We also need to talk about remote access management on faculty tech. There has been a barrage of hostile FOIPOP requests from zionists trying to discredit faculty researchers who work on human rights and genocide, too. We need explicit policies at every uni, reviewed by CAUT.

Oh, how inspiring...do we want to be governed by Cons beholden to the off-the-deep-end fringe of their party or by Liberals with renewed enthusiasm for neoliberalism, military spending, and resource extraction? What a sense of hope and political possibility... #cdnpoli

This is what criminalization does - the scope has simply expanded - and why we all need to be putting refusal and resistance to criminalization at the center of our anti authoritarian/antifascist struggles.
Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

In some ways we have been here before & can draw on strategies from our histories & lineages AND current political conditions are starkly different & require us to significantly level up our commitment to community defense.
We need to pull out all the stops in defense of students - we're all next

I was reflecting with a CUNY Palestine solidarity organizer today that not ONCE during my entire 4 years of anti-apartheid struggle on campus was my immigration status (student visa at the time) ever threatened, much less was anyone I protested with kidnapped from university housing by immigration.

There's a lot of confusion swirling so it may help to explain that the below is actually fairly normal following an ICE arrest. ICE often transfers people to the deep South where some of the largest detention centers are located, and the ICE Detainee Locator system can take up to 24 hours to update.
Until last night, the ICE detainee locator stated Khalil was at Elizabeth, NJ—even though his wife had been unable to find him there yesterday. This morning, his location has been updated to Jena — a very remote, GEO group-run facility in the middle of rural Louisiana.
