The Hound 10/20

Hi there,

It’s Monday. Today we’re talking about the shocking detentions of U.S. citizens by DHS under immigration operations, how ICE is labeling protest movements like “antifa” as terror threats, and more.

We’re also tracking how right-wing media coverage is ignoring or normalizing mass surveillance tactics — specifically, a plan for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to monitor social media posts for enforcement purposes.

🖊️ Add your name to demand media outlets expose this surveillance overreach and protect civil liberties.

Read about this, and more, with today’s stories:
