Climate Organization Behind Anti-ICE Protests Is Leading May 1 School Walkout Plan, Parent Group Reports

One of the main organizations behind the recent protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations is encouraging children to walk out of class en masse next month to help promote its agenda, which includes achieving what it said are “Eco-socialism, [a] multi-racial democracy, and Green New Deal legislation,” according to a April 8 report by representatives of parent group Defending Education.

The Sunrise Movement, during its March 17 online membership meeting, called on schools to “train up” employees and students to disrupt the federal government ahead of planned May 1 “May Day” protests as part of an ongoing “political revolution” to “structurally change the foundations of this country,” according to slides Defending Education, a nonprofit opposing indoctrination in classrooms, obtained from a tipster who attended the meeting.

The Sunrise Movement, according to the slides and its website, describes itself as an anti-President Donald Trump “climate revolution” group that advocates socialism, supports a rainbow coalition of the multi-racial working class, and calls for an end to the “billionaire” two-party political system.

In addition to mass school walkouts, the organization is also calling for more disruptions to Hilton hotels, which have housed ICE officers, according to the slides. Past actions included calling for boycotts of the hotel chain and engaging in “wide awake” events where protestors gathered outside of Hilton-branded hotels and made as much noise as possible to prevent ICE officers—and everyone else staying there—from sleeping.

Another slide illustrates a domino effect that starts with the ideological conversion of students and young people and spreads to teachers, customer service workers, city service workers, factory service workers, shipping and transportation workers, and ultimately “military and police defections.”

“They have zero reservations about using children to advance their political ideology,” Rhyen Staley, Defending Education research director, told The Epoch Times. “These kids are being used for their propaganda.”

Media Lies About ICE: Shot for No Reason, Suicide in Custody, and Married to a Soldier

The media keeps misrepresenting stories by focusing on half-truths and omitting crucial details of ICE cases with the intent of evoking emotions and hatred toward law enforcement. These stories often include emotional and irrelevant framing, such as claims that someone was on his way to see his premature baby, his wife was having chemo, someone close to him had a heart attack for unrelated reasons, or he was on his way to donate a kidney when he was arrested for no reason or for being brown.

They say he was in the process of getting his paperwork done, he was hardworking, she just wanted a better life, or they were confused because they spoke no English. But when you investigate the cases, you find that ICE was right, the people were in the country illegally, and here is what actually happened.

Three cases this week follow the same pattern.

The first narrative is of an innocent man shot by ICE for no reason. The facts are that an illegal alien, a gang member wanted for murder, was shot while using his vehicle as a weapon against ICE agents.

ICE identified the target as Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, an illegal alien and 18th Street Gang member wanted in El Salvador for questioning in connection with a murder. He was flagged by the National Targeting Center.

The Department of Justice has described the 18th Street Gang, a designated transnational terrorist organization, as a “well-known and established international criminal organization and violent street gang” with more than 100,000 members in the United States.

ICE agents conducted a targeted vehicle stop near Interstate 5 in Patterson, about 90 miles south of Sacramento. As agents approached the car, Mendoza Hernandez used his vehicle in an attempt to run over an agent. Officers fired defensive shots to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and the public.

Federal Judge Rejects Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan’s Bid to Toss Out Jury’s Guilty Verdict on Charges for Helping Illegal Alien Evade ICE

A federal judge on Monday rejected Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan’s bid to toss out a jury’s guilty verdict on charges for helping an illegal alien evade ICE agents.

US District Judge Lynn Adelman, a Clinton appointee, denied Hannah Dugan’s motions.

In December, Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan was found guilty of obstruction for helping an illegal alien evade ICE agents.

Dugan was acquitted of count 1 – the misdemeanor but she was found guilty on count 2 – the felony obstruction.

She is facing five years in prison.

Last April, a federal grand jury indicted Hannah Dugan for helping an illegal alien evade ICE agents.

According to the FBI, Dugan became angry when she found out that ICE agents were waiting outside of her courtroom last week to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal alien involved in a domestic abuse case she was overseeing. She allegedly directed Flores-Ruiz to exit the courthouse through a private jury door to evade arrest.

Sen. Van Hollen Shares Sob Story Blaming ICE for Seriously Injuring Supposed “Asylum Seeker” in Crash and It Backfires When DHS Reveals the Cold Truth About Incident

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), who infamously became criminal illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s greatest champion, shared a sob story about a supposed “asylum seeker” named Ever Alvarenga Rios that later blew up in his face.

As WMAR reports, an attorney for Rios alleged that his client was driving in Highlandtown Thursday morning when agents supposedly “violently rear-ended” his vehicle and proceeded to take him into custody.

