Here’s one ICE agent hiding super good behind a column in the parking garage to watch the growing smattering of people below.

They’re currently stuck inside their own parking garage.

Worth noting Canal Street is empty of vendors, and community members state they’ve been informing local businesses.

I’ve also observed people notifying would-be vendors, too.

ICE is staging in a garage on Centre St & Howard in lower Manhattan ahead of what neighbors believe is a planned large-scale raid of Canal
Street this afternoon.
Estimated 20-25 agents inside, with more steadily joining, some taken by surprise and caught with their masks down.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.
"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

Attorney James Hollis says that over 80% of people in Alligator Alcatraz are sick, many with Covid symptoms.

This is eugenics.

People have already died in ICE custody. Many will be disabled.

The inhumane conditions are ripe for the spread of disease.

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.
Heightened Scrutiny, a very good doc about the Supreme Court case that was just ruled on, does an impeccable and infuriating job laying out just how culpable the NYT and Atlantic are for the nation’s transphobia www.avclub.com/sundance-202...
