Industry of Deportation

 

JEFFREY ST CLAIR 

+ ICE is opening a new private prison in Michigan for noncitizens (maybe even citizens, given ICE’s recent track record) rounded up by Trump’s raids. The North Lake Facility in Baldwin used to be a private federal prison. It was closed in 2022 and then acquired by the GEO Group, which expects to rake in more than $70 million in yearly revenue. Ka-aching! (The German company Topf und Söhne, which described itself as just “an ordinary company,” made millions selling crematoria and ventilation systems for gas chambers to the SS. Their full role in the Holocaust wasn’t uncovered until 1980. The companies complicit in the ethnic cleansing of the US can be found on the stock exchange.)

+ John Sandweg, who served as an acting director of ICE during the Obama administration.“If your goal is to increase the number of deportations, you can’t hit big numbers of removals without focusing on the non-criminal population.”

+ DHS Secretary Kristi “the Puppy Killer” Noem has ordered polygraphs at DHS to hunt down staffers who’ve leaked to the media about ICE raids. If everything’s perfectly legit and exactly what most Americans who can trace their ancestry back to the Mayflower (or Pretoria, South Africa) want, why are they concerned about “leaks”?

+ Even the NYT’s rightwing columnist Ross Douthat sees the problem with this: “As in the War on Terror, a theory of sweeping executive power over suspected enemies will allow for executive practices that sweep up people who may not be enemies at all.”

Bogeymen And Trojan Horses: How Trump And Musk Rule

 

 "When we’re hit with a barrage of attacks, seemingly from all sides, it’s often very helpful to climb up a level and assess the situation from a higher vantage point. From there, we can see some commonalities in the other side’s strategy and develop our own to counter them.

It takes a bit of discipline, but if we stop thrashing around in panic and rise above the smoke and din, the picture becomes clear. It turns out that neither Donald Trump nor Elon Musk is very original in how he operates. Their M.O.s largely come down to two classic and well-understood ploys: bogeymen and Trojan horses.

Once we understand that most everything coming from Trump, Musk and the administration is either a bogeyman scare or a Trojan horse deception, we know how to identify threats and tactics far more readily. Here are some quick examples:"

Episodes From the Great Disappearance

 

 

JEFFREY ST. CLAIR

+ Reporter: “Do you think you have the authority, the power, to round up people and deport them, and then you’re under no obligation to a court to show the evidence against them?”

Trump: “That is what the law says [sic], and that’s what our country needs.”

+ In late February, the Canadian actress Jasmine Mooney was kidnapped by ICE after she tried to renew her work visa at the US/Mexico border. She was cuffed, thrown into a van, held prisoner for 12 days, denied access to a lawyer, made to sleep on concrete floors and given a forced pregnancy test before being sent back to Canada with no explanation from DHS officials for the brutality of her treatment. Mooney described her surreal ordeal in vivid terms for an article in The Guardian.

+ On March 5, Ranjani Srinivasan was told by email that her student visa had been revoked after she attended a couple of protests and liked some social media posts in support of Palestinians in Gaza. Ranjani, a 37-year-old architect from India who was on the verge of completing her doctoral program in urban planning at Columbia, withdrew from school and fled to Canada after ICE knocked on her dorm door and accused her of advocating “violence and terrorism.” In an interview with Boston radio station WBUR, Ranjani said:

I’m not a terrorist sympathizer. I’m not pro-Hamas. And I think it’s really dangerous to label any free speech that somebody disagrees with, or any sort of peaceful objection to global issues, as terrorism. I think it just creates a climate of fear where people are scared to share their opinions. There’s a feeling that your visa could be revoked for even the simplest political speech, and the whole point of an American university is to have debate and nuance about ideas to contest them freely. I think there’s a general fear of doing that now.

+ On March 7, Fabian Schmidt was detained by immigration officers at Logan Airport in Boston on his way back from Luxembourg. Schmidt holds a green card and has lived and worked in the US since moving to the States with his mother in 2007. He became a permanent resident in 2008 and has worked in the US as an electrical engineer ever since. As ICE officers interrogated him and demanded he surrender his green card, his partner, a cardiologist and US citizen, waited for him for four hours at the airport. During his detention, Schmidt was stripped naked, placed in a cold shower, and deprived of food, water, and medication. He collapsed before being hospitalized at Mass General. After his release from the hospital, Schmidt was taken to an ICE facility in Burlington, Mass., and then transferred to an ICE jail in Rhode Island. Schmidt’s green card had recently been renewed and there were no pending legal cases against him. He wasn’t served with a warrant at the time of his arrest and wasn’t permitted to contact his family for three days. Schmidt has an 8-year-old daughter who is a US citizen.