Rios was later hospitalized with injuries to his head, chest, back, and hands.

“I think this is probably the most egregious case that I’ve seen in terms of causing physical bodily injury to the person involved,” Rios’s attorney, Adam Crandell, said. “It’s disturbing, to say the least, that this is how ICE appears to be choosing to interact.”

Crandell went on to state that ICE agents are refusing to allow him or any other people to visit Rios.

Initially, we were told that it was a medical issue that he needed to be stabilized before he could accept visitors or any type of legal visit. Then the story changed and we were told today that there was an issue with the paperwork,” Crandell claimed. “Even more recently, I was told that so long as he remains hospitalized, ICE will not allow us access to him.”

On Saturday morning, Van Hollen took the opportunity to regurgitate Alvarenga’s attorneys’ talking points and to smear ICE agents as “endangering our communities and violating the Constitution.”

US ICE detains Islamic Society of Milwaukee President Salah Sarsour

Islamic Society of Milwaukee President Salah Sarsour, who is a Palestinian American, has been detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, the mosque said on Thursday.

ISM, which is Wisconsin’s largest mosque, said Sarsour, 53, is a legal permanent resident who has lived in the U.S. for over three decades and was detained on Monday. He grew up in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

“He was pulled over while driving by over 10 ICE agents with no cause,” a page on the mosque’s website said, adding he was taken out of the state to a detention facility in Chicago before being transferred to a detention center in Indiana.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel cited Othman Atta, the executive director of the mosque, as saying that deportation documents focused on Sarsour’s arrest by Israeli authorities as a teenager living in the West Bank to argue he provided material support for extremists.

Atta said Sarsour was convicted as a teenager in an Israeli military court, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Though Israel has ratified the U.N. convention against torture, Israeli rights group B’Tselem says military courts in the West Bank, where Palestinians are tried for alleged crimes, have a 96 percent conviction rate and a history of extracting confessions through torture.

Atta denied that Sarsour supported the militant group Hamas.

Sarsour is “being targeted on the basis of his Palestinian and Muslim background, and his advocacy for Palestinian rights,” the mosque said.

9th Circuit Court of Appeals allows feds to use crowd-control munitions on Portland anti-ICE protesters

The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has temporarily blocked an order prohibiting federal agents from using crowd control munitions on protesters at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon.

The 2-1 panel decision, issued on Wednesday, intervenes in two separate federal cases, with two Trump-appointed judges, Kenneth Lee and Eric Tung, granting the Trump administration administrative stays. Judge Ana De Alba dissented.

An administrative stay is intended to “minimize harm while an appellate court deliberates” and lasts “no longer than necessary to make an intelligent decision on the motion for stay pending appeal,” as stated in the order.

The decision comes just days before the nationwide “No Kings” protests, a coordinated left-wing event that led to the siege of the ICE facility twice last year: in June and again in October. Riots were declared at both of those events.

On March 9, US District Court Judge Michael Simon issued a preliminary injunction barring federal law enforcement officers from deploying less-lethal rounds on protesters, unless there is an “imminent threat” to officer safety. This includes chemical or projectile munitions, such as tear gas, pepper balls, flash-bang grenades, rubber bullets, pepper or oleoresin capsicum spray, and other less-lethal weapons. The ruling followed a three-day evidentiary hearing, in which Judge Simon sided with a group of Antifa-affiliated protesters in Dickinson v Trump.

The plaintiffs, led by Jack Dickinson, also known as the “Portland Chicken,” claimed that federal officers were violating their First Amendment rights through the “unlawful” use of crowd control measures, which were meant to have a “chilling” effect on demonstrators to discourage them from returning to the ICE facility to protest, thus violating their rights through “retaliatory animus.”

Minnesota Sues Trump Administration Over ICE-Involved Shootings – Walz Says He’s Building Case with Leftist Nonprofits and the UN

The State of Minnesota has filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration in its ongoing attempt to investigate ICE and CBP agents who were involved in shootings during law enforcement activities.

The incidents include the shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two crazed leftists who attacked ICE agents, and Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, a criminal illegal alien who was wounded while attacking ICE agents in northern Minneapolis in January.

Minnesota is suing for evidence and information on the shootings, for which the FBI previously denied state investigators access.

On Thursday, Tim Walz discussed the lawsuit on MSNow, revealing that he is working with the American Civil Liberties Union, pro-immigrant groups, and even the UN to build his case, while accusing the Trump Administration of human rights abuses.

He further trashed President Trump, stating that he will continue fighting for so-called justice until “the final days of this administration and beyond.”

