For this #caturday, some of the local cats hanging out in and on top of a commercial greenhouse. They're friends with the staff, who occasionally forget the cats are there when they leave at the end of the day, so the owner has to go and let the cats out when they don't show up for meals

Seen through a cluster of branches, the cat Loðmundur climbs on top of a greenhouse roof.

The Oglala Sioux Tribe just announced that ICE abducted and disappeared 4 tribe members from Minneapolis.

#Native #Indigenous #ICE #CBP #Felon47

r/ICE_Watch u/l_may_have_weed The Oglala Sioux Tribe (Native Americans) just announced that ICE abducted and disappeared 4 tribe members from Minneapolis. breaking news FROM THE OFFICE OF OST PRESIDENT FRANK STAR COMES OUT i have been made aware that ICE (Department of Homeland Security) has detained 4 of our tribal members in Minneapolis. Here is what we know at present: The four men are homeless and were living under the bridge near the Little Earth housing project. A bystander (also an Oglala Sioux Tribal member) was able to get the information out of them that they are members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe but did not get names. OST attorneys have been instructed to reach out to Minnesota Lt. Governor Flanagan about where they are being detained and what their names are. Tribal Council and OST Executive Officers have also been informed. The Tribe stands ready to work with her and other officials to provide enrollment documents and otherwise work toward their release.
Further, l am providing the following statement and instructions in case you are ever detained. Statement to Provide if Approached or Detained by ICE I am a citizen of the OGLALA LAKOTA NATION, a federally recognized Tribal Nation. Under the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, all Native people born within the territorial limits of the United States are recognized as U.S. citizens by birthright. Because I am both a Tribal citizen and a U.S. citizen, ICE has no lawful authority to detain me. Any ICE officer who detains or attempts to remove a person they know -or would learn with minimal investigation - to be a U.S. citizen violates that person's constitutional right to liberty and due process. Lyttle v. United States, 867 F. Supp. 2d 1256, 1284 (M.D. Ga. 2012). Our treaties affirm our inherent sovereignty and nation-to-nation relationship with the United States. Treaty obligations remain the supreme law of the land, and they recognize our status as distinct peoples - not subject to immigration enforcement. If detained, do not speak without an attorney present. Please contact the Tribal President or any other OST tribally elected official immediately:

Side note: that 70 death figure is way low since #ICE releases people they expect will die soon to keep the death toll low 🫠

Since January 1, 2017, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reported that 70 people have died in its custody. This number does not include detained people who ICE released immediately prior to their deaths, which ICE has admitted reduces the number of reported deaths, and allows the agency to avoid accountability requirements.

I'm just saying, these people died for us so we could have a tangerine during lockdown. No one came to save them.

And now we're hunting them down like animals. And no one can do shit about it because we gave ICE far too much power and money.

And for what? #AbolishICE. Say it motherfuckers. Say it.

I will not be participating in open source for the foreseeable future. Maybe at some point I'll come back. It's been my hobby for a long time. But it is clearly no longer a community that wants me here, or that has a shape where I would like to participate in.

I'll probably go touch some grass, too. Social media has been a lot.
