On this day in history three years ago, ICE detained immigrant rights leader #RaviRagbir, and police arrested community members protesting this injustice. A reminder that when people stand up for immigrant rights, they are not treated with kid gloves. 1/ wnyc.org/story/arrests-…
Ravi Ragbir, Jean Montrevil, and @NewSanctuaryNYC stood up against cruel and inhumane deportation policies. For that, they were surveilled, arrested, detained, and transferred to an immigration prison in FL in January 2018. 2/ theintercept.com/2018/01/19/ice…
Jean, co-founder of @NewSanctuaryNYC and congregant of @judsonchurchnyc was deported to Haiti on Jan.16, 2018, after coming to the U.S. as lawful permanent resident more than 30 years ago. ICE's actions separated him from his four U.S. citizen children. 3/ theintercept.com/2020/01/16/jea…
1/From Ravi Ragbir's Defence Comittee. Ravi’s case is back in the Second Circuit, but His First Amendment Retaliation Claim Lives On!
#SCOTUS has sent Ravi’s First Amendment case back down to the Second Circuit for a second look. #IStandWithRavi #AbolishICE
#SCOTUS has sent Ravi’s First Amendment case back down to the Second Circuit for a second look. #IStandWithRavi #AbolishICE
2/Today’s order from the Supreme Court does not call into question the Second Circuit’s ruling that deporting immigrant-rights activists in retaliation for their political speech violates the First Amendment. #IStandwithRavi
3/Such retaliation remains illegal and wrong. The only question posed by today’s order is whether federal courts have jurisdiction to hear such First Amendment claims, & for multiple reasons, they clearly do. #AbolishICE

You’ve probably heard about Claudio’s courageous activism. In 2012, Claudio, a father of two, was detained in Broward Transitional Center. He organized with activists from the inside, as described in @ThisAmerLife & @thenation:

Immigrant rights activists then successfully advocated for Claudio’s release. He returned to his wife and sons, with the permission of ICE, who in 2012 granted him an order of supervision that authorized him to live and work in the U.S.
