Right now, in the midst of #COVID19, ICE continues to detain immigrants in the US. Instead, we need to be strengthening our communities and showing care and compassion. Families should be #SafeAndTogether

Here is a look at the human consequences of misguided #immigration enforcement across the United States under this administration and during #COVID19.

Alan is a 24 year old community leader and artist in Arkansas. He has lived in the US for the past 20 years. Last September, he was arrested for charges related to public art. Unfortunately, his #DACA had expired (but he was waiting for his renewal). arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/…

With the help of donations, Alan's family was able to pay the $20,000 bond and get Alan released and back home with his loved ones.

Please consider donating to a fundraiser organized by Alan's family to help pay for legal expenses to continue fighting his #immigration case: facebook.com/donate/2488534…

Tesfa is a father to a young girl but is currently detained in a detention center in Alabama. Last month, he took part in a "last desperation move" by protesting the terrible conditions at the facility. theintercept.com/2020/04/12/cor…

The design and operation of detention centers creates a dangerous accelerator for the spread of #COVID19.

Tesfa is just trying to get home to his daughter, alive. He should be #SafeAndTogether with his family.
