Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

‘Ticking time bomb’: ICE detainee dies in transit as experts say more deaths likely (www.theguardian.com)

Guardian reporting reveals confusing and contradictory events surrounding death of Abelardo Avellaneda Delgado

A 68-year-old Mexican-born man has become the first Ice detainee in at least a decade to die while being transported from a local jail to a federal detention center, and experts have warned there will likely be more such deaths amid the current administration’s “mass deportation” push across the US.

Abelardo Avellaneda Delgado’s exact cause of death remains under investigation, according to Ice, but the Guardian’s reporting reveals a confusing and at times contradictory series of events surrounding the incident.

The death occurred as private companies with little to no oversight are increasingly tasked with transporting more immigration detainees across the US, in pursuit of the Trump administration’s recently-announced target of arresting 3,000 people a day.

Guardian claims this is the first death while transporting from jail to federal detention. It does not mention that 10 have already died in this year alone, more than any other year and we're only half way in.

Know your rights:

Remain calm
Do not speak. "I choose to remain silent. I wish to speak to a lawyer."
Do not open you door. Demand to see a signed judicial warrant, not an ICE administrative warrant.
Do not sign anything. It might an agreement to deportation. Only sign anything with assistance from a lawyer.
Always carry documentation. Prepare guardianship authorization. Notify emergency contacts.
Record interactions if safe. Do not physically resist if entry is forced, "I do not consent to your entry." Do not interfere with an arrest.
Notify local rapid response network.

Do not physically resist if entry is forced, “I do not consent to your entry.”

If someone in a mask tries to break into my house you're damn sure I'm gonna resist.

Do not interfere with an arrest.

These aren't arrests. They're kidnappings. Arrests are done by law enforcement displaying badges and names. Kidnappings are done by thugs in dark clothing wearing masks.

Fuck ICE.