+ On March 9, a French space researcher was subjected to a “random” search upon arrival in the US. His phone and computer were confiscated and searched. The DHS agents found a series of text messages describing Trump’s treatment of scientists, which they used to accuse him of harboring a “hatred of toward Trump that could be described as terrorism.” He was held in custody overnight and deported back to Europe the next day. Agence France Press later reported that DHS had accused him of “hateful and conspiratorial messages” and had referred him to the FBI.

+ On March 12, Dr. Rasha Alawieh was detained by immigration officials at Boston’s Logan Airport. She was told that her visa had been revoked and that she would be deported back to Lebanon, where she’d been visiting her parents. Her phone and computer were confiscated. Dr. Alawieh works at Brown Medicine and Rhode Island Hospital. She had secured an H-1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027. She was trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, the University of Washington, and Yale as a transplant surgeon. She hasn’t been convicted or accused of a crime. In court filings, ICE claimed to have discovered photos on her phone that were “sympathetic” to leaders of Hezbollah. It turns out that the images weren’t Dr. Alaweigh’s but had been posted to a group chat she belonged to.

+ On March 17, masked ICE agents arrested Badar Khan Suri outside his own in Arlington, Virginia. Bara is an Indian national with a student visa who was doing post-doctoral research at Georgetown University. The agents told Badar his visa had been revoked and he would be deported to India. Badar has no criminal record and is married to a US citizen. Badar’s lawyer, Hassan Ahmad, told Politico that he had been targeted because of his wife’s Palestinian heritage. In a sworn statement, Badar’s wife, Mapheze Saleh, said the detention of her husband “has completely upended our lives…Our children are in desperate need of their father and miss him dearly. As a mother of three children, I desperately need his support to take care of them and me.” On Thursday, a federal court blocked Badar’s deportation.

+ ICE has arrested more people (13,000) in the first 22 days of February 2025 than any other month in the last seven years

A ascenção do autoritarismo nos EUA é uma realidade

 

JAMIL CHADE

Primeiro foram deportados os criminosos estrangeiros, aqueles indesejados numa sociedade que zela pela segurança de seus filhos. Muitos aplaudiram.

Depois, foram os estrangeiros sem documentos que cometeram o crime de cruzar as fronteiras para tentar sobreviver. Mais uma vez, muitos não contiveram o sorriso.

Mas não demorou para que as deportações e prisões chegassem aos estrangeiros, desta vez com todos seus papéis em ordem. Seus crimes? Expressar suas opiniões políticas.


Enquanto isso, acadêmicos passaram a ter recursos cortados por tratarem de temas "inadequados".
De repente, um mal-estar se estabeleceu.

Um novo dicionário foi publicado, vetando termos que não seriam mais adequados numa sociedade livre. Em um ano, nos estados ultraconservadores, dez mil obras foram censuradas de bibliotecas públicas e escolas.

Em palanques que flertam com cenas que pensávamos que eram incapazes de serem repetidas depois da queda do nazismo, a sugestão é de que até mesmo americanos poderiam também ser expulsos do país.

Nesta semana, uma imagem me chocou. A responsável pela Segurança Interna dos EUA, Kristi Noem, fez questão de gravar uma mensagem aos imigrantes num cenário aterrorizante. Atrás dela, não havia uma bandeira americana. Mas uma cela onde estavam homens, todos eles desnudos da parte de cima do corpo, amarrados, com a cabeça raspada e humilhados.

A ordem do governo é a de instaurar o medo. Conseguiram.Relatos cada vez mais frequentes apontam que, temendo serem presos, imigrantes deixaram de ir ao trabalho. O resultado tem sido um desabamento de suas rendas.

Sem dinheiro e ainda mais pobres, constatam que estão ainda mais vulneráveis. Cada vez mais soterrados.

Nos gabinetes do governo, a ordem é ainda a de interromper qualquer ajuda financeira, moradia ou saúde para quem não está de forma regular no país. Asfixiar os sonhos como estratégia política.

Do Salão Oval, a ordem é também a de atacar a imprensa profissional, fechar órgãos públicos de mídia e humilhar jornalistas. A censura ainda chega às artes, às universidades e cala a todos os que temem por seus destinos profissionais.

