RICARDO, 9, GUATEMALA. He and his father were held in a detention facility for five days.
"I was tired. My feet were hot. I was afraid when immigration came.
I thought they were going to kill me." story.californiasunday.com/escape-migrant…
Ricardo is my client - reunited with his family after months in an internment camp. He is now undergoing therapy because of his fears of death at the hands of BP.
This is the regime's violent policy of deterrence in full display. #FreeTheChildren

As I've struggled against the government for the past 3 years in legal defense of separated children so many of you have asked what you could do to help rescue the children. You lifted fighters like @RAICESTEXAS, @AlOtroLado_Org, @ACLU, @EveryLastOne1, @JusticeInMotion,...1/
You lifted us with your voices, your funding, your activism. Thousands of separated & interned children have been rescued because of this #Resistence, & are held once again in the arms of their families. Thousands are still being held.
And so I plead to you once again...2/
Let's finish this job in one f'n swoop. Let's bring down the supremacists raining fascist cruelty on children. To so many of you who have asked "how can I help the children". Now is your chance to make all the difference. #FamiliesBelongTogether #NeverAgainIsNow #BidenHarris
Because of #FamilySeparaton my client lost her 2 young daughters (6 and 8) to ICE, after BP wrenched them from their screaming mother. It took a trip to federal court to reunite them. 1/
Because of #FamilySeparation my 8 yo client was stranded in the US, alone without family or friends, with no voice, in an internment camp, after his father was deported without him. It took a trip to federal court to have his father returned to the US & reunited with his son. 2/
Because of #FamilySeparation my client was deported without her 6 yo son. It took a trip to federal court, and a trip to Guatemala, before we could deliver the child to his mother. 3/
A call to action from the border to the heatland. All stops are off as the @NoBorderWallLTX takes its GOTV efforts nationwide, rallying young Americans to vote against the militarization of the border. Now is the time.
Let's GOTV - together. 1/ #RiverWarriors #DefundTheWall
Help us bring out a sea of young faces to the polls & end the cruelty along the border. The family separations, the land confiscation, the walls security zones, razor wire, floodlights, drones, choppers, military patrols. The #Resistance needs you now. charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/…
We aim to flip AZ and TX. The youth vote is our target. Music, art, activism, persistence, passion, family, desire, are our sticks of dynamite with which we'll blow the legs off the tyranny raining on the border. #BidenHarris2020
Why do we build the wall?
My children, my children
Why do we build the wall?
Why do we build the wall?
We build the wall to keep us free
That's why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free
How does the wall keep us free?
My children, my children
How does the wall keep us free?
How does the wall keep us free?
The wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That's why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free
Who do we call the enemy
My children, my children?
Who do we call the enemy?
Who do we call the enemy?
The enemy is poverty
And the wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That's why we build the wall
Enrique Uribe is not alone. Border residents are turning their ire on Trump. Landowners, veterans, mothers, and patriots have created an uprising in south Texas against his racist border wall. We will make him pay. #ChingaTuMaga 3/
