'An impossibility': Negotiations to reform ICE sputter as shutdown looms for DHS
Congress has two weeks to fund DHS as Democrats demand changes to rein in #ICE and #CBP. It's not going well. The top Senate Republican doubts they'll reach a deal in time.

Excerpt: "Another complication is that Republicans have demands of their own, most notably cutting off funds for 'sanctuary cities,' which refuse to turn in undocumented immigrants to federal authorities.
" 'We’re not going to do anything that kneecaps ICE’s ability to do their jobs and enforce the laws that both Republicans and Democrats have voted on and presidents of both parties have enforced,' said Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo. [THEN WHY DON'T YOU IMPEACH THE CRIMINAL IN CHIEF!!!] 'If you want to have a real conversation, to me, it starts with ending #SanctuaryCities.' [Um, no!]
"Democrats firmly oppose that idea, saying cities are safer if residents can report crimes without fear of deportation."

Electronic Frontier Foundation is backing the ICE Out of Our Faces Act, a bill to ban biometric surveillance by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

BAN ICE from our hotels, our restaurants, our gas stations.
NO food, NO fuel, NO shelter! No support for brutality, drive them from our cities.
Time to starve them out, total economic warfare against ICE and CBP...
"Arrest records... provide the clearest picture yet of what led to the controversial & aggressive operation, in which agents descended from a Blackhawk helicopter, broke down doors and zip-tied #US citizens and #immigrants.
[It was *NOT* because Tren de Aragua had taken over the building, but]...“based on intelligence that there were illegal aliens unlawfully occupying apartments.”"

"ICE Out of Our Faces Act" would ban ICE and CBP use of facial recognition https://arstechni.ca/6VZR #facialrecognition #Policy #cbp #ice
"Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005. CBP’s misconduct scandal is so long-running that today it would be old enough to drink."

“You’re Not Going to Investigate a Federal Officer”

It doesn’t happen often, but local law enforcement can arrest and charge federal agents. Legal experts say there’s a moral obligation to at least try to hold federal immigration officers accountable when they violate the Constitution and the law.
Jennifer Rubin: Voters Want Massive Changes in #ICE: #Democrats should not underestimate their leverage
"Ordinary Americans, as we have often noted, repeatedly demonstrate that they are far ahead of politicians from both parties at defending democracy, clamping down on government abuse, and protecting their neighbors. This is especially true when it comes to #immigration."

US Citizens Describe Being Shot, Harassed, and Threatened by Immigration Agents
“My own government attempted to execute me — and when they failed, they chose to vilify me,” testified Marimar Martinez.
This just seems mindbogglingly insulting. Certain members of #Congress are statutorily required to report on any death in custody. The report on #Pretti from #ICE / #CBP doesn't answer most questions that only they, the investigating body, can answer. They have fenced out any other investigator and they essentially tell Congress what the questions, which_they_are_not_answering, are...

I think the Poker Creek border crossing needs to be open 24/7 immediately and the U.S. should send a very large number of CBP employees to staff it #cbp

"It’s so anomalous," said Samantha Trepel, a former top #DOJ #CivilRights official who now works at the election nonprofit States United Democracy Center. "In situations like this, a #criminal civil rights investigation is the most well-trodden path to #accountability."

In one sign of the section’s new direction, #CivilRights prosecutors are handling the case against former CNN anchor #DonLemon & 8 others accused of disrupting a #Minnesota church service last month [100% not a #UseOfForce case] in #protest of #immigration enforcement, acc/to court records [Lemon was there as a journalist not a protester].

…Former prosecutors who handled investigations of #police wrongdoing said their case loads dropped as #ExcessiveForce probes stalled last year.
The number of people charged with violating the #CivilRights #law most commonly used in federal excessive-force cases dropped about 36% last year to 54 total cases, the lowest number since 2020, according to a Reuters analysis of federal court dockets obtained from Westlaw.
