"Just before being put on board her deportation flight, Melissa Tran’s wrists and ankles were shackled to a chain around her waist. It had been more than 10 hours since she’d been given any food or water; for the last seven she had been sitting on a bus on the tarmac."

BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes.
This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

Last spring, lawmakers had to travel to El Salvador to meet with Americans wrongly detained in concentration camps. Now they just have to travel to Texas to do so!
A 5-year-old Minnesota child detained with his father at a Texas immigration facility appeared lethargic during a visit Jan. 28 by members of Congress, who demanded the family’s immediate release and an end to the use of family detention.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day
Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

If a random stranger said this, it would be bad enough. But the fact a supposed Fed agent says this ON CAMERA with his face uncovered shows he doesn’t think there will be any ramifications. He’s forgotten that the arc of history bends toward justice. Many a Nazi camp guard found that out years later
“If you raise your voice, I erase your voice.”
ICE is now openly intimidating peaceful observers for daring to speak. This is what unchecked power sounds like when it knows the public is watching. Silence is the goal.
Call every senator & demand they take action.
No more money.
Rein them in.
