ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: ‘They didn’t care Juanita Avila later helped expose ICE’s ‘arrest first, justify later’ tactics in a lawsuit that won a major victory for #immigrants’ rights https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/06/ice-arrest-oregon-shop-owner from #TheGuardian March 6, 2026 The moment 19-year-old Emely Agustin spotted the group of masked #immigration agents tackling a woman face down on the pavement, her heart dropped. She saw the woman’s red jacket. “Oh my fucking God. That’s my mom!” she screamed. It was the morning of 5 November in Cottage Grove, #Oregon, and masked officers with #ICE had dragged Juanita Avila out of her van. The agents pinned her down as she cried out for her daughter, who started filming. Juanita, a 47-year-old legal permanent resident, had her green card in her pocket, but officers handcuffed and detained her. #AbolishICE #ImmigrantRightsAreHumanRights #DefendRuleOfLaw #DueProcessForAll #deportations #USA #USpol #politics #protest #news

ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into wall triggers tension at a #Minnesota hospital https://apnews.com/article/immigration-enforcement-minneapolis-hospitals-32cd5ca61d495e155d43b7cfd5e563b9 from #TheAssociatedPress #AP #APNews Updated 10:12 AM EST, January 31, 2026 Intensive care nurses immediately doubted the word of federal #immigration officers when they arrived at a #Minneapolis hospital with a #Mexican #immigrant who had broken bones in his face and skull. #ICE agents initially claimed Alberto Castañeda Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall,” according to court documents filed by a lawyer seeking his release. But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the 31-year-old’s brain, said three nurses familiar with the case. #ImmigrantRightsAreHumanRights #DefendRuleOfLaw #DueProcessForAll #StopTheDeportations #AbolishICE #immigrants #deportations #USA #US #USpol #politics #news
