On Friday ICE agents stopped a bus in Albion, NY. They had a list of names, and took 14 people into custody
Those workers—and their employer—happened to be involved in one of the most crucial labor struggles in the state in recent memory

“They Actually Had a List”: ICE Arrests Workers Involved in Landmark Labor Rights Case
“We are concerned at the appearance of targeting publicly pro-union worker leaders,” said a UFW official about an ICE raid in New York.
May 6, 2025 14:07So now ICE is just being used as thugs for big business? Well, I guess it isn’t a very big step away from government kidnappers.
This is what the data mining and consolidation of compartmented personal information was for. Why is anyone surprised they had a list?
A favorite tactic of company union busters in the 1930's.
Anyone calling themselves an agent of “ICE” needs to be either willing to pause, and identify themselves, or face the consequences of being a potential kidnapper. In a country so armed-to-the-teeth that kids shot in schools barely warrant a headline anymore, it’s really easy to see where this leads.
What sort of "Americans" take this job and carry out orders without question? Hint. Nazis
I wish we could...
Peter Theil's company, Palantir, provides real-time tracking of immigrants. Several former employees wrote that the once valued mission is now corrupted.
Gestapo in action
Close to 150 community members rallied at Batavia ICE detention facility in upstate NY demanding the release of UFW farm worker leaders who were targeted for arrest and detention last Friday.

It's not an 'appearance' and the union should be more than 'concerned'. We all know what's going on and the UFW should have sue the hell out of ICE.
Any lawyers representing the employers in this case better be able to document they had no part in this.
But, I think this aspect of legal ethics applies to the employers as well as their attorneys.

They reject the claims of involvement but the plants who gave up this information will be exposed. Current admin data will come to light but those responsible will never be truly punished for this disgrace. This is the history of labor abuse in our country

Fuck you, Glenn Greenwald.
ICE has taken on such a monstrous form – its officers must themselves be monsters
And we wondered what DOGE was doing at the DOL and the NLRB!!!
Maybe they should go after the company if they were hiring illegal immigrants
Shame on everyone in these ICE agents lives for maintaining contact with them, refraining from violence toward them, and speaking to them as if they were people.
Then they came for the union workers but I didn't speak up since I wasn't a union worker.
The Palantirization of USA citizens, congratulations!!! 🥳 👏
I live very near here. I'm not a farmer nor is any of my family or anyone I know. Trying to make sense of it The farm might not want unions but employ undocumented workers. i can't figure out why they'd report their own workers? Trying to be logical here. BTW my sympathies lie with the workers.
What they’re doing is creating a whole New class of welfare recipients. Most Of those men sent to El Salvador had families with children born in the U.S.
Now, their wives are single mothers, some with babies. They will Now
Be able to collect. This Is
Badly thought out!
What do you think they’re stealing all that data for?
Not good when lists are being made
Gestapo targeting political opponents. Depose these nazis now.
@kathyhochul.bsky.social And where is the Governor allowing this to happen in her state?

The mark of the Beast.
Imagine that.
📌 Fascist timeline
I still think when people find out how much info is coming from edtech to do this stuff, people might feel a different way about their school apps.
There is an easy way to fix all this.
😂😂😂 A "list" is worse than "randomly arresting" people... ???
😂😂😂
Maybe the employer should have hired legal workers?
Just a suggestion - and especially if they are involved in such "crucial labor struggles"...
😂😂😂

That would go on the list of 'cocerns'.
