As the Trump administration takes its violent, indiscriminate roadshow across North Carolina, we’re reminded of the resilience and unity of North Carolina’s immigrant communities. We stand in solidarity with North Carolina.

E.B. White's granddaughter condemns the use of "Charlotte's Web" in association with immigration enforcement operations in NC. “[My grandfather] certainly didn’t believe in masked men, in unmarked cars, raiding people’s homes and workplaces w/o IDs or summons... He didn’t condone fear-mongering.”

Faith leaders from across the country are offering moral clarity and a sharp contrast to the moral collapse of our government leaders.

Dr. Alan Shapiro: "I am here today as a professional witness to tell you that the kids are NOT alright and that our country is suffering from a pandemic of amorality and cruelty that is harming children, families and the fabric of this nation." #AbuseofPowerWatch

Dr. Minal Giri: "Families are being forced to choose between safety and survival. Children undergoing chemotherapy, premature infants in intensive care — none should lose access to treatment because their parent has been detained." #AbuseofPowerWatch

Dr. Minal Giri: "Families are now afraid to seek even the most basic care for their children or send them to school because they see immigration agents in hospital parking lots and helicopters hovering over their schools." #AbuseofPowerWatch

Dr. Minal Giri: "As a pediatrician caring for immigrant families, I am witnessing an unprecedented crisis: children’s medical care is being disrupted because their parents are detained or deported by ICE." #AbuseofPowerWatch

Jim Brown: "ICE decided to detain my wife and put her in a prisoner transport van for a 6 hour drive with no seatbelts and no food or water for 12 hours. Since being detained there she has been degraded and subjected to absolutely awful conditions." #AbuseofPowerWatch

Jim Brown: "I am a decorated retired Navy HMC SW AW FMF combat. I have been living the American dream ... That was until July 29th when ICE unlawfully detained my wife Donna Hughes-Brown." #AbuseofPowerWatch

Rev. David Black: "Under Trump the Department of Homeland Security has been weaponized for violence and gleeful cruelty -- it's been used to traumatize communities." #AbuseofPowerWatch

Rev. David Black: "The agents opened fired on me, shooting me with pepper balls at least 7 times, including in the head and the face ... Without warning and without provocation they slammed protesters to the ground." #AbuseofPowerWatch

Jesse Franzblau from @immigrantjustice.bsky.social: "Congress must continue to demand answers and accountability from DHS ... It is imperative that Congress do everything in its power to end impunity for the ICE and CBP operations ravaging our communities. #AbuseofPowerWatch

Jesse Franzblau from @immigrantjustice.bsky.social: "While the administration often denies that U.S. citizens are being detained during immigration operations, mounting evidence contradicts those claims. An investigation found more than 170 cases this year where citizens were detained at raids."

Naureen Shah from @aclu.org: "Every person who calls this country home is harmed by the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement agenda. Its actions intimidate and terrorize our neighbors and families." #AbuseofPowerWatch

Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social: "As Americans, we need to stand up for what’s right and push back against these abuses by the Trump administration. Our democracy quite literally depends on it." #AbuseofPowerWatch

Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social: "Even our brave veterans have been targeted in Trump’s raids. This summer DHS agents pulled U.S. citizen, Army veteran, and father of two, George Retes, from his vehicle as he drove to work... Unfortunately, this wasn’t an isolated incident." #AbuseofPowerWatch

📣 HAPPENING SOON: A shadow hearing led by @benniethompson.bsky.social discusses the impact of Trump’s immigration raids and mass deportations on U.S. citizens across the country. #AbuseofPowerWatch 🎥 Watch live:

📍 𝐓𝐔𝐂𝐒𝐎𝐍, 𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐀: Local law enforcement is sounding the alarm as ICE begins deporting immigrants who are eligible for protective visas intended to keep survivors of crime and trafficking safe. #AbuseofPowerWatch

📍 𝐃𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐄, 𝐈𝐎𝐖𝐀: A Native American woman was nearly deported after a jail mistakenly placed an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer on her file — despite her clear tribal identity and legal status. #AbuseofPowerWatch

Note: The pastor being thrown to the ground and arrested here while protesting outside an ICE facility here — who police single out — appears to be Rev. Michael Woolf, a Baptist pastor (he’s ordained by both American Baptist Churches USA and Alliance of Baptists).

“.. Federal agents walk through a gas station market searching for undocumented immigrants during Operation Charlotte's Web in Charlotte, North Carolina.” @gettyimages.com

“Homeland security investigators worked approximately 33% fewer hours on child exploitation cases from February through April compared to their average in prior years.” Trump’s mass deportations are making America’s kids less safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/u...

Without the entrepreneurial spirit of immigrant business owners, our economy would be stagnant, local communities would be less vibrant, and our people less able to experience and enjoy the essential contributions of diverse cultures. Rather than tackling immigrants, we should be embracing them.

