In awarding this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wants to remind the world that the rule of law – national and international – underpins the system we have set up to ensure peace and resolve conflicts non-violently. Peace requires justice.

History has shown that a world operating without the rule of law is unjust, unwise and inhumane. The judges – those who guard the thin red line between order and chaos – are therefore highly deserving of our praise.

But today, as these same judges are sanctioned, and their institutions are attacked, we need people of courage, vision and determination – qualities that 2026 peace laureate Navi Pillay demonstrates in her work on the bench.

Target opening up large active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.”

ICE is slamming far northern Illinois for a second day in a row. Rapid responders in Rockford say federal agents detained a group of roofing workers this morning—eight men all the way from Minnesota. Volunteers are currently trying to locate their families. From a local immigration attorney:

Sprayed plates like on this vehicle currently parked at the Radisson on Bell School Road in Rockford are illegal. FLOCK can't read ICE's sprayed plates but can read law-abiding drivers' plates.

We don't yet know precisely how many people ICE has snatched from the area. between yesterday and today. Sounds like at least a dozen, likely more. So far today they've also fanned out to detained someone in Freeport (25 miles west) and across the state line in Beloit, Wisconsin.

Wilber was finally able to undergo surgery on Thursday—11 days after he was shot. “When ICE can shoot a man in the back and then barely give him any medical treatment and let him suffer, there’s a reason for that because we have gotten to a point where we see people as less than human.”

I'm thankful Minnesota has a strong commitment to local journalism bc it's vital to commit these stories to a public record broader than just 1 lawsuit. And nice of the author to make me sound more professional by not using the bit where I said ICE officers would need instructions written in crayon
On the morning of Sept. 25, Alejandro was brought to the Whipple building, given his belongings and told he was being released.

Alejandro got a few steps farther than Ivan would. He made it outside the building’s front doors.

That’s where plain clothes immigration agents were waiting to handcuff him.

“One of the agents translated for me, saying just like they could release me, they could arrest me again,” Alejandro said in Spanish.

“It's bullshit,” Suitor said. “We won the case.”
