“The [ICE] statement cast the raid as part of investigations into “worksite violations and/or the exploitation of workers.”

“Worksite enforcement investigations focus on reducing illegal employment, holding employers accountable and protecting employment opportunities for the country’s lawful workforce,” the statement said.”
Just what White House attack on labor will do.

ICE detainees ‘forcibly disappeared’. “In the first week of March, …#ICE conducted an “enhanced enforcement operation” in #NewMexico that resulted in the arrest of 48 people... Their names, #whereabouts, whether they have access to counsel & which agency is holding them are all unknown, according to the…#ACLU
“This is…a grave #humanrights violation… #EnforcedDisappearances are prohibited by…our Constitution & international human rights laws”.’ | El Pais english.elpais.com/usa/2025-03

EL PAÍS English · Civil rights groups denounce that 48 ICE detainees have been ‘forcibly disappeared’The ACLU files a complaint over immigration authorities’ failure to release the identities of residents arrested in New Mexico, noting that ‘arbitrary and enforced disappearance is unlawful under the US Constitution’

"ICE agents pounced on Martell-Lebron without identifying themselves, put him into a pickup truck and sped away."

How is this a thing that's happening and so few people seem to give a shit? Our government is just disappearing people off the street with no due process. It's an understatement to say that this is really fucked up.

"Here’s a textbook explanation for why due process is so important: the case of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a native of El Salvador, who was included on the third plane full of aliens the Trump administration deported to that country on March 15."

"That this is a lie is a matter of public record. DHS and ICE are not sitting on secret records showing Abrego Garcia is a convict. If they were, they would release them. Instead, the public record is what his lawyers wrote in a filing this week, an assertion the government did not dispute in its response: 'Abrego Garcia has never been arrested or charged with any crime in the U.S. or El Salvador.'"

As Judd Legum notes, having admitted that it made an "administrative" mistake in deporting Abrego Garcia, the Trump administration is now doubling down and claiming there's evidence he's a gang member — when no such evidence exists:

"This is a lie. Abrego Garcia was never 'convicted' of being an MS-13 gang member.

"There is going to soon come a point when it’s going to get harder and harder to write individual stories about each of these outrages, because we won’t be physically able to keep up with Trump’s body count.

But we have to try, and we cannot look away. Don’t forget their names."

"Juarez is a beloved member of the Indigenous Mixteco farmworker community, and there’s been an outpouring of support for him across Washington State and the entire country."

Edgar Franks says, "We believe his detention is politically motivated because of his organizing in the farmworker and immigrant community. We believe he was targeted. The way that ICE detained him was meant to intimidate."

"Twenty-five-year-old Juarez helped found Familias Unidas Por La Justicia, an independent farmworker union in Washington State, in 2013, when he was just a young teenager. He has advocated around issues like overtime pay, heat protections for farmworkers and the exploitative nature of the H-2A guest worker program."

"On the morning of March 25, farmworker organizer Alfredo 'Lelo' Juarez was forcibly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who stopped his car while he was driving his wife to work in Skagit County, Washington. People to whom Juarez has spoken say he requested to see a warrant, and when he attempted to get his ID after being asked, the ICE agents smashed his car window and detained him."
