Lives are in jeopardy in ICE custody. Here are three shocking examples of how 👇 #FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages 1/

Instances of abuse are well-documented, including a # of women bravely coming forward in 2020 w/ a whistleblower to report gynecological procedures occurring at the Irwin Detention Center in GA without informed consent. #FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages theintercept.com/2020/10/27/ice… 2/

In Fiscal Year 2020, 21 people died in ICE detention, including eight from COVID-19, the deadliest year in ICE detention since 2005. Under the Biden administration, 3 people have already died while in immigration detention #FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages 3/ cnn.com/2020/09/30/us/…

@POTUS

Since taking office, @POTUS has yet to address ICE’s deadly system of immigration detention. Instead, his administration has deported thousands of people and continues to detain over 14,000 immigrants. #FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages

Even more, people continue to tragically lose their lives to immigration detention. Since January, three people have died in ICE custody, including Diego Fernando Gallego-Agudelo who died on March 15, less than two weeks after claiming asylum at the border #CommunitiesNotCages

FREE THEM ALL.

A group of 14 people is currently risking arrest, chaining themselves to the mansion gate of CA Governor Gavin Newsom. The group, includes several community organizers who are undocumented, as well as immigration attorneys. #FreeThemAll

The protest falls some four months since the Governor’s initial shelter-in-place order. In the ensuing 130 days, doctors, health experts, and community groups have repeatedly urged the Governor to take action to save the lives of incarcerated people #FreeThemAll

Demands include:

*Use his power, including mass clemency & emergency release, to #FreeThemAll in state prisons

*Stop transfers from state & local custody to ICE & between CA prisons

*Stop the expansion of immigration detention in CA

*Hold the detention industry accountable

1/ Happening now: DWN, @NIJC, @ACLU, and @MigrantFreedom are holding a briefing with members of Congress to call for routine surprise visits of ICE jails in their districts and states. #EyesonICE #AbolishDetention

2/ ICE’s inspection process fails to provide an accurate assessment of the conditions people in detention face by lacking independent, regular, & unannounced inspections of detention facilities. We need #EyesonICE to hold the egregious agency accountable.

@ICEgov

3/Immigration detention is the unjust practice of incarcerating immigrants while they await a decision on their immigration status. Within a broader system which targets low income people of color, @ICEgov locks up people in abysmal conditions where a culture of abuse permeates.
