Yesterday, after the 287(g) vote in Tarrant County, TX,
RAICES organizers & community members were pushed & shoved out of the court room by police amidst a pandemic.
This is a perfect example of how the police favors aggression over public safety. #DefundThePolice #UnmaskHate

We were there in an effort to make people's voices heard on the harm & fear police & ICE collaboration can cause.
& while the community showed tremendous resilience after the vote to continue 287(g), this incident shows exactly why our communities can't trust law enforcement.

This is just a glimpse of why we can't trust the police with black lives & we cannot trust them to interact with immigrant communities, as is evident in their mocking of the pandemic & our concerns for public safety.
This is exactly why we need to #AbolishICE & #DefundPolice

Important Note:
These folks were forced (because of arbitrary rules) to go out in a pandemic in order to have their voices heard against the renewal of 287g at a County Commissioners' Court Hearing.
