This is good shit.
NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year.
These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.*
So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds.

When you help make it so the only names people know are Pretti and Good, you reinforce the culture that says these things aren't "bad enough" until white people get involved. This has been going on for a whole year. Many non-white people have died in this same way trying to protect their neighbors.

One of the most powerful ways to limit ICE's reach is to rein in sheriffs and stop letting local police & jails collaborate with the federal agency.
When states take a hard stance against ICE, communities are better off and more protected from the deportation agenda:
