Well Vermont, a state of overall blue privilege, is no longer a safe space for permanent residents/holders of green cards. A Palestinian student was kidnapped by masked men with no warning, at his citizenship hearing.

Middlebury College, elite alma of many gubernatorial candidates, has had the displeasure of a student visa Disappearance. Maybe the alarmists were right about the speed with which tyranny erupts. And erupts again.

This ‘College Protester’ Isn’t Real. It’s an AI-Powered Undercover Bot for Cops

https://www.wired.com/story/massive-blue-overwatch-ai-personas-police-suspects/

Concerns about tools like Massive Blue have taken on new urgency considering that the Trump administration has revoked the visas of hundreds of students, many of whom have protested against Israel’s war in Gaza.

#ICE Is Paying #Palantir $30 Million to Build ‘ImmigrationOS’ #Surveillance Platform

In a document published Thursday, ICE explained the functions that it expects Palantir to include in a prototype of a new program to give the agency “near real-time” data about people self-deporting.

If you plan to visit southern #Maine this year, be sure to boycott the town of Wells. I certainly won't be patronizing ANY businesses there until Police Chief Jo-Ann Putnam cuts ties with #ICE.

from wikipedia:

(MS-13) is often public in its violence. Infanticide and femicide are common, with El Salvador hosting the third-highest femicide rate in the world. In 2016, one in 5,000 Salvadoran women were killed. Legal impunity is a key factor. In femicide cases, only 5% result in convictions. Violent retributions target enemy gangs as well as rival gang members' entire families, friends, and neighbors. Occupied passenger buses are sometimes burned. Police officers, government officials, and community organizations are frequent targets.

New York District Attorney Madeline Singas, referring to crimes committed by MS-13 gang members, stated: "The crimes that we're talking about are brutal. Their weapon of choice is a machete. We end up seeing people with injuries that I've never seen before. You know, limbs hacked off. And that's what the bodies look like that we're recovering. So they're brutal."

so, yeah - keep supporting them.

sometimes there are no good guys in a fight.

"Last week Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) paid contracting giant Palantir tens of millions of dollars to make modifications to a powerful ICE database and search tool to allow “complete target analysis of known populations” and to update the tool’s targeting and enforcement priorities, according to procurement records reviewed by 404 Media.

The records show that Palantir is actively working on, and making updates to, the technical infrastructure underpinning the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts. The news comes after ICE agents arrested a green card holding student at his interview to become a U.S. citizen; plainclothes officers picked up a student on the street for deportation despite the State Department finding no evidence she was linked to antisemitism or Hamas as claimed; and the American and El Salvadorian presidents deflecting when asked who was going to return a man who was mistakenly deported to a foreign mega prison. Trump has also called for deporting U.S. citizens to El Salvador.

At the same time, Palantir is running adverts at U.S. colleges which say “a moment of reckoning has arrived for the West. Our culture has fallen into shallow consumerism while abandoning national purpose. Too few in Silicon Valley have asked what ought to be built—and why. We did.”"

Right-wing West Virginia Representative Riley Moore recently took a trip to a Salvadoran mega prison to mock the imprisoned and show his unwavering, unquestioning support for Donald Trump’s racist attacks on immigrants.

Not only does U.S. imperialism undermine the democratic processes and workers’ rights in countries like El Salvador, it strips rights from people at home!

We need ICE out of our communities! Now!

“'New Kind of Antisemitism': Jewish Students Slam Trump's Detention of Mohsen Mahdawi”

“And so Mahdawi becomes the latest in a string of students the Trump administration has targeted nationwide in the name of “student safety” and “combating antisemitism” – while Jewish peers of these students express feeling safe and heard around them.”

"They walked the full length of the train and questioned every single passenger about their #citizenship status...." In #MONTANA.
#ICE is the Gestapo, full stop.

A co-worker of mine (a judge), traveled by train from Montana to North Dakota for work this week. The train made a stop in Havre, MT, where ICE agents—armed and dressed in full military-style tactical gear—boarded the train.

Does the arresting officer ask this question at EACH and EVERY traffic stop? If not, this is #profiling and #racial #discrimination. That's #illegal. This officer should be facing #civil #rights violation charges. Meanwhile, keep the pressure on. Highlight every #detention. Get the #press involved. Shine a #light on these #wrong #arrests.

According to The Markup, every single Florida law enforcement agency is now signed up as a 287-G partner to #ICE. https://themarkup.org/2025/04/16/trump-is-creating-a-deportation-army-of-local-cops

Wenn der #ICE den Anschluss verpasst, ist diese Strassenbahn ein Downgrade Immerhin ging es dann weiter, aber auch damit: zwei weitere Anschlüsse verpasst und mit 2 Std Verspätung sind wir am Ziel angekommen. Da hat gar nichts funktioniert, so macht #Bahnfahren absolut keinen Sinn und ist unattraktiv hoch 10.

Dafür ist das Technikmusuem in #Sinzheim absolut sehenswert. Es ist irre wie Pioniere mit teils abenteuerlichen Geräten technisches #Neuland erobert haben.
