Immigration

NPR - A federal judge on Thursday ordered an end to the monthslong National Guard deployment in Washington, D.C. to tackle crime, declaring that the use of troops was "unlawful."

It's the latest legal resistance against President Trump's troop deployments in American cities as a means to suppress protests, combat crime or safeguard federal buildings and personnel, including ICE agents.

It comes just days after a Tennessee state judge issued a temporary block on the mobilization of Guard forces in Memphis, which was activated by the Tennessee governor at Trump's behest. Over the weekend, the Defense Department ordered hundreds of troops to leave Chicago and Portland, Ore. as federal courts kept those deployments at a stalemate.

The Intercept - The Intercept has learned that ICE is now considering hiring private bounty hunters to locate immigrants across the country. Meanwhile, ICE is building a sprawling network of privately operated detention camps and prisons — even as our reporting finds that their existing facilities offer life-threateningly little medical care for detainees.

Occupy Democrats -  A Chinese immigrant is found dead in ICE custody with his hands and feet bound in a “hog-tied" position and they’re insisting that it was suicide.
