My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

Another life lost to immigration detention: Last month Lorenzo Antonio Batrez Vargas, 32, died while in ICE custody on August 31 in AZ. ICE had detained Mr. Batrez Vargas at Central Arizona Correctional Complex in Florence, AZ and has reported that the cause of his death is currently known.

🚨BREAKING 🚨 The Supreme Court on Monday overturned an order that had blocked ICE from committing egregious racial profiling, as they did in raids in Los Angeles earlier this year. 🧵

🚨ALERT: ICE & other feds raided the Home Depot parking lot on Rhode Island this morning (8/12) and detained approx 15 people who were both workers and shoppers. Multiple agencies were involved and the cowards were masked. 1/

ICE will be handed tens of billions of dollars to continue carrying out Trump's cruel plans of mass deportations. Taxpayer money that could be used for housing, education, food security NOT deportations. Our communities deserve so much better.

The Supreme Court's ruling on nationwide injunctions and birthright citizenship in Trump v. CASA raises more questions than answers. Here's what we know so far: www.nilc.org/articles/ana...

🚨 US Supreme Court Limits Ability to Block Trump Policies Nationwide 🚨 Today, the Supreme Court ruled to limit federal judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions — a major blow to efforts that block unconstitutional policies like Trump's attack on birthright citizenship🧵

Such a crystal clear example of how an attack on immigrant rights is an attack on all of our rights. Thank you for your clarity @the-ilrc.bsky.social The harder they attack our rights, the more we must defiantly insist on on our rights.

Breaking news: Four people have escaped from an immigration detention facility in Newark. They escaped from Delaney Hall, a privately run New Jersey detention facility that local elected officials have sought to close, Department of Homeland Security officials said.

This is outrageous. Another example of the Trump administration trying to silence dissenting voices and anyone willing to challenge their false narratives.

Sanctuary policies make communities safer. The list of jurisdictions published by DHS is an attempt to intimidate and strip away protections that keep all communities safe, including immigrants.

CNN@cnn.com · last yr.

The Department of Homeland Security is putting more than 500 “sanctuary jurisdictions” on notice that the Trump administration views them as obstructing immigration enforcement, as it attempts to increase pressure on communities it believes are standing in the way of the president’s agenda.

New Jersey: let’s make one thing clear. 💥This is a hollow attempt at intimidation and nothing more 💥 Sanctuary policies are already in compliance with federal law. A change in immigration law does not change the constitution. www.dhs.gov/sanctuary-ju...
