"The platform enables operational advantage and proactive deterrence for military, law enforcement, and intelligence agencies by providing a common operating picture (“COP”)", S. 3, 1.2., 2. Absatz.

Nun weiß ich auch, was #Cop heißt. Danach bedeutet #ACAB nun: "All Common Operating Pictures Are Bastards".

#ICE is using no-bid contracts, boosting big firms, to get more detention beds

by HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH and JOHN HANNA

June 16, 2025

LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) — "#Leavenworth, #Kansas, occupies a mythic space in American crime, its name alone evoking a short hand for serving hard time. The federal penitentiary housed gangsters Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly — in a building so storied that it inspired the term 'the big house.'

"Now Kansas’ oldest city could soon be detaining far less famous people, #migrants swept up in President Donald #Trump’s promise of #MassDeportations of those living in the U.S. illegally.

"The federal government has signed a deal with the #PrivatePrison firm #CoreCivic Corp. to reopen a 1,033-bed prison in Leavenworth as part of a surge of contracts U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has issued without seeking competitive bids.

"ICE has cited a 'compelling urgency' for thousands more detention beds, and its efforts have sent profit estimates soaring for politically connected private companies, including CoreCivic, based in the Nashville, Tennessee, area and another giant firm, The #GeoGroup Inc., headquartered in southern Florida."

AP News · ICE using no-bid contracts, boosting big firms, to get more detention bedsNo-bid contracts with politically connected companies have become crucial to the Republican Trump administration’s push for more space to hold immigrants for deportation. Those contracts include one for a now-shuttered private prison in Kansas. An agreement with Tennessee-based private prison firm CoreCivic for reopening a 1,033-bed prison in Leavenworth, Kansas, is part of a surge of contracts issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement without seeking competitive bids first. ICE cites a “compelling urgency” for more detention beds for immigrants in the U.S. illegally. ICE's moves have delighted industry analysts on company earnings calls and promised bigger profits but have also drawn criticism. Skeptical city officials argue CoreCivic needs a special use permit.

#CommunityDefense Groups Take the Last Stand Against #ICE in #LA

Organizers argue that LA’s #sanctuary laws aren’t enough to keep their #immigrant neighbors safe.

By Claudia Villalona, June 21, 2025

"Across #LosAngeles County, ICE’s operations played out differently. When combat-ready federal agents gathered in large numbers at staging areas in Paramount and Compton on June 8, protesters swiftly mobilized collective resistance efforts and emergency patrols. Agents responded to large crowds with #TearGas, #FlashBangs, and so-called 'less-lethal' weapons.

"Organizers maintain that this grassroots mobilization sabotaged enforcement operations, putting agents on the defensive and preventing them from conducting raids for the rest of the day.

"As ICE raids escalated across Los Angeles in early June, sending #protesters into the streets and immigrant communities into hiding, the contrast between how the consequential weekend unfolded in different parts of the city was stark. Divergent outcomes in majority #Latino areas further east with a long history of organizing and those largely disconnected from grassroots support highlighted the crucial role of #CommunityLedDefense in the absence of meaningful government protection.

"Unlike Compton or Paramount, the airport-adjacent Westchester is geographically and socially isolated from more established community organizing networks. And while LA’s sanctuary laws prohibit local #police from working with ICE, organizers argue that the local law enforcement agencies can’t be trusted to keep immigrants safe.

" 'Workers need to know their rights, whether it’s at the workplace or at their home, and they feel empowered to exercise those rights,' said Flor Melendrez, executive director of the labor advocacy group CLEAN #Carwash Worker Center. Car wash workers, street vendors, and day laborers working in high-visibility, outdoor spaces face heightened risk for arrests as 'easy targets' for ICE raids, while often lacking access to critical resources and workplace protections. Organizers said more than 26 car wash workers were arrested across at least six businesses in the set of raids began on June 6."

Well yes. Undercover cops having sexual relationships with female activists who were doing nothing wrong or illegal is indefensible.
These tactics went on for decades, and likely still do
How much did all this cost the taxpayer?
Destroying people's private lives and those of the cops' own families?
The only illegal activities uncovered seem to be those committed by cops themselves-for which they were given permission by higher authorities!

The moment when you learn something cool about a friend that you didn't know before. I was hanging out with a friend before today's Pride Parade and saw that he had a special issue of the "#EarthFirst Journal" on his coffee table. Having been in an EF affiliate group in the northeast, I asked if I could thumb through it. When I got to a certain page, my friend pointed to photograph of some people at an action. "Recognize that nerd?" he asked. "OMGs! That's you!" He then proceeded to tell me what it was like being at the tree sittings in Eugene, Oregon when they were trying to save a forest from being cut down. The cops went crazy with pepper spray, attacking the protestors in ways I won't detail (but very #ACAB). Un-armed protestors. In trees. My friend tells me that this incident radicalized a LOT of folks -- as did some of the subsequent ones that soon followed...

From Wikipedia: Eugene Oregon - 1990s: #Anarchist activity

"Attempts by the city to remove a forest grove at downtown Broadway and Charnelton were met with protests on June 1, 1997. Forty trees in downtown Eugene were cut down to make way for a housing, retail, and parking project and were met with community resistance.

"The Eugene [#policeforce] was accused of overreaction and excessive use of force for their flagrant use of pepper spray, which was defended by Republican mayor Jim Torrey. In the Whitaker District, citizens were further radicalized by the incident and helped spur the activist community, which was already burgeoning due to a lack of affordable housing and growing income inequality in the area."

Unterschiedlich. Als ich abends vor meiner Tür von einem Unbekannten angegriffen wurde, weil ich als Flüchtlingshelfer im Viertel bekannt war, rief ich 110 und innerhalb weniger Minuten waren 2 Streifenwagen da, suchten vergebens den geflohenen Angreifer. Danke dafür!
Auf einer Anti AKW Demo in Brokdorf? / Grohnde? wurde ich mal leicht vermöbelt. Das war unnötige Gewalt gegen friedlichen Protest.
Aber deshalb #ACAB? Weder sind alle Cops Bastarde, noch sind alle Cops beautiful.
