Private groups work to identify and report #StudentProtesters for possible #deportation

“Now they’re using tools of the state to actually go after people,” said a Columbia graduate student from South Asia who has been active in protests and spoke on condition of anonymity because of concerns about losing her visa. “We suddenly feel like we’re being forced to think about our survival.”

NEW YORK (AP) — "When a protester was caught on video in January at a New York rally against Israel, only her eyes were visible between a mask and headscarf. But days later, photos of her entire face, along with her name and employer, were circulated online.

"'Months of them hiding their faces went down the drain!' a fledgling technology company boasted in a social media post, claiming its #FacialRecognition tool had identified the woman despite the coverings.

"She was anything but a lone target. The same software was also used to review images taken during months of #ProPalestinian marches at U.S. colleges. A #RightWingJewish group said some people identified with the tool were on a list of names it submitted to President Donald #Trump’s administration, urging that they be deported in accordance with his call for the expulsion of foreign students who participated in 'pro-jihadist' protests.

"Other #ProIsrael groups have enlisted help from supporters on campuses, urging them to report foreign students who participated in protests against the war in #Gaza to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency."

'In a court filing, #Trump officials acknowledged that “many” of the #deportees “do not have criminal records in the United States.” Relatives said they had been tagged as gang members based on tattoos representing favorite flowers, the Real Madrid soccer team, and, on one man, an autism acceptance ribbon dedicated to his brother.'

Ummm... #Florida considers easing #ChildLabor laws after pushing out #immigrants

A new law under consideration in the state Legislature would roll back child labor laws to make up for a dwindling labor pool.

By Ja'han Jones, March 27, 2025

Excerpt: "Florida Gov. #RonDeSantis backs the law and has defended the idea of teenagers and college students working these jobs. DeSantis also explicitly linked the effort to the loss of immigrant labor. Speaking about the consequences of state verification laws at an event with border czar #TomHoman, the governor said, 'Yes, we had people that left because of those rules, but you’ve also been able to hire other people. And what’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now?'

"In recent years, several states — many of them led by #Republican governors — have rolled back child labor laws. This map from the Economic Policy Institute illustrates the spike in states rolling back these laws from 2021 to 2024. Back in 2023, for example, #Arkansas Gov. #SarahHuckabeeSanders signed a bill that made it easier for companies to hire children without getting consent from their parents. One month earlier, The New York Times published a bombshell report about the #exploitation of immigrant children in #factories operated by some of the most well-known companies in the U.S.

"That story should have spurred a nationwide push to strengthen child labor laws. Instead, states like Florida are going in the opposite direction, weakening such laws in part to deal with the fallout from the conservative movement’s demonization of immigrants. They’re essentially using child labor to paper over the gaps left by their draconian immigration policies.

"#Project2025, the far-right playbook for Trump’s second term, specifically calls for rolling back 'hazard' regulations around child labor. The text claims, 'Some young adults show an interest in inherently dangerous jobs' and argues that 'with parental consent and proper training, certain young adults should be allowed to learn and work in more dangerous occupations.'

"Even as child labor laws are being rolled back, the Trump administration is working to gut #SocialServices, including funds that help provide #SchoolLunches to children and programs, like the supplemental nutrition assistance program [#SNAP], that help feed poor families. And if those cuts stay in place, they may leave American families with few alternatives to sending their children to work to keep food on the table."

Last month, I was surprised to receive an "ICE Raid Action Plan" from the Assoc of General Contractors of America. Now they are offering a webinar titled, "Be Ready When ICE Arrives at the Jobsite".

AND there's another one called, "Culture of CARE Forum: Navigating New DEI Liability & Preserving Inclusion Culture in 2025".

JIC you needed further evidence that the current Republican platform is not aligned w/ the interests of business & industry.

Anonymous, the decentralized collective of hacktivists known for exposing corruption and fighting for freedom, has issued a grave warning about the current state of the United States. This is no longer about distant fears—it’s happening now.

The message outlines a deliberate #economic strategy aimed at dismantling the lower class. Every rise in the cost of food, technology, and essential goods is not just inflation—it’s a calculated move to push struggling Americans deeper into poverty, leaving them with an impossible choice: submission or destitution.

At the same time, ICE raids are being used as tools of control, reigniting racial divisions and targeting working-class communities. Businesses crumble as families are torn apart, further solidifying an economic landscape where only the wealthy elite thrive. This is more than just policy—it’s an engineered crisis designed to reshape society into one that serves the interests of the few at the expense of the many.

But the dangers don’t stop there. The rise of fascist ideology is creeping into the mainstream. Once whispered in the shadows, extremist beliefs are now being openly embraced. Anonymous calls attention to Elon Musk’s recent controversial gesture—recognized worldwide as a Nazi salute—not as an accident, but as a message, a challenge, and a warning.

Trump’s chaotic purging of government officials, his reckless restructuring of key institutions, and his dismantling of critical infrastructure have left behind vulnerabilities. Every rushed decision, every gap in leadership, and every hastily implemented system creates cracks in the foundation, cracks that will be breached.

Unless the people rise now, the cost of resistance in the future will be far greater. This is the final warning. Once power is fully consolidated, your options will vanish.
