The Neo-Confederate hate group League of the South is launching a Russian-language section of its website to attract people interested in "Southern nationalism." al.com/news/index.ssf…
The League of the South in particular and the racist "alt-right" generally have long been seen as potential collaborators with Russian activists. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018…

Last year, we won a temporary stay of deportation for journalist Manuel Duran, who was arrested in Memphis in April, then detained & threatened with deportation.

This year, we'll keep fighting for immigrants in the Deep South. #SPLCWinterReadingList bit.ly/2Bb112a
Like so many others who have been deported or are detained & awaiting deportation, Manuel Duran would be in grave danger if her were deported from the US. splcenter.org/news/2018/12/1…
Law students volunteered with us to help defend our clients. "Immigration prisons exact an enormous emotional toll, & they make it nearly impossible for prisoners to find legal representation for their asylum cases," one wrote. splcenter.org/attention-on-d…

"Let me be clear: walls work and we have them we are stopping illegals from getting into our country.” — DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

Let’s be clear: walls don’t work and no human is illegal.
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA): How many children 17 years old or younger have died in DHS, ICE or CBP custody since you took office?

DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen: I will get back you.

That number should be 0.
"I'm not a liar. We've never had a policy of family separation." — DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen

We represent parents who have been separated from their children. Secretary Nielsen's claims do not reflect the facts that we are seeing on the ground. bit.ly/2Ltf7iV

Peter Brown is a US citizen who was mistakenly detained by ICE after local sheriffs arrested him. We're suing. npr.org/2018/12/18/677…
In January, 17 Florida counties signed Basic Ordering Agreements, which compensate local sheriffs for their collaboration with ICE. Our lawsuit is the first to challenge a Florida sheriff for unlawfully detaining people at ICE’s request as part of a BOA. splcenter.org/news/2018/12/0…
Peter Brown was released from detention but as a result of the ordeal he lost his job and was unemployed. He also lives with the fear that he’ll be sent away from his family and friends. splcenter.org/seeking-justic…

Lol @ the people in my mentions with this tweet
1. Assuming I’m from the south (I’m from LA and split my life between LA & Chicago since I was 8)
2. Still trying to argue that the south hasn’t produced any labor movements
I can start with the strike by Black launderesses in ATL in 1881 that was the precursor to labor strikes across the country and the subsequent creation of Labor Day

The Birmingham civil rights movement was strengthened by black labor groups

Amazing: Neo-Confederate hate group launches Russian language section of its website. “As fellow Whites of northern European extraction, we come from the same general gene pool.” al.com/news/index.ssf…
Trump, like Putin, is obsessed with nationalism. When Putin came to power he reverted to the Soviet national anthem (and had new lyrics written) and the pre-revolutionary flag. And you know the garbage Trump has been selling about our anthem and flag. cnn.com/2000/WORLD/eur…
Interesting stuff. rbth.com/history/327753…

1/2 A white supremacist group based in Alabama, The League of the South, is parroting Butina, using its website to promote the view in English & in Russian that "the Russian people and Southerners are natural allies." The League has chapters in 16 states. al.com/news/index.ssf…
This is Putin-talk to divide & weaken us: "As fellow Whites of northern European extraction, we come from the same general gene pool. As inheritors of the European cultural tradition, we share similar values, customs & ways of life. & as Christians, we worship the same Lord."
3/ A little bit more: In 2014, Michael Hill who heads League of the South was in Moscow at a conference, discussing white heritage & a "multi-polar" world. goo.gl/MZP33q (Twitter won't let me post to LoS's website, so this short URL will take you to the article)

I am starting this thread so that everyone can see with their own eyes the massive amount human traffickers that have been taken down. MSM won't tell you and journalist like @Indira_L make it sound like @therealroseanne is a whacko conspiracy nutjob.
Nothing could be farther from the truth and Indira L knows it. She is just creating the question to deflect away from the real issue which is human/child trafficking.
