ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

“Just trust me” often really means: shut up and defer.
But now, genuinely, I’m asking you to trust this one thing: you are not immune to repeated cumulative damage from COVID.
It will shorten your life & ruin your QOL. It’s just a matter of time. 👇
