What happens if it's impossible to carry out 2,000 arrests every single day while complying with the law? Which comes first? The quota? Or the law? www.cascadia-journal.com/ice-ramps-up...

"“A masked agent in an unmarked car killed Lorenzo in his own neighborhood where he lived for 35 years working and raising a family...This is what unaccountable, unrepentant, unconstitutional enforcement looks like.”

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's last words were "me están matando"—they are killing me.

NEW: None of the officers at the scene where a man was fatally shot by ICE in Houston were wearing body cameras, according to two DHS officials and a source familiar with the investigation.

"Me están matando." ("They’re killing me.”) Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years in the U.S. building homes, raising a family, and contributing to his community. Now, his family is demanding answers after ICE shot and killed him on his way to work. ✍️: @tusk81.bsky.social

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

Water demands nothing. It asks us to be honest; to listen to what arises; to trust the current when life shifts its shape. Water reminds us that healing is not always loud. Sometimes it is the slow return of feeling. The quiet cleansing. The deep breath after weeping.

The element of water tells us: Flow when you can. Rest when you must. And never forget that even the softest thing can reshape stone.

🚨Tomorrow 🚨 Join us as we say NO to a concentration camp in Williamsport, in Washington County, in Maryland, or anywhere. 📍 Artizan St. & Potomac St., Williamsport 🕢 Friday, July 10 • 7:30–9:00 a.m. 🌧 Rain or shine Bring a friend. Bring a sign. Everyone is welcome.

Fascism is harder to pull off when everyone is running around with little video cameras in their pockets, and can easily share the footage of bad deeds with the world. newrepublic.com/post/212915/...

new from @tusk81.bsky.social: “May Americans honor the courage & vision of those who came before them by strengthening their communities, respecting their differences & working together toward a more perfect union.” Pope Leo's message is a reminder that welcoming immigrants is part of who we are.

DHS just spent $1.5 BILLION to purchase two ICE detention facilities in California. And the Trump administration may not be stopping there, as “CoreCivic is also in discussions with ICE about the potential sale of additional detention facilities."

Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, a former Afghan ally of U.S. Special Forces for a decade, died of a severe allergic reaction in ICE custody just 24 hours after detention. "Paktiawal suffered 'an adverse drug reaction' to an unidentified substance, which triggered anaphylaxis and exacerbated his asthma'"

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should be alive today. Every death tied to immigration enforcement demands transparency, accountability, and respect for human dignity. We cannot look away. #ImmigrationJustice open.substack.com/pub/migranti...

It's here. It's not coming. No one is safe. Persons have been arrested for touching the water, saying fuck Trump, & now naming Renee Good's killer. As warned, this is right out of the Nazi playbook, arresting & disappearing citizens. We no longer have civil rights or First Amendment protections.

In Brooklyn’s “Little Haiti,” there is uncertainty for many Haitian immigrants, as the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for Trump's administration to strip hundreds of thousands of Haitian immigrants of a humanitarian status that protects them from deportation.

It’s a sad day.

we hustled to get out an episode on today's decisions which are just ... callous, cruel, unmoored from law, etc.

Today marks 14 years of DACA. After 14 years strengthening our communities and economies in CA and across the nation, Dreamers deserve permanent protections—not uncertainty. #DACA #HomeIsHere #Dreamers #ProtectDreamers

“Between January and November, 261 #DACA recipients were arrested by ICE, and 86 were removed from the country. I cannot help but wonder if I could become a statistic, another mother separated from her children, despite being American in nearly every way.” #HomeIsHere

“Because a previous attempt by President Donald Trump to dismantle #DACA was blocked in the courts, advocates worry the administration is intentionally stalling renewals in a backdoor effort to undermine the program and drive participants out of the country.” #HomeIsHere

#DACA “has allowed me to work, pay taxes, build a career, and raise my children in New York City, where I have lived since I was 6,” Monica Rodriguez-Aguilera writes on the program’s 14th anniversary. “But it has never given me what every parent should have: stability.” #HomeIsHere

Instead of finally passing the Dream Act or at the very least resolving #DACA renewal delays, nearly every single Congressional Republican gave Trump and Stephen Miller another $70 BILLION to fund more of these abuses.

On the 14th anniversary of #DACA, one DACA recipient shares his story with @juliorvarela.com in the June 15 edition of The Latino Newsletter. DACA Recipient: ‘I Feel Very Lonely and Helpless’

"The greatest threat facing immigrant communities is no longer limited to the fate of one program." @unitedwedream.org's Juliana Macedo do Nascimento details how the admin’s mission to end DACA has become a broader effort to take away legal status americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/daca-at-14...

ICE observers in Minneapolis have begun receiving visits from FBI agents sent to intimidate them. A close friend-combat vet, mother, no criminal record-who was a volunteer observer during the ICE crisis, had a visit and was threatened for taking photos and videoed, claiming that filming was illegal.

At a time when so many Americans are struggling to pay for food, housing, medicine, and fuel, Congress has found the immoral courage to double down on tearing families apart, detaining children, and terrorizing communities. Enough is Enough! 🔗 bit.ly/UUSJ_Reconciliation2 #fundcarenotice

Congress just opened the floodgates for $70B more to ICE and Border Patrol while families face rising costs and communities face fear. Our faith calls us to demand accountability, dignity, and safety for all. Fund care, not cruelty.

Please take the time to read this. People at the ICE concentration camp in Tacoma are asking to be heard. They are living in horrible conditions and the state is not doing anything to stop it. ICE has refused to let state health inspectors in multiple times. #seattle #tacoma #ice
