Meine Schadenersatzforderung wegen der rechtswidrigen Ausweiskopie durch die Bundespolizei vor dem Landgericht #Dresden geht weiter! Die Bundespolizei hat gegen das Gesetz verstoßen. Ich kämpfe weiter für mein Recht. Dank der ersten Unterstützung ist die Hälfte der Kosten gedeckt, damit ein Anwalt noch vor Mitte Mai eine Klageschrift einreichen kann! Die Pinnwand ist offen, abonnieren geht, die Sache unterstützen kann man bald!

Abgesehen davon wird die Statistik schon allein durch #racialprofiling verfälscht.

Aber hey, wenn Fritze sagt, #Migration ist unser größtes Problem, weil das einfach so viel einfacher ist als #taxtherich & was gegen die #klimakatastrophe zu unternehmen, dann hat er ganz bestimmt ganz sicher vielleicht Recht, wenn er nicht grad wegen was anderem lügt.

A new #TravelBan by #Trump could bar people from #Afghanistan & #Pakistan from entering the US as soon as next week based on a government review of countries' security & vetting risks, three sources familiar with the matter said.

The #Trump admin is considering deputizing state & local law enforcement to arrest *suspected* #undocumented #immigrants at traffic stops & other locations, resurrecting a program that the Obama admin terminated amid allegations that it led to #RacialProfiling.

Russell Hott, a top official at #ICE, told the nation’s sheriffs’ association at a conference last weekend that the new admin is examining ways to restart the program, called the “task force model.”

#NativeAmerican tribes say #ICE harassing members amid raids

by Erin Alberty,
Russell Contreras, January 28, 2025

"Some Native American tribes say tribal members are being harassed by federal immigration agents, while others fear they could be wrongly caught up in immigration raids.

Why it matters: The angst among some #Indigenous tribes reflects the confusion and fear even among legal citizens during the #Trump administration's immigration raids.

The big picture: Several tribes have issued warnings and advice to their members based on what they say have been encounters in which U.S. immigration agents have demanded proof of citizenship — episodes that the tribes have linked to #RacialProfiling.

The alarm comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says its agents are arresting more than 1,000 undocumented immigrants a day, part of President Trump's push to deport "millions" of people not authorized to stay in the U.S.

Immigration raids in cities such as Chicago and Los Angeles — and Trump's new directives to allow searches in schools and churches in addition to workplaces and homes — have heightened concerns in communities across the country.

Zoom in: The #NavajoNation, one of the nation's largest tribes, said federal immigration agents have been questioning its members.

"My office has received multiple reports from Navajo citizens that they have had negative, and sometimes traumatizing, experiences with federal agents targeting undocumented immigrants," Navajo President #BuuNygren said in a statement.

Navajo Nation officials told CNN on Monday that at least 15 Indigenous people in the southwestern U.S. have reported being questioned or detained by immigration officers in the past week.

The 17.5 million-acre Navajo Nation is in northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, and southeastern Utah. It's larger than 10 states.

ICE offices in Utah and Washington, D.C., did not immediately respond to Axios' requests for comment.

Zoom out: The #MescaleroApache Tribe in New Mexico announced that a member was confronted by ICE agents last week and was asked for ID — first in Spanish, although the member spoke English.

The #SissetonWahpetonOyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation in South Dakota said it was temporarily waiving all fees for issuing or replacing tribal IDs amid members' concerns about ICE encounters.
#Ute Indian Tribe Business Committee — the tribe's governing body — promised in a statement Saturday to "aggressively defend our rights and interests."
The tribe offered legal counsel to members who are "improperly detained or questioned," as did the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah.

The San Juan Southern #Paiute Tribe, whose land crosses the Utah-Arizona border, advised its citizens to record encounters with ICE, ask for agents' badges and keep their doors closed and ask for a warrant if approached at home.

What they're saying: Trump's immigration executive orders have "raised concern among our tribal members, particularly regarding the potential targeting of our community by immigration agents," #ChippewaCree Tribe chairman Harat BaRete said in a statement.

The north-central Montana tribe then released a set of guidelines urging members to remain silent, keep ID handy and report encounters to tribal officials.
"The #RosebudSioux Tribe is in the process of assessing the legal effects of the unlawful and unconstitutional Trump administration Executive Orders and will fiercely defend against any threat to the sovereignty," the South Dakota tribe said in a statement.

Between the lines: It's not unusual for ICE or DEA agents to enter tribal lands for immigration or drug enforcement.

Since the Obama administration, U.S. agents have aggressively targeted human smuggling rings that use isolated Indigenous lands to try to move undetected.

