From Houston to Biddeford, Maine to St. Augustine to rural Georgia, ICE is leaving plenty of blood on the streets this month. And from the individual agents to the institution itself, no one is being held responsible for it. It’s unacceptable. And we’re not going to stand for it.

This Saturday, the Disappeared in America coalition (which includes Public Citizen, the National Day Laborers Organizing Network, The Workers Circle, Detention Watch Network and the League of United Latin American Citizens) is holding a national day of action, demanding justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, justice for Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero, and justice for all the victims. We’re bringing folks together to demand transparent, independent investigations; protection for the witnesses detained in ICE facilities; accountability both for individuals and institutions; and real steps to stop these killings from happening over and over. We want ICE out for good and our neighbors safe.

🪧 Vigils are already scheduled in more than 175 communities nationwide, and we’re still growing. Let’s find one near us to attend here, and we can find tools to host or register our own actions here. 🪧

HOST OUR OWN

END THE ICE AGE KICKOFF

The work to abolish ICE will go far beyond this weekend. The Detention Watch Network, Immigrant Defense Project, and Immigrant Legal Resource Center are launching a new campaign to “end the ICE age,” providing roadmaps to take action at the local, state and federal level to shut down the detention centers, get these masked thugs out of our communities and redirect their funding to strengthen families and neighborhoods instead of breaking them up. ✊🏻 They’re holding a kickoff call for this effort TONIGHT at 8PM ET. Let’s sign up to join them here. ✊🏾

ABOLISH ICE - CALL @ 8PM ET

MATERIAL SUPPORT FOR THE FAMILIES LEFT BEHIND

Finally, we need to show up for the folks most directly impacted by these tragedies. We’ve previously encouraged folks to support the families of Lorenzo and Johan, but there are plenty more people who need our help.

The eyewitnesses to ICE’s murder of Lorenzo, including his brother Victor, Daniel Tirado Pantoja and Jose Trinidad Rojas, are being held by ICE. They have managed to get their stories out to the public, but they remain in danger of being deported or retaliated against. 💵 Let’s donate to help their families navigate the process and pay the bills with their breadwinner gone – we can support Daniel’s family here and Jose’s family here. 💵

SUPPORT DANIEL'S FAMILY

SUPPORT JOSE'S FAMILY

Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva died while being transferred between ICE camps in Georgia last week, the 22nd person to lose their life in their custody this year. His sister has said agents did not provide him with necessary medications, in what would be an all-too-frequent episode of medical neglect. His family is seeking funds to return him to be buried in his birth country of Venezuela. 💵 We can donate to support them here. 💵

BRING JESUS MANUEL HOME

Juan Jairo Coronilla Duran died when he was hit by a tractor-trailer while fleeing ICE in St. Augustine, Florida. He was legally in the country on a work visa and according to his wife planned to return home to Mexico on Saturday. His family is also asking for support for repatriation and funeral expenses, as well as to help care for the two children he leaves behind. 💵 We can find details on how to donate here. 💵

BRING JUAN HOME

The deportation machine is also rolling over those who fight it. Last week GEO Group employee Bandon Booth shot an activist named Emma Landis at a protest outside an ICE facility in Aurora, Colorado. In a rare occasion of fast accountability, he has been arrested and charged with attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault and felony menacing, and thankfully Emma is recovering well – she’s even returned to protest. But she’ll be out of work while she recovers and the medical bills are piling up. 💵 We can donate to support Emma on the road ahead here. 💵

AID EMMA'S RECOVERY

Laws are going up around the USA making it illegal to be homeless. Different laws for different states. Being pushed by a group call Cicero.

Earlier this summer, Cicero supported a law in Louisiana that bans public camping by making it a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $500 fine and six months in jail. Those charged could forgo jail time if they agree to enter into a program geared toward substance abuse or mental health treatment, the law says. But they could end up on the hook for paying the state back for the costs of such treatment — either in cash or by performing unspecified labor.

'Just comply'

I'm sure the "don't tread on me" mantra holds firm. Especially when your only convictions are the ones they tell you to have.

The nation of immigrants that has enormous contempt, brutal violent hostility and deep-seeded resentment for immigrants, says just comply.

Just comply and we guarantee you'll either be denied the rights guaranteed by the Constitution we claim to love and be deported immediately to a country you've never been to.

Or if we so choose, you'll just be more human inventory in a random warehouse with hundreds of others. Beds, meals, sleep, bathrooms with no showers and basic human dignity are extremely limited. We also don't keep track of or report any sexual assaults. Any and all accusations will not be investigated.

Actual American citizens are paying a lot of taxes for their nameless, masked ICE agents so they can anonymously live out their hateful, misogynistic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, disableist and last but not certainly not least, transphobic wet dreams.

Just comply.

"Mullin elaborated further on penalties states could face if they didn’t “scrub” their voter rolls to the administration’s specifications.

“The states that choose... not to participate in securing the elections, we will make sure we make those states a priority to look into who voted in their states, and hold then the election officials accountable,” he said. “If the election officials, once we gave them the information they need to secure their elections, and they chose not to, then those individuals can also be held accountable.”

Mullin added that this accountability can come “by fines, by penalties, and even, depending on how far it goes, prison time.”

with what's going on right now I think it's time we all think.

What will he do in the weeks leading up to the election, martial law, some other coup? Like we are nearing go time. I believe strongly that he will invoke full ww2 style camps, I may be crazy but if I'm not what then? Do we flee to the pacific States? Do we trust them to succeed and protect us? I'm genuinely getting nervous now and kind of want a collective opinion
