I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Cleaners like Hayat have seen their working conditions erode over past decades. Employers haven't bid for public contracts because of lowest-price competition. MEPs in the Parliament's IMCO Committee, we all want stronger collective bargaining in public procurement rules – and we want it now.

“We deserve fair pay & good jobs.” Today, European unions representing 45 million workers launched a campaign in the Brussels metro, with essential workers calling on MEPs in the IMCO Committee to strengthen collective bargaining in the ongoing efforts to reform public procurement.

Oops.

ICE raided a New York farm just days after workers voted to unionize. ICE agents, armed with a list, singled out those who have been organizing for years. Let’s be clear: when people stick their necks out, the system moves to remove them. That's why we must all stick our necks out. seiu.co/436Ym5o
