LEXIS ♥️ I.C.E.

"I.C.E. has been contracting with data brokers like LexisNexis to circumvent the law and court orders." - Cinthya Rodriguez from @ConMijente shares with us in our #EndtheContracts campaign event

Both directions of the Golden Gate Bridge have been shut down due to a Pro-Palestinian protest. Demonstrators have blocked the southbound direction of Highway 101. This is the second protest causing major back-ups on Bay Area roadways, the demonstration has blocked northbound I-880 in Oakland. https://t.co/9Dcotu6gFe

[Amnesty at UIUC @uiucamnesty]

Alongside @SJPUIUC and @BarNoneLaw, Amnesty UIUC will be hosting a discussion on BDS (Boycott, Divest and Sanctions) laws in Illinois with State Representative @rashidforil in Latzer Hall of the University YMCA.

"Now is the time to mobilize, to defend the Tampa 5 and the right to protest." Thank you to all those who braved the inclement weather yesterday to denounce Ron DeSantis's & @USouthFlorida's attacks on basic democratic rights. Protesting is not a crime! Drop the charges! #Tampa5

It’s me! Read to learn more about how ICE is able obtain personal records with a simple search through private contracts with data brokers. Cook County is combatting this business practice through legislation proposed by grass roots orgs.

For years law students have been calling attention to the complicity of data brokers with ICE within their schools and in the community.

If you are a law school student interested in this campaign and getting involved, send us a DM!

Students at various schools with the @ECCAbolishICE are dropping banners and talking to other students, faculty, and school staff about how LexisNexis profits from the surveillance, detention, and deportation of immigrants.

Don’t see your school on the list? Join the #EndtheContract Coalition and get your school involved in pushing for the termination of these contracts! Visit https://t.co/NmCbOROP7v (6/6)

In February, @LexisNexis renewed its $22 million contract to sell a massive database of our personal information to ICE which will be used to track people down. #EndtheContract (1/6)

[Bar None @BarNoneLaw]

Law students and alumni can sign onto a letter calling on your school’s dean to take action against these contracts. You can sign here. We demand that our schools end their ongoing complicity in detentions and deportations. #EndtheContract (5/6)

[Bar None @BarNoneLaw]

Protect immigrant communities. @LexisNexis is fueling detentions & deportations by selling our personal data to ICE. Sign on to demand that your law school’s dean end your school’s complicity and condemn how LexisNexis is profiting off of immigrant lives: https://t.co/NmCbOROP7v

🚨CHICAGO – EMERGENCY PROTEST🚨
Prepare to mobilize this week as Chicago will be holding a protest to voice our support for our siblings back home. Bus information from suburbs locations will come out shortly. Keep spreading awareness and share this post!

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in challenges to the Biden administration's student debt relief plan.

Advocates rallied for debt cancellation outside, proclaiming that, in the words of @EleniSchirmer of @StrikeDebt, student debt is an "absolute policy failure."

A previous dean at my law school is alleged to have said "You fu*king Middle Easterners are untrustworthy" to a Sikh Indian student in a meeting. UIUC continues to exhibit such racism and its shoved all under the rug - it makes me sick.

[Clarence Hill Jr @clarencehilljr]

LeBron James questions why the media asked him about Kyrie Irving sharing a movie controversy but didn't ask his thoughts on the Jerry Jones 1957 photo blocking school integration. H/T @SpectrumSN

[Chicago Teachers Union @CTULocal1]

Only 280 Chicago homes have had lead service lines replaced under city programs the past two years - out of an estimated 390,000 lead lines, the most in any city in the United States. Another sad example of failed City leadership. https://t.co/IgUVd7UTiX
