Wishing Eid Mubarak to all of our friends in the Muslim community! Today is a day of celebration for many, but another day of inhumane treatment for families in ICE detention.

Ousman Darboe, a 26 year old undocumented Black Muslim father from the Bronx, approaches 3 yrs of being detained by ICE at the Bergen County Jail. He was recently denied an opportunity for bond again, despite a medical evaluation that describes the trauma of solitary confinement.
Today is Ousman's 1,000th day in immigration jail. His case is an example of everything that is wrong about the deportation machine. #FreeOusman (thread)
Ousman was arrested on July 31, 2017 in a home raid. ICE is the only law enforcement agency in the US that thinks it can go to a family's home without a judicial warrant and slap them in cuffs. It's unconstitutional. immigrantdefenseproject.org/ice-home-and-c…
Five days after his arrest, Ousman's partner found out she was pregnant. ICE was detaining Ousman in its discretion-meaning even they agreed they had the power to let him go. ICE refused. His daughter is now 2 and has never known her father outside of an immigration jail.
