I am devastated and horrified by this tragedy. ICE killed Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee, by leaving him to freeze to death on a cold winter night on a Buffalo street without contacting his family or his lawyer. They're cruelty knows no bounds and this is why ICE must be abolished.

Over a month has passed since we demanded information about the Minnesota children held in federal detention facilities. We have not received a response.

We will not stay silent while Donald Trump and Kristi Noem imprison children.

“They took my cell phone and cloned it. They actually told me they did that.”

Government Loses Hard Drives It Was Supposed to Put ICE Detention Center Footage On A Kafkaesque saga in which the government has failed to produce critical video footage has reached new levels of absurdity.

It’s Time for Concrete Action on ICE. Sadly, We Have the Democrats. Democrats have offered cussing and scolding after the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. We need a real plan of attack, now.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.

It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

key detail most US media isn't reporting:
"No one — certainly not the ICE agents themselves — is even really bothering with the pretext that they’re here to make the city safer. This is Donald Trump’s revenge campaign, and they’re the foot soldiers."
