anyone who thinks better/more training would change this, or that ICE differs in any real way from law enforcement in general, is either a willing stooge or a moron and I’m not all that interested in distinguishing between the two
It's not, and that's proven by the fact these officers receive a tiny fraction of the training and are using deadly force in situations that every city cop has been trained to avoid. These ICE/CPB operations not held to the same standards and it's a huge problem that Congress could quickly fix.

What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

After Elizabeth Warren said she was willing to give ICE more money in exchange for unspecified “restrictions," I said that kind of “messaging is going to get people killed.”
Less than a week later, ICE murdered another person in the streets.

This is such an important point. This family tried to follow the rules.
The distinction is going to get more important when they start mass deporting the people whose TPS status Trump revoked. They’ll call them “illegal” too, even though they were here legally until Trump yanked the rug.

People are missing a big thing about the saga of the detained 5-year-old. When Vance calls the father an "illegal alien" it seems to reflect a little-known Trump admin move that attempts to nullify asylum claims before they are even heard.

Hi @police.boston.gov @mayorwu.boston.gov can you clarify Boston's position on assisting/supporting ICE? I was just told by one of your officers that ICE is just doing their job making neighborhoods safe, and that we shouldn't be impeding them.

My hot take is that at minimum a domestic violence conviction should carry a lot more of the shame and restrictions of a sex offender; it should ban you nationally from gun ownership, jobs in law enforcement, schools, pretty much any public sector work. It’s our clearest red flag for future violence
Watching these videos of ICE attacking children, I can’t help but think about how many of these men first practiced their violence in their own homes.
Domestic violence teaches our oppressors to dehumanize the most vulnerable among us.

Many northern cities, such as Portland ME, Burlington VT, & Minneapolis have participated in Refugee Resettlement programs for decades. Vietnamese, Bosnian, & Sudanese populations in Burlington when I lived in VT, for ex. These cities have long embraced refugees. Dumb move by ICE to target them.
Should go without saying but it is appalling how racist the Portland Maine operation is. Obviously it is All rabid, lawless racial profiling and militarized barbarism, but there are about seven people who live in Portland right now. There is no reason to do a federal invasion of it except that it…

![Action Memo for Senior Bureau Official John Armstrong
FROM:
SUBJECT:
CA/VO - Stuart Wilson, Deputy Assistant Secretary
(SBU) Revocation of Fl Visa for Rumeysa OZTURK
(SBU) Recommendation 1: That you approve the revocation of the Fl visa,
effective immediately, for
under section 221(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA). Due to ongoing ICE operational security, this revocation will be silent;
the Department will not notify the subject. (Approve/Disapprove by
03/21/25)
Decision: [Approved]
(SBU) Recommendation 2: That you authorize the transmission of the
attached notification to the Department of Homeland Security noting the,
immediate revocation of OZTURK's visa. (Approve/Disapprove by 03/21/25)
Decision: [Approved]
Background
(SBU} On March 21, 2025, the Assistant Director of the National Security Division of DHS/ICE's Homeland Security Investigations referred to CA information regarding Rumeysa OZTURK, a Turkish national, for a possible determination by the Secretary that the alien is deportable under INA section 237(a)(4)(C). As a nonimmigrant visa holder, such a determination is not necessary for OHS/ICE to pursue removal of OZTURK from the United States, as INA section 237(a}(1)(B) provides that an alien is deportable if their nonimmigrant visa has been revoked under INA section 221(i).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7r477jd7q7p2mzmyqfm7jmp7/bafkreigphzxypvufgeipmnblj3rj5bjvnpsifwim4gx2nxdcv3cqhgqj5q@jpeg)
