To be clear, the official position of the US government is that Black Haitian lives don’t matter and it is absolutely the institutional version of hate mail telling people to kill themselves It’s genocidal

“A Haitian immigrant who had grown increasingly distraught after losing his protection from deportation and being outfitted with an ankle monitor was run over and killed Monday in what his family believes was a suicide.” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The deportation machine knowingly sends people to their death all the time. That’s not to minimize what Liam and his family are going through, but to say it’s not enough to take control of this machine from the administration. The machine needs to be dismantled.

Liam and his dad, Victor Martinez Nieto, were on their way to a soccer game on Aug. 16 when they were abducted by ICE. “In a video of their arrest that went viral, Liam is crying and holding on to Martinez Nieto’s hands, which are cuffed behind his back, as they are escorted into an ICE vehicle.”

“Initial news reports listed only the pilot, first officer, immigration guard and stewardess, with the remainder of the passengers listed only as deportees.” In his poem, Guthrie wrote, “You won’t have your names when you ride the big airplane, All they will call you will be ‘deportees.’”

“Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos),” a Woody Guthrie song that Dolly covered as part of her 1980 album “9 to 5 and Odd Jobs,” commemorates the 1948 plane crash in Los Gatos Canyon near Coalinga that killed all 32 people on board, including 28 farmworkers being deported to Mexico:

In Gary, Indiana, two weeks without power left disabled people stuck in their apartments, parents unable to use EBT cards to get food, elders without any ability to run medical equipment. People lost wages and groceries and were thrown into crisis. My report from a climate and humanitarian crisis.

ICE is once again busy in Chicagoland this morning; rapid responders report two detainments in Aurora and a Chicago Public Schools staffer stopped but not taken on Chicago's SW side (it's the 2nd day of school for CPS). Video shared online shows another arrest on Garfield & Hermitage in Chicago.

Dozens of community members came to McKinley Park, Chicago yesterday to protest and document an ICE car that had been disabled during a detainment on I-55. The incident lasted almost four hours, as agents appeared to struggle getting a tow, including one scene where a truck arrived and quickly left.

“Sheriffs honoring ICE detainers the law forbids them to honor. Police departments emailing federal agents the home addresses, employers, and daily whereabouts of people stopped for speeding. A local detective asking ICE to run the immigration status of an armed-robbery victim.”

I’ve lost track of the number of times an immigrant has told me they had to sit on a prison bus in the back of an airport for six, 10, 20 hours with no food or water and being told to urinate in a corner or onto themselves.