Congress didn't grant citizenship to Native Americans until 1924 — a development President Trump's lawyers cited in their attempt to justify his temporarily blocked executive order to overturn birthright citizenship.

The administration's attorneys last week invoked an 1884 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that denied citizenship to members of tribes to argue that "birth in the United States does not by itself entitle a person to citizenship."

Some tribal leaders saw the argument as a threat against their members' U.S. citizenship."

Pflegefachkraft Clifford O, der 2016 als Geflüchteter aus #Nigeria kam, geriet im Oktober 2023 in eine Verkehrskontrolle, die damit endete, dass er gefesselt auf dem Boden lag, mit einer 10 cm langen blutigen Schramme im Gesicht. Er zeigte die Polizist*innen an. Wie üblich in solchen Fällen folgte die Gegenanzeige. Heute wurde Clifford O. am Amtsgericht #Mannheim vom Vorwurf des Widerstands gegen Vollstreckungsbeamte freigesprochen. Die Videoüberwachung entkräftete die Zeugenaussagen der #Polizei. Auch die Staatsanwaltschaft hatte einen Freispruch gefordert, weil die Diensthandlung nicht rechtmäßig gewesen sei. #RacialProfiling #Polizeigewalt #Polizeiproblem rdl.de/Opfer_von_Polizeigewalt

#KleeBenally, Navajo advocate for #IndigenousPeople and #environmental causes, dies in Phoenix

Klee Benally was among the most vocal opponents of snowmaking at #ArizonaSnowbowl ski resort in #Flagstaff.

AP, January 1, 2024

PHOENIX — "Klee Benally, a Navajo man who advocated on behalf of Indigenous people and environmental causes, has died, his sister said. He was 48 years old.

"Benally died Saturday at a Phoenix hospital, Jeneda Benally said. His cause of death was not disclosed.

"Klee Benally was among the most vocal opponents of snowmaking at Arizona Snowbowl ski resort in Flagstaff. At least 13 tribes consider the mountain on public land to be sacred.

"He protested #PoliceViolence and #RacialProfiling and was among activists who gathered outside metro Phoenix’s NFL stadium in 2014 to denounce the offensive team name previously used by the franchise from Washington, D.C.

"Benally advocated for the cleanup of abandoned #mines, where #uranium ore was extracted from the Navajo Nation over decades to support U.S. #nuclear activities during the #ColdWar.

"He also spoke out against an ordinance that, in a bid to address the problem of #homelessness, had banned camping on public property in Flagstaff.

"'There is no compassionate way to enforce the #AntiCamping ordinance,' Benally said in 2018 when officials declined to alter the 2005 ordinance. 'Life is already hard enough for our unsheltered relatives on the streets.'

"Benally was also a guitarist, and played with his sister and brother in the Native American punk rock band #Blackfire."

#RCMP issued an #apology on September 7, 2024, for the historic use of #StreetChecks and other harmful interactions with members of the #African #NovaScotian community. It was an apology too long in coming, for treatment that was, in the words of Rev. Lennett Anderson, “dehumanizing and tragic.” And the RCMP's history suggests we should be deeply skeptical that the proposed action plan will be even close to what is required to remedy these grave injustices.

In his 2019 report, written for the #NovaScotia #HumanRights Commission, Dr. Scot Wortley defines street checks as any occasion in which civilians are stopped by #police and subjected to intrusive questions, and their personal information collected into a database. He confirmed what community members have known for years: people of African descent in the #Halifax region are almost six times more likely to face street checks.

It took five years after the release of this report for the RCMP to apologize for the harms caused. They also committed to an action plan, developed in consultation with members of 13 African Nova Scotian communities and the Association of #Black #SocialWorkers.

do you mind that you've been hassled and abused and have to take time out of your workday to prove something to #racist karens calling the cops on you?

#Quebec’s #CourtOfAppeal has upheld a landmark 2022 decision that found a law permitting random traffic stops by police led to #RacialProfiling.

The province’s high court agreed with a #SuperiorCourt ruling that declared inoperative an article of the province’s #HighwaySafetyCode that allows #police to randomly stop drivers without a reasonable suspicion that an offence has been committed.

What’s behind #Germany’s raging #Islamophobia?
aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/9/
"The historical parallel here is hard to miss: far-right forces are rising, as a racist hysteria targeting one racialised group of people spreads through the German state and society. History may not repeat itself fully. Mass extermination may be replaced by mass expulsion as the far-right concept of “remigration” is quickly gaining ground; it has long left the far-right fringe to become increasingly more mainstream."
