Man fights deportation after 40 years in U.S.

Oct 9, 2025CaliforniaMexico

DeportationLPR/Greencard Holder

Mission Local is following Miguel Lopez’s case — an example of an undocumented man who has lived the majority of his life in the United States but must now reckon with life in a country he barely knows. ⁠A court case on Tuesday revealed a possible path for Miguel to return to Livermore and his wife and three children and granddaughter. ⁠His deportation order was based on the Department of Homeland Security’s decision in 2014 to revoke his green card — an order he has continued to contest: His attorney argues that the 2014 decision violated his due process rights to review the decision. ⁠If granted, lawyers can begin presenting arguments about whether Lopez will receive a review of that 2014 decision to uphold the revocation of his green card. ⁠ Read more from Annika Hom and Sage Ríos Mace at the link in bio.

ICE smash car window & drag 2 sisters out—in front of elementary school at pick up time. 13 masked agents surround car—while children yelled "It's ICE!" running away in fear. "My name is Jocelyn, I'm from Cicero," she cries. "They forced us out of the car, they followed us... they don't have a warrant." Both Jocelyn and her sister, who was driving the car, are DACA recipients—and were eventually released after they were finally allowed to prove their legal status. A teacher exiting an Uber at the time started to take this video when she heard the children screaming. The incident occurred at West Loop Elementary School in Chicago, Illinois.

ICE feels safe enough to continue to terrorize and now murder our communities. This is unacceptable. This happened in Chicago same place where ICE detained US CITIZENS. Who zip tied CHILDREN! Who terrorized a Black neighborhood just CAUSE THEY CAN! They are seeing the horrors they are excused from so they go do some mores. This is a FACIST state. They been doing this and continue to do it and no in broad day light for people to see and even nights so people can’t. They are seeing just how much more they can get away with until they have to use more force on us all. People ask what is a solution and I can’t even write what I wanna say! Cuz the solution is clear. We gotta remind the people the really enemy is not ur neighbor it is the people who protect these systems that are only for the 1%. The 1% need to get got by all means necessary. Their systems thrive cuz we let it. And this is why FTP and fuck you if u a pig got a loved one who a pig and don’t remind them that they work for a system that was slave patrol. That is meant to keep us guarded and watched at all times when the real criminals are those who sign their checks. The way if all pigs saw the common enemy and used their new skills to benefit the communities we would fucking. Thrive but pigs be hungry for money and will discredit their humanity for it. We see how they target our own people to police us. Wake up. Bruh. Wake up. Silverio Villegas González

Arizona airport central to deportation flights

Oct 8, 2025Mesa Az

DeportationThird Country Deportation

The Trump administration has been sending immigrants to African nations like Ghana as part of their deportation operations, often with those aboard not even being from the continent — and Arizona is at the heart of that operation. A 16-seater jet that routinely flies from the Mesa Gateway Airport and flew 20 deportation flights in 2024 is already on track to surpass that number this year — with the majority of its flights to Africa happening in the past month, as the Trump administration has shifted its deportation strategy in response to court rulings limiting expediting deportations to Latin America. Arizona, and specifically Mesa Gateway Airport, plays a crucial role in ICE’s ramping up aerial deportation efforts. The airport hosts the agency’s headquarters for its “ICE Air” operations, which uses subcontractors and subleases to disguise deportation aircraft. And those aircraft are very well disguised.

Jamaican man deported to wrong country

Oct 6, 2025Jamaica

DeportationThird Country Deportation

A 62-year-old Jamaican man who was deported by the U.S. to a country he’d never been to has been allowed to return to home. Orville Etoria, a Jamaican national with legal status in the United States, was one of five men the U.S. deported to the tiny kingdom of Eswatini in southern Africa this summer. He was held in a maximum-security prison there for two months with no charges and no access to lawyers. Etoria had not committed any crimes to warrant his deportation but he previously served time in prison for a 1996 murder conviction in New York. While incarcerated he earned a bachelor’s degree, completed parole, and began working at a men’s shelter while pursuing a masters degree. Despite staying out of trouble for years, ICE detained and deported him without explanation or contact with his attorneys, according to AP and the New York Times. The Trump administration deported him as part of their “third-country” deportation program, which was allowed by the Supreme Court. This program gives the U.S. authority to deport immigrants to other nations if their home countries “refused to take them back.” But Jamaica was willing to receive Orville Etoria! Last week, Eswatini officials sent Orville Etoria home to Jamaica where he holds a valid passport. He has reunited with his family.

