WWW.LGBTQNATION.COMA school district just banned rainbow flags. It may soon remove protections for LGBTQ+ students too.The school board of Johnston County, North Carolina, voted 4-2 to ban district schools from displaying rainbow Pride flags on Tuesday. The ban is just the latest in a long line of conservative efforts to ban the LGBTQ+ flag from schools and government property.According to The Raleigh News & Observer, the newly approved policy states: Principals and teachers shall limit displays in the classrooms, school buildings, ball fields, school grounds, and buses, such as signs and flags, to materials that represent the United States, the state of North Carolina, Johnston County, the school name, mascot, post-secondary institutions, school-sponsored events, sponsorships, military flags, family photos, student art and/or the approved curriculum. Related Montana GOP angered after city outsmarts their new statewide Pride flag ban The city of Missoula followed the law so it could legally fly Pride flags on government property and the Republicans still arent happy about it. One board member who voted against the measure, Kay Carroll, said, Its important that they know when they see somebody wear a human rights pin or a rainbow pin, the message is that this is a safe place for people in the LGBTQ+ community. Its comforting to see these symbols of acceptance and tolerance. When they see these symbols which are signals they know they are safe to be their authentic selves. Were just treating human beings decently. Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights. Subscribe to our Newsletter today The school board claimed that it will continue to support all students and school employees. However, the board is currently considering removing sexual orientation and gender identity from its anti-bullying and anti-discrimination policies. The board will re-vote on the removal soon after failing to advance the measure in a 3-3 tie vote last Tuesday.Numerous school districts nationwide have banned the display of Pride flags, with conservative school board members claiming that the flags are a divisive form of indoctrination. However, recent polling by the Trevor Project suggests that LGBTQ+ students may benefit from visible displays of support, considering that 39% of LGBTQ+ young people and 46% of trans and nonbinary young people reported attempting suicide in the past year, and 49% of respondents between ages 13 to 17 said they experienced bullying in the past year. Young people who were bullied were also significantly more likely to have attempted suicide in the past year.Earlier this year, both Utah and Idaho became the first U.S. states to pass laws restricting the flying of Pride flags in schools and on government property. The move led the capital city governments ofSalt Lake City, Utah,andBoise, Idaho,to designate the Pride flags as official city flags, so they can still fly them under the bans.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.404MEDIA.COICE Is Searching a Massive Insurance and Medical Bill Database to Find Deportation TargetsAgents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have gained access to a massive database of health and car insurance claims and are using it to track down people they want to deport, according to internal ICE material viewed by 404 Media. The database, which contains details on more than 1.8 billion insurance claims and 58 million medical bills and growing, includes peoples names, addresses, telephone and tax identification numbers, license plates, and other sensitive personal information.The news shows how ICE continues to try to leverage whatever data it is able to access or purchase as part of its deportation mission. The news also highlights the existence of the database, called ISO ClaimSearch, that many members of the public have likely never heard of, nor understand they may be included in. Traditionally ISO ClaimSearch is used by insurers to identify people committing fraud or police to recover stolen vehicles. Now, that database is being repurposed as a deportation tool.ICE ERO use of this data reaffirms that ICE will stop at nothing to build a mass surveillance dragnet to track, surveil and criminalize all community members. Time and time again, ICE has shown us that it intends to build a mass surveillance system that nets all Americans. It is not about combatting crime, this is about the federal government having surveillance power and control over all Americans, Julie Mao, co-founder and deputy director of Just Futures Law, told 404 Media in an email.Law enforcement, criminal justice, and regulatory agency personnel may obtain online access to ISOs ClaimSearch, the insurance industrys All Claims Database, which includes property and casualty claims data along with vehicle related information, a document explaining the tool available online reads.The internal ICE material seen by 404 Media says that officers from the agencys Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) section can use ISO ClaimSearch to help find targets. ERO is the section of ICE focused on deportations. The material says ISO ClaimSearch includes data on vehicle and health insurance claims.Do you know anything else about ICE's access to datasets like this? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.The ISO in the tools name stands for Insurance Services Office, an insurance rating organization formed in the 1970s which is now a subsidiary of a company called Verisk. The database is nearly all encompassing, covering 98 percent of the insurance industrys claims, according to an overview published by government authorities in Florida.In essence, insurance companies feed claims into ISO ClaimSearch so when they do investigate fraud they can see more potentially related claims at once. Insurance companies can become a member of ISO and they can send claims information to ISO to check whether similar claims have been filed with other insurance companies, one description available online reads.The document explaining the tool says that law enforcement agencies need to either be investigating insurance-related crime, or be developing background information on a list of people who have been identified as persons of interest with regard to homeland security activity.Qualified law enforcement agencies will be able to see all information the ISO ClaimSearch database contains pertaining to vehicles, casualty claims, and property claims, including individual names, addresses, the document says. It then says law enforcement agencies can also view driver license, Social Security, phone, and policy or claim numbers. The data also includes peoples tax identification numbers, their vehicle identification number (VIN), and license plate, the document says. Users are able to search the massive amount of data with some of those identifiers.Law enforcement users have to be approved by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), according to ISO ClaimSearchs website. The NICB is a not-for-profit organization whose members include more than 1,200 property-casualty insurance companies, according to its website.404 Media obtained a copy of a report generated with ISO ClaimSearch from a private industry source. It is not clear if it presents the same sort of results that an ICE agent would see when using the tool, but the report included a detailed history of insurance claims related to specific vehicles, names, phone numbers, license plates, and redacted driver license, Social Security, and tax numbers and email addresses.ClaimSearch is a property/casualty claims database that helps clients identify patterns that may indicate insurance fraud. ClaimSearch is used to aid in insurance fraud investigations, so insurers can determine if claims can be fast-tracked or if they require a closer look for potential fraud. ClaimSearch does not track immigration or citizenship status, and neither DHS nor ICE are clients of Verisk for ClaimSearch, a spokesperson for Verisk, the company that owns the database, told 404 Media in a statement. When pressed on whether ICE may have obtained access to the data through another provider, the spokesperson reiterated that law enforcement access is administered through the NICB.A spokesperson for the NICB told 404 Media The National Insurance Crime Bureau is a national, century-old, not-for-profit organization supported by approximately 1,200 property and casualty insurance companies. We sit at the intersection of the insurance industry and state, local, and federal law enforcement to help detect, prevent, and deter insurance crimes. While NICB provides value to our member companies, we also serve a significant public benefit by helping to stem the estimated billions of dollars in economic harm that insurance crime causes to individual policyholders across the country every year. NICB employees work closely with law enforcement entities, government agencies, and prosecutors throughout the country to fulfill its mission. The spokesperson did not deny that ICE has access to the tool.A video published to Verisks YouTube channel explains some of ISO ClaimSearchs various uses. One is to feed claims through the Medicare system to ensure that each reported loss is paid for by the right party (a second video says Verisk facilitates claim settlements between insurance carriers and injured parties); another is to allow law enforcement to recover stolen construction or farming vehicles and return them to their owners; a third is to help states recover unpaid child support on behalf of families.A screenshot from the NICB document explaining law enforcement access to ISO ClaimSearch.Broadly the tool is used for fraud prevention and detection, Igor Ostrovskiy, a private investigator with Ostro Intelligence, told 404 Media. ISO is a very important tool within the insurance world, one insurance company said in an industry podcast uploaded to YouTube last year.That data is now being leveraged to find ICEs targets, according to the internal agency material.This is another, shocking example of mass data collection ostensibly collected for one purpose misconstrued and misappropriated for a far more nefarious purposeto conduct mass surveillance and criminalize community members, Mao added.ICE has repeatedly turned to novel, overlooked, or non-government databases, sometimes despite legal issues. The agency previously bought access to smartphone location data harvested from ordinary apps. A 2023 government watchdog report found that ICE and other agencies used that data illegally. The report recommended ICE stop using such data until it obtained the necessary approvals, which ICE refused to do.ICE Is Using a New Facial Recognition App to Identify People, Leaked Emails ShowThe new tool, called Mobile Fortify, uses the CBP system which ordinarily takes photos of people when they enter or exit the U.S., according to internal ICE emails viewed by 404 Media. Now ICE is using it in the field.404 MediaJoseph CoxIn 2021 researchers at Georgetown Law found ICE accessed a private utility database with hundreds of millions of records, containing data from more than 80 utility companies, including water, electricity, and gas. Thomson Reuters, which runs the database called CLEAR, said it was reviewing its work selling personal data that ICE had used to investigate immigrants, The Washington Post reported in 2022. That, too, is usually marketed as a tool for investigating fraud.Last month 404 Media revealed ICE was using a new facial recognition app to identify people in the field. That tool, called Mobile Fortify, uses the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) system which ordinarily takes photos of people as they enter or exit the U.S.404 Media was also first to reveal that Palantir had entered a contract with ICE for complete target analysis of known populations. Leaked Palantir material then described Palantir as a more mature partner to ICE.Included in last weeks budget bill is around $150 billion for immigration enforcement and border security. That includes $6 billion for border technology and surveillance.Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, and Kristi Noem, the head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), recently gave ICE a quota of 3,000 arrests a day. After the increase in funding last week, border czar Tom Homan floated that the agency needs to arrest 7,000 a day.Neither ICE or DHS more broadly responded to requests for comment.0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.LGBTQNATION.COMDemocrats used one weird trick to keep an anti-trans bill from advancingDemocrats just blocked a trans sports ban in Pennsylvania after Republican lawmakers tried to force a vote, and they used an interesting legal maneuver to prevent it from even coming up for a vote.Democrats control the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, but only by a single vote, while Republicans control the states Senate. The Pennsylvania Senate has already passed S.B. 9, a bill that would ban transgender college and university students from participating in school sports. Related Mom rips clueless GOP lawmaker who asked 12-year-old girl about pornography The Pennsylvania Republican didnt apologize until national media coverage shamed him into it. The bill was referred to the states House Education Committee, where it hasnt come up for a vote. Insights for the LGBTQ+ community Subscribe to our briefing for insights into how politics impacts the LGBTQ+ community and more. Subscribe to our Newsletter today House Republicans tried to force the committee to vote on the bill using a discharge resolution. Such a resolution allows 25 House members to petition to force the committee to vote on the bill if its been in committee for 15 session days.Instead of taking that vote, the House Education Committee voted to send the bill to the House Health Committee in a 14-12 party-line vote, restarting the 15-day clock and effectively blocking a vote on the bill.I will never support legislation that targets any at-risk community, including our LGBTQIA+ neighbors, said state Rep. Peter Schweyer (D), whos the chair of the House Education Committee, LevittownNow reports. Simply stated, S.B. 9 would make school harder for kids already facing serious and severe bullying. S.B. 9 would not add one teacher to the classroom, repair one broken school building air conditioner, buy one new textbook, or help one kid get into college or find a good-paying job, he continued.Republicans, though, cried foul. Nine of the Republicans on the committee gave speeches denouncing the vote to send the bill to another committee, claiming that state Democrats were hurting cisgender girls by protecting trans girls access to an equal education.Its time we stand with our female athletes in Pennsylvania, said state Rep. Bryan Cutler (R), who is on the House Education Committee. They not only deserve a fair shot on the field, I believe theyve earned a fair vote and a full vote on the House floor. Pennsylvania is the state where one of the most famous trans college athletes attended school, swimmer Lia Thomas. The University of Pennsylvania, which she swam for, will strip Thomas of the titles she won and ban trans students from participating in sports as part of an agreement with the federal Department of Education.Penn became the center of national controversy in 2022 over Thomas participation on the womens team. The university staunchly stood by Thomas in the face of horrific backlash, which also led to the rise of right-wing activity, including Riley Gaines, who tied for fifth place with Thomas at a swim meet.In March, the White House confirmed plans to pause $175 million in federal funding from the University of Pennsylvania over its policies regarding trans students participation in sports. The school also agreed to send a personalized letter of apology to each impacted female swimmer.Trans advocates in the state oppose S.B. 9.When they participate in school sports, our youth learn important lessons including how to win with dignity, how to lose with grace, how to support their teammates, and how to play by the rules, said Corinne Goodwin of the Eastern PA Trans Equity Project.The Supreme Court has taken up two cases about state bans on trans people participating in school sports. One of those cases, Hecox v. Little, involves a student at Boise State University who wants to run on her college track team.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

Young knew that didnt happen, and it quickly became clear it was a setup so the leader of the group could attack him. Related A mysterious masked unicycler is stealing a neigborhoods Pride flags Now the small town is banding together to keep the flags flying.

He said one looked at me like I was crazy or high, and he didnt want to be bothered.After being repeatedly told he had to find an officer for help, he decided to just drive home. He reunited with his boyfriend, who took him to the hospital. Young found out hed endured soft tissue damage to his jaw and also had a concussion. Police are now investigating the attack and have not yet determined if it was hate-motivated, though Young made it clear the attackers had no interest in his belongings and made no attempt to rob him. Young also filed a complaint with the fire department about their behavior at the event.The entire experience has rocked him to the core, he said.
