DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.
Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.
But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:

Anyway the real heroes of Minnesota are the countless volunteers doing boring shifts where nothing happens. The mom of three delivering food to 40 families in her kids’ school. The dad standing at the door of an elementary with a whistle for hours. The drivers endlessly looping, seeing nothing.

THREAD. ICE is in the news, and rightly so, but a lot of the commentary fails to see how the underlying surveillance tech, militarization, infrastructure, policies/practices/training, and corporate profiteers are shared by other domestic agencies and repressive bureaucracies in other countries.

Today, I made historic appointments who will lead key agencies and create a city where everyone can thrive.
I appointed Stanley Richards as Commissioner of DOC. Decades after he served time in our city’s jails, Commissioner Richards will now be the first formerly incarcerated person to lead them.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

ICE agents who threaten people who are recording their actions think people don’t know their rights or can be intimidated from exercising them. “The more you know, the easier it becomes to assert those rights,” EFF’s Saira Hussain told @borderlessmag.bsky.social. borderlessmag.org/2026/01/29/...

I think what a lot of folks miss is how profitable deportation is for the corporations involved & the politicians they're backing.
Holding people, physically removing them, is cost for the taxpayer & profit into the pockets of the worst people you can imagine.

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
