Brockman “intends to pursue all legal avenues available to her to vindicate her rights & hold the federal authorities accountable for their actions,” acc/to her lawyers’ stmnt.
“Ms. Brockman was taken to the ground, battered, handcuffed & her pants were pulled down exposing her bare buttocks. No one should be treated like that in this city, in this country, or anywhere else in the world,” Thomson said.

In a social media post after Brockman’s arrest, Gregory Bovino, commander-at-large of the #US #BorderPatrol, claimed“a member of the press threw a metal object at Border Patrol” & was arrested for assaulting a federal officer.

But Brockman was released without charges after she was held in federal custody for 7 hours, her lawyer said. WGN said during a newscast covering her arrest that Brockman’s department is separate from the newsroom.

Today in Labor History October 9, 1936: A lettuce strike had recently ended in Salinas, California. However, when red flags went up throughout town, the authorities feared communist agitators had returned and removed the red flags, only to find out later that they were part of a traffic check being done by the state highway division.

The first effective organizing in the Salinas Valley began in 1933, with the mostly female lettuce trimmers demanding equal pay to the men. The Filipino field workers supported the women’s demands. In 1934, members of the Filipino Labor Union (FLU) struck the lettuce farms. So, the farmers brought in Mexican and Anglo scabs. They used vigilante mobs and the cops to violently attack the strikers and arrested their leaders. When the Filipino Labor Union and the Mexican Labor Union joined forces, a mob of vigilantes burned their labor camp down and drove 800 Filipinos out of the Salinas Valley at gunpoint. The 1934 strike ended soon after, with the growers recognizing the FLU and offering a small raise. This violence inspired John Steinbeck to write “In Dubious Battle” and “Grapes of Wrath,” for which he won both Pulitzer and Nobel Prizes.
