NEW: The National Sheriffs’ Association(!) puts out a statement saying the Trump admin’s publication, with no feedback first, of a list of Sheriff departments alleged to be sanctuary jurisdictions “violated the core principles of trust, cooperation, and partnership with fellow law enforcement.”

With deep sadness, I have to share the news that IREHR’s founder, Leonard Zeskind, passed away Tues morning at his home in Kansas City.
He was a righteous intellectual/organizer, a role model and mentor, and an anti-fascist way before it was cool. He will be greatly missed.

The neo-Nazi in the mask and shades next to Ryan Sanchez is named Cristobal Burke, Fresno State class of '23.
Burke was part of the very right-wing nationalist Fresno State College Republicans.
