Outrageous: ICE agents arrested a former U.S. Army interpreter who risked his life aiding American troops in Afghanistan, right after his asylum hearing in San Diego. The interpreter legally entered the U.S. after the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan.

If you’ve heard me mention my ordeal with police then FBI during my last wks at UVa Law in Charlottesville, you might know it almost ended my law career before it started. It also piqued my interest in Higher Ed Law. Here’s my post from 2017, once I was finally able to speak publicly about it all.🧵

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

If you’re in LA in a public space this month and someone tries to get you to sign a petition about wages and voting DO NOT SIGN IT. this is businesses trying to repeal an ordinance that increases wages for workers in hospitality spaces ahead of the Super Bowl, World Cup, & Olympics. Do not sign!

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

This is a real thing being posted and circulated by the Department of Homeland Security, referring to undocumented immigrants as “foreign invaders” and urging good Americans to turn them in. (I’ll leave it to BlueSky historians to find comparisons to WWII era materials.)

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

LAPD: THEY PUT FLOWERS AT THE FEET OF THE GUARD! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

I just drove by a big LAPD staging area with lots of SUVs on the 110 north on ramp from grand. Be aware.

SHIELD • YOUR • NEIGHBORS Here in #LosAngeles, we protect our neighbors at all costs.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.
