Israel has been separated from his daughter since '19 & has been a leader w @ResistenciaNW during tht time. When Israel's case was submitted for prosecutorial discretion, ICE denied his request w/o even reading his file!

We demand Israel be #HomeForTheHolidays! #FreeThemAll🧵⬇️
The Seattle ICE Field Office MUST revisit Israel's case!! He has been diagnosed w/ pre-diabetes, a condition he didn't have before being in detention & contracted COVID 19. He needs proper treatment.

EMAIL ICE FIELD DIRECTOR! Tell her to #ReleaseIsrael! mijente.net/DefensaInWA
📢 Organizers fought hard for the changes to the prosecutorial discretion memo released by DHS on Nov 29th. STILL, the new guidelines are not being followed by the Seattle ICE Field Office.

WE DEMAND OUR GENTE BE #HomeForTheHolidays!✊@ICEgovSeattle #ReleaseIsrael TODAY!
Here is Lily, Israel's family member, speaking on the matter:

"Last Monday we submitted his case... 97 pages that was not reviewed. I am asking you to contact the Seattle ICE Office so that he can be released... so that he can spend Christmas w/ his family" #ReleaseIsrael

BREAKING: ICE no longer has access to 171 million people’s utility information following pressure from our #NoTechForICE campaign ‼️

We've cut the data off from the source.

This thread explains what this means, and what needs to happen next.

More: washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
As Jacinta Gonzalez, senior campaign director for Mijente, told @drewharwell, most people did not realize that information would be made available to federal agents and the police.

"The data never should have been used in this way.”
This blocks ICE from using personal info to surveil, arrest, detain & deport our community. It’s just the 1st step. We continue to demand an end to the practice of data broker corps like LexisNexis & Thomson Reuters selling utility data, a practice that endangers us all.

ICYMI: Today the Department of Justice announced it will begin an investigation of the Phoenix Police Department.

It’s a confirmation what local community members have been calling for and it’s about time.
Phoenix Vice Mayor Carlos Garcia, Mijente founding member, shared in his statement:

“[The investigation] is a clear message that this department is unfit to serve our community and further violates the violence & distrust that our community has been experiencing.” @PhxDistrict8
The @PhxDistrict8 office has been pushing against violations of civil rights by the Phoenix Police Department from day one — including urging for an independent investigation despite the push back. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

It’s no coincidence that the DOJ decided to step in.

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. 👇👇👇
npr.org/2021/08/04/102…
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.

🚨 BIG NEWS 🚨

Thomson Reuters is facing shareholder calls to investigate its business for human rights abuses b/c of its work w/ICE.

The two biggest shareholder advisors in the world, ISS & Glass Lewis, just came out *in favor* of an investigation.

This is huge for investors.
This is how it works: Shareholders can ask the board of directors to change company policies or review business practices.

A shareholder in Thomson Reuters, @BCGEU, called for a human rights assessment b/c Thomson Reuters works for ICE.

That proposal is now gaining steam.
Thomson Reuters has done this for years: They gave ICE access to a massive database w/hundreds of millions of records—names, addresses, utility bills, etc.—on some 171 million people.

NEW: LexisNexis, the huge legal research firm, signed a $16.8 million contract w/ICE, giving access to billions of personal records, like credit histories, license plates, phone data, & more.

ICE then uses this data to target & deport us.

#NoTechforICE
theintercept.com/2021/04/02/ice…
This is a new frontier: These data brokers are increasingly working w/police & agencies like ICE & CBP, selling vast troves of personal info.

This lets ICE agents pinpoint people they want to deport, knowing their addresses, phone & internet subscriptions, DMV records, etc.
We've seen how this supercharges ICE's deportations: Two agents sitting in a car entering data can terrorize an entire community. Their information is entered into a computer, their records are pulled out, & then people start disappearing
