Thank you for sharing our lawsuit, Kyle. ICE took one CASA member on his way to a life-saving dialysis appointment, one mile from the hospital. They ignored his U.S. driver’s license and left him without critical treatment that day, putting his health in immediate danger.

JUST IN: A new class action lawsuit challenges ICE's warrantless immigration arrests in Washington, D.C., which they say are occuring without probable cause and based largely on perceived ethnicity.

ACLU of the District of Columbia @aclu-dc.bsky.social · 13d

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration on behalf of four D.C. residents for its practice of illegal arrests of immigrants in the District. Since August, federal agents in D.C. have arrested hundreds of immigrants with no warrants and no legal justification. 1/ 🧵

A white background with a photo of protestors with low transparency set against it, and D.C. flag imagery at the top. The text of the image reads: "Police have abused their power. Using militarized tactics on local residents, racially profiling immigrants and Latinos at work, schooll, and church, and ripping communities apart." At the bottom of the image are the organizational logos for the ACLU of D.C., National Immigration Project, CASA, Washington Lawyers' Committee For Civil Rights and Urban Affairs, and Amica Center For Immigrant Rights.

Our city and economy cannot function or prosper without these invaluable workers.” @32bjseiu.bsky.social Exec. Vice President & @seiu.org Latino Caucus Chair, Jaime Contreras. #WeAreAllDC

A CASA member and DC resident was on his way to a dialysis appointment - a treatment he could die without - when he was taken by ICE. This is the reality for so many families in DC and across the country. Families are living in fear of being kidnapped and separated. #WeAreAllDC

By militarizing DC and threatening others, Trump is targeting Black-led cities, harassing immigrants, and ignoring an economy that is failing working people.

We march to say: not on our watch. #weareDC
