Dozens Arrested During ICE Protest in Times Square

At least 85 people were arrested by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) during a protest against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in New York, on September 19, local news reported. Protesters blocked roadways in Times Square to call for the abolishment of ICE in light of recent reports alleging hysterectomies were performed on uninformed women held in an ICE facility in Georgia without consent. Videos filmed by Isabelle Leyva show NYPD officers shoving and dragging protesters on Saturday, while a loudspeaker announces that those blocking the road would be arrested. “The NYPD just attacked us at the Times Square abolish ICE protest for stepping off the sidewalk. Several organizers arrested for no reason. Police violence at protests is escalating in NYC, please pay attention,” Leyva wrote on Twitter, adding that she had not “seen them act this violently since May.” Credit: Isabelle Leyva via Storyful

Connecticut Police Release Bodycam Footage of Traffic Stop Shooting

State officials are reviewing a September 14 traffic stop in Naugatuck, Connecticut, that ended in a hail of police gunfire as a suspect fled in his car. The State Attorney for Fairfield Connecticut, Joseph T. Corradino, had bodycam footage taken of the incident released as part of a use of force investigation by his office.

Flag Flown at Half Staff Outside US Supreme Court Following Death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Following the news of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death on Friday, September 18, flags outside the United States Supreme Court and the US Capitol were flown at half staff. Ginsburg, 87, died from complications of metastatic pancreas cancer, the Supreme Court said in a statement. “Our Nation has lost a jurist of historic stature. We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts said in the statement. “Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her — a tireless and resolute champion of justice.” Ginsburg became the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court and was quoted in reports as a “pioneering advocate for women’s rights, who in her ninth decade became a much younger generation’s unlikely cultural icon.” Following the announcement of her death, individuals began gathering at the Supreme Court, as can be seen in this footage.

Police brace for top secret anti-lockdown protest in Melbourne

Victoria Police is bracing for another round of anti-lockdown protests in Melbourne – the location of which organisers have kept secret through encrypted messages. Protesters are expected to release the location 30 minutes before the protest in an attempt to catch police off guard. Police say no matter where the protest pops up, they’ll be waiting to deliver the full force of the law. Protests are planned for the city's CBD on Saturday and Sunday. Last week more than 70 people were arrested in a protest at the Queen Victoria Market. The protest comes as Victoria Police turns to retired officers to bolster their force – recruiting the former cops to enforce compliance with COVID-19 rules. They will have the power to detain, move on, fine or arrest members of the public. The recruitment drive, run by the Department of Justice and Community Safety and the Department of Health and Human Services, would be implemented until April 2021.
