Fusion centers are also improperly laundering information to ICE. Emails released back in 2019 revealed “a years-long relationship between an ICE officer and a detective in a fusion center” in Orange County, CA. They may really be “data deportation centers” 4/ www.aclu.org/news/immigra...
What we know:
They’ve spied on people exercising free speech.
Targeted Black Lives Matter protesters and Pro-Choice advocates.
Often singled out American Muslims for unwarranted scrutiny. Distributed error-filled reports.
See @brennancenter.org's www.brennancenter.org/our-work/pol... 3/
You’ve probably never heard of a “Fusion Center.” But a Fusion Center has probably heard of you 👀 They operate largely in secret and collect a terrifying amount of our private data: who we are, where we go, what we do, who we know. 2/

BREAKING: SB 1095, "Expose Data Deportation Centers," by @senatorsrp.bsky.social just PASSED out of the CA Senate's Privacy Committee!

Happening now at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport:
A small protest is underway against ICE agents being deployed to airports across the country, including at O'Hare.
For the moment press here outnumber protestors, but more people are slowly trickling in.
My hot take on DHS budget deal: Anyone asking whether it's a win for Democrats rather than what impact it'll have on the country hasn't been paying attention for the last year. Relatedly, if it's a "win" for anyone, it's for the people in streets who forced Schumer to do anything in the first place.
Day laborers in LA gathered at the #PeaceDepot for health & safety training + PPE distribution. We’re calling on Home Depot to denounce human rights violations, prevent and provide transparency on harmful enforcement on their property

Imagine witnessing what is happening in Minnesota- the people showing up, inspiring the country, pushing back on Ice - and your conclusion is “don’t say no to Trump’s goons!”
Ignore Bezos. Listen to Minnesota.

NDLON denounces Congress’s shameful vote on ICE funding. 7 Democrats voted YES on ICE funding.
The shameful seven: Henry Cuellar (TX), Vicente Gonzalez (TX), Jared Golden (ME), Marie G. Perez (WA), Don Davis (NC), Laura Gillen (NY), Tom Suozzi (NY). To them we say: Shame on you.
