🚨 BREAKING: Thanks to efforts with @MPower_Change, @SAALTweets, and the 2,600+ of you who took action...
‼️ MR. F IS FREE ‼️
It's been a cruel 243 days of his incarceration.
@ICEgov's actions proved yet again that our immigration system was built on Islamophobia. 🧵👇🏽

Let's clarify that ICE has full discretion to release detained folks at ANY time.
Yet, they keep folks imprisoned under false claims, coding their anti-Blackness & Islamophobia into the language of "danger for community" or "threat to national security" like they did w/ Mr. F.

It's inhumane to have incarcerated Mr. F for 243 days. He missed his child's birth, his dietary needs weren't met, and his health was deteriorating.
Prisons, jails, and detention centers are always a public health crisis, but especially when #COVID19 is ravaging through them.

This victory is one of many that must be declared before Mr. F & his family can safely remain in this country; liberation doesn't always mean freedom.
Under this admin's new interim enforcement priorities he could be at risk for deportation b/c ICE has deemed him as "a threat".

Mr. F's liberation has been a victory nonetheless. One that will only continue to fuel the fight to #AbolishICE & #FreeThemAll.
Because make no mistake:
Any sort of ICE detention = family separation.

Any sort of ICE detention = family separation.
That's why the fight continues.
FYI: Mr. F's case isn't unusual. Xenophobia is the norm.
Today we ask you to celebrate his freedom by continuing to take action and join in on the calls to #FreeShakoure and #FreeUbaldo.
