On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being β€œserved food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees β€” it was for the staff.

Press statement From Islip Forward:

At approximately 9:30 a.m. this morning, federal agents were documented using infrastructure located on the property of the Central Islip Fire Department Station 2, at 110 Wheeler Road-without prior authorization to be on or use that space.

When a volunteer with Islip Forward approached to document the activity, federal agents threatened the volunteer with arrest for alleged trespassing, despite the agents themselves operating in an area where no prior permission had been granted.

Immediately following this interaction, the Central Islip Fire Department took swift action to protect its property and the public. Temporary restrictions were implemented, including closing the gate to the area being used and preventing external access.

The use of municipal fire department property for federal enforcement activityβ€”without authorization-and the subsequent threat directed at a community volunteer raise serious concerns about transparency, overreach, and respect for local institutions.
We are deeply grateful to the volunteer firefighters of the Central Islip Fire Department for their decisive and responsible response.

ICE was stealing equipment from the Islip Long Island fire department and a Islip Forward member documented it. ICE tried to arrest the community member but the firemen said β€œI don’t think so” www.islipforward.org

I worked there on a project as a consultant a number of years back. There was also a car wash back in the day that had too many Ks in its name, given that it was in White Settlement.

Independent journalist Georgia Fort was also arrested by federal agents earlier for reporting on the church protest in Minneapolis. She was live streaming when agents arrived to take her into custody.

I realize that there are so many things about this but I’m tired of the β€œthey’re paid protesters” line because this isn’t about crowd sizes. This is about 1st, 4th,civil, and human rights and no one loses those because they are β€œpaid”.

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

The paid protesters argument is, while still stupid, about crowd sizes where numbers matter.

To apply the paid protesters argument to violations of the First and Fourth amendments, civil rights, and human rights, is to say that if we are being paid to do something, we lose our rights.

Regular reminder that no member country pays into NATO. It is a requirement to spend 5% of GDP (new target) on defense spending (aka their own military).

So is Fine suggesting we will cut our defense budget here?

I’ve also learned that the video often goes into more detail than the accompanying text.

Really no matter the source we are all responsible for our own media literacy (which I believe is part of your point)

It was one of the clips posted have found that if I am going to rely on these postings of clips then I have to be diligent. I created a feed with accounts that regularly post clips and when I review I try and review all the clips, rather than relying on the one offs.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.

IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against
