Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

ICE has been targeting day laborers in Home Depot parking lots all over the country, and Home Depot has stayed silent. This is unacceptable. If anyone is unsafe at Home Depot, then we are all unsafe.
