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.

THREAD 🧵👇🏾

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.

Help us demand the immediate release of Ousman here: bit.ly/2Pa118P

As you may also remember, Mr. & Mrs. F were clients of ours at Karnes. However, days ago Mr. F was transferred to an adult detention facility in Laredo, TX.

ICE has stated that the reason Mr. F will continue to be detained is because he presents a “security risk” if released.

That conclusion being the very definition of systematic Islamophobia that happens on a daily basis in immigrant detention.

These families must be reunited! Join us, @dcmuslimjustice, and @MPower_Change to demand ICE release Mr. F and Ousman NOW! #FreeOusman #FreeThemAll

Please continue to call for the release of Mr. F and subsequent reunification with his family here: bit.ly/3hTMpXj
