Raid 2 Netflix

[Hildegard Lobach]

JamesBrantley, 62, ducked about $2.5 million in payroll taxes by hiring undocumented immigrants to work in the Southeastern Provision slaughterhouse in Bean Station and paying them in cash for 20 years, according to federal court records.

That scheme ended April 5, 2018, when agents of the IRS and the U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement swept down on the slaughterhouse and rounded up 97 men and women. At the time, it was the nation's biggest workplace raid in a decade and the largest in Tennessee since the 1990s.

The documentary opens with Yahel Salazar, whose husband was placed in a federal detention center following the raid. Salazar spoke with Knox News in 2018 about the overwhelming uncertainty she faced and how the raid changed her life.

In July 2019, more than a year after the raid took place, 73 of the men and women arrested in the raid were still waiting to learn whether they'd be deported. Others were sent back to their native countries, while 10 who had been deported before spent time in jail.

After the Raid is a 2019 documentary film directed by Rodrigo Reyes. The premise revolves around a meatpacking plant in Grainger County, Tennessee where 97 undocumented workers were arrested during a raid in 2018.[1][2]

The home of Siaka Massaquoi, 35, who has appeared in the Netflix series Ratched, was raided by FBI agents in the early hours of the morning last Thursday, although no arrests were made, authorities say.

In an email with Newsweek on Monday, FBI spokesperson Laura Eimiller confirmed that "the FBI executed a federal search warrant at a North Hollywood residence on Thursday, June 10th." It was not yet clear, Monday, why the raid was conducted, but the FBI declined to comment further, stating that the warrant and its affidavit remain sealed.

Massaquoi, along with friend Brian Burks who was also present for the raid, described "twenty-some FBI agents with assault rifles" in a video posted to Instagram shortly after the raid on his North Hollywood home. The agents served the warrant clad in riot gear at about 6 a.m. Thursday morning.

Massaquoi can be seen participating in the January 6 riots in videos posted to social media by Tim Gionet, the alt-right activist known online as "Baked Alaska," who live-streamed much of the riots. Gionet's videos show Massaquoi standing inside the Capitol Building, smiling and filming the rioters and Capitol Police.

Burks said in the Instagram video, Thursday, that he was not at the riots, but was being investigated "by association." "That's literally where we're at," Burks said. "...You don't even have to be guilty of something, but if by chance you know somebody, you're guilty of something because of them."

During the Instagram video, Burks said FBI officials said he and Massaquoi were both under investigation for associating with members of a social media group. The FBI spokesperson was unable to confirm or deny this detail with Newsweek, as "It's an ongoing investigation."

Massaquoi has also been part of additional far-right activism movements recently, including participating at an anti-vaccine rally that took place near the entrance to a COVID-19 vaccine clinic at Dodgers Stadium in January, as reported by The Mercury News. The protest resulted in the authorities shutting the site down briefly as a precaution.

After the Raid is an American short documentary film directed by Rodrigo Reyes. It was released on Netflix on December 19, 2019. This film documents an event where a large immigration raid in a small town in Tennessee leaves emotions.

Mr. Russell procured access to raw footage from a local news station that was tipped off about the raid and covered it live from the scene. The result is a visually compelling, chronological retelling of events, narrated by interviews with ATF and FBI agents, as well as three Branch Davidian survivors.

Waco continues to inspire gun rights and religious liberty groups, and it has been, at least by some, credited with spawning the resurgence of the modern militia movement. With 30 years of books, movies, and TV shows on the topic, a braver documentary would have explored the resonance of Waco in right wing politics today. That President Trump is holding his first 2024 campaign rally at Waco on Saturday speaks volumes.

Netflix is remaking the action classic The Raid: Redemption, and the movie will chart a different path from the Iko Uwais-led original. Directed by Gareth Evans, The Raid follows a police unit in Jakarta that launches a raid on an apartment complex populated by criminals and killers. When the crime boss who rules over the tenement building learns of their invasion, the cops find themselves in a terrifying battle for their survival.

Upon its release in 2012, The Raid was heralded as one of the best action movies of all time. The film also launched its leading man Iko Uwais to stardom and put Indonesia on the map with its incredible martial arts battles. Evans and Uwais followed up with The Raid 2 in 2014, which achieved an equal level of acclaim on the international stage.

