Liam Ramos’ classmates miss him, so they decided to write letters to the ICE agents who took him. “Dear ICE,” one student wrote, “You are scaring schools, people and the world.”

Borders also keep you in
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

MN is showing what it means to care for our neighbors in really obvious ways, but also in a bigger picture way. We don't want ICE to just leave our state, bc we know they'll move on to others. We want it abolished. This is how we care for *all* our neighbors, not just the ones we live next to.

And also, ICE is doing much of their kidnappings not in big cities but in suburbs and rural communities. There's a pretty good chance that they're near your city right now snatching people. Minneapolis is on the news, but 90% of ICE isn't. Get involved in your own community NOW.
I keep seeing posts going "when ICE comes to MY city, we'll be out in the streets even harder" and man, I get that sentiment but I need everyone to understand that the work in Minneapolis is partly confrontational but MORE IMPORTANTLY aaallll the stuff organized in the background to help neighbors

We’re all stressed out, being kept up all night by helicopters, watching our neighbors get abducted while working our asses off trying to stop it from happening, and trying to parent and do our jobs while under siege. Please give your friends and colleagues in MN some grace right now. It’s a lot.

ICE & CBP never left Los Angeles. In fact, today the feds set a daily record for number of kidnappings.
Do not fall for the trap of “X says they’re leaving the city.” LA may have disappeared from the headlines but it’s still going on. We must continue to organize & fight back. Solidarity 🖤

cops shouldn't get a union
As a VA nurse, Alex Pretti was a member of AFGE. This union also reps Border Patrol, and may have repped Pretti's killer. I talked to VA workers who are furious and want Border Patrol out of AFGE. "For a union member to kill another is a fundamental betrayal of what a union is supposed to be.”
Alex Pretti’s Killer May Be Part of His Union
Border Patrol agents belong to the same federal workers union as VA nurses, a situation some of Pretti’s colleagues are determined to change.
