🚨 BREAKING: Two dozen Jewish New Yorkers were just arrested at Palantir’s West 18th Street office during Passover for protesting the company’s collaboration with ICE. We will not celebrate the Jewish holiday of liberation quietly while Palantir profits from ICE kidnapping our neighbors.

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.

Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Wasow’s study supports the use of nonviolent direct action during the civil rights movement, a protest technique that King favored for both moral and STRATEGIC reasons. Excerpt from a paper by me (currently under peer review):

King knew that tension fostered by nonviolent protest often provokes from oppressive systems the very reactions that protesters seek to dramatize. The predictable backlash to nonviolent direct action is a strategic advantage for protesters, drawing attention to the conditions in need of change, but only when
protesters do not retaliate and return violence with violence. Quoting Gandhi, King
(1958) said, "suffering is infinitely more powerful than the law of the jungle for converting the opponent and opening his ears which are otherwise shut to the voice of reason" (p. 92).

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

It's like Mamdani pushed his shopping cart up and down the aisles of Trump's mind and loaded up on stuff to bring back to his city. Protecting his city from ICE even before he takes office is huge (I mean, obviously Trump is a man of his word salad, but it was worth a try; see link below).
