We also need to talk about remote access management on faculty tech. There has been a barrage of hostile FOIPOP requests from zionists trying to discredit faculty researchers who work on human rights and genocide, too. We need explicit policies at every uni, reviewed by CAUT.

This is what criminalization does - the scope has simply expanded - and why we all need to be putting refusal and resistance to criminalization at the center of our anti authoritarian/antifascist struggles.

In some ways we have been here before & can draw on strategies from our histories & lineages AND current political conditions are starkly different & require us to significantly level up our commitment to community defense. We need to pull out all the stops in defense of students - we're all next

There's a lot of confusion swirling so it may help to explain that the below is actually fairly normal following an ICE arrest. ICE often transfers people to the deep South where some of the largest detention centers are located, and the ICE Detainee Locator system can take up to 24 hours to update.

Unpopular opinion, but people thinking Mexican and Cdn govts played Trump by agreeing to what was already in place (border securitization) are misreading ideological dimension of far right rise Anti migrant racism is cross party, but openly conceding it here entrenches it as "common sense" racism.
