1/A coalition of immigrant's rights organizations have called for a virtual press conference & rally today, 12:30pmEST
💥ICE Wants to Deport Shakoure, A U.S. Citizen!💥
2/134 days in ICE Jail & Shakoure's U.S. citizenship STILL denied. Last week's hearing was contentious. Vital records from several agencies have still not been received by his attorney. Without these records, nothing moves forward and he sits in jail day after day. #FreeShakoure
3/Help us free Shakoure before ICE manages to deport him to a country he has never even visited.
Now, more than ever, we must work together for justice and freedom.
2/Today’s order from the Supreme Court does not call into question the Second Circuit’s ruling that deporting immigrant-rights activists in retaliation for their political speech violates the First Amendment. #IStandwithRavi
3/Such retaliation remains illegal and wrong. The only question posed by today’s order is whether federal courts have jurisdiction to hear such First Amendment claims, & for multiple reasons, they clearly do. #AbolishICE
Faith and Community Leaders Send Letter to @NYGovCuomo calling for an End Family Separation & the Signing of the New #SCARAct
2/Almost two years ago in response to the Trump Administration's "Zero Tolerance Policy" that marked the tragic beginning of ongoing immigrant family separations in this country,
In the last two weeks, federal soldiers with no IDs have kidnapped peaceful protestors in #portland & thrown them into unmarked vehicles. "Acting" secretary #chadWolf continues to overstep. #AbolishDHS
2/Right now, in Hondorus, 4 #Garifuna community leaders and organizers were kidnapped from their homes & their communities as unmarked vehicles holding men outfitted with bulletproof vests, AK-47s and Uzis. #CumplimientoSentenciaYAdw.com/es/secuestran-…
3/They were pulled into Triunfo de la Cruz, in the department of Atlantida in #Honduras As the unarmed community looked on in horror, the kidnappers proclaimed they were law enforcement. They know that law enforcement does that have access to weapons of that grade. #SaveAsylum
2/His application for asylum was denied by racist judge Scott Laragy of the Oakdale immigration court. In late April, he began feeling a shortness of breath, chest pains, and lower abdominal pains. #FreeProtestorTabah#FreedomFriday
3/The nurse refused to test him for #COVID19 instead @ICEgov put him in solitary confinement. He is medically vulnerable to the virus due to gastric ulcers. Wilfred’s brother and sponsor Acha Policap Mbah is a soldier in the U.S. Army based in Ohio.#HelpSoldierAcha#FreeThemAll
💥Watch this familyreunion if you want to smile and cry💥
1/In the midst this pandemic our Friends in detention live in more fear than those of us sheltering in our homes. Because of your donations, we were able to bond out our Friend yesterday.
2/His words, after being freed from immigration detention
"I would like to share that being in jail and now being free for me was an experience. I learned to value my family more and more. I learned to love my family more and more. I have no words to explain how content I feel."
3/ "I just have to give thanks to the Most High and to New Sanctuary Coalition, thank you to Ambien and to @JaniceGinger1 & to all the members of New Sanctuary Coalition for giving me strength to continue fighting." #FreeThemAll
