Abolish ICE. This man fought California wildfires while incarcerated. For pennies. Risked his life. And then when ready for release, prison guards reported him to ICE. Now caged. Facing deportation to Laos. His family fled as refugees when he was just two.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/s…
Stay focused. Stay safe. ICE is back out in full force making arrests. You have rights when recording & documenting abuses by government. Pass it on.
From January to May, California prisons have transferred 500+ people into ICE custody. *This is a voluntary practice* that Governor @GavinNewsom can end today. Call the Gov's office at 916-445-2841 to demand #StopICEtransfers today.
For those new to the #StopICEtransfers campaign, and wondering how Gov. @GavinNewsom has been working with ICE to risk people’s lives, worsen the COVID-19 pandemic, and tear apart families and communities, here’s a summary ⬇️
ICE transfers occur when local and state law enforcement allow ICE to pick up immigrants who have completed their time in jail or state prison to detain and deport them.
This is the main way that ICE does its dirty work - collaborating with Sheriffs (jails), and @GavinNewsom & CDCR (state prisons), taking ppl who’ve done their time from jails and prisons, and funneling them into ICE detention.
