THREAD: For #immigration jails, NJ is the center of the #COVID19 epidemic. We’re knee-deep in lawsuits to get our people out. ICE and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in NY and NJ are fighting to keep our people locked up - even as the virus rapidly spreads. Some observations:
First, there’s NO QUESTION that #COVID19 is in immigration jails. As of last night (3/30) ICE itself is confirming 9 cases (4 people confined and 5 personnel) in immigration jails already (6 total in NJ jails alone). And that’s only the confirmed cases. ice.gov/coronavirus
There are many more unconfirmed. It takes A LOT for ICE to actually get someone tested. “Gabriel” begged for medical care. It wasn’t until after he literally FELL DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS before ICE took him to a hospital where he tested positive. buzzfeednews.com/article/hameda…
1/ Community bail funds are never the solution but bc of slow &/or no action by gov’t officials on COVID-19 in jails & prisons, we have had to dig deep. All week local bail funds across the country spent every $ they could to get folks free & safe. #FreeThemAll

2/ Many bail posting windows are closed over the wknd, but these amazing community bail & bond funds will be back at it on Monday to #FreeThemAll. You can find & support your local fund @ bit.ly/localbailfunds or support rapid COVID-19 bail posting at bit.ly/covidbailfund
3/Incarceration has always been a public health crisis. Jails, prisons & immigration jails have always been sites of violence and death. COVID-19 has only exacerbated this. Knowing we must continue to push to #FreeThemAll, local bail & bond funds posted $ to free 100s this week.
URGENT: Yudith's husband was detained in a particularly heinous raid by ICE agents: they pretended to be doctors to get into their home 🤬

Yudith is under intense pressure right now. She's supporting a family of 6 children, one of whom has special needs & paying legal fees to get her husband out of detention.
So many of y'all are giving so much during this crisis. If you can, please give to help Yudith thru this

We're floored y'all...Yudith asked us to thank all of you who donated. The initial fundraising goal of $2500 doesn't cover much more than rent + utilities for one month. Every additional dollar you're giving will go to her to keep a roof over her family + legal expenses
