U.S. Border Patrol agents in western New York have been rewarded with cash bonuses and Home Depot gift cards in an incentive program that has grown at the same time as has an overly aggressive enforcement culture, a new study states. While the study does not definitively link the incentive program and the enforcement practices, the report from the New York University School of Law Immigrant Rights Clinic says that the Border Patrol culture — especially at the Rochester bus and train stations — is one that “maximizes arr…http://www.twitpic.com/c3ufug

Organized by UWM Boycott Coalition, striking workers participated in today’s rally.

As any resident will tell you, it didn’t stop there. Now, former Occupy protesters have filed suit against Oakland and the county of Alameda, seeking class-action status and stating that the arrests violated their civil…http://www.twitpic.com/bwzwzv

The federal lawsuit filed Monday in San Francisco says 409 people were unlawfully arrested them outside the YMCA. The suit, seeking class-action status, claims civil rights were violated when they were held in jail for hours but were never charged with a crime. The suit says protesters weren’t given a dispersal order by law enforcement. The mass arrest occurred hours after protesters tried to take over the vacant Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center several blocks away. The suit s…http://www.twitpic.com/bw36ck

The police and military responded to the protests with mass arrests and beatings. In Mexico City at least 35 protesters were injured, and one remains in critical condition. The transfer of power to Peña Nieto and his party, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), took place under tight security. Hidden from the press and the public, Mexico’s new p…http://www.twitpic.com/bj5mjx