Alderwoman handcuffed confronting agents at hospital

Oct 4, 2025Chicago Illinois

Officer Use of Force

Federal agents handcuffed Humboldt Park-area Ald. Jessie Fuentes (26th) as she confronted them Friday at Humboldt Park Hospital. Agents handcuffed Fuentes, forced her out of the hospital and threatened her with arrest, Fuentes told a Block Club reporter. “It shows just how much this is escalating,” Fuentes told Block Club. “They don’t care about people’s constitutional rights. They can handcuff an elected official for doing absolutely nothing — just imagine what they’re doing to the residents in the city of Chicago, whether they are documented or not. These federal agents don’t give a damn.”A video of the Friday afternoon incident shows Fuentes at the hospital, asking federal agents if they had a signed warrant and telling the agents a man — who they had arrested — has constitutional rights. Fuentes is not seen touching the agents, one of whom tells her he will arrest her if she does not leave.Fuentes again asks the agents if they have a warrant, and an agent grabs Fuentes, spins her around and handcuffs her hands.“This is an alderperson who is being under arrest,” a person off-screen says in the video.“This is a hospital. Do you have a signed judicial warrant for him?” Fuentes says to the agents“We told you to leave,” says the agent who handcuffed Fuentes. “Now you are under arrest for impeding.”Fuentes was led outside the hospital and released. She was told that if she went back inside, she would be arrested, witnesses said.“Chicago’s elected officials have a First Amendment right to document ICE’s actions and to inform their constituents of their rights without federal interference,” Mayor Brandon Johnson said in a statement upon hearing of the incident.Any attempt to block this work is a direct attack on democratic accountability and an assault on the rights of the people of Chicago.”The agents were at the hospital because a person they’d been chasing fell and was injured, Fuentes said. They brought the person to the hospital; when Fuentes heard about what happened, she went there.✍️ Full story by @arielparrella_writes at blockclubchicago.org

Seven arrested in Madison home raid

Oct 3, 2025Madison Wisconsin

Disappearance/Detention

Seven people were reportedly arrested by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at a home in northeast Madison Thursday morning, according to Latino advocacy group Voces de La Frontera. The organization would not provide information to the Cap Times about where those detained were taken and said the arrests were called in to Voces de La Frontera’s emergency hotline. the group’s statewide organizing director, Luis Velasquez, told the Cap Times his organization is working with the families of the people who were detained to gather more information.“We receive over 100 calls sometimes daily. We do not publish anything that has not been vetted,” Velasquez said Thursday. “We were able to vet it out and talk to family members directly affected by the situation.” The Madison Police Department initially declined to comment on the reported arrests on Thursday. Instead, Officer Anthony Vogel directed the Cap Times to request information on the case from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which also did not respond to multiple requests for information. On Friday, Madison Police Department spokesperson Korrie Rondorf told the Cap Times that the department was not made aware of the presence of ICE officers in Madison until after the operation took place and “after they were already gone from our community.” “We were made aware of their possible presence by trusted community partners, and we were later able to confirm it by contacting federal partners,” Rondorf wrote in a Friday email to the Cap Times.

Massage worker with cancer detained, seeks help

Detention ConditionsDisappearance/Detention

Please Help a Massage Worker with Cancer Who Is Detained by ICE My name is Y. I am 50 years old and came to the United States in 2023 to work in the massage industry. In China, I lost my only property due to my family's bankruptcy, leaving me homeless. Then, I was arrested by the police for petitioning and detained for several days. After these successive blows in my face, my health collapsed, and I was diagnosed with cancer. Overwhelmed by grief and anger, I left China. After arriving in the U.S., I encountered a fake lawyer who swindled my money and stole my identity to apply for numerous services without my knowledge. I receive dozens of verification texts daily. Though I was released from immigration detention on medical parole due to my cancer, my immigration relief was denied, and ICE placed me in expedited removal proceedings. I have no family nearby, feeling utterly isolated and helpless—until RCS helped me find a new attorney who kindly agreed to represent me pro bono. A while ago, after an immigration interview, I was detained by ICE and sent back to prison. I've now been incarcerated for two weeks. Life in prison is harsh—phone calls are expensive, and the money my friend gathered has run out. ICE agents have come three times to get me to sign papers, but I refuse to sign because I don't want to be deported. Without my medication, my health is deteriorating rapidly. Please help me survive in prison until my friends and lawyer secure my release on bail. I wish to return to New York and keep living with my friends.

Commander says arrests based on appearance

Oct 1, 2025Chicago Illinois

Officer Misconduct

Gregory Bovino, commander at large of the border force, led dozens of agents on a patrol in which they made immigration arrests. Bovino told WBEZ reporter Chip Mitchell the agents were choosing people to arrest based partly on “how they look.” He contrasted the arrestees with Mitchell, who is white and middle-aged. Bovino brought his “Operation At Large” deportation campaign from California to Illinois in September. He made the comments about three weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court said federal agents in the California case could continue stopping people based on factors including ethnicity and language. The court’s majority did not explain itself. Bovino later said WBEZ and the Sun-Times had taken his comments out of context. He called the report “grossly inaccurate.”

