Our government’s detention and deportation regime is a continuation of a brutal colonial genocide. The New Sanctuary Coalition stands in solidarity with indigenous peoples, and for the freedom of movement for all individuals — not for conquest but for liberation.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
