This is the 16th strike of its kind this year — and at least 66 people are dead because of the government’s rash actions.
These extrajudicial strikes are illegal under both international and domestic law.

This is an especially worrying statement when facial recognition can be inaccurate, biased, and generally make mistakes. Basing whether someone should be in the US or not, and ignoring physical media like a birth certificate, is ripe for disaster bsky.app/profile/jose...
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

When people glorify ‘Tough On Crime’ they are just saying that they are gleefully punitive & nothing more.
Being tough on crime isn’t the same as addressing crime. We know that the largest predictor for reducing crime is addressing need.
Reducing benefits increases crime, endangering everyone.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.
Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.