Disappearance/DetentionMinor/family

Three members of an Albany Park family detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents Sunday in Millennium Park are now being held at O’Hare Airport, according to neighbors. Federal agents stopped Noemi Chavez; her husband, Jaime Ramirez; their 8-year-old daughter, Dasha Ramirez; and their 3-year-old son and took them away in a white van during a family outing Sunday at the park. Witnesses saw Dasha Ramirez crying and clutching a doll during the arrests. The incident was caught on video and shared widely on social media. Chavez told the Tribune the family made the outing because Dasha “really wanted to visit Millennium Park.” Dasha and her little brother were playing in the water at the Crown Fountain when federal agents approached their parents, according to the Tribune. Albany Park resident Lauren Rappold said she saw the photos and videos of the family being detained and recognized them immediately. Her son attends Grover Cleveland Elementary School and is in the same third-grade class as Dasha. Rappold shared the information in a Cleveland Elementary moms group and spoke with a neighbor who had been able to get in contact with Chavez via WhatsApp. The neighbor, who asked not to be identified, told Rappold that Chavez and her two children had been taken to O’Hare’s immigration customs enforcement area at Terminal 5. Chavez told the Tribune that federal officers declined to show her a warrant during the arrest. Border Protection did not respond to a request for comment. Rappold brought a bag with fresh clothes, diapers and medicine to O’Hare on Monday morning. Chavez confirmed she got the bag over WhatsApp and said she was told she will be kept at O’Hare until there are enough people to fill a plane to send to a detention center in Texas, Rappold said. ✍️ Full story by @Writtenbymollyd in our link in bio.📸 Provided

Ante el mutismo oficial, la definición de “desaparición forzada” se asoma como la única apta para describir lo sucedido. Así es como Naciones Unidas define ese término: “Cualquier privación de libertad que sea obra de agentes del Estado o por personas o grupos de personas que actúan con la autorización, el apoyo o la aquiescencia del Estado, seguida de la negativa a reconocer dicha privación de libertad o del ocultamiento de la suerte o el paradero de la persona desaparecida”.

AG memo labels protests as political violence

Sep 29, 2025

Protest/Intervention

On September 29, 2025, Attorney General Pamela Bondi issued a Department of Justice memorandum telling the FBI, DEA, ATF, and Marshals that protests against ICE are now “political violence.” Translation: Protecting ICE matters more than protecting people.This memo is part of a bigger pattern. First, the Capital Research report painted nonprofits as “radicals.” Then the Antifa Designation EO labeled activists “terrorists.” This was followed by the NSPM-7, which turned protest into “domestic terrorism.” And now Bondi’s memo orders federal cops to defend ICE and crack down on protesters. They’re not just criminalizing dissent, they’re trying to make it the official policy. For legal reasons, this is a joke, but I guess this carousel probably makes me a “terrorist.”

Woman detained after green card appointment

Disappearance/DetentionLPR/Greencard Holder

In April | married the love of my life, Barbara Marques. Right now I fear for her life. A week and a half ago she was taken by ICE at our properly scheduled green card meeting at the Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles. At the end of what we were told was a successful meeting, the officer used the excuse of a broken copier to trick her into walking away from our lawyer. Once separated from her legal counsel, she was arrested. The reason for her detention was a missed court date from 2019 which my wife was never notified about. We have been working with lawyers since that time to correct the situation. The Adelanto detention center has actively been keeping my wife from correspondence with her lawyer by delaying in giving her documents that were mailed to the facility. Last night, she was taken from the Adelanto facility to an undisclosed destination despite our lawyer having filed a temporary restraining order to stop this from happening. They could be sending her anywhere in the world and we have no way of knowing. I’m asking for help in bringing to the attention of media and authorities these multiple lapses in due process and proper procedure through the unwarranted deportation of a woman whose legal marriage has been duly recognized as legitimate by immigration through the 1130 petition process.

Agents raid GW-owned restaurant

Raid

EWS | Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided a Foggy Bottom restaurant in a GW-owned building Wednesday afternoon, detaining and questioning several people, the University confirmed Friday. Officials said in a Federal Updates email Friday that agents detained “a number of individuals” from Circa, located across the street from the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro stop, but did not specify how many and said they have no information suggesting any are affiliated with GW. Friday’s announcement followed a Thursday post by the Immigrant Liberation Coalition at GW, which alleged that ICE pulled between six and 15 people from the restaurant during the raid, detaining some and checking immigration papers of others. York Van Nixon IV, Circa at Foggy Bottom’s senior general manager, declined to comment on the raid or answer questions about the incident and the number of employees ICE detained. A spokesperson from Circa Bistros, which operates Circa at Foggy Bottom, did not immediately return a request for comment on the raid. A University spokesperson declined to comment on when the University learned of the raid, why officials did not issue a GW Alert and whether ICE contacted GW — which owns the building Circa operates in — ahead of the raid.

ICE has once again been caught on camera violently kidnapping people in the halls of immigration court. There have been too many scenes like this. Mothers, fathers, laborers, students and community members have been ripped off the streets by masked “agents” who refuse to identify themselves. Photos @steffikeith
