"Two protesters have been blinded by so-called “less-lethal” munitions deployed by federal officers during an anti-ICE protest last week in Santa Ana, California, according to reports."

Judge Hands #Trump Admin New Legal Loss Over #Minnesota #Protesters
By Anna Commander, Jan 16, 2026
Excerpt: "On Friday, U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez, appointed by former President Joe Biden, granted a preliminary injunction that restricts federal immigration agents—specifically those participating in #OperationMetroSurge—from taking retaliatory action against people 'engaging in peaceful and unobstructive #protest activity.'
"The order specifically prohibits the use of #PepperSpray or other crowd-dispersal tools in response to peaceful protest and bars agents from stopping or detaining protesters in vehicles unless they are 'forcibly obstructing or interfering with' officers."

Well, it’s happening. It’s a frightening time in the US.
I hope this is to protect the #protesters & not the “enforcers”.
#Minnesota Gov #TimWalz mobilizes state #NationalGuard amid ongoing #protests to support the MN State Patrol, Army Maj. Andrea Tsuchiya, state public affairs officer for the MN National Guard, said in a statement Saturday.
“We are staged & ready to respond. We are not deployed to city streets at this time,” Tsuchiya added.

Menendez’ decision Friday came in response to an emergency request from #protesters who sued #ICE in December, claiming that their actions have repeatedly been met with #unconstitutional #arrests & #violence. The protesters last week cited #ReneeGood’s death to push Menendez to expedite her decision.
The judge found that the protesters observed & criticized ICE officers, but “did not forcibly obstruct or impede the agents’ work,” & were otherwise non-violent & non-threatening.

The #subpoenas suggest the #DOJ is examining whether #TimWalz’s & #JacobFrey’s public statements disparaging the surge of officers & federal actions amount to #criminal interference in law enforcement work. The #law under which they are claiming to be investigating the two elected leaders is a federal statute on #conspiracy to impede a federal investigation similar to the charges filed against #protesters whom federal ofcls allege attempted to block #immigration officers as they do their work.
“It’s not just clashes between #protesters and #ICE; it’s an attack on basic #rights that we’ve taken for granted,” says #MinnesotaPublicRadio reporter Jon Collins.

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot #ReneeGood, a 37-year-old mother of three, in #Minneapolis last week, unleashing a wave of #AntiICE protests and sentiment throughout #Minnesota and the rest of the United States.
"On Wednesday evening, federal immigration agents shot and wounded a man in Minneapolis, adding to the tension in the Twin Cities. President Donald Trump threatened to send in troops to crush the unrest.
" 'What should be very clear to all Americans now is that there is no way to wage war on ‘illegal immigration’ without also waging war on American citizens,' says Adam Serwer, staff writer at The Atlantic.
"This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Jessica Washington examines how the Trump administration’s brutal deportation agenda is unfolding in Minnesota, sparking national backlash and renewed demands to #AbolishICE; the historical legacy of immigration enforcement in the U.S.; and the administration’s #racist vision of reshaping American society.

This is how to deal with #ICE, while protecting #Immigrants, #Americans, #Protesters.
#ChemicalAgents were used against #protesters, & 2 people were detained & later released. Protesters damaged an unmarked vehicle with police lights.
A #Minneapolis police officer who identified himself as a supervisor to several protesters told them he did not know exactly what happened. “It’s not like they’re talking to us,” he said, referring to the federal agents on scene.

A few minutes later, at least 2 #ICE agents arrived in an unmarked SUV & sprayed #ChemicalAgents in the faces of #protesters who approached them, causing one protester to say that he could not see. At one point, a protester fired several fireworks toward retreating ICE agents & their cars.

The Iranian judiciary on Thursday denied claims that it had sentenced protester Erfan Soltani to death for participating in anti-government protests. https://www.thestatesignal.com/iranian-judiciary-denies-protester-erfan-soltanis-death-sentencing-claims/

The accusations leveled by Brandon Sigüenza & Patty O’Keefe suggest that #DHS is employing similar tactics in #Minneapolis & #StPaul as it did during the crackdowns in #LosAngeles, #Chicago & #NewOrleans. Federal officers are again using roving patrols, #WarrantlessArrests & aggressive tactics such as spraying #ChemicalAgents, breaking car windows & recording #protesters, including #ReneeNicoleGood & her vehicle in the moments before an #ICE officer fatally shot her.
Telling #protesters who fight to defend themselves from #ICE agents that they are no better than #Jan6 insurrectionist is like telling a #rape victim that if she fights to defend herself from her rapist, then she is no better than her rapist. This is what we call #VictimBlaming.
Death toll from #Iran #protests surpasses 2,000, activists say, as #Trump encourages #protesters
Since we know he has no fondness for #dissent, what’s he really after???
The number of dead climbed to at least 2,003, as reported by the #US based #HumanRights Activists News Agency. That figure dwarfs the death toll from any other round of protest or unrest in Iran in decades & recalls the chaos surrounding the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.

I jut found this. Not mine.
From a comrade:
It would be a shame if the #protesters began making their signs out of quarter-inch-thick plywood to stop #rubber #bullets, forming a tight shield wall to prevent police from singling out and mobbing individual protesters. It would be a shame if the people behind the shield wall held up umbrellas so that tear gas canisters fired over their heads on the front line will be bounced away. It would be a shame if protesters began constructing improvised armor vests out of duct tape, hard-backed books, and ceramic tiles.
It would be a shame if protesters started wearing safety glasses, hard hats, respirators, and gardening gloves, all of which can be found at the same hardware stores as the plywood. It would be a shame if they started using traffic cones (the kind without the hole in the top), upside down buckets, or other improvised lids to contain teargas by placing them over the canisters.
It would be a shame if protesters learned that police scanners are legal to own in the US, allowing them to learn where police are moving, and what routes they intend to take. It would be a shame if they discovered that these scanners can be used to send as well as receive, allowing them to flood the scanner frequencies with noise.
All of this would be a terrible, terrible shame.
**An even worse shame would be to start donating these items to protesters.
It would be a TERRIBLE shame if they also started making these and distributing them.
Use a handheld scroll saw to cut the pieces out, and a blowtorch, sandpaper, or scotch Brite grinding wheel to deburr the edges.
To form them better to fit the body, you can use a heat gun to soften the plastic and make it more pliable, bend it to shape and then cool it rapidly in a storage bin full of water. You can alsop shape them by putting the pieces into a 200 degrees (Fahrenheit) oven for 15 minutes. From there you shape them as rapidly as possible (oven mitts are highlu recommended), and then quench to cool the plastic and set the shape.
Glue foam floor mat to the inside for additional shock absorption and assemble with straps. The original maker used leather, as he works leather as a hobby and generally have some lying around. I used Chicago screws to attach them, and locate to secure the threads, but really the attachment and assembly method isn't a hard line to make these work, so use whatever method you prefer.
You can also get these barrels in black or white (use white to make armor for medics).
*It would be an awful shame if you copied and pasted this and saved the pics to post yourself, so that they couldn't delete the original and all linked posts (again).
