The #Trump admin has made conflicting statements about whether #immigration agents will target #farmworkers, about half of whom are unauthorized to work in the US, per govt estimates.
#DHS said that ~200 people in the country illegally were arrested in the raid, which targeted 2 locations of the cannabis operation Glass House Farms.
Agents also found 10 immigrant minors at the #farm. The facility is under investigation for child labor violations, said #CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott.

WTF!!! #DHS Tells #Police That Common #Protest Activities Are ‘Violent Tactics’
DHS is urging law enforcement to treat even #skateboarding and #livestreaming as signs of violent intent during a protest, turning everyday behavior into a pretext for police action.
By Dell Cameron, Jul 10, 202
"The #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity is urging local police to consider a wide range of protest activity as violent tactics, including mundane acts like riding a #bike or livestreaming a police encounter, WIRED has learned.
"WIRED has made this article free for all to read because it is primarily based on reporting from Freedom of Information Act requests [#FOIA]. Please consider subscribing to support our journalism.
"Threat bulletins issued during last month’s '#NoKings' #protests warn that the US government’s aggressive immigration raids are almost certain to accelerate domestic unrest, with DHS saying there’s a 'high likeliness' more Americans will soon turn against the agency, which could trigger #confrontations near federal sites.
"Blaming intense media coverage and backlash to the US military deployment in #LosAngeles, DHS expects the #demonstrations to 'continue and grow across the nation' as #protesters focused on other issues shift to #immigration, following a broad 'embracement of #AntiICE messaging.'
"The bulletins—first obtained by the national security nonprofit #PropertyOfThePeople through public records requests—warn that officers could face assaults with fireworks and improvised weapons: #paint-filled fire extinguishers, smoke grenades, and projectiles like #bottles and #rocks.
"At the same time, the guidance urges officers to consider a range of #nonviolent behavior and common #ProtestGear—like #masks, #flashlights, and #cameras—as potential precursors to violence, telling officers to prepare 'from the point of view of an adversary.'
"Protesters on #bicycles, #skateboards, or even 'on foot' are framed as potential 'scouts' conducting reconnaissance or searching for 'items to be used as weapons.' #Livestreaming is listed alongside ' #doxxing' as a 'tactic' for 'threatening' police. Online posters are cast as ideological #recruiters—or as participants in 'surveillance sharing.'
"One list of 'violent tactics' shared by the Los Angeles–based Joint Regional Intelligence Center—part of a post-9/11 fusion network—includes both protesters’ attempts to avoid identification and efforts to identify police. The memo also alleges that face recognition, normally a tool of law enforcement, was used against officers.
"Vera Eidelman, a senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union [#ACLU], says the government has no business treating #constitutionally protected activities—like #observing or #documenting police—as threats.
"#DHS did not respond to a request for comment."

Boston MA area: free N95 masks, 19 of each kind pictured. Drager X-plore 1950 N95 (small!) and BYD N95 Particulate Respirator. These are too small for me. I hate the idea of throwing them away but so far have found nowhere I can donate them (waiting to see if freecycle moderator will let me post them.
Yes the boxes are opened but each mask is still sealed.
In Newton MA (near Watertown/Waltham). DM me for address, I will leave them on the porch for a while.

Rep. Velázquez Touts Bill to Unmask ICE Agents During Rally at NYC Field Office
Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez on Saturday held a rally outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in New York City to promote her recently introduced No Masks for ICE Act. “We would never accept it if the NYPD operated in masks without names or badges — and we shouldn’t accept it from ICE either,” Velázquez (D-N.Y.) said in a statement, referring to the New York Police…