A agressão diária à constituição americana é ainda acompanhada por declarações de apoio pela expulsão de juízes, violando os princípios básicos da separação de poder numa república.

Na Casa Branca, propostas começam a ser desenhadas para que trabalhadores sejam impossibilitados de atuar em sindicatos.

Não nos enganemos: a ascensão do autoritarismo nos EUA do século 21 é uma realidade e está ocorrendo diante dos nossos olhos.

David Frum, ex-redator de discursos de George W Bush, publicou nas redes sociais um alerta:
Quase todas as principais ações de Trump são intencionalmente ilegais. Trump está apostando que o sistema democrático dos EUA está quebrado demais para impedi-lo. Ele supõe, para usar uma frase: 'Tudo o que temos de fazer é chutar a porta e todo o edifício desmoronará'. Chegou a hora do teste.
O experimento democrático de 240 anos dos EUA está ameaçado.

Bread Lines and Salty Drinking Water:

"Last Sunday, it severed electricity supplies to the territory — a move that shuttered most operations at a water desalination plant and deprived about 600,000 people in central Gaza of clean drinking water, according to the United Nations.

The Israeli energy minister has hinted that a water cutoff might be next. Some wells are still functioning in central Gaza, aid officials say, but they supply only brackish water, which poses long-term health risks to those who drink it.

Israel had already closed off all other sources of electricity that it used to provide for Gaza, a measure that followed the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel that began the war. That left essential services to run on solar panels or generators, if power was available at all.

Now there is no fuel coming in for anything, including generators, ambulances or cars."

Thoughts On The Trump Team's Signal Chat About Bombing Yemen

"What’s getting a lot less discussion in mainstream political discourse is the depraved nature of the bombing itself, and the Trump team’s exuberance about murdering civilians seen in the brief exchange of messages. Waltz describes to the group how US forces waited until a target entered an apartment building and then flattened it with an airstrike, eliciting digital applause from the rest of the administration.

Imagine how fucked up you have to be inside to react this way to the bombing of an apartment building full of civilians. How far gone you have to be as a human being. These are the kinds of freaks who rule our world. "

US deportees face brutal conditions in El Salvador mega-prison: ‘Severe overcrowding, inadequate food’

 

 

"he US has accused these people of gang membership, so on the one hand, there’s a concern that they could attract the attention of rival gangs or cartels operating in the prison. For someone to come in and be perceived, whether or not it’s true, as being a member of a different gang is a territorial threat – and gangs in prison maintain their territorial control through violence and intimidation.

 

And then there is a chance people who have been deported from the US will also have a higher risk of targeting because of their connections to people in the US, and to the US economy. We know this kind of targeting also happens to Salvadorians who are deported from the US. They could be targeted for physical violence as a threat to make them pay, for example – that’s one of the many concerns I have."

Elvis, ‘Cats’ and Babe Ruth: Chairman Trump Reimagines the Kennedy Center

 

 

"At the meeting on Monday, Mr. Trump complained that the center had been celebrating “radical left lunatics” and proposed giving posthumous awards to Pavarotti, Presley and Ruth. (Artists being honored posthumously, of course, cannot weigh in on current politics. Pavarotti, who died in 2007, had already been honored by the Kennedy Center in 2001; in 2016 his heirs asked Mr. Trump to stop playing his recordings at campaign rallies.)

Kennedy Center Honors have traditionally been bestowed on artists. But Mr. Trump suggested they might also look to the world of sports, politics and business, naming the casino mogul Steve Wynn, a major Republican donor, as a potential recipient. (Mr. Trump appointed Mr. Wynn’s wife, Andrea, to the Kennedy Center’s board.)

“You could do entrepreneurs, you could do people that, you know, that were really in charge of show business,” he said. “I would say you could do politicians, you could do sports stars.”

Social security & sex robots: Elon Musk veers off script with Joe Rogan

 

 "At one point, Rogan asked Musk what it was like to have purchased Twitter, “and then people call you a Nazi on that same thing you bought?”

Musk seemed to respond with puns. “I did not see it coming,” he said, seemingly pronouncing the word “Nazi” in the middle of the sentence, a joke he has also made in writing. “It’s classic,” he said.

“People will Goebbels anything down,” he said, seeming to pronounce the last name of Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi politician, instead of the word “gobble.”"

