CBS News reports that a 14 year old U.S. citizen girl was zip tied during a military style immigration raid at a Mexican cultural horse racing event near Boise, Idaho. Photos show bruises, and witnesses say agents pointed guns at children. The lawsuit says agents smashed car windows, leaving one boy with glass shards in his mouth. Her mother said agents threatened to blow her head off and described being beaten: “They kicked me, they punched me, they stepped on me.” The raid detained hundreds, holding about 375 mostly Latino citizens and legal residents before releasing them. The ACLU has now filed a federal civil rights lawsuit, arguing the raid used extreme force, traumatized children, and treated Latino families like suspects simply for attending a community event.

According to Tech Crunch, the Department of Homeland Security has been using administrative subpoenas to demand user information from tech companies like Meta (Instagram) and Google, targeting anonymous accounts that post about ICE raids or criticize the Trump administration. Unlike court-approved subpoenas, these requests don’t require a judge. DHS sought to unmask accounts such as @montcowatch and even subpoenaed a retiree’s Google data after he emailed a DHS lawyer. The ACLU warns this is part of a broader effort to intimidate lawful protest and protected speech.

A petition by Zeeshan Hafeez calls out Rep. Julie Johnson for profiting from Palantir stock while serving on House committees that oversee ICE. The petition says she benefited financially from surveillance technology used by ICE and demands she donate those profits to families harmed by ICE. It reads: “It is a slap in the face to every American citizens and immigrant family in Texas for you to campaign on “justice” while profiteering off Palantir’s surveillance and deportation tech that is targeting our families.” Hafeez is running in the Democratic primary for Texas’s 33rd District on March 3, 2026.