📍 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐄, 𝐍𝐂: Willy Aceituno, a U.S. citizen, reports that federal agents with U.S. Border Patrol broke his truck window, stole his keys, and stopped him twice within about 10 minutes while he was still in a parking lot. #AbuseofPowerWatch

#ICYMI: Los Tigres Del Norte performed “La Lotería” at the #LatinGrammys over a backdrop of the faces and protests standing up to fear. It was a stunning tribute, a protest, and a powerful stance of solidarity.

JUST IN: A federal judge has thrown out DOJ’s lawsuit to compel NY to aid in immigration arrests at state courthouses. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5. He’s been taken by ICE in Florida. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/16/s...

This Saturday (11/15), join us for a citywide day of community action where New Yorkers are coming together to build our relationships, visibility, and collective strength—borough by borough, block by block—in resistance to the Trump administration. Find an event near you: www.HandsOffNYC.com/nov15

📍𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋: New federal data reveals that agents under U.S. Border Patrol leadership are using force at rates 3-4 times higher than their peers. Oversight groups say this signals a deeply structural problem, not isolated incidents. #AbuseofPowerWatch

This Veterans Day, a cruel irony: America asks immigrants to risk their lives for our freedom, then its government deports them and tears their families apart. Learn more in our fact sheet. ⬇️

It started here in New Jersey. With a raid in Newark that detained a veteran. We thought it was a shocking, isolated event. 𝐖𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠. As @yunao08.bsky.social and @tusk81.bsky.social wrote, "No veteran or military family should live in fear of deportation and separation. Period"

📍 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐃𝐎: An Afghan man who once risked his life helping U.S. forces fight the Taliban has now been detained by ICE — a heartbreaking reminder that even those who stood beside our country are not safe from its deportation machine. #AbuseofPowerWatch

new from @tusk81.bsky.social: For months now, polling has been clear: "Americans have only been growing more and more outraged at Donald Trump’s disastrous agenda, including on immigration." And last week’s elections drove that message home.

📍𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋: Many U.S. military veterans without citizenship are being swept up by ICE – despite serving the country they now face being deported. #AbuseofPowerWatch

They fought for our freedom, but now some of those same veterans are being torn from their families and deported. This is not how we honor their service. On #VeteransDay, we demand justice for our heroes. 🇺🇸

The Trump administration’s #VeteransDay message: Thank you for your service. Now get out. Trump's mass deportation machine is betraying America’s veterans and tearing their families apart: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/trump-to-v...

📍 𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃, 𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐎𝐍: Trump’s administration deployed the National Guard to Portland under the claim of “rebellion,” but a United States District Court for the District of Oregon judge found the government couldn’t prove protests constituted an emergency. #AbuseofPowerWatch

Trump told Americans he was going to go after the “worst of the worst.” Instead, ICE is kidnapping people of all legal statuses, including U.S. citizens, and disappearing them with zero accountability. Americans are fed up with this cruelty and we are not going to let it stand.

It's a choice to fund cruelty over community. While essential services for working families and children are paused, the deportation and detention machine remains fully funded and operational. As a nation, we are better than this.

Yet rather than adjusting course, the administration is doubling down on an agenda that's making us poorer, weaker and less safe due to the callous cruelty and chaos that is coursing through their efforts americasvoice.org/press_releas...

"In fact, about 70% of American farmworkers were born somewhere else. More than 40% of that workforce is in the country illegally, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture." "Without these immigrants, we would struggle," said John Rosenow, a mid-sized dairy farmer in western Wisconsin.

📍 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐆𝐎, 𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐎𝐈𝐒: A viral video appears to show an ICE agent throwing pepper spray into a car with a toddler inside while the family attempted to leave a parking lot. #AbuseofPowerWatch

Good week for those on the right side of history. We NEEDED this week and this is a wonderful way to end it. #Exhale

Could anyone else REALLY go for a #RATM show right about now? And, damn if this isn’t the very definition of past being prologue. #GenX youtube.com/watch?v=kl4w...

FACT SHEET: Trump’s mass deportation machine operates with haste, deception, and violence americasvoice.org/press_releas...

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

President Trump promised to go after the “worst of the worst.” His ICE agents just went into a children’s preschool and abducted their teacher in Illinois. When will this Administration stop terrorizing our families?

As @tusk81.bsky.social wrote, "During the past several weeks alone, we’ve seen mass deportation agents operate with an accelerated ruthlessness and impunity" And that was before ICE showed up at a daycare w/o a warrant. When Trump said they "haven’t gone far enough," this is exactly what he meant.

📍𝐋𝐎𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒, 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐀: Federal immigration agents arrested a U.S. citizen father outside a Home Depot — then drove away in his car with his 1-year-old daughter still strapped in the back seat. #AbuseofPowerWatch

The places where our children grow, dream, and belong should always be protected. They deserve to feel safe in spaces that are made for them.
