"There are 5 ICE offices in Canada"

Post by Carolyn Hinds #FreePalestine... X.com @CarrieCnh12 Yep, the Canadian gov't has allowed the US government to place 4 ICE stations in Canada, including the national capital and parliamentary seat. How that was even allowed.. So not only are Canadian companies fully complicit with ICE the gov't has already given them a toehold here [Image of addresses for offices in Ottawa, Calgary, Montreal and Vancouver]

I often speak of Maurice having "needy" days where he demands to be picked up & held but today I wonder if maybe sometimes he just looks at me reading the news & thinks, "Okay but what would be much better for you would be to be forced to hold a cat & kiss him on the face for ten minutes straight."

Good #Caturday morning friends!

Hopefully many humans participated in the economic protests yesterday.

The Business Cats were spot on with their suggestions.

They're also right when they say we can continue protesting these massive corporations and their corrupt, greedy C suite dwellers.

DHS doesn’t even bother trying to lie well. The man whose skull was shattered told the hospital he’d been struck by ICE officers, an ICE officer told hospital staff the guy “got his sh*t rocked,” then when it became clear how badly he was injured, they claimed he deliberately ran into a wall.
ICE's account of how he was hurt evolved during the time that federal officers were at his bedside. At least one ICE officer told caregivers that Castañeda Mondragón "got his (expletive) rocked" after his Jan. 8 arrest near a St. Paul shopping center, the court filings and a hospital staff member said. His arrest happened a day after the first of two fatal shootings in Minneapolis by immigration officers. The Department of Homeland Security, which includes ICE, did not respond to repeated requests for comment on his injuries. A deportation officer skirted the issue in the court documents, saying that during the intake process at an ICE detention center, it was determined he "had a head injury that required emergency medical treatment." But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the man's 31-year-old's brain, said three nurses familiar with the case. "It was laughable, if there was something to laugh about," said one of the nurses, who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss patient care. "There was no way this person ran headfirst into a wall." Castañeda Mondragón was alert and speaking, telling staff he was "dragged and mistreated by federal agents," though his condition quickly deteriorated, the documents said. The following week, a Jan. 16 court filing described his condition as minimally responsive and communicative, disoriented and heavily sedated.

For months, DOJ has been sandbagging the Epstein release claiming they were redacting sensitive information and using it as an excuse to delay other document productions, but they just released the files with apparently "thousands" of instances of victim's names and identifying details unredacted.
