We are America. How could you possibly target Native Americans - with ICE Officers - and then imprison us? That is impossible. It's legally impossible to do that. - Chase Iron Eyes

ICE is using administrative warrants to force their way into homes.
An AW allows officers to make immigration arrests, BUT ONLY IN PUBLIC.
As they are not CRIMINAL WARRANTS, they give officers NO authority to enter private property.
DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR if presented w/an AW.

Still paying for heinous W response to 9/11 25 years later
Nick Miroff: After 9/11, George W. Bush created the Department of Homeland Security to prevent future terror strikes. Now DHS shifted from defending the country against foreign terrorists to deploying agents on American streets for the purpose of terrorizing American citizens.
‘Maybe DHS Was a Bad Idea’
Two decades after its founding, the department has become what its critics feared.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

French health agency warns of social media risks to teenagers
On Tuesday, after five years of investigation, France's National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety released a comprehensive scientific review on the risks social media platforms pose to the health of 11- to 17-year-olds. Today, these platforms are designed to capture attention and to sustain engagement, which impacts the particular vulnerability of this age group.

And ICE has demonstrated multiple times that activities such a ‘trying to leave’ and ‘driving through on the way to a medical appointment’ are also ‘resistance.’ I suspect we’re going to be seeing even more kettling in the near future.
