"Twenty-four members of the #Jewish community in #Tehran and #Shiraz remain in #prison as of Sunday after being #arrested along with hundreds of others in a sweeping government crackdown in #Iran that began as fighting ended with #Israel.

The #arrests took in 35 #Jews originally, according to a report put out Saturday by HRANA, the #HumanRights Activist News Agency, an affiliate of the Human Rights in Iran NGO. Mass arrests began early in the morning of June 23, according to the report. Eleven Jews have been released since the original arrests, according to a former senior #Iranian communal leader, who would speak only on condition of anonymity due to concerns for his contacts in Iran."

@dougiec3 The way they used massive force to surrounded him and encircle him by force with their bodies to prevent him from moving or speaking..."they" want every man woman child in America to be fearful, and to submit.

“There will be no safe spaces for industries who harbor *violent criminals* [working folk] or purposely try to undermine ICE’s efforts. Worksite enforcement remains a cornerstone of our efforts to safeguard public safety, national security & economic stability,”Tricia McLaughlin, asst secy for #DHS, said.
#ICE has been under significant pressure from WH ofcls to ramp up #arrests in an effort to fulfill #Trump’s goal of enacting the largest domestic #deportation op in history.

#ICE agents get green light to make unjustified #warrantless #arrests #LA Warrantless arrests are not inherently illegal; however, under the first Trump administration, ICE ramped up their use with. The Castañon-Nava, et al. suit was brought because warrantless arrests were performed on people who in retrospect did not meet ICE’s recommended criteria for one: but at the time, there was no mechanism for accountability.
