people in silence. When you get an alert, get to the scene as fast as possible to record, make noise, etc
“We have done everything through immigration to get his green card approved, and we are just waiting. This is heartbreaking for me. I don’t know how I can mentally continue working 12+ hour days knowing that my dad is somewhere, possibly being treated like a criminal.”

Joshua Aviles says he is on a nine-month Middle East deployment and learned his father has been arrested while he was waiting for green card approval

As Seattle sees surge in ICE arrests, residents, advocates on edge
Amid a reported surge of immigration arrests across Seattle, residents are starting to see detainments closer to home.

People on ICE flights are shackled at their wrists, ankles, and waists. This goes against basic decency and FAA safety regulations. People in chains cannot evacuate swiftly in the event of an emergency. Please sign this petition to put pressure on pilots and FAA actionnetwork.org/petitions/en...
Today @ 11:28AM, La Resistencia volunteers observing deportation flights told us 1 person came off plane to be detained at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma & 34 people boarded the plane to be transferred and/or deported #AbolishICE #AbolishGEOGROUP #ChingaLaMigra #ShutdownNWDC #FreeThemALL
These gloves don't cause neuromuscular incapacitation the way that a taser does. In fact, they only work when applied directly to bare skin. These aren't made for apprehending anyone. These have one and only one use: causing extreme pain to already-restrained captives. In plain language: torture.
Zero surprise that these are explicitly designed to cause pain without leaving a mark, not to incapacitate. Yes, we're spending $20M to buy ICE agents torture devices.
This is crazy. Alex is from Brazil, why would they deport him to Guyana? He’s a longtime West Hollywood resident who has been following his immigration requirements. He wasn’t hiding. He wasn’t on the run. He showed up for his required ICE check-in. And that’s where they detained him.

One Woman’s Message From the Hell of ICE Detention
My husband, son, and I have been locked up for months—despite being permanent residents with no criminal record. It is an unendurable, unending nightmare.

This is insane. New immigration judges, many of whom have never read a single immigration law case in their life before they got the job, are getting just 12 weekdays of training before they go on the bench, and very little of it is on the substantive law.
First "three weeks"? Not really. It was 12 weekdays, May 4–19. The final day was transportation, investiture rehearsal, and the ceremony, not classroom instruction. It was three calendar weeks, not three full weeks of “formal, intensive classroom training.”
“At immigration court for detained children in New York City on Wednesday, a boy named Diego represented himself in front of the judge, Lisa Ling.” "I don’t know how to do it,” he said about an asylum form he was asked to fill out in English. “I don’t know if you can help me fill it out.”
11 Years Old. In Immigration Court. Alone. No Lawyer.
More children than ever before are being forced to face immigration judges by themselves without legal representation, advocates say.

ICYMI at @americasvoice.bsky.social: Trump stripped legal assistance from thousands of immigrant kids after refusing to pay its bills and allowing a federal contract to expire. The regime has since awarded a new $150m contract to a small, Trump-linked firm with little experience in immigration law:

July was ICE’s busiest month yet in the Puget Sound region. It’s a stealthy surge, without the helicopters or smoke grenades of Chicago and MN. But the surge is real, with real people taken every day. Each red pin is someone’s family member, neighbor, coworker, loved one.
We’re making whistle kits today Friday August 7 and then again in two weeks on Friday August 21 Join us!
Join us tomorrow Friday 7/10 to make whistle kits! Downtown Seattle at Common Power (directions below) We give free whistle kits to anyone who wants them. Whether you need one for yourself or 100 for your preschool community, please come by! Drop-ins welcome @ourcommonpower.bsky.social #seattle

As everything seems to crater around us, I want to impress upon you that there is ALWAYS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO. Billionaires and their politicians want us to believe that we are helpless. We are NOT. If something makes you mad, find out who's responsible and CALL THEM. Tell others to call.
Dropped off 450 @wawhistles.bsky.social kits around my community today. Because #ICE has got to go.
Please help recover a detained community member’s car from impound and get it back to their family before it is auctioned off. Every day adds $101.25 to the recovery fee! Venmo @SKCsolidarity with note "car" or "🚗" venmo.com/u/SKCsolidar... Every little bit helps!
Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.
Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations
The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.

When ICE agents make a stop and a car is left behind, it’s usually towed and impounded. Then fees accumulate and it’s on the family to pay. When Angel Tepale gets the call, he holds the vehicles at his own small lot and tries to find the rightful owners, all for no charge.
