I have seen some (racist) rumblings online about Ottawa’s new housing project designed for asylum seekers, suggesting that newcomers are being prioritized over “local” people experiencing homelessness.
First of all, unless you are Indigenous, you or your family came from somewhere else.

"They said the security staff hired were often unqualified, unvetted, heavily armed and seemed to have an open license to do whatever they wished."
American contractors are murdering Palestinians at ‘aid’ sites and they are treating it like a fucking game.
“I think you hit one.”
“Hell, yeah, boy!”
Monstrous.

Amazing news this morning.
People would rather throw themselves into the sea than be taken to Libya.
The GazaFFlotilla boat en route to break Israel's siege on Gaza detoured today to rescue four Sudanese migrants who had been intercepted by the Libyan coast guard (paid for by Italy and the EU).

Bureaucratic politics explanation for ICE arrests: 1) they arrest people for whom they have data, i.e. those who comply with requests for info from the govt; 2) they go for easy arrests (people who won't fight back). So, expect more law-biding, non-threatening people to be arrested. 1/2
They are not picking up dangerous criminals, but the immigrants who were actually complying with the conditions of their presence in the US. And now, other immigrants have less and less reason to do so.
"At about 15 minutes past the hour every hour all afternoon, teams of agents, many of them masked, left the building escorting four people, each in handcuffs, into parked SUVs that then quickly zipped across the street to the garage of 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE has its local field office."

The Authorized Access to Information Act (SAAIA) compels electronic service providers to "fulfill legally authorized requests to access or intercept information and communications"
I guess they are getting ready to criminalize Idle No More 2.0

This isn’t about public health or safety. It’s about using the opioid crisis and border fears to justify more control over already-marginalized people.
We just introduced the Strong Borders Act, equipping law enforcement with the right tools to secure our border, fight organized crime, and keep Canadians safe.
