Nonviolent resistance to mass detention, deportation, and surveillance

This is significant. The requirements listed in a recent procurement notice for ICE's renewed purchase of LexisNexis Risk's LexID and Accurint Virtual Crime Center products mention inferring identity from "behavioral indicators, device metadata, network signatures, commercial telemetry data".
Yikes. ICE is asking LexisNexis to integrate with Palantir. This paragraph jumped out at me - they're looking to take "anonymized behavioral indicators" combine it with other data to "infer the identity of the end user." This sounds a lot like LexisNexis' ThreatMetrix, an anti-fraud product.

Just a reminder that the very time I post about another detention death, there is a chorus of people in the comments on some platforms literally happy that an immigrant died and victim blaming. Get out and bc they are absolutely going to vote.
ICE Detention Claims 25th Life Since the Start of the Year

Carlos Josué Marchena at Louisiana and Lianyong Wei in Saipan are the 25th and 24th people to die in ICE custody. Story by Spanish-language media, slow to hit English-language media.

When a Capgemini subsidiary took a contract to locate immigrants for ICE, it sparked major backlash in France. Capgemini quickly pledged to sell it off, but months later hadn't moved.

Within two weeks of this follow-up reporting, though, the company announced a sale.

Check out "Understanding the Summer 2026 Surge in ICE Arrests," the latest from Deportation Data Project, for more on the role local LEAs are playing, which (of course) isn't limited to 287(g) participation.

Read the report: deportationdata.org/analysis/imm...
Loudon County, VA:
"At least 13 times between March 2025 and July 2026, deputies (...) called ICE to report where an immigrant neighbor could be found. Five had been pulled over for routine traffic violations. Four were involved in car accidents. Three had called 911 for help. One was a bystander.."

Exactly. I’ve been saying this since I started the tracker last year, and it’s why I don’t call them deportations.

Not enough people are talking about this. Renditioning immigrants is immensely cruel and that is the point: ICE wants immigrants suffering and dead and they want it done by proxy in other country so they can avoid justice. And they know this threat terrifies immigrants. Your tax $$ funds it.

It's one gut punch after another in this story. Stephen Miller is terrorizing children on purpose.

"Sources believe many of those officials are collaborating with immigration enforcers while sharing children’s confidential files in an unparalleled and legally dubious dismantling of bureaucratic safety firewalls."

Btw: my 287(g) program report includes over $115 million in confirmed reimbursement requests filed with ICE + state-level grants awarded to agencies for their participation in the 287(g) program. The cash cow feeding our deportation machine.
A cash cow.
Galveston County, TX:

"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is providing $1.125 million through the Sheriff’s Office’s 287(g) agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while the state is providing $231,519 through the Office of the Governor’s Operation Lone Star grant."

ICE’s ERO ONE is official. The agency is looking for 140+ intel analysts to work nationwide to locate immigrants, map their social networks, and help plan arrest operations.
ICE plans intel units in every field office to research immigrants, map who they know
ERO ONE would task them with researching individuals and charting their associates for the agents who carry out arrests and deportations.

The First Circuit upholds a lower court order requiring ICE to actually TELL people before it sticks them on a plane in shackles to a random country they've never been to before, and allow them to raise very real fears of torture and persecution in those third countries.

The details need an update (it's from the halcyon days when there were "only" ~1,200 287(g) agreements; there are now more than double that), but it gets the point across:

ICE is co-opting local LEAs to conduct immigration enforcement, to the detriment of our communities. We don't have to allow it.
