Trump’s #Immigration Forces Deploy “Less Lethal” #Weapons in Dangerous Ways, Skirting Rules and Maiming #Protesters
Since President Donald #Trump ’s admin launched high-intensity immigration sweeps this year, federal agents have routinely countered protestors using crowd control weapons — #RubberBullets , flash-bang grenades, #TearGas and #PepperBalls. They’ve fired on American #citizens and noncitizens alike in ways that some experts say might be criminal.

Bowman, meanwhile, repeatedly accused Khojasteh of trying to hijack the proceedings with his drumbeat of objections & accusations….
“Stop it. Just stop it,” an exasperated Bowman told Khojasteh at one point. “You don’t need to give speeches.”
The transcript of #Bovino’s #deposition was made part of the court record…in an ongoing lawsuit accusing… #CBP & #ICE of routinely violating a restraining order issued by US Dist Judge Sara Ellis limiting #UseOfForce against #protesters & #media.

#Protesters Clash with #ICE Agents Again in the #TwinCities
#Trump’s popularity has hit its lowest point thus far this term, thanks to widespread #EconomicHardship and Trump’s entanglement in the #EpsteinFiles. As federal agencies expand their #AntiImmigrant operations around the country this week—targeting #NorthCarolina, #Louisiana, and #Mississippi — and people weigh how to respond, a great deal hangs in the balance.
A Firsthand Report

"On the morning of November 18, news circulated that federal agents were gathered in St. Paul, Minnesota, presumably to carry out a raid attacking immigrants. Hundreds of people rapidly assembled to surround and impede them. Below, we present an account from a front-line participant."

Put the #protesters in jail while welcoming and protecting #WarCriminals.
Yep, that tracks. This is nazi-safe #canada after all.
How Cops Are Using #Flock Safety's #ALPR Network to Surveil #Protesters & #Activists
Thru analysis of 10 months of nationwide searches on Flock servers, we discovered that more than 50 federal, state, & local agencies ran hundreds of searches thru Flock's national network of #surveillance data in connection with #protest activity … specifically targeted known #activist groups, demonstrating how mass surveillance tech increasingly threatens our freedom to demonstrate

#UK insists on arresting pro-Palestine🇵🇸 #protesters
"#AntiZionist #protesters heckle #Jews and chant for an #intifada outside a #NewYorkCity #synagogue.
The protesters gather outside the Park East Synagogue in #Manhattan to protest an event by #NefeshBnefesh, a group that helps Jews immigrate to #Israel.
The protesters chant, “There is only one solution, intifada revolution,” “No peace on stolen land,” and , “We don’t want no two states, we want ‘48.”
“#Palestine is #Arab,” they chant in #Arabic. One woman holds a sign that says “#Zionism is a death cult.”
One woman shouts “You fucking #Jewish pricks” at Jews walking past. Another shouts “you’re a Fucking rapist and racist the two worst things in the fucking world” at a man with an #Israeli flag."
I remember someone telling me synagogue protests were only against visiting real estate groups when I said I wasn't a fan. But this seems to have morphed quite a bit beyond that. 👀
Statehood notwithstanding, is the left now a 'no borders except for Jews' movement? 🤔
The #Trump admin asked for the pause on Nov 10, saying the judge’s order impermissibly micromanaged federal law enforcement in #Chicago.
US Dist Judge Sara Ellis in Chicago issued the order on Nov 6 after siding with a group of #protesters, #journalists & #clergy members who claimed they were being specifically targeted for violence in violation of their rights to #FreeSpeech, #FreedomOfAssembly & #ReligiousFreedom under the #US #Constitution.
What started as a #peaceful #protest outside the #ICE processing facility in #Broadview erupted into shoving & multiple arrests Friday morning. Several #protesters & 4 police officers were injured during the clash, & 21 demonstrators, including faith leaders, were arrested.…the highest number of arrests made outside the suburban facility since the start of “Operation Midway Blitz,” #Trump’s aggressive #deportation campaign in the #Chicago area.
The departure also comes after a clash between local law enforcement officers & #protesters, including faith leaders, outside the #ICE processing facility in #Broadview led to 21 arrests.

We asked a former federal agent to review videos showing use of #force against #protesters.

"Thousands of #protesters have descended on #Washington as Refuse #Fascism and nearly 20 partner groups mark the first week of their 'Flood D.C.' campaign to demand #President Donald Trump's removal from office."
We wish them all the best of luck, and hope for their continued safety in the face of fascism.

#Trump later said he’d told #Oregon’s governor, Tina Kotek, that “unless they’re playing false tapes, this looked like World War II. Your place is burning down.”
ProPublica examined months of #FoxNews’ coverage & reviewed >700 video clips posted to social media by #protesters, counterprotesters & others in the 3 months preceding the Sept 4 broadcast.
The review found that the “news” network repeatedly provided a “misleading” picture of what was happening in #Portland.
…“To read a #poem as part of a justification or a rationale for a judgment of this importance shows how #art can express the complexities of what we’re living through in ways that maybe other forms of speech can’t,” said Reddy, also a professor of English & creative writing at U of C.
Ellis’ order placed further restrictions on the agents’ use of “riot control weapons” & certain restraint techniques against #protesters & observers amid the #Trump admin’s #deportation campaign in #Chicago.
https://www.theguardian.com/law/2025/nov/08/jailed-uk-climate-protesters-facing-conditions-reserved-for-extremists-on-release. The absolutely appalling treatment of the UK's jailed #climate #protesters is a #humanrights scandal, @andrewstroehlein, @humanrightswatch, @commissionerHR, @GeraldKutney - & MUST be rectified immediately. These people shouldn't have been put in prison in the first place, let alone treated as "extremists" on release.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs told Ellis that federal agents repeatedly & brazenly violated the constitutional rights of #protesters & #journalists during aggressive #immigration raids, which began 2 months ago.
