FAU PD was going to come speak with Student Government tomorrow (Friday) and when sent the questions beforehand (all about 287(g)), they cancelled the visit.

There's a Right To Record ICE Raids--and There's No Blanket Immunity for Raiders Notwithstanding pronouncements from leading officials of the Trump administration, the consensus of federal courts is that the Constitution protects the right to record immigration raids, and federal ...

If ICE agents believe they have blanket immunity or that citizens have no right to record them, it’s up to the rest of us to disabuse them of that error.

A free society depends on public oversight of government force, and on courts that uphold that freedom. @walterolson.bsky.social

ICE’s rampant technology spending raises the possibility of "targeted surveillance, not just of undocumented people, but of American citizens as well,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @Axios.com. www.axios.com/2025/10/21/...

Yes, it kinda sounds like MTG just learned that her office tracks calls. And yes, she's mostly fighting for the ACA tax credits bc her adult children are on it...

But this is why calls are important! Reps always need "cover" when they break party line, and constituent calls are their best argument.

Ring cameras are about to get increasingly chummy with law enforcement Amazon’s Ring partners with company whose tech has reportedly been used by ICE.

“Ring’s new partnership with Flock shows that the company is more interested in contributing to mounting authoritarianism than servicing the specific needs of their customers,” EFF’s @MGuariglia.bsky.social told @ArsTechnica.com. arstechnica.com/gadgets/202...

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Florida officials didn't disclose funding request for 'Alligator Alcatraz' facility, lawsuit says Florida officials have been accused of failing to disclose their application for federal reimbursement for an immigration detention center in the Everglades known as "Alligator Alcatraz."

“Government officials in Florida have misled the public they are supposed to work for, and the Everglades have been harmed as a result,” Eve Samples, executive director of Friends of the Everglades, said in a statement. Full AP story:

Estaba por ser deportado, pero la muerte lo alcanzó bajo custodia de ICE antes de regresar a su país Es la sexta muerte registrada bajo custodia de ICE en Florida este año, en medio de crecientes denuncias por demoras y deficiencias en la atención médica.

Amy Dru Stanley and Craig Becker: The masking of ICE agents is indefensible The courts must act to declare masked arrests unconstitutional, as unreasonable seizures barred by the Fourth Amendment.

Commentary: Surely a judge who sentences convicted criminals to prison is as much at risk as ICE agents, yet the notion is absurd that judges should be anonymous or allowed to mask their faces in the courtroom.

NYU’s annual Detention and Deportation Conference means something different this year - Washington Square News “This conference on immigration and detention and deportation has become a radical act. It’s sad, but it’s true,” migration scholar and keynote speaker Allison Mountz told an audience of close to 200 people on Wednesday, who stood along the back wall and spilled out the conference room’s double doors.  The radical act in question was...

ICE isn’t just tapping into government databases — it’s also tapping into local police scanners, EFF’s @MGuariglia.bsky.social said on an @nyu.edu panel. “ICE is buying millions of people’s geolocations and weaponizing all government data toward immigration.”

404 Media and Freedom of the Press Foundation Sue DHS Both organizations are seeking a copy of a data sharing agreement that is giving the personal data of nearly 80 million Medicaid patients to ICE.

Alongside @404media.co, we sued DHS demanding they hand over a copy of an agreement that shares the personal data of nearly 80 million Medicaid patients with ICE.

We believe it’s important for the public to see this unprecedented data sharing agreement.

DHS Plans More State-Run Extrajudicial Black Sites Like “Alligator Alcatraz” Homeland Security’s Kristi Noem mentioned plans to build similar immigration jails in Arizona, Nebraska, and Louisiana.

State-run extrajudicial immigration black sites like Alligator Alcatraz allows politically connected individuals to make hundreds of millions of dollars off Florida’s taxpayers at the expense of jailed migrants, while those held are stripped of their access to legal counsel and due process.