Democrat NJ Gov. Mikie Sherrill Signs Law Banning ICE Agents from Wearing Masks, DHS Vows Not to Comply

Democrat New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill signed legislation this week banning law enforcement, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, from wearing masks, leaving then vulnerable to targeted harassment.

The governor signed SCS for S3114 and 3216/A1743, which, according the March 25 press release, “Requires law enforcement officer[s] to reveal facial identity during certain public interactions and to present sufficient identification prior to arresting or detaining person.”

In a statement describing the bills she signed, Sherrill said, “These bills underscore that here in New Jersey, we still follow the Constitution and uphold the rule of law.”

“My focus as governor remains on keeping the public safe,” she continued before taking a dig at President Donald Trump, describing ICE agents as “untrained” and “unaccountable.”

“As we’ve seen across the country, Donald Trump’s untrained, unaccountable, masked ICE agents are putting people in danger,” she said.

“That’s why in New Jersey, we are protecting our communities — strengthening our protections, banning ICE agents from wearing masks, and protecting residents’ privacy from federal overreach,” Sherrill added.

This has remained a sticking point when it comes to the partial government shutdown as Democrats have demanded reforms to ICE, taking issue, specifically, with the use of masks.

“Senate Democrats want to ban ICE officers from wearing masks so their left-wing street militias can dox the officers and terrorize the officers’ wives and children at their homes,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said on Wednesday, offering further perspective on day 40 of the Senate battle over funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

On Thursday the shutdown reached day 41.

Finally: MN Activist judges just got hogtied by higher court…

This is a huge win for President Trump and the American people. All those activist judges just got a good ol’ fashioned spanking by a higher court.

As you know by now, the playbook is always the same: lower-court activist judges try to jam up President Trump’s immigration agenda with their lawfare rulings. The media claps like trained seals, the activists act like they scored a real win, and then the case moves up the judicial ladder and reality comes crashing through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man.

And that’s exactly what happened here.

This fight was about whether ICE can keep illegals detained while deportation proceedings are underway, or whether lower-court judges can keep stepping in to give them bond hearings and release them back into the country.

Judges in Minnesota have been siding with the illegals, creating the loopholes Dems and open-border activists need. They want to delay the process, and make it easier for illegals to slither into American communities while the paperwork drags on and on.

Now the 8th Circuit has stepped in and put a stop to that. It’s done, and it’s a huge slap to activist judges and a major win for Trump and the American people who voted for secured borders and mass deportations.

If the government’s trying to deport someone and these lower-court activist judges keep forcing release after release, the system turns into a joke. It just a massive assembly line moving people into US neighborhoods, where they’ll never be seen again.

And this is why this win is such a huge blow to Minnesota’s activist judges. They had been playing games left and right, and now a higher court has hogtied them. Activist judges in Minnesota, can no longer play the “catch-and-release” game.

Trump is winning where it counts.

ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Charged With Attempted Murder After His Brother, a Philly Cop, Bailed Him Out

A Philadelphia cop bailed his brother, 27-year-old illegal-alien Jamaican thug Christopher Leon Bailey, out of jail after the brother road-raged and attempted to murder another motorist, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reported.

Last week, ICE collared Bailey. Before his brother, an immigration judge was involved in keeping Bailey on the streets when he freed him after his arrest in 2023.

Unclear is whether the far-left district attorney in Philadelphia and the city’s sheriff will investigate the matter. Both have said ICE agents will be arrested if they attempt to enforce federal immigration laws in the city and “commit crimes” while doing so.

On January 23, Bailey “was the aggressor in a road rage incident, where he chased down an individual he almost hit with a car in Ridley Township,” about 18 southwest of Philadelphia, ICE reported:

The incident escalated into an armed confrontation where Bailey pulled a knife and attempted to stab the individual. Bailey then got back into his car, chased and ran over the victim, and afterwards, fled the scene.  

Authorities charged the Jamaican goon with myriad crimes. They include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, recklessly endangering another person, and possessing an instrument of crime. Reviewing video of the assault led to a charge of attempted murder.

ICE arrested Bailey on March 16, which raises the question of why he was back on the street for ICE to arrest. Answer: Because his brother, the cop, bailed him out, ICE reported on X yesterday.

The cop “posted a cash bond Feb. 8, and the suspect was released without notification to ICE,” the agency reported:

[ICE] agents arrested him before he was remanded to the Delaware County Prison — in a sanctuary jurisdiction — March 16 when he appeared in court with his brother, who was in full uniform. Bailey will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings until the county issues a judicial writ.

Aside from that twist — a cop’s bailing out his brother after he was charged with attempted murder — Bailey’s story is typical, ICE explained.
