BREAKING: We're back at the house of DHS Secretary Mayorkas, and we brought receipts.
In these 115 boxes are Trump's 115 ICE contracts, which the Biden administration promised to cancel. Instead Mayorkas has kept them in place, turning local police into extensions of ICE.
NOW: Instead of coming out of his house to dialogue with us, Secretary Mayorkas has sent the Secret Service outside to destroy our message to him.
We brought 115 of Trump's ICE contracts, which Biden promised his DHS would cancel. Instead, they continue to terrorize immigrants.
BREAKING: The Secret Service just tackled Kendra and Hallie to the ground.
Their crime: stacking Trump's ICE contracts outside the home of DHS Secretary Mayorkas, calling on him to cancel them like he promised.
This is how the Biden administration responds to accountability.
BREAKING: Kendra and Hallie were just arrested outside the house of Biden's DHS Secretary Ali Mayorkas (more info above in the thread).
The Biden administration promised to cancel ALL of Trump's ICE contracts. So far, they've canceled 1 out of 116.
Unacceptable. We'll be back.
Trump's ICE contracts turn local cops into immigration agents.
When you hear about a traffic stop that turns into a deportation? That's about these contracts.
It doesn't take a law, a court ruling, or Joe Manchin to cancel them.
All it takes is DHS Sec. Mayorkas' signature.
We need your help to keep building pressure on Biden, his administration, and DHS Secretary Mayorkas.
We won't stop until they start delivering on the "fair and humane" immigration system they promised.
“If you think he’s illegal, we can make him disappear.”
Yesterday the Washington Post released a bombshell report on Trump's ICE contracts. What they uncovered is horrifying, and absolutely worth reading in full.
1. The police departments who've partnered with ICE through these contracts are the worst of the worst.
Joe Arpaio loves the 287(g) program. Sheriff Terry Johnson does too, because he thinks Mexican's "values are a lot different — their morals — than what we have here.”
2. These contracts don’t just lead to immigrants being torn from their family. They also create a climate of fear, terrorizing entire communities.
Every trip outside the house becomes a nightmare: “The moment I put the keys in the engine, I’m risking not seeing my mama anymore.”
❌ The CDC concluded there was no public health reason for banning & expelling immigrants
⛔️ Pence pressured the CDC to start Title 42 anyway to stop immigration.
New testimony in congress shows that a CDC agency head refused to sign the order because it was clear this was just an anti-immigrant power grab. coronavirus.house.gov/sites/democrat…
The Biden administration is simply continuing Trump policy but refusing to admit it's for Trump reasons. But the evidence is clearer every day. thehill.com/policy/healthc…
We can't accept another day of Trump's immigration policies.
The images from the border, the terror that immigrants still feel in our communities - it has to stop.
That's why we're at DHS headquarters, shutting down every gate, telling Biden's admin to #KeepYourPromises
Biden promised to dismantle Trump's cruel immigration system, and replace it with one that's "fair and humane."
Instead, his admin is doubling down on one of Trump’s main tactics: using fear and suffering to try to keep immigrants out.
It’s exactly what we all voted against.
We’re at DHS to ask Secretary Mayorkas a simple question: are you going to #KeepYourPromises and cancel Trump’s border policy & Trump’s ICE contracts? Or will you embrace the racist anti-immigrant agenda you were elected to fix?
