Student Detained by ICE After Cop Shares Info on Private Chat

In Colorado, a college student was detained for a minor infraction and released with a warning, but the officer involved then allegedly shared sensitive, private information about this student on a private Signal chat.

This disturbing breach of privacy led to the student's further detainment shortly after by la migra and now, alarmingly, could lead to her deportation, going directly against state laws designed to protect individuals.

When confidential information is weaponized, especially by law enforcement, it erases the foundation of justice and safety for everyone in our communities.

This is completely unacceptable! Please be careful sharing information about your status with folks. Even police do not have a reason to ask if you are in the US with proper documents.

She’s not one of the “criminals” they’re supposed to be going after #ice #immigration #lamigra #brazil #undocumentedimmigrants

ICE Point Gun at Person Taking Photo

Terrifying images have emerged of an ICE agent pointing his weapon at a person who was simply trying to take a picture of his license plate.

From the video, it's clear there was something deliberately covering the license plate (like some plastic?), making it difficult to read. This raises the question: What are they trying to hide? Why the secrecy, and why such an aggressive, disproportionate response to someone trying to document public information?

The agent's demeanor was alarming. He came out hella hot and the video clearly shows him looking directly at the individual before drawing his weapon. This isn't about safety; it's about overreach of power, intimidation, and an incredibly dangerous display of force.

We've seen instances of law enforcement being sloppy and this incident is another alarming example. It feels like only a matter of time until this kind of dangerous behavior leads to someone being seriously harmed. This cannot be normalized or ignored.

Please be careful documenting out there #immigratiom #ice #iceagent #raids

US Citizen Walmart Employee Arrested

La migra showed up at a Walmart where they attempted to arrest migrants before the community showed up to push back. One of the folks that was defending migrants was a US Citizen employee who was on his break and he was detained by them!

His family spoke out, stating they didn't know where he was, as ICE attempted to falsely accuse him of attacking an officer. Luckily there are numerous videos clearly showing that no such attack occurred, exposing ICE's attempts to fabricate lies.

This disturbing incident, sadly, is not an isolated one; we've seen a troubling pattern of agents acting out, disregarding rights, and fabricating charges. If you are protesting please make sure you are staying safe and documenting what is happening.

La Migra Changing plates

One of the most troubling things we witnessed this week was a video showing ICE agents changing license plates on one of their vehicles. This highly concerning act adds to a growing list of tactics that undermine transparency and accountability, including their failure to announce themselves, covering their faces, and operating without proper warrants when attempting to apprehend people.

Changing plates makes it incredibly difficult to identify and hold anyone accountable for their actions, effectively allowing them to operate in the shadows. We are so glad this video exists to expose these shady tactics and shed light on what they are trying to hide. Please, keep recording to expose these dangerous practices, your perspective is vital in demanding accountability and protecting our communities.
