At least one journalist was hospitalized after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were seen cursing out, grabbing and shoving reporters on a public elevator.According to amNewYork, ICE agents were apprehending a suspected immigrant inside the elevator at 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan o…
“a suspected immigrant”
Coming to the US is now a crime. I hope everyone is paying attention.
Most of us are, but the Canadian government still isn’t. Here’s the travel advisory page where they categorize it as “green” risk and say
United States - Take normal security precautions

Back in July the CBC reported:
Global Affairs Canada said it’s aware of roughly 55 Canadians in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, though it said that the numbers can fluctuate.

Our current leadership is a disgrace. Regardless of political leaning, Carney is letting Canada down.
On the Australian site too.
It’s purely geo-politics, and I hate it.
You’re out of your mind if you enter into the United States as a foreigner, from where I’m sitting.
Being in the US is now grounds for arrest
Anyone have a non paywalled version? Started reading it only to find you have to subscribe to the Atlantic
My goto is always archive.is
Amazingly, reader mode in LibreWolf still gets around paywalls generally. Can’t say if it also works in regular Firefox
It does. Almost every page does that I come across.
Liberals laid all the groundwork.
In the US, The Heritage Foundation has been laying the groundwork since the mid-1970s.
But, sure, it’s the “Libs”…
Guess who’s been happily voting for The Heritage foundations nominees?
Conservatives. Republicans.
We all wish.
Libs, as in centrist neoliberals, enabled the far right as it is now.
On a tangent, I didn’t know Heritage Foundation has been around that long. I can imagine they popped up as a response to the hippie counterculture. I’m not excusing the Heritage, but the left and right dichotomy is like a pendulum that always swings on either side. Now the pendulum swung closer to the far right, if we’re not already there.
sheep do think like that. just cause dems were forced to overturn the 60 vote threshold by an uncooperative minority party holding congress hostage. ignore everything else conservatives did to dismantle centuries of established precedence and law
I did not say Dems. I said Liberals. Because it does not solely apply do Dems. Also to pre-Hitler Germany caving to the far right on everything.
Lol.
Such a stupid comment.
Educate yourself. Or find someone that can educate you.
This is an absolute must read.
I’m honestly curious when people are gonna start actually ambushing and executing these ICEcubes, because they’re making it pretty obvious that they’re clear and present dangers to civil society, and generally enemies of perfectly normal and fully law abiding citizens (not to mention the vast majority of absolutely harmless undocumented immigrants that are being targeted as scapegoats).
They’re basically a far-right militia at this point.
Well if people start executing ICE I’m not going to say anything about it.
It’s like how you aren’t legally required to render aid in California. If I saw a wrecked car with a maga bumper sticker, then I didn’t see a wrecked car ;)
I take mental note of the fascists in my neighborhood (Trump flags, thin blue line flags, let’s go Brandon stickers, don’t tread on me crap, etc). I live in the middle of a fire risk zone in California. If there’s a fire, I’m not helping the fascists evacuate. They voted for crooks that don’t believe in science and climate change so they can sleep in the bed they made. That bed being a grave.
I too am surprised not to have heard of ambushes. Maybe their tip line is so swampped with BS protest tips, that they don’t even check the tips. Without that, there isn’t much of a way to know where they will be. Which means at least one person in ICE is probably smart.
That said… killing federal officers probably isn’t a great plan. But if you could incapacitate them somehow, and like sharpie thier foreheads or something, that would be pretty funny. And of course take a photo with thier mask off…
Again useless news title. This passive voice is good for academic writing not news articles.
I lose my mind over this, too.
ICE Agents Attack Journalists, is accurate
Confrontation with ICE Agents Ends with One Journalist in Hospital, is still accurate.
This title makes it sound like the journalist tripped and fell on their way to bother some ICE agents.

Everyone should be arming themselves and everyone they know for what’s coming. I don’t pretend to know exactly what’s coming and exactly what it will look like, but you will definitely want to be armed.
Looking for self-defense classes for my SO. Sure, it’s illegal to fight back, but I mean it mostly to minimize their attack. Also, encouraging them to do daily calisthenics. Fortunately they’ve always been athletic so it’s not a huge encouragement.
We’re not their target yet, but I’ve no doubt that soon everyone will be.
It’s going to be illegal for a lot of us to even exist soon. Might as well fight back.
Break the law if it means saving your life
Good trouble.
It’s not illegal to fight back, this is literally what the second amendment is for.
Go ahead and give it a try
Yeah, if you have enough money for the court battles… for the next decade.
If you’re EXTREMELY lucky, I would say. In this climate, other ice or law enforcement are just going to kill you. Or at the very least throw you in prison, into a system where you also might just disappear. Without seeing a lawyer or your family, to another country, where you may not be a citizen or have ever lived. And possibly into their foreign prison system directly, into an evil vilainesque torture prison designed for nobody to ever leave
So, here we are right back to fighting back. Your dead or in a cage to be sent to your death anyways.
Yep. Probably best to go out standing
Be awfully cool of americans to remember this.
And that is how I live day to day regardless, I’ll be on the news if they come after me, I’m completely okay dying.
Assuming you survive the hellfire of bullets that will rain down on you if you try, that is.
