Today in American Ethnic Cleansing

A fascist two-fer–deporting a journalist!
An advocacy group says a reporter with a Spanish-language outlet in Tennessee is in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after he was arrested during a protest.
Latino Memphis Director Mauricio Calvo said Friday that Manuel Duran is being held in LaSalle ICE Processing Center in Jena, Louisiana.
Duran was reporting on a protest of immigration policies Tuesday in Memphis when he was arrested. Disorderly conduct and obstruction of a highway charges were dropped, but he was picked up by immigration agents after his release.
Duran is from El Salvador and he has lived in Memphis for years. He runs the Memphis Noticias online news outlet.
Once again, we need to demand the abolition of ICE as a policy all Democrats must hold. Sean McElwee has been incredibly great on pushing this and while no Democrats have been willing to take this step yet, he’s doing valuable work with his big audience in creating space for this. The agencies of the security state are simply unacceptable in a democratic nation. There’s a reason the ICE union embraced Trump in a way that government workers unions have never done before with any candidate. These people are fascist. They take great joy in deportations. It’s disgusting and revolting and yet we do nothing about it.
