NEW: We just released a report w/@JustFuturesLaw & the @UWSchoolofLaw Immigration Clinic.
We documented a years-long pattern of ICE retaliations against activists—arrests, surveillance, deportations.
And we're demanding the Biden admin. stop now. 👇👇👇

ICE agents followed activists to meetings, photographed them, circulated photos of them w/in ICE, & spied on their social media accounts—for nothing more than exercising First Amendment rights.
It's a constant state of surveillance, w/the threat of deportation always looming.

Beto, whose brother was in @OCAD_CHI, was picked up by ICE in 2019.
In detention, Beto organized fellow detainees decrying living conditions, like dirty cells & unwashed laundry, & was shuffled between detention centers.
He was then deported.

After @ColectivaCLT defeated the 287(g) agreement in Charlotte, NC, one ICE agent said “of course we’re gonna ramp up activities."
They followed a member, Stefania, to community meetings, cornering her w/questions, & monitored her social media accounts.

ICE arrested *20* members of @MigrantJustice in Vermont & put them into deportation proceedings.
They told them other members would be "next to go" & even deployed an informant, extremely rare for ICE.
In this case, ICE was sued, settled, & paid damages/granted relief.

We worked w/the groups above, @grassroots_news & @ResistenciaNW on this, but there are hundreds of cases nationwide, where ICE agents threaten, arrest, & deport activists b/c they dare to protest.
And it keeps happening under the Biden administration.

Sec. of DHS Alejandro Mayorkas has expressed outrage about retaliation, saying it's "unacceptable."
We need him to do better. We're calling on the Biden admin. to expressly forbid such retaliation in their upcoming enforcement memo for ICE.
We need clear rules barring this.

And it's not the only thing the Biden admin. can do to stop this crackdown & chart a new path.
We have five key demands for Biden & DHS. They must live up to promises to undo Trump's legacy & dismantle the immigration enforcement & surveillance machine.
