Asylum seeking people don’t have the freedom to work, they don’t even have the freedom to shop using cash or choose where to shop, in temp accommodation they don’t have the freedom to cook or choose their own food - honestly this headline is batshit

“We are fed up with ICE & DHS telling us lies… NO MORE TRAFFIC STOPS BY ICE.” Wilber’s lawyer says he was sideswiped and shot by ICE without any clue who they even were — and ICE then immediately lied about what happened (again)

Wilber’s attorney: “Wilber has a bullet lodged near his spine and is losing feeling on the left side of his body.” #AbolishICE @DoorDash

The ICE terror regime is intensifying. Trump is disappearing people under final deportation orders from a federal database in order to prevent family and attorneys from finding and helping them. Remember: what they do to "migrants" first, they want to do us all. The time to fight back is now.

Immigrants with final deportation orders disappear from ICE detainee locator

The change will make it harder for many families and attorneys to determine where an immigrant is being held after being taken into ICE custody.

N.J. teen spent 52 days in ICE detention. Now she’s going to college to be an immigration lawyer.

The teen, who came to the United States when she was 9, wasn't eligible to graduate on time after missing school while being detained. That hasn't stopped her from moving forward.

A DoorDash driver did not pose a threat when we was shot in the back by ICE goons. They then refused to render aid and so a local police officer had to intervene and find the bullet hole. The bullet is still in his back after a day & they didn't give him medication for the pain. Sadistic monsters.

ICE Shot a DoorDash Driver in the Back in Austin

Rather than getting him medical help, they carted him off to an ICE detention complex—and the bullet is still in his back.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

And, according to his lawyer, Perez was discharged from the hospital and taken to ICE detention (Pearsall) ***while the bullet was still inside of him.*** He is not receiving any pain meds, was forced to sleep on the floor, and is being interrogated. This is torture from a torture-loving regime.

Alert ⚠️ An ICE officer shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in North Austin today after a traffic stop. He was shot in the torso and hospitalized in serious but stable condition. His attorney says Perez, a Venezuelan national, entered the U.S. legally and had a valid work permit.

I’d highly recommend that nobody download this app. At best, it’s unfiltered propaganda. At worst, it’s spyware.

The lawyer for the Venezuelan man shot by ICE yesterday says he was discharged from the hospital and transferred to ICE detention while the bullet was still inside of him, and that in Pearsall he's not received any pain meds and was forced to sleep on the floor.
