Ice’s ‘inhumane’ arrest of well-known vineyard manager shakes Oregon wine industry

Moises Sotelo

In the early morning hours of 12 June, Moises Sotelo woke up to go to work in the rolling hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley wine country, a place he has called home for decades.

But this morning was not business as usual. A car tailed Sotelo as soon as he left his driveway, according to an account from his co-worker. Trucks surrounded him just outside of St Michael’s Episcopal church, where he was detained by federal immigration agents. By the end of the day, Sotelo was in an Ice detention facility.

“He was in chains at his feet,” Alondra Sotelo-Garcia told a local news outlet about seeing her father arrested. “Shoelaces were taken off, his belt was off, he didn’t have his ring, he didn’t have his watch. Everything was taken from him.”

Supreme Court Deals Another Major Blow To Transgender Rights

John RobertThe Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld Tennessee’s law banning gender-affirming care for minors in a 6-3 ruling. Legal experts fear the ruling could set a tone for how the courts handle transgender rights and sex discrimination cases for years to come.

Chief Justice John Roberts authored the majority opinion while Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. In the ruling, the court held that the Tennessee ban was “not subject to heightened scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause,” allowing the ban to remain in place.

This decision focused solely on Tennessee’s ban, foreclosing most medical care options to transgender youth in the state. It also marks the second blow the Supreme Court has dealt to transgender rights advocates recently, after the highest court allowed President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender service members in the military to take effect in May.

The Trump Administration Is Trying To Roll Back Civil Rights With This Unusual Agency

Dept. of Energy The Trump administration is trying to quickly and quietly roll back certain civil rights protections in schools by exploiting an administrative loophole and pushing the process through an unusual federal agency — the Department of Energy.

The Department of Energy has proposed a rule that would rescind a section of Title IX — the 1972 civil rights law that bars sex discrimination in federally funded school and athletics programs — that requires schools to expand athletic opportunities to the “underrepresented sex.” For decades the rule has allowed girls to try out for some boys sports teams, for example, when there is no equivalent team offered at their school and vice versa.

Dismantling this portion of the law would affect K-12 schools and universities that receive funding from the Energy Department. While the department is not the primary enforcer of Title IX, it does distribute funds to schools for scientific research and has to comply with federal regulations.

Trump directs ICE to expand deportation efforts in Democratic-run cities

ICE to go after blue statesPresident Trump on Sunday night directed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to expand deportation efforts in cities run by Democrats following protests in Los Angeles over his immigration policies.

The president called on ICE “to do all in their power” to help reach the administration’s mass deportation goals while singling out Los Angeles, Chicago and New York for ramped-up enforcement efforts.

White House aide Stephen Miller said last month that the administration’s goals were a minimum of 3,000 ICE arrests a day.

The Chris Hedges Report: The Last Days of Gaza

Chris Hedges; Last days of GazaThis is the end. The final blood-soaked chapter of the genocide. It will be over soon. Weeks. At most. Two million people are camped out amongst the rubble or in the open air. Dozens are killed and wounded daily from Israeli shells, missiles, drones, bombs and bullets. They lack clean water, medicine and food. They have reached a point of collapse. Sick. Injured. Terrified. Humiliated. Abandoned. Destitute. Starving. Hopeless.

In the last pages of this horror story, Israel is sadistically baiting starving Palestinians with promises of food, luring them to the narrow and congested nine-mile ribbon of land that borders Egypt. Israel and its cynically named Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), allegedly funded by Israel’s Ministry of Defense and the Mossad, is weaponizing starvation. It is enticing Palestinians to southern Gaza the way the Nazis enticed starving Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto to board trains to the death camps. The goal is not to feed the Palestinians. No one seriously argues there is enough food or aid hubs. The goal is to cram Palestinians into heavily guarded compounds and deport them.

Feds to continue to detain Columbia protester, alleging lie on green card application

KhalilThe Trump administration said Friday that it will continue to detain Columbia University protester Mahmoud Khalil, after a federal judge ruled that he could not be held based on the U.S. secretary of state’s determination that he could harm American foreign policy.

The government said in a filing that it is instead holding Khalil, a legal U.S. resident, at an immigration lockup on allegations that he lied on his green card application.

They also said Khalil satisfied all of the court’s requirements to go free and that the government’s lawyers missed a Friday morning deadline to challenge the judge's Wednesday ruling ordering Khalil be set free.

“The deadline has come and gone and Mahmoud Khalil must be released immediately,” his lawyers said in a statement provided by the American Civil Liberties Union, which is among the groups representing him. “Anything further is an attempt to prolong his unconstitutional, arbitrary, and cruel detention.”

Israeli Forces Accused Of Threatening And Abusing Detained Flotilla Activists

MadleenActivists who were forcibly detained by Israeli forces while sailing to Gaza with humanitarian aid say they’ve been facing abuse and threats from authorities while held in inhumane conditions — but are pleading for the public to stay focused on Israel’s destructive campaign in the walled-off Palestinian territory.

Israeli naval forces intercepted the Madleen in international waters early Monday and detained all 12 activists on board, including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and European Parliament member Rima Hassan, a French-Palestinian. The civilian boat sailed from Italy with the goal of delivering aid to Gaza and creating a maritime humanitarian corridor for the starving enclave to break Israel’s deadly siege.
