ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!
Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.
He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.

not surprising given the way pritzker has legitimized deportations from the beginning, but his decision to continue backing ice is especially notable given the chatter about a potential presidential run.

We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September.
They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police.

This is good to hear but I’m still calling them both, durbin loves being a coward too much 😒
And just to close the loop on this, Durbin now says he will vote no on the bill to fund the government.
Duckworth has announced she's a no; since Warner, Rosen and Cortez Masto have said they will vote no, there are now more than 40 votes against cloture, even if Durbin votes for it.

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border.
Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE).

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again.
Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.
There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.
Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.
24 hours. Go.

Here is another org that can desperately use your help. If a non-citizen get kidnapped by ICE here, regardless of status, they are flying them out of the state as soon as the can. Legal representation can be the difference between seeing your family again, or, given conditions in TX, life and death.
I spoke to a friend on the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota board. They need financial donations to keep up with the heightened demand for their services: www.ilcm.org

Cases are already popping up in NC - mainly western, from what I’ve seen - but just a heads up to take precautions accordingly if your community includes medically vulnerable folks who aren’t protected by the vaccine. Measles can be transmitted via aerosol, so masking (KN95 or better) could help.
