## Trump’s ICE Has Started Targeting Activists, Not Just Immigrants

Authored by truthout.org

Trump made headlines on September 22 with an executive order declaring “Antifa,” short for anti-fascist, a domestic terrorist organization.

That includes people who track and record Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity with the aim of slowing deportations — a move that has long bothered the administration.

Both the memo and the order threaten to expand the surveillance and intimidation of activists that is already underway.

CLDC attorneys say ICE is attempting to unlawfully expand its law enforcement power.

Instead, ICE issued an “administrative subpoena,” a different type that is used by federal agencies in the course of official business.

“This subpoena is an attempt by ICE to expand their power well beyond the scope of what Congress intended when the agency was created.”.

Authored by pravda.com.ua

Quote: "Today, there were also reports on our entirely justified strikes against Russian targets – against their logistics and fuel infrastructure.

Russia chooses war, Russia destroys our people's lives, and must be held accountable – our long-range capabilities will increase.

Russia now imports petrol, and notably from across the map: from Asia – China and others – and from Europe, Belarus in particular. »
