    This is a really great write-up, buts it’s a shame that the article does not mention that the building the school is moving into is owned by the same people that own the ICE building…

    But several board members, staff and students’ parents said moving to the Bridges building could leave immigrant students at risk.

    That building is owned by local real estate company Lindquist Development, which also owns the building ICE leases. Stuart Linquist, the company’s president, struck a protester with his Mercedes outside the ICE facility in 2018, and later threatened to fight anti-ICE protestors in an interview with Willamette Week about the incident.

    Some Cottonwood staff and board members fear Lindquist could allow ICE agents into the building while students are in classes, according to sources who spoke to Street Roots on condition of anonymity.

    Following the altercation, dozens of community members as well as federal agents with the Homeland Security Investigations vests gathered outside the home.

    At least one person was arrested for assaulting a federal officer, San Bernardino police said.

    But the person was set free “despite refusing to comply and wounding officers,” the DHS said.

    It really does sound like they’re just making shit up as they go. Would they really set an arrestee free after “assaulting and wounding” one of theirs? I call bull shit.

    Statement from Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice

    Alt text

    BORDER PATROL FIRES ON CIVILIAN VEHICLE, STAGES WARRANTLESS OPERATION At approximately 8:40am, immigration agents stopped a vehicle, broke the driver and passenger windows, and fired three times while people were inside. The individual returned home after it became clear agents had no warrant. In fear, the family called SBPD for help. Instead of intervening, SBPD did little to assist. By 9:30am, armed ICE and HSI agents, joined by SBPD, surrounded the home. Despite never presenting a warrant, they remained until 3:45pm, pressuring the individual to come outside. During the incident, two community members were detained using unnecessary force, including one for speaking out. This was a clear abuse of power. Firing at civilians, harassing families without cause, and targeting community voices must stop. We demand full accountability and transparency from SBPD and DHS. We thank all who showed up to support the family. Because of that collective pressure, ICE left. This is not an isolated incident it is part of a larger, unacceptable pattern.