But it might take this script written by Thorne and Graham, together with such a convincing portrayal of contemporary police officers, teachers, teenagers and parents, to allow the public to truly recognise the dangers threatening to overtake society."

‘Severance’ Finale: Which Theories Were Correct?

 

 "The “Severance” rabbit hole online is deep, with fans sharing theories about the meaning of the notes used for elevator dings, the true nature of the Lumon Industries office (is it actually a hospital?) and other arcana. Would any of them pay off in the Season 2 finale?

Yes, as it turned out.

Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on Signal -

 

 "Let us pause here for a moment to underscore a point. This Signal message shows that the U.S. secretary of defense texted a group that included a phone number unknown to him—Goldberg’s cellphone—at 11:44 a.m. This was 31 minutes before the first U.S. warplanes launched, and two hours and one minute before the beginning of a period in which a primary target, the Houthi “Target Terrorist,” was expected to be killed by these American aircraft. If this text had been received by someone hostile to American interests—or someone merely indiscreet, and with access to social media—the Houthis would have had time to prepare for what was meant to be a surprise attack on their strongholds. The consequences for American pilots could have been catastrophic."

Impossível desver 'Sem chão'

 

 

Dorrit Harazim

 Estreia no Brasil o filme “Sem chão” (“No other land”, em inglês), ganhador do Oscar de Melhor Documentário, concedido pela Academia de Artes e Ciências Cinematográficas de Hollywood. Ao contrário do que ocorreu no Brasil com “Ainda estou aqui” , ou na Letônia com a premiação de “Flow”, não houve estado de graça nem festança nacional pela conquista da estatueta. Nem poderia. Obra de um inédito coletivo de quatro diretores (dois israelenses, Yuval Abraham e Rachel Szor, e dois palestinos, Basel Adra e Hamdan Ballal), “Sem chão” enfrenta dificuldades de exibição até mesmo em seus países de origem. Em Israel, berço dos diretores israelenses, o ministro da Cultura e dos Esportes, Miki Zohar, instruiu entidades nacionais a não divulgar a obra que, no seu entender, “calunia Israel no cenário global”. Na Cisjordânia palestina, onde nasceram e vivem os outros dois diretores, nada há para celebrar. A Palestina não existe como Estado independente, continua sob ocupação. É essa ferida aberta que o documentário estatela à nossa frente, com cenas reais filmadas ao longo de cinco anos, muitas vezes com apenas a câmera de um celular. Quem assistir não conseguirá desver.

O filme foca no viver e morrer dos moradores de Masafer Yatta, aglomerado de 19 vilarejos da Cisjordânia cuja subsistência depende do pastoreio e da agricultura familiar. Em 1980, do nada, o ministério da Defesa de Israel declarou parte da região “zona de tiro” das Forças Armadas e ali passou a executar uma série de operações de treinamento para afugentar famílias e rebanhos. Foi apenas o início. Desde criança, o hoje ativista e codiretor de “Sem chão” Adra, de 28 anos, formado em Direito, vivencia a crescente tentativa de asfixia do morar palestino na região. Até que um dia pegou sua câmera e começou a registrar o sistemático desmonte de humanidade ao seu redor. “Comecei a filmar quando nossa gente começou a acabar”, diz ele.

Em 2019, conheceu o jornalista investigativo israelense Abraham, do site progressista +972, que costumava cobrir protestos de palestinos na Cisjordânia. Abraham tinha fluência em árabe, era dois anos mais velho que Adra e passou a frequentar quase semanalmente a região, considerada a mais opressiva dos territórios ocupados. Desse encontro entre a diretora de fotografia Szor e o palestino Ballal nasceu o dolorido documentário.

Ele é cru, irregular na forma e no conteúdo, editado aos solavancos e entrecortado por diálogos de poucas palavras que dizem montes. Uma das cenas mais chocantes mostra um ancião palestino que protestava contra o confisco de seu gerador sendo baleado no peito, à queima-roupa, por forças de segurança israelenses. Ficou tetraplégico e sem casa. Terminou seus dias morando com a família numa caverna, mas na sua terra — sair daquele chão, jamais. Por vezes são as crueldades pequenas que congelam a alma: a destruição parcial, e inteiramente gratuita, de uma linha de transmissão erguida a duras penas; o despejo de cimento num poço d’água, igualmente gratuito; o incêndio do único carro existente para o transporte de aldeões; o uso de uma escavadeira para arrasar o playground local; a demolição de uma escola, de um galinheiro; a proibição de acesso às oliveiras em tempos de colheita. É o estrangulamento da vida palestina à luz do dia, executada tanto pelas Forças Armadas como por colonos israelenses cada vez mais militarizados.

