You are not wrong to be angry. You are not wrong to grieve. That is what it means to love and to see the people you love hurt.
We must turn that love, that anger, and all of that sorrow into action.
We must rise up as leaders, we must be loud in the streets, we must be bold and not give into fear.

ICE has completely broken our social contract.
They manipulate social trust and are creating lasting damage to our most basic social foundations

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

🚨ICE just got access to one of its biggest private detention center operators last night, thanks to a Navy contract.
The move lets ICE bypass normal contracting processes to tap GEO Group to operate its detention centers as they race to buy detention sites to house 92,000 detainees nationwide.

The CEOs of these concentration camps must be prosecuted for their role in the unfolding atrocities they are overseeing. They know exactly what they are doing. They have known the entire time. And in the privacy of their boardrooms, they cackle over profits at the cost of human lives.

If you care about ICE disappearing people, you should also care about indigenous communities whose people make up 1% of the population here in MN but 10% of the missing women and 8% of the victims of homicide. It wasn't until last year that a fund to help facilitate leads was activated.
