"It is no surprise that ICE is expanding in the Midwest."
"The Midwest has long been a critical site of resistance against ICE's attacks on immigrant communities, and this time around is no different."

🚨ICE arrests continued today at immigration court nationwide, with ICE officers handcuffing people in the hallways after ICE prosecutors moved to dismiss cases.
Today we got more confirmation that even where the judges are NOT dismissing cases, ICE is still detaining people in some cases.

NEW: As the Trump administration ramps up arrests and heavily limits releases on bond, conditions at ICE’s Krome detention facility in Miami have deteriorated into that of a third world prison, with people forced to sleep on concrete floors jammed in like sardines in appalling conditions.

Former Secretary of Transportation--who was not on The Real World or Road Rules--weighs in on the President's efforts to blame the fatal air traffic accident on DEI.

Now seems like as good a time as any to remind people that Donald Trump picked, as Secretary of Transportation, a former contestant on MTV's The Real World.
Cis folks, check on your trans friends right now. I don't ever think I've seen this many friends in crisis. It's beyond anything I ever imagined. We're not ok.

Fred appealed the case all the way to the Supreme Court.
This dark period in American history echos today as President Trump and his administration attempt to carry out an aggressive anti-immigrant agenda based in hatred and stoked by fear. In honor of Fred Korematsu's legacy, we are fighting back.
Graphic with a quote that reads “‘Fears and prejudices directed against minority communities are too easy to evoke and exaggerate, often to serve the political agendas of those who promote those fears.’ — Fred Korematsu, civil rights activist” On the graphic is a photo of Fred Korematsu in his old age, a Japanese man smiling at the camera wearing the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
During World War II, the U.S. government forcibly took hundreds of thousands of people of Japanese ancestry from their homes and held them in incarceration camps.
Fred Korematsu was arrested and convicted for defying the government’s order and refusing to go to the camps.
When Trump describes the people he wants to deport, he needs to take a close look at his ride or die folks.
Picture of a Guantanamo Bay prison with the overlaid quote, " TRUMP ORDERS THE OPENING OF A DE FACTO CONCENTRATION CAMP FOR UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS AT GUANTANAMO BAY. This is inhumane. We must fight back."
Putting people in camps? Is this where we are?

Something I’ve learned over the years:
Just because you don’t see it happen on social media doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
In fact, some of the best community building I’ve seen *has* to happen offline so strategies can get fine-tuned and aligned.
We’ll need to grant more grace in the now.
A very important reminder. ICE can't go inside a house without the permission of someone there. Administrative warrants are not judicial warrants.
Wow. Didn’t think it was going to happen.
