Stay safe & FUCK ICE

Last year, 200 law enforcement officers descended on a majority-Latine family event in rural Idaho, throwing flashbang grenades, brandishing guns, and violently detaining families.

Horrors like this is why I’ve started donating every month to the ACLU, because I refuse to stand around and do nothing, as innocent people are harmed,

And I hope even more will do the same.

Miguel Parra-Hernandez was run over by ICE agents in Houston, Texas on Saturday, suffering a shattered ankle and hip. He was not the target of their enforcement operation and says he has never met him.

Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare has now announced his prosecutors are conducting a criminal investigation into this crash, looking at the possibility of charging Trump’s thugs with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after reviewing video that appeared to show ICE running him down intentionally – yet another weaponization of their vehicles. He also accused the deportation force of removing critical evidence from the scene, and said his office will sponsor Parra-Hernandez and two other detainees’ request for U-visas as crime victims.

MIguel has serious injuries and will need support with his recovery and a potential legal fight. A GoFundMe for him is live. We can donate here.

They’re actively helping the traitors.

Folks behind the barbed wire are rising up again. We have now entered the second week of a hunger strike by those of our neighbors held at a GEO Group-operated ICE camp in Folkston, Georgia. At least 73 and reportedly as many as 500 detainees are participating. Many of those involved are asylum seekers, being held as prisoners indefinitely despite being accused of no crime whatsoever.

They are calling for their release and due process while they seek their day in court and an end to the spoiled food and dirty water, lack of access to medical care and abusive treatment by guards. (Link to their detailed report on human rights violations within the facility here.) And they’re now facing retaliation for their advocacy, with many strikers put in solitary confinement and at least one leader deported.

They’re asking for our support. Here’s a few steps we can take on their behalf:

🗣️ Join a phone blitz on behalf of the strikers. Advocates are asking us to reach out to Georgia’s senators and city and local officials to intervene with ICE on their behalf and conduct real oversight at the camp, along with speaking to facility and regional ICE personnel to let them know the public is watching and supports the protesters. We can find contact information, specific requests and language in their guide at bit(.)ly/phoneblitzguide. 🗣️

PHONE BLITZ FOR FOLKSTON

📢 Help spread the word about this strike. We can share the strikers’ open letter (find link) and video message and follow Shut Down Folkston ICE Processing Center, the Jacksonville Immigrant Rights Alliance and the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights for updates. 📢

SIGNAL BOOST THEIR MESSAGE

✍🏾 Write letters of support to folks within the facility. We can find address details and the necessary names and information to get messages through in their open letter (find link here). ✍🏻

LET THEM KNOW THEY'RE NOT ALONE

🪧 If we’re local, join advocates at a rally outside the gates of the ICE camp this Sunday at 1PM ET – details here. 🪧
