Good morning, #5amwritersclub - getting a bit of quiet #journaling time before other writing. It snowed a bit overnight and made me happy. Last one of the season? I’m inspired. Have a great day #writingcommunity #iamwriting

One of the detainees speaking out in this article is Nasra Ahmed, a 23 year old US citizen who was grabbed by ICE on her way to the pharmacy to pick up anti seizure medication.

She had her papers.

ICE didn’t care.

She’s been arrested again at an anti ICE protest.

Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed in their home by a man pretending to be law enforcement.

Now independent journalist Georgia Fort has masked men at her door.

This isn’t law enforcement.

It’s tyranny.

They’re going after the press. They want them silenced.

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. I always like sharing my warm #coffee finds from the week, but also wanted to share a warm thought: you’ve got a story that should be told. It may be hard to get it into fighting shape, but it has value. Good luck shaping today! Stay warm #writingcommunity

Now some folks on the right want Americans to shut up, not protest, and stay in their safe spaces???

Morning, #5amwritersclub. The #snow seems to be late. Going to fire up the #coffee and settle in. I wish you peace, safety, and love for your fellow man.

This didn’t need to be said until powerful people spread lies about public health and encouraged violence. #alexpretti

Good morning #5amwritersclub. Are you ready for the #snow? Hope you’ve got something to keep you warm (like this latte I enjoyed yesterday). Time to get words on the page. Have a great day #writjbgcommunity !

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.
