ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent.
There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's @JRogalskiKHOU found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off.
Renee Good all over again.
@academic_la Coincidentally an Iranian American friend told me today that Israel and Trump sought a Venezuela like “coup” in order to take control the government and its oil. Fascinating.
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
@academic_la Add to this support for Israel seems to be declining in the US, especially amongst young people. It’s conceivable the notion that Netanyahu convinced Trump to launch the recent war will dramatically increase support for the movement to curtail aid (especially military) to Israel
You can't negotiate with AIPAC — but you can expose them. Do it every single day with transparency and trust in your voters. That's how we won.

Yesterday, about 30 minutes after being violently arrested again at an anti-war protest in Tel Aviv, while six of us were already in the police van, an officer climbed in. He grabbed me by my hair, beat me, and choked me.
Nothing new here. I’m fine, of course - this is just how it is.
This is the face of the Israeli Apartheid regime.
Israel never was a democracy, and it will never be one.
Apartheid, of course, is not legitimate. Don't normalize it.
Shut it down.
I'm very proud of my comrades. I love you all and I'm proud to get beaten up with you 🫶

CNN’s Jeremy Diamond joins Jake Tapper to discuss what happened when Israeli troops detained him and his crew while covering violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank.
This is a staggering waste of taxpayer money and yet another disturbing example of the lengths some will go to keep women from having power over their own lives and futures.
Contraceptives are lifechanging, lifesaving tools and one of the best ways to lift people out of poverty the world has ever seen. There are so many women who wanted and needed these supplies. There were organizations willing to buy and distribute them. What happened instead is unjustifiable. https://t.co/1DKNCo9ccy
NEW: CNN photojournalist put in a chokehold by Israeli soldiers before the entire CNN crew was detained in the West Bank.
CNN says the crew was detained for two hours.
The Israeli military has released the following statement to CNN:
“The actions and behavior of the soldiers in the incident are incompatible with what is expected of IDF (Israel Defense Forces) soldiers operating in the Judea and Samaria area.”
They also noted that the incident would be “thoroughly reviewed.”

What happened to @JDiamond1 and his @CNN crew is intolerable. The IDF CoS Eyal Zamir needs to order those responsible detained and questioned immediately.
What’s most troubling is that this didn’t come out of nowhere. Since October 7, we’ve seen a huge uptick in violence in the West Bank, by extremists often under the cover of soldiers like this one wearing “Messiah” tags on his uniform and helmet - a clear sign of the dangerous currents that have seeped into the ranks.
These army tags are just one symptom. The bigger problem is that the government has given this trend cover - and the result has been a rise in Jewish terror, the topic of my column this weekend in the @Jerusalem_Post.

All in one day: Settler terrorists shot and killed a Palestinian man and attacked and wounded several others across the West Bank. Meanwhile, multiple illegal outposts were established overnight.
When violent extremists act with impunity, the responsibility lies with the government that refuses to stop them.
While covering the latest Israeli settler attack in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers assaulted my photojournalist @cyrilthps and detained my team.
But our 2-hour detention revealed a lot about the motives of these Israeli soldiers: acting in service of the settler movement.
