Dear ICE, Thanks for exhausting my church’s pastoral team-forcing them to run to schools and ICE sightings all over town during the week. We are already co-running a 7 day a week overnite shelter for the unhoused. It’s at capacity because it’s cold out. Where is your compassion?

This is the first time ICE has been sent to a state with a Trump backed Republican governor. Six percent of the population of New Orleans are immigrants. New Orleans, LA had a lot more warning to prepare for ICE than Charlotte, NC & the Triangle. www.cnn.com/2025/11/24/u...

This NC dragnet of ICE is a group of utter fools on a despot’s errand. indyweek.com/news/wake/th...

New York state fought this and won. ICE grabbing low hanging fruit in court buildings is brutality. Migrants thought they were in court for a routine hearing. Instead, it was a deportation trap apnews.com/article/immi...

Wow! Senators Kelly and Slotkin and Reps DeLuzio, Goodlander, Houlahan, and Crow encouraging members of the military to defy illegal orders!

I live somewhere where ICE and CBP is roaming. My church is tiny and we are already engaged in cold weather sheltering for our community. It’s so awful my pastors have to go stand in a school pickup line to protect hispanic mothers or rush to a sighting. Please pray for the #Triangle in NC.

Really wonderful news!

This is so very sad The dragnet is scooping up so many innocent people #Charlotte www.bbc.com/news/article...

ICE deports 'patriot' Purple Heart recipient to Mexico after two tours of duty

Agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter in a massive show of force. Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. But after the cameras were gone, federal prosecutors did not charge anyone. With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social & @blockclubchi.bsky.social

ICE vs the clergy

Direct to consumer medical marketers are doing a happy dance because the FDA made this decision in a casual meeting without even an Oncologist present. So, go ahead and get replacement estrogen by mail and see what happens. Suddenly, MAHA said there are no risks. www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/f...

At first glance, this headline may seem different than what I usually post. However, I think it’s important to read about how the crackdown is forcing many people to leave the USA because they no longer hold work permits or TPS. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Issue one: There might not be truth telling if immigrants have to give their health history. Issue two: As a nurse to Haiti, I can tell you the patients do not have a common vocabulary or descriptions about illnesses that Americans are familiar with. www.medpagetoday.com/washington-w...

Ridiculous response to Pritzker.

Completely separate from SNAP funds for our lower income and disabled neighbors is a ➡️➡️➡️➡️SNAP fund for vetted refugees. Of course the “Big, hateful bill”cut the refugee #SNAPbenefits to create a pool of $$$$$ for unneeded military build-up. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Juarez teacher Liz Winfield shared a powerful #CupOfJoe. She, along w/ @ctulocal1.bsky.social is standing up to defend students and neighborhoods, because federal terror has no place in Black, brown and immigrant communities. #FedsOutOfChicago

So easy to imagine now. Here is where we arrived.

Because of course he did. He's Trump. Rules are for the little people.

Amen

It fits the bill.

Trump cancelled USAID-but his heart is turned toward saving the people of Argentina? Right. . . Trump snaps at reporter over Argentina bailout as backlash grows www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

So they trotted out military equipment, played with it and gloated over it. Trump said he stopped (8) wars. Are we for peace or war???because the military bragging is quite the optic distraction.

Democrats sparking joy.

I ❤️ my hometown. Well done…
