Reading calls to “stop ICE-style policies from coming to Europe” always feels surreal to me, because Europe has never been separate from that kind of violence. Fortress Europe already exists: migrants are locked inside detention centres, abandoned to die at sea, deported to countries they barely know, and subjected to constant surveillance, humiliation, and terror. African migrants in particular are often targeted through racist policing and far-right violence, attacked in the streets, harassed in their homes, and sometimes killed simply because of the colour of their skin. The European Union continues to market itself as a global symbol of liberal democracy and human rights, yet its border regime is already built on militarisation, exclusion, and racial brutality. Europe does not need petitions warning against imported American violence; it needs people willing to confront and organise against the violence that has long been embedded within Europe itself.

This Spanish politician called colonization a “five-century-long story of love” while visiting Mexico. Here’s what you should know about the era Isabel Díaz Ayuso is lionizing, when more than 90% of the Indigenous population was killed by colonial violence.

This is an extremely clear violation of international and domestic law; someone who has won protection from deportation to their own country on account of persecution cannot just be deported to that country by “chain.“

My final story for The Washington Post is about the first third country deportation flight from the U.S. to Ghana. I spoke to two people who were on that Sept. 5-6 flight, including a woman from Togo who fled the country in 2024 to escape FGM. wapo.st/4dvSWHn

The judge wanted to grant asylum, but bc of Biden’s “third-country” ban could grant only limited protection to stop the woman’s deportation to Togo So Trump sent her to Ghana instead - whose armed forces sent her back to the country she fled TW:Rape, FGM washingtonpost.com/world/2026/05/…

The New York Times shows the damning evidence that ICE is offloading its racial profiling onto local cops, as we predicted. Abhorrent behavior. A conspiracy against our rights.

Kevin González is only 18. He is suffering from stage 4 colon cancer and has days to live. He’s desperate to spend his last moments with his parents, but ICE detained his mom and dad after they tried to seek humanitarian asylum. This is the total cruelty of Trump’s mass deportation machine. I'm asking for Kevin’s parents to be released immediately so that they can be with their son. nbcchicago.com/news/local/chi…