Several attempts have been made over the years to produce a Hollywood remake of The Raid, though none have gotten off the ground. With the involvement of a streaming titan like Netflix and Evans' own attachment, the newest iteration of The Raid remake could finally be the one to move ahead. Here's everything known about The Raid remake on Netflix.

Per the official announcement in Deadline, Michael Bay is set to produce The Raid remake, while Patrick Hughes is attached as director. Hughes, who was originally set to direct the first planned remake of The Raid, will also reportedly co-write the film with James Beaufort. Additionally, the man behind The Raid movies, Evans, will also executive produce the remake. As to the nature of the film itself, it also doesn't seem to be a straightforward remake in the usual sense.

The Raid remake is set to take place in Philadelphia, specifically in an area of the section dubbed the "Badlands". While the original Raid involved its famed high-rise premise, the remake will focus on a DEA unit pursuing a drug lord in Philadelphia's Badlands with the help of some local informants. While that's all that's known about the story, it suggests The Raid remake will have less of a contained setting and unfold over a longer timeframe.

With Evans' original Raid movies planned as a trilogy, many have wondered if The Raid 3 will ever happen. However, with both Evans and Uwais having moved on to various other projects, The Raid 3 doesn't seem to be on the cards anymore. Per Evans himself in a Slash Film interview, his re-evaluation of the series after The Raid 2 left him feeling satisfied with where the story concluded. Evans' return to the U.K. after several years of working in Indonesia also felt, from Evans' own perspective "like a closing chapter on that franchise", which he stated in an interview with Impact Online (via AICN). Despite that, hopefully, with Evans' guidance as executive producer, The Raid remake can offer something new for the franchise.

Dystopian visions of near-future cities can tell us a lot about who we are now while also warning us of what's to come. In Kibwe Tavares and Daniel Kaluuya's film The Kitchen, set in a not-so-distant London, the power of privatization threatens to crush the last standing independent neighbourhood.

In this complex, compelling vision, community proves an immensely powerful force against such oppression. Gentrification has all but won. Police brutality ensures its victory. But there's one last bastion of resistance, the neighbourhood known as The Kitchen, where residents hold firm in their homes on the Thames's south bank.

As well as making his directorial debut with The Kitchen, Kaluuya co-wrote the script with Joe Murtagh (The Woman in the Wall, Calm with Horses), blending social realism and sci-fi elements, and digging into social politics, inequality, grief, and family through protagonists Izi (Top Boy star Kane Robinson) and Benji (Jedaiah Bannerman).

A sharp, poignant prediction for a capitalist future that slowly diminishes individualism, The Kitchen feels like a cautionary tale, an allegory for where cities like London are headed. It's less of a fantastical hypothetical as it is a grim premonition that doesn't feel out of this world. And while the film is anchored in London, as the marketing tagline reminds us, "Every city has its Kitchen."

Tavares and Kaluuya, who both grew up in London, describe the film as "a love letter to our city." Set in the heart of England's capital, The Kitchen takes full advantage of the city's Brutalist, monochromatic architecture for a futuristic feel (though The Kitchen's exterior is actually the Damiers de Dauphin in Paris). The film is intentionally dateless but seems close enough to our present to feel uncomfortable. In this future, the wealth gap has become more of a canyon. Utilitarian but luxe private developments dominate the skyline; social housing has been all but eliminated, forcing people onto long waitlists for expensive, cookie-cutter apartments with no alternatives.

Izi is working hard at a funeral home with the hope of someday getting out of The Kitchen when he meets 12-year-old Benji, who is grieving his mother and scrambling to find a sense of family. In a gentler role than his famed Top Boy run, Robinson imbues Izi with a sense of solitary determination, rattled only by his newfound connection with the stoic but sporadically cheeky Benji, played to perfection by newcomer Bannerman. Robinson and Bannerman's chemistry develops organically; according to Rolling Stone, the film was shot chronologically, assisting this gradual process, and Kaluuya encouraged as much improvisation in his leads as possible. Sharing the experience of forced independence through circumstance, Benji and Izi develop their bond despite the constant threat of raids and Benji's gravitation toward a young, more actively political crew led by Stapes (Top Boy's Hope Ikpoku Jnr).
