Ismael Ayala-Uribe came to the US at 4 yrs old & worked down the street from my parents house where he was detained in an immigration sweep. He died in ICE custody from lack of medical care.
This man died from being at the wrong place at the wrong time because of #IceLawlessness, cruelty & racism.

The president doesn’t have the authority to act as judge, jury, and executioner.
Killing civilians is a crime under both domestic and international law. That's why we and our partners are suing the Trump administration to demand they release their legal justifications for these unlawful strikes.
