Political and cultural geography: police power, (in)security, displacement, affect, infrastructure, surveillance, borders.

One thing some Democrats I’ve talked to miss is that when they call for all the ICE agents in Minneapolis to have body cameras record everyone they interact with it undermines the demand that the agents leave.

@cityoftucson The National Guard flies out of Tucson Intl Airport every day in partnership with the Border Patrol. Here's the flight path of a Guard helicopter that participated in a Border Patrol operation in midtown Tucson this past June.

Review and share Interrupting Criminalization's new "Mini Toolkit for Interrupting the Abduction, Detention, and Deportation Machine."

We can beat ICE––and a huge proportion of that work consists of small everyday actions that each of us can take.

Trump's people at DHS are referencing here "Which Way, Western Man," a book by white supremacist William Gayley Simpson that was published by an American Neo-Nazi organization, the National Alliance.

In the book, Simpson argued that Hitler was right and Jews must be killed.

@guardian @JMBooyah If you're printing lies, but won't call them lies, then you are spreading lies.

Not sure LAPD knew they were being watched here……

Emphasizing again that to build the mass deportation machine you must first build the police state.

We unpack what Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case means for Americans and the future of democracy. Plus, exclusive reporting about a Venezuelan man —with no criminal record— likely deported over his tattoos.

[Amanda Hu @amandalhu]

Just going to continue emphasizing that this, detaining a bunch of people who haven’t been convicted of a crime and incarcerating them en masse in a fortified location against their will because they are part of a specific ethnicity or other group, is a concentration camp

A new @LatinoUSA is out 🎧

Surveillance technology is central to border enforcement—including surveillance towers.

@ReynaldoLeanos visited southern AZ, where the first towers were installed, and spoke to locals who resisted them.

The scope of fraud committed by for-profit insurance companies to deny coverage is breathtaking—likely dwarfing all recorded property crime combined—and yet “law enforcement” officials choose not to investigate or prosecute it with the tools of criminal law.

[Laura Palmer Raids @Marxicology]

The coverage of Jordan Neely’s murder and the killing of the United healthcare CEO is a prime example of how poverty is used to dehumanize people, while wealth is understood as something that confers humanity upon you.

"..cop city does not attempt to eradicate or even comprehend underlying causes of crime, political unrest, or other social harms. Its presupposition is that social conflict cannot be eliminated; its fantasy is that it can be managed, however, by rapid tactical police deployment."

[Stuart Schrader @stschrader1]

Thrilled to share my new article “Cop Cities Mock Cities,” published today in @LAReviewofBooks. I examine history of the mock-urban tactical training facility, while also explaining what it tells us about the contemporary political economy of cities. https://t.co/RKbjhNXa7z

ICE has run for years a secretive program in which agents have trained hundreds of civilians on how to operate multiple types of firearms, conduct investigations and surveillance of immigrants, and use lethal force on human beings @theCCR @ImmDefense  https://t.co/KtQsN6VzNW
