documentedny.com/2026/02/19/e... Ecuadorians are deported to a country radically changed. In just 7 years, it went from one of the most peaceful countries in the Western Hemisphere to the most violent in LatAm. Violence has been fueled by the insatiable demand for cocaine in Europe and the US.
The US is increasing the employers' near-total control over temporary low-wage workers, effectively creating a large, racialized servitude system of laborers from the Global South. @cdmigrante.bsky.social @epi.org @ufwfoundation.bsky.social

“The only way to get through that fear is to put your body in motion, get your brain together, & be with other people so you don’t feel alone.”
Scores of NYC volunteers are preparing for potential military deployment to their communities, @mauriziogro.bsky.social reports.
Thousands in NYC are training to protect non-citizens from masked agents and the potential deployment of federal troops--a move at the core of the authoritarian agenda of the administration. @cosecha.bsky.social @maketheroadny.bsky.social @cmsandynurse.bsky.social

Scores of NYC volunteers prepare for potential military deployment to their communities, @mauriziogro.bsky.social reports. Organizers report signs of an impending immigration enforcement operation after Trump threatened action against New York City if Zohran Mamdani won the mayoral race.
Within days of Trump’s presidential win, ICE posted several notices seeking contractors to modernize the ability to track, monitor, & surveil noncitizens, @mauriziogro.bsky.social reported. We're now seeing federal agents using their arsenal of surveillance tools to erode everyone's privacy rights.
"Ahead of Thomson Reuters annual shareholder meeting in June, @bcgeu.bsky.social submitted a proposal raising concerns about the company’s AI product and its ties to President Donald Trump’s terror campaign against immigrants."
@mauriziogro.bsky.social reporting on one path of shareholder activism.
Data brokers operate without regulation and are becoming more powerful with AI. In today's political climate, activist investors may be the only ones to pressure them to adopt ethical guidelines.@mediajustice.bsky.social @sarahlamdan.bsky.social @bcgeu.bsky.social @eff.org @openmicmedia.bsky.social
Today, @mauriziogro.bsky.social reports on the union shareholders fighting both ICE & the data brokers feeding it information.

“The attack on immigrants is about giving the police & federal agencies the license to determine what is illegal & what is illegality & to decide who gets to be an American.”
Trump is now targeting green card holders, leaving immigrants fearful of traveling abroad, @mauriziogro.bsky.social reports.
Under Trump, the criminal legal system now targets another population: Green card holders. While there is little public data about the number of lawful permanent residents targeted at ports of entry, an uptick in reports leaves many fearful of traveling abroad, @mauriziogro.bsky.social reports.
A racist criminal system is now being leveraged at ports of entry to arbitrarily harass and detain noncitizens, including lawful permanent residents and green card holders, advocates warn. @vera.org @nlgnews.bsky.social @immcouncil.org @nipnlg.bsky.social prismreports.org/2025/09/09/u...
Visitors at immigrants' detention camp Delaney Hall are forced by the private prison corporation GEO Group to wait from seven to 12 hours to see family or friends, despite the life-threatening heat. Still, they sometimes cannot enter. @cosecha.bsky.social documentedny.com/2025/08/06/p...
Google partners with the Israeli military as it conducts a genocide in Gaza. Now, the company is bolstering the United Arab Emirates’ AI ambitions, despite widespread accusations that the UAE is involved in a genocide in Sudan. prismreports.org/2025/07/28/g... @notechforapartheid.bsky.social

prismreports.org/2025/07/10/s... This administration is rapidly consolidating a surveillance state with diminished privacy rights and due process, ensuring that all our sensitive information can be used against us @protectdemocracy.org @eff.org @cdt.org @pogo.org @georgetownprivacy.bsky.social
The growing surveillance state in the U.S. ensures that your data can be used against you. Through court battles, legal loopholes, executive orders, & shady contracts, the Trump admin is crushing the safeguards protecting privacy rights & due process, @mauriziogro.bsky.social investigates.
"[Fusion centers] were designed to create formal data sharing structures between the partner agencies, and that means having local police departments collaborating with ICE to deport their neighbors” - @foxcahn.bsky.social @documentedny.bsky.social @mauriziogro.bsky.social
documentedny.com/2025/07/02/i... Rikers Island has a Fusion Center—an intelligence-sharing hub funded by DHS, parent agency of ICE, which may have access to audio surveillance data that can track people communicating with those in Rikers. @bklyndefender.bsky.social @stopspyingny.bsky.social
Alongside the use of textbook abusive tactics, ICE is swiftly expanding its sprawling surveillance apparatus, reports @mauriziogro.bsky.social. Within days of the election, ICE sought out contractors to enlarge, transform, & modernize systems to surveil noncitizens

One of the winners of the Labor Organizer of the Year Award is an Indigenous immigrant organizer who helped hundreds of immigrants fight for fair treatment in a brutal industry.
For her safety, her name can't be publicly shared.
Her story reveals the cruelty of Trump's anti-immigrant attacks.

The war against immigrants IS a war on the working class. Workers too scared to assert their rights erode every worker's rights, triggering a race-to-the-bottom. Unions have a role in helping to unite folks. @32bjseiu.bsky.social @californialabor.bsky.social

The little we know about the 238 Venezuelans unlawfully expelled to ES speaks of the plight of the Ven diaspora—criminalized both in their home country and the US, which contributed to the collapse of Ven's economy with heavy sanctions. My piece for Documented NY:

This points to a future where immigrant children are stripped of rights and due process. Those with no guardians are mostly from Mex, Honduras, Guatemala—which the US has destabilized with its war on drugs and coups.

“It’ll be a disaster for the children, & it’ll be a disaster for the courts.”
Trump signals intention to defund essential legal lifelines for unaccompanied migrant children after a leaked ICE memo outlined a plan to arrest & deport children with no legal guardian, @mauriziogro.bsky.social reports.
Terrific and chilling work by @mauriziogro.bsky.social on Ice's expanding surveillance apparatus.
Within days of Trump’s presidential win, ICE sought out contractors to enlarge, transform, and modernize the agency’s ability to track, monitor, and surveil noncitizens @mauriziogro.bsky.social reports for @prismreports.org:
