Suspects in Texas ICE shooting tied to trans, anti-fascist activism

DALLAS — Just after dusk on July 5, the crash of wood and metal suddenly reverberated through a predominantly Black and Latino neighborhood here known as The Bottoms. Neighbors peered out to see a small army of men in desert camouflage and tactical vests crouched behind a black armored vehicle, shouting commands toward a brick house.

A SWAT team had smashed through the front door of the residence, which neighbors say was occupied by several transgender women, part of a group of activists who initially united around trans and queer identity issues. Now, the women, dressed in bathrobes and pajamas, were being detained at gunpoint, neighbors said.

“It was weird enough that six or seven White, trans people moved into the neighborhood,” said a neighbor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of privacy concerns. He rolled a joint and gazed at the plywood-covered front window: “And now the FBI is raiding their house.”

Labour-run council ordering removal of St George’s and Union Jack flags is too scared to take down Palestine flags without police protection, leaked email reveals

A Labour-run council has sparked outrage by ordering the removal of British flags from lampposts – while being ‘too scared’ to take down Palestine flags without police protection.

Bankrupt Birmingham City Council said hundreds of Union and St George’s flags recently hung around the city ‘could put lives at risk’ by endangering motorists and pedestrians.

The flags had been strung up by a small, organised group of residents to ‘show Birmingham and the rest of the country how proud we are of our history, freedoms and achievements’.

Police used ‘Orwellian’ powers to gag firefighter in free speech row

Police used “Orwellian” powers to gag a firefighter and prevent him revealing he had been arrested after posting online messages criticising his bosses.

Staffordshire Police told Robert Moss that his right to “freedom of expression” had to be “limited to maintain public safety and order” following his arrest on suspicion of malicious communications.

But a special bail hearing at Newcastle-Under-Lyme magistrates’ court overturned the “gagging clause” amid fears officers were behaving as if they lived in a “police state”.

‘Two tier justice is out of control’: Fury as Labour councillor who called for Southport protesters’ throats to be cut is cleared of encouraging violent disorder

A Labour councillor who called for protesters’ throats to be cut has been cleared of encouraging violent disorder – prompting claims of ‘two-tier justice’.

Ricky Jones made the inflammatory comments at a counter-demonstration in north London in response to anti-migrant rallies sparked by the Southport stabbings.

In a video from the event in Walthamstow on August 7, 2024, Jones is seen telling cheering supporters: ‘They are disgusting Nazi fascists. We need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all.’
