#US federal agents arrested the niece and grand niece of Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani
Just saw this in the #NewYorkTimes

It's interesting that the article doesn't mention that the US assassinated #QassimSuleimani with a drone strike in Baghdad, Iraq in 2020.

The Department of Homeland Security (#DHS) is expanding its efforts to identify Americans who oppose #ICE by sending tech companies legal requests for the names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize the agency.

In recent months, #Google, #Reddit, #Discord and #Meta, which owns #Facebook and #Instagram, have received hundreds of administrative subpoenas from the DHS, according to four government officials and tech employees privy to the requests.

"#ColumbiaUniversity asked the New York police department to help clear pro-Palestinian activists after dozens of protesters occupied parts of the main campus library on Wednesday."

"In a statement posted on X, protesters confirmed that they had refused to show their IDs and that some had sustained injuries in the skirmish with the public safety officers.

“We will not be useless intellectuals,” protesters said in a statement. “#Palestine is our compass, and we stand strong in the face of violent oppression.”"

"Come for one, face us all."

from #TheWire
[online publication of #JewishVoiceForPeace #JVP in #USA]

"Desperate to crush popular and growing opposition to #Israel’s genocide, the #Trump regime is shredding our First Amendment rights.

But we’re not backing down. Shortly after Mohsen was arrested, over a thousand Jews and allies gathered for an emergency Passover seder outside ICE headquarters in NYC to demand his and other student activists’ release.

Our message is clear: “Come for one, face us all.”"
