UPDATE: A task force made up of ICE and 30 other agencies is terrorizing Memphis 1JUN26

PROOF neo nazi fascist fortze trunt tommie homan Border Czar and neo nazi fascist fotze trunt markiewayne mullin Homeland Security Secretary are just as evil as kkkristi noem and NOT MY pres drumpf / trump, they are just more discrete in their violations of civil liberties, human rights, due process and in authorizing and tolerating violence, brutality, torture and extrajudicial murders. Here is the ACLU's report on Homeland Security's terrorism of Memphis, Tennessee. Please e mail your representative and senators and demand they stop any legislation funding Homeland Security until all proposed reforms are adopted as law and the violations of the American Constitution, violations of civil liberties and human rights, and the crimes against humanity being committed by the ice, hsi and cbp gestapo in Memphis, Tennessee and in and outside Delany Hall in Newark, New Jersey are stopped and investigated. My e mails are at the end of this post.

"I never feared law enforcement before I started ... recording the Task Force. Now I think about how it takes just one officer to hurt or even kill someone. Of course, my mind goes to Minneapolis and the shootings there. That could be me, could have been any of us." – ACLU client in Demster v. Blanche In our latest case against the ongoing abuses of ICE and other federal agents – and in defense of our First Amendment rights – we're suing on behalf of Memphis residents who were retaliated against for recording immigration and law enforcement activity. We can't hold our government accountable if we can't see what they're up to. We just filed declarations from these clients last Thursday – here's what to know about their experiences and the suit as it stands: Thousands of federal, state, and local agents have been aggressively patrolling Memphis for months. The 31-agency task force, which includes ICE, CBP, the U.S. Marshals, and the Tennessee Highway Patrol, has wreaked havoc on the community since it arrived in September 2025. Memphis residents report that agents have: Tackled an observer trying to record, pinning her down, arresting, and jailing her Swerved at or boxed in observers with their vehicles Subjected observers to retaliatory traffic stops Photographed observers' faces, vehicles, and license plates Tailed observers in their vehicles and sat outside their homes Identified and taunted observers by name, when observers have never met them before Shined bright lights at observers' faces, phones, and cameras to obscure filming Craig, the Memphis Safe Task Force has terrorized local communities, conducting mass traffic stops and large-scale immigration arrests. Agents have conducted over 124,000 traffic stops – primarily in Black and brown neighborhoods. Of the 3,000 people arrested in the first two months of the Task Force, only 6% were white. Now, our clients are facing retribution simply for filming these abusive operations. We'll be clear: Our right to record law enforcement's public actions is protected by the First Amendment, full stop. And we at the ACLU will always be here to defend that right. Our team will keep you updated on this continued work to protect our rights and our communities against the misconduct and abuse that we have witnessed by ICE and other agents. Thank you as always for being with us in this fight. The ACLU Team

This email was sent by: ACLU 125 Broad St. New York, NY 10004 MY E MAILS TO REP SUBRAMANYAM D-VA 10TH, SEN WARNER D-VA AND SEN KAINE D-VA I am contacting you regarding the deplorable conditions immigrants are being held in at ice detention centers and the 47 detainee deaths in the last 16 months. NOT MY pres drumpf / trump, NOT MY vp vance, their corrupt administration, especially Sec of Homeland Security markwayne mullin, along with their complicit democratic and gop / greed over people-republicans in congress are violating human rights and American civil liberties and are committing crimes against humanity by detaining people in conditions reminiscent of nazi concentration camps, soviet gulags, japanese pow camps, chinese prisons, saudi prisons, and israeli prisons for palestinians. We used to be better than most of the world in how we treated people held in our prison systems. Now we are being listed as among the worst. I expect you to demand Homeland Security correct these detention violations immediately and demand criminal charges be brought against individuals and companies who created these deplorable conditions or at the least allowed them to develop. Especially distressing are the situations created by Homeland Security in Memphis, TN and Newark, NJ. I expect you to take the necessary action to stop any legislation funding Homeland Security until all proposed reforms are adopted as law and the violations of the American Constitution, violations of civil liberties and human rights, and the crimes against humanity being committed by the ice, hsi and cbp gestapo in Memphis, Tennessee and in and outside Delany Hall in Newark, New Jersey are stopped and investigated.
