*Observers — People targeted for filming, observing, or protesting ICE operations
*Immigrants — Non-criminal immigrants detained, including workplace raids
*Schools/Hospitals — Actions at or near schools, hospitals, and healthcare institutions
*Response — Official DHS/ICE statements about specific incidents"

#Apple #Banned an App That Simply #Archived Videos of #ICE #Abuses

Apple removed an app for preserving #TikToks , #Instagram reels, news reports, and #videos documenting abuses by ICE, 404 Media has learned. The app, called #EyesUp , differs from other banned apps such as #ICEBlock which were designed to report sightings of ICE officials in real-time to warn local communities.

As 75 #Democrats #Vote to Praise ICE, Ilhan Omar Wants to Hold Police Accountable for #Protest #Abuses by @akela_lacy https://theintercept.com/2025/06/11/protests-ilhan-omar-police-accountability/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=The%20Intercept%20Newsletter

One thing that has always ... baffled me
is the amount of people who help an authoritarian and fascist government
to abuse the population.
#North #Korea #Russia #USA
These governments would NOT exist
without the support of a part of the population that voluntarily
commits #crimes and #abuses to support the #dictatorship.
#Army, #police etc... they are also "citizens"
they suffer the consequences like everyone else
and yet
they are on the streets abusing the rights of EVERYONE
this is stupid.

#Congress authorized the #DOJ to conduct civil investigations into constitutional #abuses by #police, such as excessive use of force or racially-motivated policing, in 1994, as a response to the horrific beating of #RodneyKing, a #Black man, by #white #LAPD officers.

During #Biden's presidency, the #CivilRights Division launched 12 such "pattern or practice" investigations into police depts including #Phoenix, #NYC, #Trenton, #Memphis & #Lexington.

To #violence #abuses and #Crimes of a #fascist 'administration'
(if the #police forces are accomplices and DO NOT protect you)

reaction MUST be > violent <
'We the People' MUST stand their ground
do not allow abuse passively
fight (do not just 'protest')
make fascists afraid to operate in your communities and cities
(they already know they are committing crimes and for this reason
many cover their faces so as not to be recognized)
REACT
(being a martyr is useless).

By #law, the #State Dept releases annual reports for every country, & they traditionally follow one basic outline. The cuts ordered in the #Trump admin memo are not targeted at specific countries. Rather, they eliminate entire categories of #abuses from all the reports.

But some deletions are more noteworthy than others. The Trump admin recently negotiated the transfer of #immigrants from the #US into #ElSalvador's notorious #prison system.

The #State Dept is changing its mind about #HumanRights

The #Trump admin is substantially scaling back the State Dept's annual reports on international human rights to REMOVE longstanding critiques of #abuses such as harsh #prison conditions, govt #corruption & restrictions on participation in the political process, NPR learned.
