In Lochiel, Arizona, where people have been resisting the construction of the border wall, one brave activist locked down to construction machinery—and Border Patrol drove it away with them locked to it. "We're taking you to the middle of nowhere where no one can hear you scream."

This ICE flight has landed in Nairobi. Now watching for local charter flight to Mogadishu like there was two weeks ago. Migrant passengers onboard since Alexandria, LA, have been shackled for at least 22 hours. From Gitmo, for at least 17 hours.
