Recordings I obtained of Chicagoans calling 911 to report ICE activity—including Marimar Martínez’s call after an agent shot her—are included in this week’s episode of @thisamericanlife.org
What Is Your Emergency? - This American Life
911 calls unlike any we’ve heard before, and other stories about immigration agents sweeping through America.

The swift, widespread displays of solidarity with Georgia Fort and Don Lemon by fellow journalists, news outlets and press freedom organizations has, much like the courage of neighbors who defended Chicago from federal raids this fall, given me a great deal of hope.

I was supposed to speak at a neighborhood assembly tomorrow, but I'm still sick and can't risk exposing my neighbors. So I wrote up my remarks and put them in my newsletter. Now, back to bed.

No words. Just rage and grief.

Please help support the Tarabishi family after the unnecessary and untimely death of Wael Tarabishi.

Wael should still be here.

This is eugenics in action.

In addition to Don Lemon, agents arrested Emmy-winning St. Paul journalist Georgia Fort this morning because she covered the ICE church protest.

This is an assault on the 1st Amendment and an attack on Black journalists by an out-of-control DOJ. We must condemn it in the strongest possible terms.
Minnesota based Independent Journalist GEORGIA FORT has been arrested for filming a protest of the church pastor that works as an ICE manager. SPREAD THE WORD! Georgia has been doing outstanding reporting from ground zero!

I have never witnessed such a spiderweb of collective action, just average everyday people showing up. Not the heroism we’ve been sold by the movies but collective heroism, a fabric of care and resistance to fascism.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

My latest: How Renee Good's murder and paramilitary assaults on US cities reflect longstanding right-wing race war fantasies and Stephen Miller's fixation with a novel about white genocide. I also talk about the stories we tell and live in opposition to these narratives and share a must-reads list.
Choosing Each Other in a Time of Terror
Rather than being disbanded or intimidated by Good’s murder, the people of Minneapolis have been galvanized, escalating their resistance and refusing to retreat from the work of protecting one another...

Video shows agents wrestling a man to the ground; one shot is heard; several agents scatter while one agent shoots the prone man several more times, killing him.

With so many of us watching the tremendous mobilizations in Minneapolis, culminating in the call to action against ICE today, I wanted to share some of what I have gathered from talking to comrades in Minneapolis over the past few weeks. A few things stood out:
