Across the country, ICE agents are escalating violence against immigrant workers in Home Depot stores and parking lots. These enforcement operations are chaotic, traumatic, and sometimes deadly. Just last week in Oregon, agents forcibly abducted a man inside a Home Depot as onlookers called them cowards. In August, in Monrovia, CA, Carlos Roberto Montoya – a Guatemalan day laborer – was killed while fleeing an ICE operation at a Home Depot store. These attacks are happening on Home Depot property, under Home Depot’s watch, and with Home Depot’s silence. The … Continued

After being rejected twice — by the Privacy Advisory Commission and the Public Safety Committee — OPD’s $2.25 million FLOCK mass surveillance contract is back on the agenda through a backdoor, undemocratic process. On Wednesday, with less than 24 hours’ notice, Council President Kevin Jenkins, Councilmembers Rowena Brown, and Janani Ramachandran voted in the Rules Committee to send the FLOCK contract to the full City Council for a vote on December 16. Councilmember Ken Houston even thanked Jenkins for “bringing it back,” making it clear this was a coordinated effort to bypass the democratic process and ignore the people’s will. This comes after more than 4,000 Oaklanders sent … Continued

Stand with Grandma Addie Kitchen, the grandmother of Steven Taylor, who was killed by San Leandro police officer Jason Fletcher during a mental health crisis. This week, newly appointed District Attorney Ursula Jones-Dickson informed the family that she would be filing a motion to dismiss all charges against Fletcher — while the presiding judge who has overseen this case for four years is on vacation. That judge just denied the defense’s motion to dismiss on November 14, stating on the record that this case must go to trial and be decided by a jury. Instead of respecting that ruling, DA Jones-Dickson … Continued
