Contrary to the rumors, I am not organizing the biggest protest outside every ICE detention center including private detention centers nationwide on July First. Falsehood.
One person can not organize civil protests at all of these immigration detention centers
I mean the idea of having over a million people drive up to the nearest ICETAPO DETENTION CENTER and make a day out of it is just ridiculous. Even if chances are there is a detention center within an hour drive of where most live
One last correction: I definitely did not come up with the idea of bringing diapers, baby formula, children books and toys to throw over immigration detention fences.
On the record now. Leave me out of it.
Forgot the link to all icetapo detention centers. This just proves no one can pull it off. ice.gov/detention-faci…
This will not get media attention at all.
FYI June 30th is the anniversary of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 signed by President Lyndon Johnson at the foot of the Statue of Liberty. I would have picked June 30th and not July 1st if i were part of this.
I will be watching @FIFAWorldCup that weekend, but if this happens send pics.
No one volunteered to create a google doc with the list of all the ICE detention centers per state from that link and make it available to everyone to see and organize locally, carpool etc.
to end this thread.
I was already asked on a date by the Goons who do this. I do not feel like giving them a second date at the moment until at least after the World Cup is over. Busy.

72/While they abandon over $11 billion in tax refunds because they do not qualify to get them.
While they do not qualify for a lick a federal benefits contrary to what some have been fed by the racist propaganda machine
73/ IMPORTANT TWEET🚨
How much tax dollars undocumented immigrants leave to every state ( they do not file to claim it) and how much tax revenue each state could benefit from if their status is adjusted. See for yourself. They abandon that money because they never file returns
NOW FLORIDA, where a lot of racists breed, derived the most revenue from taxes paid by undocumented immigrants. PS: Hi @marcorubio, how are those massage sessions on Wisconsin ave? you should leave a review.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/addin…

The mother of all immigration threads with Verifiable facts covering:
1/ 🚨There is no border crossing crisis🚨
Unauthorized Immigrant Total Dips to Lowest Level in a Decade
The decline is due almost entirely to a sharp decrease in the number of Mexicans entering the country without authorization.
Figures from @pewresearch
2/There were 10.7 million unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2016, down from a peak of 12.2 million in 2007.
42% of these immigrants who have been in the country for over 5 years live in household with US CITIZEN CHILDREN.

The Stupident & @PressSec keep repeating that we stop 50 terrorists a week crossing the border ilegally. It is horse 🐴 💩.

state department declines, on average, 50 visa applications a week because of terror watch list, no fly list.. that is it, most planning to ✈️ in.
Now, if you needvfacts, about 50 people an hour cross into the United States with valid visa and overstay after their visas expires, making them out of status and “undocumented immigrants”

They come in using these:

Tonight, you’ll hear Trump address the nation about his immigration crisis.
Despite his lies, Trump is right about one thing.

We do have a crisis on our border.
A humanitarian crisis involving the mass incarceration of families seeking asylum.

(2) First, let’s address Trump’s manufactured crisis.

In 2017, immigrants entering illegally at the southern border hit their lowest level in 46 years.

America’s current immigration rate is net zero since more people leave than currently enter.

(3) In fact, recent government data confirms that most of the illegal immigration that occurs in this country doesn’t come across the Mexican border at all, but from those overstaying their visas.

Here's what we all should be looking at, who's profiting from these detention facilities? Did you know @ICEgov owned detention centers hold lowest number of illegal aliens? Time to #FollowTheMoney must be Dems and GOP otherwise we'd have #immigrationLAW

Something stinks.
CCA and Geo Group Inc. think about it, WHY haven't we been able to solve this problem for years? If elected officials are profiting while making America look bad we've got a problem. #FollowTheMoney

UPDATE: Client arrested in #EastBoston court still in #ICE custody. Fighting to get him out, but that's not what this thread is about.

This thread is about how @bostonpolice carelessly railroaded an innocent man & handed him to ICE

#AbolishICE #bospoli

BPD maintains a "gang assessment database" with the Boston Region Intelligence Center, "fusion center" which combines the worst information and impulses of local, state, and federal law enforcement. Their intel on suspected gang members is... well, it's bad. It's very bad.
The database gives BPD cover to "confirm" who is a "VERIFIED & ACTIVE" gang member. It's a serious allegation, something they'd be immediately sued for publicly suggesting about a white Bostonian. But determine that someone is young, male, & Salvadoran.... and here we are:

Smart article about Border trends, historically what’s going on & nice pictures for explainers.

Toddlers become their own sole witness as to why they are seeking asylum. In the past, small children presented to deporation/asylum court with a parent who could their asylum situation.

Trump admin offers migrant detainees with children a choice: Either keep your kids in detention or send them to “foster care”. Foster care is already overburdened & often unsafe.

Flores limits minor detention to 20-days. This circumvents that limit.

This is the ICE detention center for women in Taylor, TX, outside of Austin. The facility is operated by Core Civic, a for-profit prison operator listed on the NYSE under the ticker-symbol CXW. This particular detention camp holds 512 women. 1/12
Last year, Core Civic made about $180 million dollars, and paid out 90% of that as dividends to its investors. The company is classified by the IRS as a Real Estate Investment Trust, which means it doesn't pay federal income tax on most of its earnings, nor do its investors. 2/12
In its annual financial statements, one of the company's metrics for success is "occupancy rate." This is the same metric hotels use. Some of these women are being detained for over a year without a hearing, legal representation, or charge. 3/12

NIGHT COURT: About to stand on case where my 19 year old client & his girlfriend were jumped by 4 people all older than them. My client has bruises & a stab wound. But he’s charged w/ assault. The reason: the people who jumped him called the cops first. It really is that simple.
This is so common. Even when then there is so much evidence to the contrary. For instance, the people who jumped my client came to his building. They had no visible injuries. The police didn’t even ask my client what happened. It honestly feels crazy at times.
Police often make decisions as to who to arrest in assault cases based on very random factors rather than careful consideration of the evidence. For instance, when one person has an order of protection, they will arrest the other.
