Good news: A federal court barred Border Patrol from stopping and arresting people using practices that violate the Constitution. We shouldn't have to live our lives in fear of being stopped by ICE. @ufw.bsky.social @aclu.org @aclu-norcal.bsky.social @sdicaclu.bsky.social

On Saturday, the FDNY rushed to 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE is holding more than 100 people in inhumane conditions, to respond to an emergency call, only to learn there was no such emergency. What's going on? hellgatenyc.com/fdny-ice-hea...
The FDNY Was Sped to ICE Headquarters for a Bogus 911 Call: 'They Used Us'
After the fire truck pulled up to the federal building where more than 100 people are being held, a van of the sort ICE uses to transport detainees sped out past protesters.

This Rümeysa Öztürk hearing is radicalizing.

I've been a court reporter for many years, and I've never covered anything like this: A student deeply committed to her studies, imprisoned solely over writing an op-ed, being made to testify under oath for her own freedom.

Dark, dark stuff.

Criminal warrants from the judiciary are not necessary.

Administrative warrants are recommended “as much as practical”.

So, no warrant needed.
