On ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’ Florida’s potential future immigration detention site in the Everglades, I say let them build it. It will be useful to detain the arrested ICE agents in the near future.

Per the AP story, it will house about 5,000 beds. It will have to be expanded to house the ICE members that engaged in unlawful activities.

Quite disgusted they let a known felon into Canada. What happened to all this border protection rhetoric?

I want to puke.

FRONTEX* has published propaganda material about deportations. For kids. Happy families get deported by happy police officers. And there are nice activities included, like drawing your friends and family.

🤯

This orwellian piece is available in several languages (FR, DE, PT, ES, EN):

* Europe's border police force, responsible for thousands of deaths and human rights violations

Frontex poster about deportation for kids. Happy families go to the airport and make an exciting travel accompanied by happy officers. Yay! /sA page from the activity book of the "toolbox for children in return". 
Top: A smiling dark-skinned kid with long black hair receives a paper plane, there are speech-bubbles around her to be filled out with "wishes from your frinds".  
Bottom: A smiling  light-skinned kid with brown hair holds a letter in their hands. Besides is the title: 
"Friends want to keep in contact with" and some space to write down names and contact details of your friends.
This is no sarcasm. The document is authentic. Fuck racist Frontex.

"A data broker owned by the country’s major airlines, including Delta, American Airlines, and United, collected U.S. travellers’ domestic flight records, sold access to them to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and then as part of the contract told CBP to not reveal where the data came from, according to internal CBP documents obtained by 404 Media. The data includes passenger names, their full flight itineraries, and financial details.

CBP, a part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), says it needs this data to support state and local police to track people of interest’s air travel across the country, in a purchase that has alarmed civil liberties experts.

The documents reveal for the first time in detail why at least one part of DHS purchased such information, and comes after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detailed its own purchase of the data. The documents also show for the first time that the data broker, called the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC), tells government agencies not to mention where it sourced the flight data from.

“The big airlines—through a shady data broker that they own called ARC—are selling the government bulk access to Americans' sensitive information, revealing where they fly and the credit card they used,” Senator Ron Wyden said in a statement."

"The United States government has collected DNA samples from upwards of 133,000 migrant children and teenagers—including at least one 4-year-old—and uploaded their genetic data into a national criminal database used by local, state, and federal law enforcement, according to documents reviewed by WIRED.

The records, quietly released by the US Customs and Border Protection earlier this year, offer the most detailed look to date at the scale of CBP’s controversial DNA collection program. They reveal for the first time just how deeply the government’s biometric surveillance reaches into the lives of migrant children, some of whom may still be learning to read or tie their shoes—yet whose DNA is now stored in a system originally built for convicted sex offenders and violent criminals.

WIRED has made this article free for all to read because it is based on reporting from Freedom of Information Act requests or public government documents. Please consider subscribing to support our journalism.

The Department of Justice has argued that extensive DNA collection activity at the border provides “an assessment of the danger” a migrant potentially “poses to the public” and will essentially help solve crimes that may be committed in the future. Experts say that the children’s raw genetic material will be stored indefinitely and worry that, without proper guardrails, the DNA dragnet could eventually be used for more extensive profiling.

Spanning from October 2020 through the end of 2024, the records show that CBP swabbed the cheeks of between 829,000 and 2.8 million people, with experts estimating that the true figure, excluding duplicates, is likely well over 1.5 million. That number includes as many as 133,539 children and teenagers. These figures mark a sweeping expansion of biometric surveillance—one that explicitly targets migrant populations, including children."

Lithuania takes Belarus to the International Court of Justice over a migration crisis.

Lithuania has filed a case against Belarus at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, accusing the regime of President Alexander Lukashenko of deliberately orchestrating a migrant crisis in violation of international law, the Foreign Ministry announced Monday.

Brits will soon be allowed to use e-gates at more EU airports.

British travellers will soon be able to use e-gates at more EU airports, after negotiations between the UK government and the EU to finalise a ‘post-Brexit reset deal’.

It means UK passport holders will no longer have to wait at manned desks and instead be allowed to use fast-track e-gates usually reserved for EU or European Economic Area citizens.

"As outrageous as it sounds, federal authorities have broad power to question and search U.S. citizens at the border without a warrant, probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion. Though the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable search and seizure, the Supreme Court has recognized a so-called border search exception.

This authority applies to anyone located within 100 miles of a land border or coastline — the "border zone" — which incidentally covers over two-thirds of the U.S. population.

CBP has frequently used these powers since 9/11 to target Muslims, but up until Trump, they rarely targeted American citizens so overtly for voicing their opinions. As Hasan told me, he had never been targeted before.

How was Hasan selected, and why? That part remains a secret. Which federal agency or intelligence service flagged him is unknown.

But how they targeted him is known, and it’s a capability ripe for abuse."
