2·2 days agoSTAMFORD, CT — While Gov. Ned Lamont may talk tough about federal immigration policies – including an “ICE, go home” comment that triggered a partial Republican walkout during the State of the State Address – his actions have not lived up to his rhetoric, state Rep. Josh Elliott said Wednesday.
Flanked by immigration advocates, the Hamden Democrat challenging Lamont to a primary election said Lamont was too fearful of the federal government. He declared himself the candidate willing to stand up to the administration of President Donald Trump, aligning himself philosophically with California Gov. Gavin Newsom, an outspoken critic of Trump and ICE.
“We saw how governors who stand up for these marginalized communities are out in the streets protesting with them. Are putting laws into place to protect them. To use verbiage to get people to understand that the federal government is simply out of control,” Elliott said.
Elliott had made protection from ICE part of what he called his Day 1 agenda. In that campaign statement he said he would instruct the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection to arrest any ICE agent in Connecticut who violates the state law prohibiting law enforcement personnel from wearing masks or who violates the protected spaces law that protects people in places like courthouses, schools and hospitals. He also would create a hotline to report violations of the Trust Act on his first day in office, he said.
“We will fully enforce our laws and not allow our civil liberties to be trampled,” he said.
His legislative agenda for 2027 would include expanding the sensitive locations protected under law by adding community health centers, family planning clinics and outpatient medical settings. He also pledged to create a $10 million legal defense fund for immigrants facing detention or deportation.

Early voting in the August 11 Democratic primary has begun and runs through Sunday.
I’m hoping the sheer number of these videos and stories shows that Overton window movement among other things.
They were hard working, illegal, going to immigration court appointment, us citizen, applied for asylum, died in detention, refused medical attention, deported against court orders, misidentified, an award winning teacher, a Trump voter’s fiancé, murdered in the street…
At the end of the day, I hope we can come to the same conclusion.
Idk about that.
Categories of speech that are given lesser or no protection by the First Amendment (and therefore may be restricted) include obscenity, fraud, child pornography, speech integral to illegal conduct, speech that incites imminent lawless action, speech that violates intellectual property law, true threats, and commercial speech such as advertising. As a general rule, lies are protected, with limited exceptions such as defamation, fraud, false advertising, perjury, and lying under oath during an official government proceeding. Even deliberate lies about the government are fully protected.
Hate speech is not a general exception to First Amendment protection.[2][3][4][5][6] Per Wisconsin v. Mitchell, hate crime sentence enhancements do not violate First Amendment protections because they do not criminalize speech itself, but rather use speech as evidence of motivation, which is constitutionally permissible.[7]
Along with communicative restrictions, less protection is afforded to uninhibited speech when the government acts as subsidizer or speaker, is an employer, controls education, or regulates the mail, airwaves, legal bar, military, prisons, and immigration

I guess it depends on how obscenity is defined.
Ok, fixed that
Cornejo was a 41-year-old father and landscaper from El Salvador who died on Sunday after suffering a medical emergency in detention.
His family reports that Lopez Cornejo called them daily to complain about overcrowded conditions and being forced to drink water from the bathroom sink.
He told his family that he was not receiving his medications, which he took to manage seizures, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
Cornejo was eventually taken to University Hospital in Newark, where he was pronounced dead. He was 22nd person to die in ICE custody this year, and the second to die at Delaney Hall.
You can still demand them to get off your property before you call the cops on them for trespassing, just dont answer their questions.
Text from the document found in the link:
On August 3, 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents used UC San Diego (UCSD) property as a staging area, claiming they were on “official business” and investigating nearby. UCSD failed to notify students of confirmed ICE activity on UC property.
ICE began investigating after a panga boat washed ashore near the Scripps Pier in La Jolla Shores around 8 a.m. Specifically, the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) division of ICE questioned multiple individuals near Scripps Pier and conducted further operations in the neighborhood near La Jolla Shores Dr & Horizon Way.
To protect the community, the Ellis Collective and Students’ Civil Liberties Union mobilized an emergency joint patrol in coordination with the local Community Self Defense Coalition. Intelligence gathered by Student Rapid Response suggests that ICE may have been surveilling a house in the neighborhood, likely to conduct a raid and/or arrest. Further insights suggest potential continued surveillance near Poole Street.
According to the UCSD Police Department (UCSDPD), ICE indicated they would be conducting an operation near La Jolla Shores Dr & Horizon Way—off university property. Yet, multiple agents with undercover vehicles, HSI vests, and special agent placards claiming “official business” were parked illegally in a fire lane on Capricorn Lane, which is University property.
Given the immediate proximity to student residences and long-standing record of constitutional and human rights violations by ICE, we advise caution for UCSD affiliates and campus community members.
According to UCSD, “to comply with the law, if federal immigration enforcement is confirmed on campus, UCSD, will send an ‘SB 98 notification’ via email.”1 We asked UCSDPD why students were not notified pursuant to Senate Bill 98 (2025) directives. A UCSDPD official argued that notification was not required as the agents “told us they were conducting their investigation off-campus” and their on-campus staging involved “just parking there.” Yet, they acknowledged that upon reports of ICE presence, an officer is meant to verify this presence, then “notify [UCSDPD] administration, then they notify the campus administration, then there’s a specific team that will do notification for the entire campus.”
First, we demand transparency and full compliance in notice of on-campus activity of immigration enforcement officers. Second, we demand that the process for notification be streamlined to ensure expedient and actionable notification to all campus stakeholders. While these demands are bare minimum of SB 98 policies adopted by the UC, we further expect the UCPD be proactive in protecting our community against ICE.

- You probably won’t
- The “your lawyer” thing is more of a colloquialism that means a lawyer you should provide yourself. Call your lawyer normally means find a lawyer to represent you if you don’t already have one lined up or on payroll. Also, it should be noted that these fascist intentionally move people to different states where an abductee’s lawyer probably isn’t able to practice. So in this situation it is better to use a national lawfirm or advocacy group like the following
