ICE is racing to deport Black people to Haiti as fast as they possibly can. And they're not letting ANYTHING get in their way.

A thread:
You might think that if you aren't *from* Haiti, aren't a Haitian citizen, and HAVE NEVER BEEN TO HAITI IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE, that would probably stop ICE from deporting you to Haiti.

Paul Pierrilus thought that too. But last month, ICE proved him wrong.

What about being super, super young? Could that stop you from ending up on an ICE Air flight to Haiti?

Nope, sorry, ICE literally deported a two-month-old baby to Haiti in February.

What if you suffered horrific violence in Haiti *and* you fled to the U.S. with your baby *and* the Biden admin KNEW deporting you to Haiti could put you in danger?

You guessed it, doesn't matter.

Now Marie's in hiding so she doesn't get murdered.

Thousands of Haitians have been deported over the past 6 weeks, and none of them are safe. It's a crisis.

Things got so bad that members of Congress went to DHS Secretary @AliMayorkas, begging him to stop the flights to Haiti.

So he suspended them...

For a weekend.

Then he let ICE go right back to what they were doing: dumping terrified people in a dangerous country as they plead for their lives at the airport, like the man in this picture.

None of this has to happen.

There's no law or judge requiring Biden's administration to keep deporting people to Haiti. They could stop the flights TODAY, if it was a priority.

So we have to make it a priority.

Please share the info in this thread, and follow @HaitianBridge.
@HaitianBridge There must be an explanation though, right? Surely the Biden administration wouldn’t deport thousands of people into danger for no reason.

Well, here’s their justification:

“We’re deporting people to Haiti because we're not allowed to expel them into Mexico."

Unbelievable.

Meet Valerie Ortiz.

On January 8th, her dad William left their LA apartment for what he thought was a normal day: working one of his 3 jobs, returning home to be with his wife & daughter, and caring for his disabled mother.

But he never made it home.

ICE was waiting for him.
William came to Los Angeles in 1977 as a fifteen year old boy.

He was fleeing El Salvador, which was descending into civil war. He was reuniting with his mother, a U.S. citizen.

He's lived in LA for 44 years; it's his home, it's his family, it's his life.

ICE wanted him gone. William Ortiz, a young man, plays with his infant daughter i
With her dad in ICE detention, Valerie was completely distraught. She couldn't imagine life without him, for herself or her family. It would be the end of the world as she knew it. Black typed text on a white background that says: "Why

There was a failed coup d'etat yesterday and our leaders are deciding that it doesn't deserve any consequences.

We have two weeks to make sure they've changed their minds by their first day back. 🧵
1⃣Trump must be held accountable.

Congress should immediately begin impeachment proceedings upon return. The constitution allows for impeachment of former officers. The only real consequence for his actions will be if he is disqualified from holding future office.
2⃣The other participants in the failed coup must be expelled.

Our representatives must support the introduction of @CoriBush's resolution to expel members of congress that backed the failed coup.

Fascists. White supremacists. Nazis.

This is their violent panic as they start to lose.

They have to be completely crushed.

Never Again is a sacred promise to study, name, and fight fascism.

It's what drives us to get arrested blocking ICE detention centers.

Now, for the safety & freedom of every person in those camps AND in this country, it means forcing Trump out when he loses.

A thread:
Approaching election day (vote!), all the data we’re looking at points in the same likely direction:

1. The majority of voters, including in the states that matter, will choose Joe Biden.

2. Donald Trump will declare victory anyway, and try to cheat to stay in power.

What happens next is… up to us, actually. We can sit back, watch MSNBC, and wait to “see what happens.” We can hold signs and call our reps.

But stopping a coup isn’t about regular people making our *voices heard*, it’s about regular people making our *power felt*.
