A 15-year-old student with special needs walked out of Arleta High School and was met by masked men pointing guns at him.

Key West man falsely arrested for filming

U.S. Citizen

Customs and Border Protection agent falsely arrests Key West man for filming him while detaining Haitian immigrant — both were later released from custodyDan Mathers, of Key West, was held by federal agents for 8 hours on July 21, 2025, falsely accused of “threatening” an unidentified CBP agent — known to locals as “Bruno” — while he was detaining a Haitian man on Eaton Street.“Accusing me of making a threat was a baseless excuse the agent used in his attempt to intimidate and silence a US citizen,” Mathews told independent journalist Gwen Filosa. “I felt it was important to use that moment to point out that this was just a man, to start to dismantle that aura of dread he had been cultivating in Key West. To have someone question that reputation in front of other witnesses, he felt the need to take me down. He was using his position as an enforcer for our government to terrorize its citizens.”Mathers was driven an hour away to a facility in Marathon where he was held from about 4pm to midnight. His wife and friends had no idea where he was until he was allowed to make a phone call around 9:15pm.The Key West Immigrant Support Network @kwimmigrantsupportnetwork said the Haitian man was eventually released and returned to his family.via @gwenfilosamedia gwenfilosa.substack.com

Veteran arrested after protest

Jul 24, 2025Spokane Washington
Protest/InterventionU.S. Citizen

On June 11, a former president of the Spokane City Council sent out an alert over social media. Two men, in the county legally and seeking asylum, had reported for an appearance in immigration court there. They were then detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, commonly known as ICE, at a Department of Homeland Security office in Spokane. The former council member, Ben Stuckart, urged followers to disrupt that enforcement. Among those responding to the call that day was Bajun Mavalwalla II, a Petaluma native and military veteran who had relocated to Washington. The resulting demonstration became confrontational. Protesters blocked an ICE bus as the agency attempted to transport the two detainees to Tacoma for immigration hearings, deflating the vehicle’s tires. Several people were arrested. Mavalwalla was not one of them. But a month later, on July 15, he got a knock at the door of his Spokane home at 6 a.m. Ten FBI agents were on hand to take him into custody.