Adra considera “Sem chão” uma ferramenta, não um fim em si — ferramenta para mostrar ao mundo o cotidiano na Cisjordânia. “Rejeito o discurso de que se trata de ‘um conflito’, de que há dois lados a considerar. Neste caso, existe apenas um lado responsável por controle, opressão, ocupação e apartheid”, declarou ao jornal israelense Haaretz. Abraham, residente em Jerusalém, também faz ouvir sua voz: “Moramos a pouco mais de meia hora de distância um do outro, mas tenho direitos que ele não tem. Posso circular livremente por onde quiser. Adra, como milhões de palestinos, está trancado na Cisjordânia. Essa desigualdade, essa situação de apartheid entre nós tem de acabar”.

Nos Estados Unidos de Donald Trump, “Sem chão” ainda não encontrou um distribuidor de porte, mesmo depois da conquista do Oscar. Na Alemanha, onde Abraham foi chamado de antissemita por um integrante do governo, também não. Em Israel, uma carta aberta assinada por mais de cem cineastas manifestou apoio à exibição do filme. “Vivemos tempos perigosos que refletem a deterioração da liberdade de criação em Israel”, diz o manifesto. E acrescenta: “Quer você concorde ou não com os artistas, ‘Sem chão’ é uma contribuição vital para o debate público (...). Esperamos que os israelenses assistam e o julguem de forma independente”.

Se, em algum remoto dia, a distância entre Basel Adra e Yuval Abraham se tornar transponível, o documentário terá recebido muito mais que um Oscar e seus outros 38 prêmios internacionais.

A soccer player in maximum security

 

JEFFREY ST. CLAIR>

+ Here’s the declaration of immigration attorney Linette Tobin on the arrest and deportation to El Salvador of her client Jerce Reyes Barrios, a professional soccer player and dissident from Venezuela who was seeking asylum in the US as a political refugee.

1. I am the immigration attorney for Jerce Reyes Barrios, born in [sic] January 16, 1989 in Venezuela.

2. In February and March 2024, Mr Reyes Barrios marched in two demonstrations in Venezuela, protesting the authoritarian rule of Maduro. At the second demonstration, he was detained and taken to a clandestine building where he was tortured (electric shocks and suffocation) along with other demonstrators.

3. Shortly after his release, he fled Venezuela for the United States. He registered with CBP One in Mexico, then presented himself to CBP officials on the day of his appointment. He was taken into custody and detained at Otay Mesa Detention Facility in September 2024. 

4. We applied for asylum, withdrawal of removal, and CAT protection in December 2024. His final individual hearing is set for April 17, 2025, before Judge Robinson at the Otay Mesa immigration court.

5. On March 15, 2025, Mr. Reyes Barrios was deported to El Salvador with no notice to counsel or family. It was not until March 18, 2025, that counsel was able to reach an ICE official and learn that he had, in fact, been deported.

6. Mr. Reyes Barrio was/is a professional soccer player in Venezuela. He has never been arrested or charged with a crime. He has a steady employment record as a soccer player, as well as a soccer coach for children and youth.

7. Initially, Mr Barrios was placed in maximum security at Otay Mesa and accused of being a Tren de Aragua gang member. The accusation is based on two things. First, he has a tattoo on his arm of a crown sitting atop a soccer ball with a rosary and the word “Dios.” DHS alleges that this tattoo is proof of gang membership. In reality, he chose the tattoo because it is similar to the logo for his favorite soccer team, Real Madrid. See the logo below.

8. Second, DHS reviewed his social media posts and found a photo of Mr. Reyes Barrios making a hand gesture that they allege is proof of gang membership. In fact, the gesture is a common one: It means “I Love You” in sign language and is commonly used as a Rock-and-Roll symbol.

9. After submitting a police clearance from Venezuela indicating no criminal record, multiple employment letters, a declaration from the tattoo artist who rendered the tattoo, and various online images showing similar soccer ball/crown tattoos and explaining the meaning of the hand gestures, Mr Reyes Barrios was transferred out of maximum security.

10. Nevertheless, on March 10th or 11th, he was transferred from Otay Mesa to Texas without notice. Then, on March 15, 2025, he was deported to El Salvador. Counsel and family have lost all contact with him and have no information regarding his whereabouts or condition.
