this is crushing. The evil in the people carrying out these orders. May they rot in their own guilt and despair.
ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.
Teen dies of cancer days after mother arrested by ICE: ‘She’s never gonna see him’
The mother's family pleaded with federal officers for her release from custody to say her final goodbyes to her son, but their requests went unanswered.

Abolish ICE
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

And then everyone around him when he took questions saying not a word. What a repulsive crowd. All worthless. To think they have families, pets, friends who love them, that they smile and have good days and all. Grotesque.

I can't imagine the excruciating pain of being far from my family unable to help them. Please donate and share.
I’m watching my family die in front of me, and I can’t do anything… while the world keeps moving like we don’t exist.
Famine is already there, everything basic is very expensive, and 11 people are facing the risk of starvation and death together. Please don’t wait until they disappear.
Donate, share, speak. Help my family fight this hunger before it swallows them 💔
