“San Antonio now ranks fourth, not ninth, in the county in regard to most ICE arrests in the nation," said Priscilla Olivarez, of the ILRC.
"We are seeing arrests at immigration court, at ICE check-in appointments in our neighborhoods, and even our elementary schools."

BREAKING: SB 1095, "Expose Data Deportation Centers," by @senatorsrp.bsky.social just PASSED out of the CA Senate's Privacy Committee!
We're proud to co-sponsor this bill, the first-EVER in CA to seek transparency and accountability from secretive, shadowy entities known as “Fusion Centers.” 1/
“Such oversight suggests a legal department that isn’t serving as an independent advisor to City Council, but as a gatekeeper for the mayor’s office"
Solid writing out of Houston detailing the value of pushing our local electeds in diluting collusion between local Police Departments and ICE thugs.

“City Attorney Arturo Michel admitted he hadn’t even considered the opposing legal argument that giving cops discretion does not violate Senate Bill 4, a 2017 state law banning cities from limiting cooperation with the feds..”
Kudos to @houstonchronicle.com for writing poignant journalism in these trying times ✍🏽
Mayor Whitmire leans on “convenient fiction” on the heels of Houston’s recent passing of an immigration ordinance aimed at codifying the separations between HPD and 🧊

Carlos Iván Mendoza Hernández is the latest victim of ICE domestic terrorism.
Carlos was sadly shot by ICE in Patterson, California. Another husband, father, neighbor, and friend attacked by ICE.
We share Carlos’s GFM in hopes of supporting his family’s needs 🔗

Three Houston City Council members pushed for a proposal limiting ICE collaboration with HPD — and it passed.
Showing us what our local electeds can do, and what WE can push our electeds to do in the fight against ICE terror.
A step in the right direction.

Keep speaking out, keep informing your communities of their rights, and keep supporting your local rapid responders.
If ICE abolition is not part of your local elected officials' campaigns, push them to state WHY.
There is little hope this will get the far-reaching media coverage it warrants.
Neither personnel changes at DHS nor minor drawdowns in certain cities are changing what immigrants continue to live through.
ICE is still wreaking havoc on our streets - the violence is escalating.
Our communities remain terrorized despite the news cycle moving onto other offshoots of this unhinged and authoritarian administration.
Today there was another violent shooting in Stanislaus County, CA at the hands of ICE.
We know none of this is constitutional. We know the law is arbitrary for those in power.
A new tracker located over 300 Habeas cases wherein the government defied court orders. The way this impacts our communities and their cases is a matter of life and death, literally.

NEW: Florida’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission police—yes, the agency responsible for wildlife conservation and endangered species—are performing dozens of license plate lookups on Flock cameras for ICE, according to public records that show details of the searches.
This admin is creating the conditions of harm and abuse wreaking havoc in our communities, while feigning “solutions” by making budget demands of “oversight” and “processes” that we wouldn’t need if not for these cruel detention camps to begin with.
FREE THEM ALL!
Not only does the budget demand 15% increase for federal law enforcement, but also a whopping $99 MILLION for immigration courts.
Some of that money would go to hiring ICE contractors to “conduct site visits” — site visits that are needed due to the bipartisan failures to address immigration.
Gas is up, our taxes fund bombs in Iran, food cost is up, and Donald Trump is requesting MORE money to continue ripping families apart.
The latest budget includes a demand for up to 30K beds in family detention facilities, and MILLIONS for adjacent detention support đź”— www.notus.org/immigration/...
Renee Good should still be alive today.
Texas IS ground zero for testing immigration enforcement. Advocates have long posited that education and other public goods might be next.
Changes impacting ability to obtain drivers licenses, attend school, and apply for work are wreaking havoc for many.

It’s not just Ms. Rachel.
The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention.
Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.
ICE arrests are up in 2026, and Stanislaus County is no outlier.
On average, eight people a day are arrested by ICE per month in Northern California. Many of those people are still unaware of their rights.
Red Cards, amongst other things, can help families prepare đź”— amp.modbee.com/news/local/a...
Today, SEIU members are joined with our partners in Dilley, TX where children & families are being held indefinitely.
We’re launching the #ReadThemHome campaign—reading children’s books aloud for kids in Dilley and across the country who aren’t allowed to just be kids. Tune in: www.readthemhome.org
Concerned community members are showing up today for a twelve-hour vigil in front of Dilley family detention center to raise awareness about the hell that is detention for our migrant neighbors.

Exciting to stand alongside @newamericans.bsky.social to join hundreds of voices in demanding justice for our migrant communities.
We knew ICE deployment at airports would lead to more violence, and what transpired at SFO proved our concerns true.
Local groups are now demanding answers from SFPD and ICE regarding their collusion and violation of city laws đź”—

NEW: Late last night, the Senate passed a bill that funds most of DHS, but with zero dollars for ICE and Border Patrol.
This is good news — our pressure on Congress is working. If passed, the bill is a good first step towards reining in these out-of-control agencies.
