For several years, activists as well as journalist have said it’s difficult to obtain copies of the Memorandum of Understanding between LAPD and Flock. Here is the memorandum of understanding between LAPD and Flock. Dated 6.11.23 and for a three year term.

Democracy as state governance reduces all political relations to a struggle for control of the instruments of domination. Rival factions contend to concentrate power in their hands by gaming the system. This is not self-determination—but competitive authoritarianism. crimethinc.com/2016/04/29/f...

Throughout the ICE raids, local and state police who answer to Democrat politicians have consistently done the dirty work to enable ICE to continue its campaign of ethnic cleansing. Politicians who talk about "maintaining order" are complicit in this campaign of terror. It's up to us. Just us.

An organizing group creating and enforcing boundaries should be seen as an achievement, as it is extremely common for people to sit silently and avoid conflict when community agreements are violated in a group setting.

Just a reminder for the #KHIVE. #ICE
As of late 2024, Vice President Kamala Harris has expressed support for significantly increasing the number of ICE agents, border patrol personnel, and detention beds, marking a shift toward a stronger enforcement-focused approach to border security. She has vowed to revive a bipartisan border security bill that was previously blocked in Congress, which would directly fund these increases.

The notion that police “protect and serve” is copaganda and not an obligation. The motto was originally used by the LAPD, a department who’s responsible for making copaganda a large part of American culture.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
As a Black Hawk helicopter roared overhead, the slender, 28-year-old immigrant from Venezuela answered softly, his eyes darting to a television crew invited to film the raid. Next to Caicedo, masked Border Patrol agents inspected another man’s tattoos and asked him if he belonged to Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has designated a terrorist group.

Until that moment, Caicedo’s only interaction with law enforcement in his two-and-a-half years in the United States had been a traffic stop two weeks earlier for driving without a license or insurance, according to the records we reviewed. Chicago police had run a background check on him and found no prior arrests, no warrants and no evidence that he was in a gang. Caicedo said he had a pending asylum application, a steady job at a taco joint and a girlfriend whose daughter attended elementary school across the street. 

None of that mattered. The U.S. government paraded him and his neighbors in front of the cameras and called their arrests a spectacular victory against terrorism. But later, after the cameras had gone, prosecutors didn’t charge Caicedo with a crime. They didn’t accuse him of being a terrorist. And after a brief hearing in immigration court, the government sent him back to the country he had fled nine years earlier.

“I lost everything,” he said in a phone interview from his mother’s home in the Venezuelan city of Valencia. “For those fools, everyone from Venezuela is a criminal.”
